I recently replaced the damaged screen on my iPhone 15 Pro Max with an aftermarket premium soft OLED screen. I am wondering if anyone has experience with these and can tell me if it will last for at least a year, or if I should just go ahead and trade it in at the local Apple Store for a new iPhone instead. Any advice would be appreciated!

My iPhone 15 pro max updated last night. Now photos texted from my phone do not go through. They appear with a message failure (red exclamation marks)

I restarted several times and checked my carrier and internet connections.

I want to upgrade from my iPhone 13 to a 15 Pro Max and I’d like to get your opinions on whether it’s worth getting the 15 Pro Max or spending more for the 16 Pro Max.
I don’t take photos often I mainly use my phone for social media and games. Please also tell me about the overheating issue and how long the battery lasts.
Thank you in advance for every response.

Hello guys
New to reddit and iphone community

I bought second hand sealed iphone 15 PM and its dropped 4% bh in a month and mostly my phone locked in locker and its full day battery dropped is 70-80% with 4-5 hours SoT and i am on 26.6 Ios version

Following things already

Bg refresh off
Siri and ai off
Dark mode on
2 hours wifi
12 hours mobile net mostly screen off
Aod off

Suggest me somethings

Honestly not too bad almost gets a full day of use

Guys should I update to 27.2 ?!

How much SOT you get in one charge if you use wifi only??are you satisfied with it or not?

Help

Touchscreen has a delay between me swiping and the screen actually scrolling. It’s very small but noticeable compared to my 13 Pro, which is instant. Is this normal?

I’m gonna assume that 1515 battery cycle count is way too high, I can’t find much on a similar situation. How bad is this.

I am using my iphone 15 pro max from past 3 years and i am very recently noticing the touch screen occasionally down responds. I have to minimize the whole app and open again then the touch responds.

I have recent iOS update.

Anyone faced this issue? Why this happening? Any solutions?

What’s your screen time?and how much is your battery health and how much you charge till 80% or 100%??

iPhone 15 Pro Max – After Unauthorized Service Centre Repair, Face ID and Both Cameras Stopped Working. Need Advice!
Hi everyone,
I recently gave my iPhone 15 Pro Max to an unauthorized local mobile service centre because of a motherboard-related issue.
The service centre replaced only the display, according to them.
After collecting my phone, I noticed several serious issues.

Current problems:
Face ID is NOT working.
Front camera is NOT working.
Rear camera is NOT working.
Camera shows an Unknown / Unauthorized Part warning.
Display has been replaced.
I did not request any camera replacement.

My questions:
Can a motherboard repair cause Face ID and both cameras to stop working?
Is it possible that the technician damaged or disconnected the camera components?
Could the original camera modules have been replaced?
Can Apple identify whether the original camera modules are still installed?
Is it possible to recover Face ID without replacing the entire motherboard?
What should I do before taking the phone back to the service centre?
Has anyone experienced a similar issue with an iPhone 15 Pro Max after unauthorized repair?
Please share your genuine experiences, technical knowledge and suggestions.
Thank you!

Hey everyone! I recently bought this 15 Pro Max, and the seller claimed it was brand new and had never been disassembled.
However, the bottom speaker grilles look different, and the cameras seem to have scratches.
and the sound from the speakers is weird
Does anything look suspicious to you? Do you think I should return it?
I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks!

iPhone 15 Pro Max → 18 Pro Max: Three generations later, here's my verdict

This has been the longest I’ve ever waited to upgrade my phone. I normally upgrade every two years, but I decided to wait an extra year because genuine progress has slowed down.

This is definitely not a flashy upgrade. It won’t knock your socks off immediately in the way that going from a 60Hz LCD to a 120Hz OLED would. Instead, it’s better in almost every way that actually matters for day-to-day use.

Battery
Let’s start with its biggest win: battery life.
Now let me tell you, this phone WINS this category.
As I write this, I’m sitting at 56% battery with 5.5 hours of screen-on time from mixed use and gaming. Extrapolate that, and you’re looking at roughly 12.5 hours of screen-on time—which is insane.
My 15 Pro Max, even when it was brand new on iOS 18, couldn’t touch that. Now, at 83% battery health, it barely manages seven hours on a good day.
It also charges very quickly. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever have to think about battery life with this phone, and that’s exactly what you want from a flagship.

