iPhone 15 Pro Max 1 Year Later Honest Review - In this video, I am going to share with you my 1-year experience with this iPhone in detail! Share your thoughts, questions, and comments, and enjoy the content! 📱🎥🔥
I recently purchased my new iPhone 15 Pro Max about 2 weeks ago and it was manufactured in July 2024. I look forward to using it for a long time and I am glad to see that I get the longevity from the Apple Intelligence amongst other things. I appreciate long-term reviews as it gives me an idea of how a phone will work over time, including what pros and cons to expect.
Aweosme your in for a treat for the longer term. This phone holds up well in all areas, I recommend a case, though, as the back can crack easily if hit on the right corner
@@nickackermanchannel I have the Tech 21 Evo Check with Flexshock. It helps with the grip tremendously. Has even survived my baby girl slapping the phone out of my hand as I was showing her a cartoon on PBS Kids, landing onto a tile floor just yesterday, LOL.
@@nickackermanchannel I have the Tech 21 Evo Check with Flexshock. It improves the grip tremendously. The phone survived a fall yesterday in fact. I was showing my baby girl a show on PBS Kids app and in her excitement she slapped it out of my hand, which the phone landed on tile from chair height. Survived the fall and we kept watching lol. The cameras are great. I have a couple of my favorite new photos ever, which I used the 5x camera and added portrait in post.
@@CrisCheese_ Nah, something doesn't add up b/c WA autocorrect is just on it. Signal will rewrite entire sentences leaving your original text illegible to the recipient. And iMessage will do the same, and that's off a Mac keyboard b/c I run a Mac for computing but Samsung/Android for a phone & use Gboard on the phone. Have contemplated returning to iPhone for the ecosystem & ease of content creation but I just find Samsung superior to Apple for handsets. And like another commenter on here, I find Gboard superior to iPhone's keyboard.
The battery size isn’t going to be a huge improvement though by the looks of it. Maybe another 40 minutes of extra battery life…My regular 15 Pro barely gets 5-6 hours of screen on time with a few features turned off like Always On Display and Background Refresh.
I’m don’t think so, the 16 Pro Max has always been and always will be the star of the show with the new features coming to the Pro Max first, not everyone prefers the smaller iPhone Pro models and i include myself in that, the regular pro model iPhones are too small for me, bigger is always better for me, longer battery life, more screen real estate.
Love mine, super smooth and the battery is still awesome. Just went to Disney World and was able to use the tap feature on my phone and watch instead of using the cards or expensive additional Disney bands. I am looking forward to the 16 Pro Max tho, I made the leap a decade ago to purchase my phone in full and being able to trade it in each year and pay $400-$500 for a new one is nice.
My battery routine is... I turn low battery mode when in work. Then i turn back 120hz when i use during breaks. And 120hz when i use all along in the house
trust me this is cheap, we pay almost double in India even though most global units are now being made in India we get no discount at all and regardless, no iPhone is worth that much it essentially does the same as a mid range Android lol.
Nick You need to also reveiw Vivo phones like top tier Vivo x100 series speedtest and so on We hope in future you add that smartphone also. Thanks also your hardwork for each video
Thank you for your feedback, however I don't have interest in covering phones that are officially aren't for sale in the US which is my primary market.
The stainless steel on the iPhone 12PM has been nearly flawless for me after the last 4 years. It held its smoothness even after countless hikes, trail runs, and several drops on gravel paths (in its case/screen protector of course). I thought it was great despite it picking up fingerprints quite easily. I wonder how yours acquired so many scratches? Would you wash the case regularly to clean away any debris?
I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max on launch day, and it has been the second worst phone I've ever owned. The battery life is worse than that of my previous 12 Pro Max; it’s a complete disaster - I have to charge it twice a day. I even took it to Apple, and they said the phone was in perfect condition. The device feels much more fragile, and it also gets very hot, even though I don’t use it for gaming. The only things I like about it are the 120Hz screen and the maximum brightness. I find the Dynamic Island more irritating than the notch; when watching videos or movies in a 21:9 format, it is far more distracting.
I brought my iPhone 15 Pro Max brand new on day one Sept 2023, my battery life is now at 84% capacity with 410 cycles, I’m still thinking either getting the 16 or just keeping my phone and getting a new battery
@@zsoltszekely309214 Pro is way better than 15. 15 is literally the 14 Pro but with Usb C and without the third camera and 120Hz. I’d rather have 120Hz and telephoto camera than just usb C
Hey Nick, I do agree with a lot of what you said about the iPhone in General but I don’t wanna see a Finna iPhone not at the expense Battery Life I am torn regarding getting the 15 Pro Max or waiting for the 16 Pro Max Hey Nick, I do agree with a lot of what you said about the iPhone in General but I don’t wanna see a Finna iPhone not at the expense Battery Life I am torn regarding getting the 15 or waiting for the 16 Pro Max but what leading me towards the iPhone 16 Pro Max is the issues with it getting too warm and overheating which I heard that Apple has fixed but not sufficient enough for me they basically had to throttle the 15 Pro Max just so it wouldn’t get as warm so that’s why I may wait for the 16 Pro Max either way I’m still torn what would you suggest? Anyway great video as always and appreciate your honesty.
