Learn iPhone & Android Filmmaking In just 14 Days 🎥 www.contentcreator.com/14-day-filmmaker-smartphone-edition?sl=yt-organic-iphone-15

This was a great video to wake to this morning. I’ve been waiting to upgrade from the 13promax. You nailed it Anthony. People if you haven’t bought or taken the 14day filmmaker course. Do it now!

Thank you Anthony. This is a well thought out video and you've made me realise I'll be happy with the 14 Pro, so now I don't have to wait for the 15 to be released here. I really enjoyed the 14 Day Filmmaker course and I trust your opinion, thank you for making the decision an easy one.

great job Anthony! Thanks for all the info. 👊

Thanks for another great video, Anthony! I continue to be so impressed with your courses and the content you put out.

I've watched some videos recently from professional photographers, and they're calling this 7 lens marketing gimmick nonsense. It's just cropping, plain, and simple. It's cropping with a setting 😅 I'm sticking with the 14 pro for a while. I'm not feeling this upgrade.

Thanks Anthony! Always head to your channel for new product/upgrade recommendations. And this exactly why. Cheers guys

Upgrading from the 12pm, it’s still a fantastic phone, but it has two major shortcomings i hope the 15pm fixes. The first being the 12pm extreme screen dimming when in hot environments making it impossible to see it when outdoors in the summer. The second being the constraint and image quality differences between the ultra wide camera and the other two. Plus I am so happy a pacific blue like colour is back.

Tired of people saying that the 48MP sensor on the 15 is the same as the 14 Pro. It is not. Not sure where everyone is hearing this. The 15 Pro has the same 48MP sensor as the 14 Pro. The 15's sensor is smaller in size.

Thanks for your amazing content mate, always very helpful 😊

Thank you for another great video, Anthony! I'm also really enjoying your 14 day course. Your genuine delivery makes you my favorite person to go to for content creation info. Keep up the fantastic work!!

Thank you! Appreciate the breakdown and the differences. Was debating on whether to jump on this one, think I will.

Thank you very helpful. I have a 13 and probably will wait.

There has never been a more exciting time to be a filmmaker and content creator. Even with all of the advancements in film technology and the number of new content creators of tomorrow, storytelling will remain king.

Love your presentation. Thank you.

Great breakdown of the new iPhone 15. Thank you!

I like the video so much.. direct to the point.. clear.. thank you very much

As always an amazingly informative video Anthony...not to mention super timely delivery ! This has really helped me make up my mind to upgrade to the 15 Pro Max at launch this Friday :) Thanks!

Superb Anthony. Great insights.

Yes!!!! This is Huge Content Creator is Life changing.

Thank you! This is truly helpful. We're just getting ready to do an upgrade.

Thanks Anthony! Great Info!

Apple always gives you an illusion that the new iPhone will help you make great professional photos or videos, but in real scenario no one would ever use iPhone for a professional commercial.

Great video mate, your content is the best out there and your courses never cease to amaze me... Keep it up

😍 love it!

great review!

Anthony is a great mentor along side Paul. Watched more that 5 videos about the knew gadget and was waiting for this video. Thank you for the great video.

Thanks for the input. I will be moving from a 12 pro max to a 15 pro, I think. I used the 12 last week at a wedding I shot for some last minute content and it convinced me to start using my phone more for video....now I have to learn editing and so upgrading seems like a no brainer.

Love the video. I have subscribed. All the best

A lot of thanks

Awesome vid. Super helpful and As clear as the iPhone lenses :)

As usual … great video 💪💪💪

nice for video cinematic

Great video!!

Hi ! Pretty informative and motivative !

Always love to watch your videos brother because I learn something from you assaali from Kenya Mombasa Africa

I bought 14 day about two years ago, it’s been a great blessing in getting started in the camera/video space.

Thank you ❤

What are your thoughts on the pro max when zoomed between 3x to 4.9x? Will it be lower quality than the pro?

Thank you for this video. I'm still using my iPhone 11 and want to upgrade, but not sure if i should wait for 15 Pro or go with 14 Pro. I used to film all my content on my phone but recently got a Sony camera (zv-e10 with extra nice 16mm 1.4f lens).

