iPhone 15 Pro Am I the only one disappointed in the i15Pro?

[MikesGravity]

I'm really not liking the iPhone 15 Pro. Some of it is probably iOS 17 bugs but man, typing is still a chore, even after 17.1.1. It gets laggy and doesn't register touches always.

The audio recording automatically starts randomly in messages.

The animations get laggy.

In spotlight search some of my keys are highlighted for some reason.

I should have kept my 13 Pro - it was flawless (though I never had iOS 17 on it).

Just venting.

I've had occasions where the screen doesn't register that I've touched it, but doesn't happen too often, but it should be addressed.

Also, to stop the laggy animations, disable Always On Display. That completely fixed any animation lags I've had.

I'm sure Apple will sort all this in future updates, seems like there is a 17.1.2 around the corner that may fix things for the users that have issues.

The 13 pro had its issues too when it was released with laggy screens, severe battery drain and so on.

Yeah I agree, it seems they all are kinda wonky until some of the first few updates. But I just feel like the 15 Pro is the most unpolished new release in a long time and it's a bummer. Hopefully it's all worked out soon.

If I had to guess these seem like iOS 17 issues. I haven't encountered them with my 15 Pro.

 

[BugeyeSTI]

iOS17 issues. My 15PM has been excellent and suffers none of the performance issues you're having

That's just because your keyboard is translucent and there are icons hidden behind it causing what looks like parts of your keyboard being colored. That's completely normal.

I have noticed some bugs on my 15 Pro, but they are more around iOS 17 than the hardware itself. Otherwise, the 15 Pro is a great device.

...it also disables a feature exclusive to the Pro phones and one of the reasons for me to get that over the regular one. I'd rather have a fully functioning phone.

Fair enough, but I’d rather have my iPhone not lag.

You should be able to have both!

Obviously, that is not normal. Just get it replaced.

No, you are not -- the 15Pro is a joke.

There's a very good reason for the lag though. The screen refresh lowers to 1Hz to conserve battery, but when you wae it up, it shoots up to 120Hz really fast. I'm guessing that sometimes you catch it in the middle of a refresh cycle, so it has to play "catch-up" and therefore lags or skips the animation.

Not really sure if this is fixable, or just the nature of trying to run the screen at 1Hz.

People should stop saying "Am I the only one" when they are expressing a popular opinion, or at times even the majority opinion. Say it only when you see almost ZERO other person sharing the same opinion. But it is widely known that many people are not satisfied with the 15 Pro.

In what way ? You can't just say it's a joke without backing it up.

I don't have experience with the 15 Pro, but I haven't noticed how swipe typing has improved. Wasn't iOS 17 supposed to be the one where artificial intelligence is supposed to help improve swipe typing predictions?

Yet for millions, including me with a 15PM, the phone is a clear improvement over my 13P and my 14P. Not unpolished at all.

No complaints here love my 15 pro max no issues knock on wood .

Its just buyers remorse , we all deal with it.

You are the "only one" who doesn't know that this is widely known. In fact, it is VERY widely known.

It has been in the news. On virtually all tech news, but also mainstream news like CNN, USA Today, Fox News, etc.

 

[GuruZac]

I have noticed software bugs. I think as more features are added and Apple is attempting to provide new features plus software support for hundreds of millions of devices there are just more bugs to work through.

I should clarify, in summary, I am very happy with my 15 Pro Max. Battery life is awesome, form factor is beautiful, it’s fast, takes great photos, and I enjoy the UI elements surrounding Dynamic Island. No overheating, no slow downs.

This 1000%. Summarizes all of the useless “issue” threads.

Those channels just pick on the nonsene and anecdotal evidence that people post on twitter and redidit , they do not investigate this sort of stuff. This just repeat what they read somewhere
