I think from pro14 to a pro15 it is not much of an upgrade. But, I came from a pro13 to the pro15. To me it was a huge upgrade. The usb-c port has totally changed my cable management for travel. I truly love the usb-c. The camera is amazing. The zoom is amazing. The battery life is amazing too. I am glad to see you came around. 😂🤣👍😂
although my mate runs a business repairing iphones, hes started to get the USB C ports breaking the little tab inside, if your not gentle with them expect issues long run, so not as robust as the old port. I have a 15 pro max, disappointed in battery life over my 13 pro max.
I upgraded from 13 pro max to 15pro max they literally feel the same idk what huge u difference u feel or see but only thing to me that’s different is only the usb type c
My fave feature of the 15 Pros has to be the lighter titanium frame. My kids bought the mid year green 13 Pro, and I've always disliked the weight of their phone. Having held the new Pro phones in my local Apple Store, colour me impressed. I'll definitely be upgrading to a 15 Pro next year, ... just haven't decided which one. Thanks as always for the content.
I’m thinking of upgrading from the 12 pro max. My battery life is dropping. So I’m here to see if it really is worth it. I use it almost daily for pictures.
@@williamallen825 I can’t speak to the quality of the photo upgrade since I had a regular 12, but for me it was a HUGE upgrade in photo quality. I’ve been taking more pics with the 15 Pro Max since the quality is so good.
The one main thing you forgot to mention about the new iPhone 15 camera is that it takes pictures in 24mega pixel versus 12mega pixel from three previous generation. This alone gives better picture quality.
I been waiting for this. I have a 13 and been wanting to upgrade and go Pro because of the camera. I held off wanting to let things settle but sounds as if it has. I did check out the Andar cases and that is going on my Christmas list 🎅 . Great review 👍
Great video Mr Rambles as always. Agree the camera on my standard 15 is a big leap on the old 12 I had. Also the USB-C is more versatile and easier with accessories! Oh and I think all guys like brown and black leather(!) 😜
I’ve never seen you geek on “Camera” like this, that I absolutely loved the way you said, what made you feel in love with the iPhone. Great video Patrick.
Good evening Patrick So originally I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I wasn’t going to upgrade this year but I’m really unhappy with it & the battery Life alone is just horrible 😢 so I decided to do the upgrade for the iPhone 15 Pro Max one terabyte and went back and watched your video feel better about my decision. Seems like there’s some perks that I will enjoy and next spring if the 16th is better I will upgrade again but for now I’m happy with my decision, I’ll be receiving it this coming Friday, so I’m looking forward to it based on your video so thank you very much!
I am UP-Grading from an iPhone 7 to this - same color - I had the brown leather case on my last phone and will probably get this one as well - thanks for the review..
I'm planning to get either iPhone 15 Plus or iPhone 15 Pro Max but the heating problems make me a bit worried I hope it's better now I will upgrade from iPhone X to one of these 15 iPhones
I have a XR, I decided to buy the 15 plus. You don’t buy a car made of a new metal with overheating problems, this 15 pro max is a “test” device, it’s the first of it’s kind, I won’t risk more than 1k € for something that can go very very wrong. I’d rather to spend my money with a problem-safe iphone
@@MaayGallner same I'm planning to get the 15 plus seems so right and it's not titanium and it's not complex like the 15 pro-Max so there are less heating and issues in general.
@@Lilly-zu7jm And the 15 plus’s battery is a BEAST 😄 I am a very basic user, so I don’t think I’d ever miss all the pro max features, I just want 256gb memory, good camera and amazing battery. Plus is the winner!
@@MaayGallner same we have the same choices it's just the color and then we are identical 265Gb is perfect since icloud storage won't leave alone even if you had 1 TB
Went from a 13 pro to 15 pro max and holy cow this thing rocks. The screen is amazing, it’s fast, battery life has been great and the CAMERA! Nice review thank you God bless.
If you try to break the phone by putting your thumbs in the center and pressing it, the case isn't going to save it - the back is glass now with the foundation frame in the middle of the phone to make replacing the glass on both sides easier.
I don't know if you're wrong or not but i do know that i am watching this on my Z Fold 5, and owning the 14 PM l also really do not think I'm missing out on anything 😊
Thanks for the video! Recently picked up the 15 pro max in blue, coming from XS max. It’s a monumental switch up for me experiencing these pro features for the first time. 💯
I’m curious to know whether a full camera lens cover, one that encompasses not just the lens but also its surrounding square area, would be compatible with an Andar phone case. This query stems from the fact that the Peak Design case fails to accommodate the iPhone 15 Pro Max when it’s equipped with such a comprehensive lens cover. So, yes I waste Peak Design case and now rocking with Casetify case that fit perfectly for my use case. Understanding the fit and compatibility between these accessories is crucial for optimal protection and functionality of the device.
I've just received the Nomad Horween leather case for my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I'm pleased to report that it fits perfectly with the full camera lens cover. However, I've noticed that the raised lips around the top and bottom of the Nomad case are significantly less pronounced compared to the Casetify case. Consequently, in terms of drop protection, I believe the Casetify case, similar to the Mous case, offers better 'slamboy' certified due to its more thicker design in corner, ecoshock “orange” material in case of Casetify or Airoshock “green” material in case of Mous give better impact protection.