After watching this I feel more confident waiting with my 13. Thanks!

Why do content creators on RU-vid now consistently employ the camera angle from the side while the speaker is still facing forward technique? It’s really distracting, and makes the presentation feel gimmicky and less authentic. I understand wanting to look polished and perhaps breaking up the direct eye contact a bit, but there are better methods.

Upgrading from an iPhone 8 Plus Red Edition to the 15 Pro Max Black Titanium. This is about to be a huge upgrade for me!! I'm still rocking the home button until next Friday, it was finally time.

Thanks Anthony, I have XS Max so I plan to upgrade to 15 Pro Max mainly because it’s time, would love to have access to better lens and camera and Also because I love that I don’t need to get 512 gig or higher phone, I can instead do 256 gig and rely on the direct record to external Hard drive via usb c cable feature. I also think some of the changes we’re seeing may have something to do with some of the relationships apple has with developers like the makers of DaVinci resolve and the like (I.e. color advancement standards and giving us more detail in shots to work with during post work) knowing content creators are wanting to do more with their devices. At this rate I kinda feel by the time we get to iPhone 18 and above apple might even impact sales for camera’s with crop sensors. We’ll see smartphones …. __… and then mirrorless cameras with full size sensors and little to no smaller number of non smartphone cameras with crop sensors being sold as a result. Time will tell though 🤔🤷🏾…😊.

The new stabilization & camera for the Pro Max is enough for me to upgrade. Thanks! What external hard drive do you recommend for shooting video with a gimbal?

I am iPhone 12 pro user right now. I was very excited about new 15 pro series, but this time apple has shown us only development rather than innovation as it was doing before. But I think the camera changes are enough to upgrade to 15 pro max from my current phone. Thanks you for the video, it was extremely useful❤

Your microphone is too good 👍🏻 ❤

What is the brand name of the external drive for iPhones you mentioned? Can you share this setup details? Thanks 😊

I'm not big on waste or having the latest gadgets. Whether it be my car, clothes, camera gear and phone I tend to replace it only after I run it into the ground. However, with the release of 15 Pro Max being far more of a capable tool, now I'm seriously considering an upgrade.

Thank you Anthony. May i know, if we still rely on main camera but add-on external lens (widelens , long macro, telephoto lens), is it there is no different between iphone 14 pro max and iphone 15 pro max? Since camera phone zoom may cause reduce resolution or quality, is it better just add-on external lens for main lens?

Agree with you. I'll be getting the Pro Max.

Agreed. Preordered 15 Pro Max. Can’t wait! (Upgrading from 13 Pro)

Thanks for this, it confirms that I should be very happy with the 15 Pro Max I ordered. The extra zoom, low light pics, and USBC were my tie breakers. It looks like it will be an even more massive upgrade from my Gen 1 SE (that I've got 6 years out of but is now dying) than I had appreciated. I've watched a few of your videos now to understand how best to use this. Hopefully I can make it last as long to justify the price (not being in the pool on my yacht ;) ).

I’m so excited to get the Pro Max! I have the 13 and use my phone for creating content in restaurants so that low light for me is 😍😍😍. Thanks as always for dropping knowledge on all of us✌️

Hi Anthony I’m actually using an 11 pro max, so I’m absolutely going to be upgrading to the 15 Pro Max. Great video and great course 💯😊

0:52 this is an error. The regular models get a 48 MP sensor but it is not the same as the pros from last year. It’s a smaller sensor size with a wider aperture 4:00 you can simply swipe left from the Lock Screen to get to your camera faster on the iPhone

Good one

120 is a digital crop and works out at f22! Watch Tony and Chelsea.

nice video... with the new released Blackmagic Camera App for the Iphone I think the iphone 15max is going to be a winner update for sure....

Hi Anthony and Paul! I purchased your 30 Day Course Creator program (30DCC) and just want to say thank you. I'm 70% through the program and I'm totally impressed. You guys really know your stuff and cover every aspect required to succeed. Cheers from Canada!

