@@drishyarijal6877you’ll regret for not getting max … I bought 13 pro when it launched band since then I wanted a bigger screen … just for the bigger phone I’ll have to now buy 16 pro max … if I had buy 13 pro max then I would have never buy 16 max
I got a S24 Ultra after being on iPhone for 11 years and had to return it, the UI on Samsung is terrible, you can’t even do dark mode on TikTok and the post processing ruined all of my high megapixel photos. I have a iPhone 15 Pro Max on its way I can’t wait 😁
No dark mode on tiktok isn't Samsung's fault. I emailed them about this weeks ago and said they're "actively expanding its availability to include all users in the near future". In short, tiktok themselves are the ones responsible for not making the feature more widespread
I upgraded 4 months ago from a 3-year-old iPhone 12 128gb white to a iPhone 15 Pro 256Gb natural titanium and it’s amazing and better in every way, the 120 hz is absolutely incredible and i didn’t want the max version, knowing i would sacrifice the battery which is not the best but not bad either
Sure if you have small soft hands and like small phones. 😂 Sorry couldn’t help myself! I have to run the max for the battery. I use my phone quite a bit for work and need the extra battery.
I have 15 Pro, and I want to get 15 Pro Max because of big size. My hands are cramped holding the pro. I’m torn between waiting for the 16 PM and getting the 15 PM now!
@ 13:51 tells the story right there; You used the 15 PM much more, and battery life VS cycles is twice as much as the 15 Pro, but it is actually better, considering the user experience, and screen size, and the remaining capacity!
I took the plunge a week ago upgrading to the 15 Pro Max from the 14, and I am very happy I did. I know the 16 will have a couple of incremental updates but I think the 15 Pro Max is perfect for me as it is, with more than enough capabilities and battery for my usage over the longer term. I would advise people to wait for the 16 range to come out, but for me specifically the 15 Pro Max is perfect.
GOD Bless ya Nick Ackerman! It’s Reviews like these that help someone like me that is torn betwixt the PRO and Pro Max. I got a cheap OtterBox case for the Pro Max on clearance, to try it out for size, to see how it fit my hand, and fit in the Cell Phone pockets of my Dickies pans, and Wrangler shorts, etc. I’m 6’-3” or so and wear large/ Extra Large gloves, so the extra sze shouldn’t be an issue. I do like the portability of the regular Pro, but the extra battery capacity and 5X zoom, almost seals the deal. I think I will be exchanging the 15 Pro, for the PM, before my 15 Day exchange period is up. ( I have not been blown away by the battery life of the 15 Pro, but it is not terrible either. ). Take care! 👍
Is the split screen feature something they can simply add to the software or is it something to be built into the phone. In other words are the 15 capable to have split screen or is it something that will have to wait for newer phones now?
Hey Nick I love your channel. I was wondering what your personal SIM card is in - what’s your daily driver ? If you could only have one iPhone or Samsung which would you pick ?
@ 11:27. It is my understanding that there can be ‘sort of’ a split screen effect in certain cases? I saw it in some video, but don't remember what it was. Might check into it? 😊👍
I own 14 pro and i love the compact size so my phone xt upgrade will be either 16 pro or 17 pro. I dnt need big battery. I just need all max camera specs on pro
I have a 15 pro from February 2024 up until now and I am at 230 cycles with a 95% battery health and my battery life is just awful loosing about 10 to 11% an hour
I had the 12 pro max for 2 years then got the 15 Pro. I love the portability & fits better in my hands. I still use my 12PM for watching videos & games. Trading it in for a 16PM.
Hi, i recently got an iphone 15 and it already has burned in the battery icon and wifi one, is it common or should i try to get it fixed with apple care?
The naming is now flawed. They called it 15 pro "max" and the max stands for bigger phone and nothing else but this year the max has not only bigger display but 5x telephoto sensor that the pro does not have so technically its not a bigger 15 pro anymore unlike all the other iPhones before this. 15 pro should've also had 5x telephoto not the 3x one. The NAMING IS FLAWED.
I've been happily using a Galaxy S22+ for the last two years until recently where I've gotten a few green and pink lines over it. I've been an Android guy for years but I'd like to upgrade to a 15 Pro and be done with buying new sets for a couple of years. I know iPhone have great longevity compared to Androids I'm also interested in the recent updates on emulation on iOS. I like emulating PS2, Wii, PSP games on my Android. Emulation is a bit behind on iOS but I'd like to see it get better.
Interessantes Video. Also ich bin mit meinem schwarzen 15 Pro Max zufrieden. Aber wegen der Kamera Hardware, da muss Apple was tun! Die Video Qualität ist großartig, die wurde erheblich verbessert gegenüber dem 14 Pro Max, vor allem ProRes 4K 60 FPS sieht toll aus, aber die Datenmenge ist zu gewaltig. Daher wären 4K 120 FPS besser. Ansonsten punktet das 15 Pro Max bei Videos mit Fünffach Zoom und dem Lautsprecher sowie der Schnelligkeit. Leider neigt der Prozessor A17 Pro zu Überhitzung.
sadly my 15 pro max battery health is draining very bad. reach work place around 10 am at 80% ( battery lock ). only look at it couple of times. 4pm, it left 30%. And im not even a phone gamer. This November it should be full 1 year already. The health now is 96%. Compare to my friend who got the 15 pro max way more earlier than me and game all day, his one still 100%. lol
Does anyone here owning the 15 pro suffer with microlags or stutters while scrolling instagram or any other app ? Also how is the battery life and heating issues ?
@@Dr.KenzoTenma haven’t had that problem at all, try hard reset and uninstalling and installing. The battery has been insane!! At the end of a heavy day i have 30%.
16series comes out in a month. Verizon is offering me a free 15 pro (5$/mo for 15 pro max) if I trade in my 13 pro max. Should I do it or pay more and get 16 pro
Funny that you mentioned an Ultra model, word has it for the 17 lineup, they’re doing away with the plus & replacing it with a taller,slimmer & thinner Ultra model. You’ll have the 17, 17Pro, 17ProMax, & the 17 Ultra. Interesting.😊
How are you at 94 cycles ?? And on Beta and have 99% life. Me on the other hand was 75 on 99% and after updating to 18 beta 3, my phone heated up and life went down to 98% at 88 cycles
Um…either you have a faulty battery or you’re charging it wrong. I’m at 103 cycles and 100% life. You shouldn’t let it charge above 80 ideally, and shouldn’t let it dip below 20%