@@Raec123it’s a pretty decent upgrade. My battery life for my iPhone 12 was capped at like 78% by the time I upgraded. So it’s nice having 100% battery again. The visual island or whatever it’s called is also pretty neat. I’m liking the upgrade.
Hey, great video & I’m rocking the navy Andar leather case too! I was going back & forth about the brown color, so I may try it now! I also need to get a ssd reader soon, so thanks on that review as well!
Great video. Love the fact that you have to buy these for a tech channel. I have no such justification but I always end up buying them. However, I always said it would only be in store if they had my 1tb natural titanium. I refused to pre order. Picked mine up last week. It’s a very good camera. Log is epic. Agree with you there. But it’s not much else if you’re coming from a 14 pro.
most users will complain literally every single year "it's not worth upgrade". If it's not worth upgrade just use your current phone, no point every year bark like a dog. The upgrade is for those whom are using old phone or switched from android phone. From iPhone 13 or 14 to iPhone 15 OF COURSE YOU WILL NOT feel anything special! You cannot even make a single phone so stop complaining.
If you care about upgrading and money is always a factor then a case and screen protector is a must, I did not upgrade from my 12 pro max until this iPhone 15 pro max persuaded me, love my 12 pro max but the zoom on video was annoying that you had to stop recording to zoom in more then start again and same if zooming out, finally no longer as often take stills form it, 120hz is very noticeable smoother and been using tiny 2 tb thumb drive for log video and photos and quality is good when using on M2 pro , not camera quality but the convenience of the iPhone to take from pocket to shooting is so quick, and if people want better images then go for a used older camera as can save a fortune, I was very dubious about this phone given the money but I’m super happy with it now I have it and should get £400 plus back for selling old iPhone to lesson the expense, glad you also like yours 😎😎🤩🤩
I got the 1TB option. I am a stills photographer and when travelling, I used to lug a laptop around for editing and image backup. However, I recently went on a 5 week trip and took only my camera and the 15 Pro Max. I copied my work to the phone as backup and then edited in Lightroom Mobile.
I’d love to get those glasses that projects a screen in-front if you. Unfortunately, I live in Jamaica and most likely there’s no way to get it shipped here, but good thing I’m moving to the US soon.
@PatrickRambles 6:21 Good job on the video. Liked and Subscribed. I’m not much of a photographer geek yet but I’m getting there. Your content was good. Question - @ 6:20 you show how you create a make shift case with the SSD drive. I like the case you started with. What case is that? Thanks.
Hi Patric. Thank you for the video much appreciated. I have the pro max in titanium blue I like it a lot but I hate the front camera! What’s up with that? How can I fix it I just feel like my selfie on my 13 was so much better as on 15 pro max is dark grainy and over sharpened. Please give us a full video about the front camera and how to fix it with settings
Yes the camera and also the battery. I was disappointed with the battery on my 14 Pro and I travel a lot so a bigger battery is nice to have. The main reason for upgrading though is this channel. I would have held on to the 14 for another year if it wasn't for that.
I am wondering if the x3 main sensor crop on the pro max is similar to the x3 on the pro since you will be cropping 45/3 which by theory should be even better than the 12mb optical zoom
@@PatrickRambles I’ve been using since the iPhone 15 Pro was released. It looks perfectly fine. Intentionally destroying something doesn’t test longevity.
You cannot downplay the heating issues thighb it only lasted for a few days. In that limited time the battery might have taken a hit with the exposure to heat and over drain. It will however show in the coming months as premature degradation of battery health.
Did you turn off unnecessary background refreshes, etc ? I have a 13 pro max has just went from 100% to 98% after almost 3 years, but I turned off a lot of unnecessary background refreshes and I don’t play any games, I also turn it off when charging
I have just made a short cut menu from the action button and it’s awesome, silence mode, flash, camera and key people to call like wife and business partner. It’s transformed my view on the action button
I think from a 13 pro max the upgrades were lame. Lame enough to where I won’t upgrade until the 16 ultra where they get rid of the worst decision apple has ever made Dynamic Island and replace it with an under display Face ID and just have a punch hole camera
@@PatrickRambles that’s a steep compromise. I want to keep 4k60. I was looking forward to not having dongles for lightning adapter since it’s usb type c but now I need to have a whole ass hard drive plugged in. Common Apple! 😂🤣
If that was the case it would be 0 upgrades, Cant base it off your opinion, The chip thats in the 15, USB-C and other things wasnt't in the 14 so DEF not the same phone.
You’re one of the few reviewers that I came across that mentions they do not use the 5x lens. Is it because of the resolution in comparison to the main sensor? The framing? Looking back would you have considered the 15 PRO instead for portability and possibly the 3x framing?
I was using the 14 Pro because of that reason. However, the battery life was very poor. I'm super content with the battery life on the 15PM, so I'd probably stick with that. The bigger screen is nice too and since it's coat weather, there's plenty of pockets for it 😅
I have the exact same iPhone 15PM you do, color & storage, and I’m selling it. This phone is not for me and I’m missing my s23 ultra. I’ll never leave Samsung again.
Camera sucks on the new IPhone this year. Everyone’s been complaining and Apples updates are doing nothing to fix the issues. Apple just scammed everyone who bought it lol