Can we still plug a microphone into the phone while having the SSD for recording?

I'm thinking of upgrading my trusty old iPhone 8 Plus... I have previously thought that spending over £500 on a smartphone is crazy (I got my 8 Plus pre-owned), but the iPhone 15 Pro Max seems like a seriously impressive piece of technology across the board, even at over double what I would've been prepared to spend in 2019. Being able to buy it with 3 years interest-free PayPal Credit from my usual tech retailer sweetens the deal somewhat :)

Try a De-Esser on your audio. High "S" are very sharp

Yay!!! Going to upgrade my 12 pro max hehe

I currently have iPhone SS (2nd generation), is it worth upgrading to the iPhone 15 when I don’t have the budget Pro model?

I have a 13 PM and I’ve been debating whether I should upgrade to the 15 PM. I do a lot of wildlife photography but I use a DSLR with telephoto lens for that. I use my iPhone for landscape photography and videos and I like creating reels for Instagram and videos for RU-vid. My 13 PM only has 128GB and thats just not enough storage especially when I’m cruising and am unable to transfer videos and photos while I’m at sea. So I’m thinking of upgrading for the telephoto lens and the increased storage 256 GB

How did EVERY single RU-vidr get this wrong? They said it clearly: Bigger main sensor COMPARED to the 15 models. The camera hardware on the 15 Pro didn’t change at all this year. This your job guys. Maybe pay more attention so that you don’t mislead people.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max… last year was the first I hadn’t upgraded my iPhone since the iPhone 8. Not sure if I should upgrade. I want the 5x zoom and USB-C but next year will be the 5 year design refresh so not sure yet. Price for 2x extra and a port that makes me carry one less cord around isn’t a deal breaker. Might just wait. Still debating with myself lol. I’m sure many are as well.

is the 3d stabilisation and in general the sensor of the 15 pro and 15 pro max the samw?

Until the day I finish Filmmaker course and iPhone Photography Courses, I am fine with my 14 Pro. But in case I finish the courses and start making a good portfolio of shots/videos (also enjoy what I am doing), then I may consider having an upgrade to 15 Pro Max. So basically I would like go through the path of becoming pro to invest more cash for an upgrade. That was a great review, thanks Anthony!

Thanks for all the info, Anthony. It's been very helpful. When filming a travel vlog with an Iphone (for RU-vid)... what are your thoughts on using H.265 combined with rec.709 vs using Apple Log? Is there really a difference in quality on RU-vid, if I'm only making minor color corrections? How important is it to use Apple Log?

I need your advice before I place my 15 order. Please...

Portrait mode also works with objects if you click on to focus before taking the picture.

What happens between the standard focal length and the 120mm lens in terms of quality?

I think it's definitely worth upgrade.

Thank u for taking this important topic and I have a question. After most music venues and festivals stopped allowing people in even with point and shoot looking cameras like Sony rx100 I noticed that everyone at raves has now a Samsung phone because it is the next best option. Myself using iPhone 13 Pro added a Samsung s22 ultra just so I could take it to concerts and take photos with that 10x camera. I did find Samsung ultra photo quality overall better than my iPhone 13 Pro. But I had to carry two phones to every event. And as you hit the nail on the head, the 10x lens on Samsung is f4.9. Which means if I want to freeze a guitar player on stage I need at least 1/125 shutter speed or better so you are immediately in iso 3200 territory on such a tiny sensor. The photo degradation even if shooting raw and using topaz is too much. So I got really excited when I saw the 120mm f2.8 on the new iPhone. Can this new iPhone replace both my 13 pro and Samsung s22 ultra? How sharp is that 120mm f2.8 lens wide open? What is the sensor size difference between Samsung tele camera and this 120mm iPhone camera? F2.8 would allow me to keep the iso down somewhat in a typical concert scenario. I wish it was longer than 120mm but I don’t know if they could have kept It at 2.8 then

Shout out from the Philippines.

