I appreciate all the replies here. I did go with the iPhone 15 Pro and have been using it since Friday. I chose the Pro in large part because I prefer the smaller size. That said, so far I’m really not noticing meaningful differences in most tasks between my iPhone 10R and this 15 Pro. Apps might launch a bit faster but VoiceOver performance when moving between items is about the same and add-heavy web sites with videos that play muted by default still seem to bring VoiceOver to very problematic web performance.
I’m not saying any of this to be critical and it is too early to know about battery performance.