As always very helpful review! Top smartphone, with some dissapointments. Battery not sth I was enthusiased at max 2 days with all battery saving preferences with much of the usage being on wifi with bluetooth on. Extremely dissapointing was that the back side with a spigen cover lost its colours on the back right edge side. Finally sth I am expecting to be corrected with new IOS major SW Release is the vibration which again is not very strong. Finally as u mentioned there are occassions where it crashes the app. In overall 8out 10 in my opinion given the price tag.
Nick what’s going on with a pixel fold pro 9 video? I’m tired of all these last gen iPhone videos. Still love your videos but I would rather see some comparison of a fold 2 vs oneplus open vs Samsung galaxy fold 6… even better, would love to see some real foldable comparison like the vivo C fold 3 pro vs Honor 3, etc, etc. I’ve been watching a lot of videos of these global foldable phones from China and they are literally wiping the floor when it comes to how technologically advance they are compare to Google fold 2, Samsung, etc.
My last android phone was a Samsung Galaxy S4, I haven’t thought about getting another android since. But unfortunately, my 14 Pro Max gives me headaches. I think it’s the oled screen, so my favorite phone right now is my trusty iPhone SE 3 with an iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case. I hope there’s an alternative to oled or they figure out the pwn issue, or I won’t be upgrading for a while.
Less? I have way over 100 cycles, this is my primary iPhone for the whole year, I took a few breaks to test the plus and pro. I also try hard to not not cycle this device.
@@nickackermanchannel no i mean to say i saw many other tech youtubers they also have 15 pro max and they had cycle count over 278-290 and their battery health also come to 91% so i just thought the same by seeing yours
@@mrq8829 Use your phone as much as you need to lol. Use any charging brick you want. Doesn't matter if it's Apple or non-Apple. Same with cable. You don't have to worry about charging your iPhone with a 20w+ brick either, as the phone will charge at its max charging speeds (in the case of iPhone, 20w).
I’ve had 2 iPhone 15 pro Max, they both skip during videos, super annoying, overheat in the car and quit functioning correctly. Do not buy iPhone, the value for the price has gone WAY down
It heats a lot but doesn't shut down and performs well. Battery just dies too fast tho and some apps in your ram may get killed after minutes of gaming
@@franklincrews5630for battery consumption, it doesn't depend so much on the phone as the ios itself, ios is more important and for me ios 18 is not everything and I will stay on ios 17 forever
My iPhone 15 pro max’s battery went down to 90% in less than one year ( still 1 month left to complete 1 year ) of my use what can I do , can I get free exchange of my iPhone or any battery replacement !? Anyone knows it or do I need to buy a new battery
honest review 😂😂 nothing against him but some of these apple content creators would buy any apple product even if it was the worst lets be honest he might say something here and there but he only uses apple he is going use iphone regardless
I think Apple's control over their eco system is too restrictive. No apple watch with a Samsung phone or visa versa. And Samsung is guilty of this to as of recent. But that's Apple's deal. Nothing but apple products with Apple's products. I can use a one plus watch with a pixel, Samsung etc. A pixel watch with a Samsung etc. All that is what makes me gravitate to my S24+ or 24 Ultra. My 15PM sits in the night stand.
Yeah you are definitely not their target customer then which is okay and I get your point the universality of using different products, but there is also a point where when everything is tightly controlled it just works and very smooth and easy, makes life with tech easier sometimes even if less open
@@krskadavethe Apple ecosystem is better integrated because of it only being compatible with only Apple devices and that’s one of many reasons why nobody can match the Apple ecosystem, you’re not the target audience for Apple, but I personally prefer everything being consistent and cohesive and only Apple does that for me.
BIG hate on the polished sides, had a 14 pro max and recently switched to the 15 pro max. The fingerprints on the sides and even the glass around the camera of the 14 pro max got so yucky and scratched up I never took it out of the case. And even then it still somehow got some chips and scratches.
I've 14PM aswell and serouly dunno what ur on abt lol the phone does everything its supposed to without any hiccups for the most part !!! I've seen ppl with 15PM who regrets their buy saying 14PM would've been a better buy in a discounted rate !!!
9:00 - What a load if BS. I'm a tech fan and i still consider this not only nowhere close to a necessary big deal but just more if a negative towards the iphone itself. It was one thing when they were forcing eSIMs on people with the 14 lineup but having to be forced themselves to switch to USB c thanks to those jackholes in the EU, it really does nothing but take away what made the one thing that makes the iphone more unique when it comes to something like that. It just looks wrong on there compared to the nore recent iPads.