What hard drive do you have attached to the phone during recording in that bit of the video? How are clipping that HD to the phone clip?

hi Bro…I so much love and appreciate your content and the depth of quality, attention and detailing you put into your work. Please can you do this for the new Samsung S24 Ultra ? I currently have 13Pro max 1Tb and wondering if i should go for 15pro max 1TB or the S24 Ultra 1Tb?

You normally don’t suggest zooming in on video. But this time you do. Isn’t it still better not zooming in and zoom in while editing? Or am I missing something

You're totally right-no update to cinematic mode this year. I didn't hear anything about it either.

Great and super honest review! I'll wait a couple of months to see the image coming out of the the new Iphone before I decide ! :). Quick question: I tried to get into the Iphone filmmaking course within '14 day filmmaker" which I bought a few months ago... According to Paul it is all included... but for some reason when I open my course, (14 day filmmaker), can't see it in the curriculum... any suggestions? thanks!

Only review I need ;)

Can you use an external mic, external SSD and charging function with split cable? that would be interesting. if not everything seem to be useless

Yea I’m looking forward to getting out of my iPhone X

You’re the only RU-vidr that pointed out at the missing of 4k/60 in cinematic mode. It was the only thing I wanted to see this this year and it pretty much ruined the whole iPhone15 for me that it’s not here. Don’t know if I upgrade this year (maybe only because of the bad battery of the iPhone 14). The 5x is not enough for me to upgrade and I couldn’t care less about cropped in photos that I can already do now with my iPhone 14pro max

I hope there will be a way to use an external mic while simultaneously recording to a portable SSD

I want a final angle in my multi cam video podcast studio plus something for outdoor pieces to camera and am torn between upgrading to the 15 pro max from the 12 pro max or getting the Sony A7CII to match with my other Sony cameras. Any thoughts?

How can you review the iPhone q5 when you don’t have one

Have a 12Pro. On the fence whether to upgrade to a 15Pro.

smart hdr is not a new feature. is actually the 5th generation

I wished you created content related new iPhone camera and voila you did. Thank you. I am a programmer and I bought your 14 days filmmaker and want to get my boots on this filmmaking ground. Just because of camera I am switching to iPhone. Can you please confirm that insta360 flow gimbal will be able to handle new pro max? Or do you advice Ronin gimbal, or just waiting for a while gimbals also to upgrade?

What about the spatial video announcement? Interesting or not?

Brilliant

giving up 77mm, a far more common portrait length, is a con of the Max no one talks about.

Have you had some time with the 15 pro max yet? Whats gonna be better for video in your opinion? S23u or 15pm?

Is the "seamless zoom" available on the base model 15s too?

Which one is you recommend S24 or 15 pro maxx for filmmaking travel vlogging and cinematography or canon Eos 8 this question also from you guys you have a great experience because viewers was so experienced pls give answer

I did upgrade from my old 7+ to the 15ProMax 1TB. Expensive? Yes! But I need a edc camera to match my other gear... so with prores AND blackmagic app on that action button... it's more than worth. Even indoor, I now get such a decent quality footage.... that looks BETTER in every respect to DR and fidelity than the first and second version of Arri D21 and Alexa 15 and 12 years ago. With that 24mm(26mm) lens and sensor, I just use that as a second angle camera in daily bread 'n butter tripod locked interview shots(yeah switch the stab OFF). For outdoor cityscapes I use the Pan's snap filter with -2 to -8 stop nd. I can see the log-footage blend well with todays alexa mini systems. The 13mm wide can be used as well IF THERE IS ENOUGH LIGHT. The long 120mm tele works resolution-wise best with locked iPhone on a proper stand and switched off stab. My personal conclusion... this promax is not everyones beer. But if you know the limitations and you lit up your scene... it look not tobshabby at all. Greenscreen with the normal lens is close to big rigs. Just take care of the flares... it will not disappoint even my gaffer

Isn't it so that on the Pro Max there will be a "quality gap" in the zoom range beween 3x and 4.9x because the picture will be cropped from the main sensor and the resulting picture will be of sub-12mpix resolution? I am leaning towards the Pro Max but I am afraid that this zoom range that is prettry useful on day to day basis may be of inferior quality. I'd love to have 5x zoom but also want to have a good quality 3x.
