TL;DR: The 15 Pro screen protector is smaller, and it's almost the same size as the display area, so it requires more effort and luck for preciseness to align with the display area. Mine is slightly misaligned, and it affects the viewing experience. Trying to return it and am considering getting one from the Apple Store or just using it without the protector. Asking for opinions.
Since the iPhone 15 Pro series has a slight curve on the edge, it seems that the screen protector I got is smaller than the one I had for the iPhone 13/14 Pro series. I applied the protector by myself, but while I tried my best, it seems that I still didn't locate it 100% well, and the top part of the protector seems right on the edge of the display area, which affects the viewing experience.
I got a Zagg "Glass Elite Protect" tempered glass screen protector this time. The installation kit has a good design that helps you to align, but even though I had a "take 2" that caused some dust to get stuck inside that I can't remove... but still, I wasn't able to get it perfectly aligned.
Now, I'm hoping Best Buy can accept a return. This is as hard as applying the screen protector accurately for iPhone 11 or previous series that also has a curved screen edge. I remember applying the screen protector for my iPhone 13 that is nearly 1mm off-aligned, but since it's larger than the screen, it does not affect the viewing experience, so I left it like that. But for the 15, it's easier to make mistakes.
So, if you're getting a screen protector for 15 Pro, please take note of my experience as a reminder. If I can get a refund for this one, I may just go to the Apple Store to let them help me with their installation kit (but even though I can't guarantee they can do it perfectly anyway, I remember I got the same issue for my iPhone X even it's installed by them). Or I may just consider not using a protector at all.
Do you have the same issue or experience? What's your thought on screen protectors for the iPhone 15 Pro series?
Attached are the images for your reference. (the one with the blue case is 15 Pro; the other two are 13 Pro and 14 Pro)
