iPhone 18 Pro Tops iPhone 15 Pro on 34-Hour Battery as Upgrade Case Stays Mixed

Summary
34 hours of video playback, a 6.3-inch screen and the new A20 Pro give the iPhone 18 Pro clear hardware gains over the 2023 iPhone 15 Pro, which is rated for 23 hours and runs on the A17 Pro.
£1,199 pricing weakens the upgrade pitch because the iPhone 15 Pro still delivers strong performance, supports Apple Intelligence and remains available refurbished for roughly £350 to £500.
Camera and durability upgrades drive much of the 18 Pro’s appeal: it adds an 18MP Center Stage front camera, a variable-aperture main rear lens, and Ceramic Shield 2 on the front plus rear protection.
The comparison concludes the 18 Pro is the more advanced phone, but many 15 Pro owners may not notice enough day-to-day improvement to justify replacing a still-capable handset.
