I came from android too and have to disagree. Only had the 15PM a few weeks but the fact a slight down swipe at the bottom of the screen brigs the screen down to reachable with one hand is a total winner. Android doesn’t do this and iPhone wins for this alone.
Ex Samsung user. Left my s22ultra to get a 15PM. Had over heating on wireless charging only. Texting app is miles behind iMessage. I find autocorrect better on iPhone. Lots and lots of menus to navigate round.
On the plus side personalisation is way better. Can change fonts, icon look. Icon size etc. battery about the same lasts a day with moderate use. Side load apps so more open UI.
I went from the size of the s22 ultra to the 15PM and am very happy. Size difference is negligible and the quality of the 15PM just makes it such a good switch. I wouldn’t like to go smaller I’m to used to big screens now.
I switched from s22u because I’ve done Samsungs on each upgrade for years and was just a bit android bored. I’m not a fan boy of any particular make I just get what I fancy. This time it was the iPhone 15 pro max.
Overall I’m very happy it’s fast, good battery, no obvious issues, comfortable to hold. Very good looking phone. iMessage is miles ahead of any Samsung or google messaging app. Galaxy wear is in App Store so my galaxy watch still works. Apps and ui very smooth. Run very nicely.
A few personal things I don’t like. I wish I could reduce app size they seem unnecessarily large. In photos after bringing all my pics over from my android I’ve got 5,000 odd photos in “recents folder” and they have to be there. Photos being in other folders seems to be just a shortcut they don’t physically move like in Samsung gallery.
That down gesture I had the s21 ultra and the s22 ultra and it never worked on either. Not through lack of trying either.
