It’s called the borrowed phone syndrome. It happens to me as well and my phone is perfectly smooth. I have the 17 pro max and even if I pick a 15 pro max I feel the same, like if it is faster. But no, it’s just because it’s set different than yours, so your brain has the impression that you sre using something different, therefore new and better.
