I also ran several performance benchmark tests to see just how powerful Apple's new A17 Pro chip is. The only sign that the phone was working hard was that the back of the device felt warm after 30 minutes. I was blown away when I played Resident Evil Village on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have the A17 Pro chip, meaning they can support console video games. Stephen Beacham/CNET iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max performance tests The new iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have an A17 Pro chip powerful enough to handle console video games like Resident Evil Village. The less battery percentage lost, the better. As you can see in the results below, both new Pro models did better than the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, as well as Samsung's Galaxy S23 series. Over the course of 45 minutes, I played games, watched YouTube videos, made a FaceTime video call, and scrolled my Instagram and TikTok feeds. Battery life can vary depending on how you use your phone, so I also ran two additional CNET battery tests. In my experience, the 15 Pro averages a full day on a single charge, while the 15 Pro Max gets between a day and a half to two days. The 15 Pro added 22% over a half hour period, and the 15 Pro Max added 21%. I ran a 30-minute wireless charging test via MagSafe on both phones, and the results were almost exactly the same.

I carry my iPhone 15 Pro Max without a case and use Peak Design's slim wallet, which is also fabric, but I can touch it without worrying about scuffs. But I don't want a phone case that I have to clean every couple of weeks. I tried this on one of my FineWoven cases, and it got most of the dirt out. The case's MagSafe magnet left a circular imprint on the cases for my 15 Pro and Pro Max.Īpple's support page on taking care of FineWoven cases and accessories includes instructions on how to clean them. Dirt and scuffs easily remain the case on my 15 Pro had scuff marks and indents despite not having used it much the first week. While the cases protected my 15 Pro and Pro Max just fine, the FineWoven cases showed wear and tear after just a week. The iPhone 15 Pro Max (left) and 15 Pro with Apple's FineWoven cases.
