Got the 15 Pro on Friday, first time to set it up doing the Quick Start method transferring one phone to the other over wifi. I usually make a backup on my computer and restore from there.
One key difference I noticed is that I did not have to set up google authenticator 2FA stuff on the new phone. Every time I've restored from a backup I had to.
Other than that, smooth sailing. The action button is nice, I have mine set to camera. Granted, you've got the camera button icon on the screen, but I was at a park with my kids this weekend and for whatever reason it was nice to have that actual button to press for the camera.
I got a clear case for it on Amazon, and here's a tip: make sure to get a clear case WITH the MagSafe circle charging thing visible. First case I bought didn't have that, it was nice and sleek and no clutter of that circle on the back, but without it it wouldn't hold tightly enough on an upright MagSafe stand. The battery backup wouldn't stick to it either. Sending it back and already got the right one with the MagSafe thing.
Other than that, it's still just an iPhone.
- only reason I point on the authenticator stuff is that last time around, I wiped my old phone before realizing I needed to copy over the 2FA stuff.mg33
- It was a pain getting that set back up, especially for my synology NAS at home. Have to use backup login codes, reset it. Frustrating. Glad this was seamless.mg33
- I did the Quick Start thing when I got my 14 Pro. It really does the trick.Continuity

- Incidentally — and I didn't know this until I got my M1 MBP — Mac OS has a similar thing as iOS Quick Start, over WiFi.Continuity