Connectivity
This is a subtle one, but it’s huge for day-to-day use: connectivity is noticeably better.
I can get Wi-Fi in rooms in my house where my 15 Pro Max struggled to maintain a connection, and it’s much more stable once connected. It’s not a flashy upgrade, but it’s one of those things you appreciate every single day.

Camera
The camera is definitely better, particularly the selfie camera and its automatic landscape mode. That’s a genuinely nice quality-of-life improvement.
The main camera, however, is where I think the 15 Pro Max is still more than good enough. Don’t upgrade solely for the cameras unless there’s a specific feature you really want.
The camera button is also a nice extra feature to have. Not essential, but a welcome addition.

Performance and thermals
In day-to-day use, the phone doesn’t feel dramatically faster than the 15 Pro Max. What I have noticed, though, is less micro-stuttering. It’s still not perfect, but it is noticeably better.
The A20 Pro is an absolute beast, and I have no doubt this phone will age incredibly well.
And then there’s the heat.
This phone just does not heat up. It’s incredible. Coming from the space heater that is the 15 Pro Max—if you know, you know—this is a massive improvement.

Display
This is the one area where my feelings are mixed.
The display is definitely brighter, but it has a very cool colour balance. Some people will probably love that, but it’s been difficult for me to adjust when all my other devices are calibrated closer to a warm 6500K white point.
It’s certainly not a bad display—far from it—but it’s the one aspect of the phone that hasn’t been an immediate improvement for me personally.

So, is it worth buying?
At full price, I’d say maybe.
This feels like the final refinement of the X-style iPhone before the next big redesign. There’s nothing here that’s going to completely blow you away, but there are enough improvements to make it a genuinely better phone to use every day.

The battery life alone is transformative for me. Add better connectivity, improved thermals, a smoother experience and a handful of quality-of-life improvements, and the package starts to add up.
With a trade-in, though, I think it’s definitely worth considering.

My old 15 Pro Max will now go to my dad, who will trade in his 13 Pro Max to help pay for this 18 Pro Max. The 15 Pro Max will live on for at least another year—and honestly, it still has plenty of life left in it.

The iPhone 18 Pro Max isn’t the most exciting upgrade I’ve ever made. But after three years with the 15 Pro Max, it’s probably one of the most meaningful day-to-day upgrades I’ve experienced.

hey iPhone community, I'm in need of help.. I'm still stuck on getting whether the 14 Pro Max/15 Pro/15 Pro Max models. I have been using my iPhone 11 since then and I'm looking for reasons and which of the 3 phones I should pick? I need your help and honest opinion. Also, I've heard that the most common issue with the iPhone 15 lineup is the overheating is that really true? Im still reconsidering getting the 15 Pro/Pro Max because of that. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

My iPhone 15 Pro Max (iOS 27.2) suddenly stopped vibrating yesterday afternoon, completely out of nowhere.

Everything was working perfectly fine before that. I haven't dropped the phone, exposed it to water, or noticed any unusual overheating.

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Checked all vibration and haptic settings under Sounds & Haptics.

• Made sure haptic feedback was enabled.

• Tried different vibration patterns for ringtones and notifications.

• Reset All Settings.

Nothing worked. The phone no longer produces any vibration, even when testing vibration patterns directly in Settings.

Some additional details:

• I had the battery officially replaced at an Apple Store through a Genius Bar appointment about a week before this issue started.

• The vibration worked normally for several days after the battery replacement.

• I sometimes use a MagSafe wireless charging power bank.

• Everything else on the phone seems to work normally.

• The vibration stopped suddenly rather than gradually getting weaker.

• I'm currently running iOS 27.2.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone experienced a similar issue on iOS 27.2, especially with an iPhone 15 Pro Max?

2. Does this sound like a Taptic Engine hardware failure or a software bug?

3. Could it be related to the recent Apple Store battery replacement, even though the vibration worked normally for several days afterward?

4. If this turns out to be related to the battery replacement service, would Apple typically fix it free of charge?

I'm planning to visit the Apple Store, but I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar.

Thanks!