Pretty much same story on my end as well ✌️😂

From 11 pro ( 2019 ), now 15 pro. Next upgrade will be 19 Pro
go for 20 because in Iphone 20 I think there will be some new innovation like Iphone X (full screen display).
wait for 20.
They skipped iPhone 9, so idk about 19💀
I remember how I really waited for iPhone 9 cuz it is my fav digit, but X came and I was like: wtf?

If they keep making these phones any larger, you’ll need a bag to carry it around in.😂

Nah you just have small hands and you might need a bag.
You'll be fine 😂

Went from a 12 to a 15PM, been a great upgrade for me so far. Had it since launch
I’m more interested in the 17 lineup as opposed to the 16 lineup. I currently have a 15 ProMax & I can’t really justify getting the 16 ProMax.😊
So do you think is worth to wait 2 months or get cheaper 15 pro max ?
it’ll be even cheaper in 2 months
I upgraded from the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 15 in black/gray with 1 terabyte space.
What theme is your iPhone? I really like the dark icon layout.

Hi, i recently got an iphone 15 and it already has burned in the battery icon and wifi one, is it common or should i try to get it fixed with apple care?
The extra $200 scores better camera, bigger battery and double the storage plus a bigger screen. That is a decent list of items for $200.
iPhone 15 Pro & 16 Pro next. Plus the 16 Pros are getting a tad larger and heavier yet again.
It’s worth the extra money for the larger battery. 1,000 + mah difference.😊
Get 15 Pro now or wait for 16 Pro?
Definitely wait at this point
Have them both as well and love them ❤
