Upgraded my 14 pro max to 15 pro max but pretty much feels like a downgrade.. (alien.top)

Recently switched from iPhone 14 Pro Max to Natural Titanium 15 Pro Max, and i honestly feel it's a downgrade.

It came with a dent on the frame corner that i decided to overlook. Something not expected from 1500$ phone but i though it's okay and it's not worth to return for this reason

However, the 15 Pro Max disappoints me with miserable battery life compared to the 14 Pro Max, Even though I've seen many youtube reviews saying it's the opposite. I find the 15 pro max battery goes down rapidly.

Got informed that it's normal because the phone is new and performing machine learning and indexing, but should it be affected that much?

I've also noticed a significant increase in heat coming from the 15 pro max compared to the 14.

Not sure what should i do

Your 1500$ smartphone came dented out of the box and you didn't return it? lol

And nah the 15PM is an upgrade in every way over 14PM, I did the same upgrade and I get at least 15% better battery endurance out of this

No offense but I think that the main issue here is that you switched from 14PM to 15PM and expected to see huge differences. 15PM will adapt and will be 99% the same (excluding the dent that you can fix returning the phone) compared to 14PM. Only 1% or less people will notice improvements from this small jump.

Are you on the latest FW? The new updates fixed alot of battery and heat issues for me. It's a better phone, not revolutionary or a huge upgrade, though Def better.
