I kinda wish Apple would just release phones every 3 years or so instead of pumping something out that is just similar to the previous model, so then it seems more revolutionary and much more exciting when it comes out. Like game consoles, ex Nintendo Wii U to Nintendo switch-completely changed the game and how we play
Everyone says that but as someone who’s worked in the phone industry for 15 years…. No one even comes close to getting people to upgrade their phones like a new iPhone. They print money.
This years iPhones are generally for the people who got the 12 series and lower. People just need to show some self control and realise, this years phone might not be for them.
I think people need to remember that just because you got the iPhone 14 it doesn’t mean that we all did. I have an iPhone 11, so the 15 would be a great upgrade. I plan to get the 15 in pink. Honestly, I’d rather trade my phone into Apple, even for $200 less, just to not have to pay eBay fees, pay shipping, and deal with scammers.
I’m a 5 yearer. Had the 5 then the XR and now the 15. Each one has been significantly better for me personally. Usbc is crucial to minimize my gear for filmmaking as everything I own uses that charging ecosystem.
We're in similar territory! I'll be upgrading from the iPhone 8 Plus Red Edition to the 15 Pro Max Black Titanium 1TB (went allll out) and it will be a major upgrade that I fully intend on it taking me through iPhone 20 at least.
Me too I still really like my xr I don’t even really wanna upgrade deep down but the battery life, usb c and 48mega pixel camera sold me looks like I have to wait till November to receive it tho which sucks but I like my current iPhone so I can live with it
I recently (almost 3 years by now) went from iPhone 6 to iPhone 12 Pro after 5 and half years, that was a huge upgrade. The more I look into these phones the more I don’t feel the need to change. I like enough my 12 Pro, there is no real reason to change nowadays. I’m gonna think again when batteries will last a little longer (like 12-14h of screen on time while mine is only 8h)
@@wheredaboof6492The guy said he just bought an iPhone 12 pro. So a new battery would do nothing. The 12 pro has an alright battery, just no where near 12-14 hours.
I have a 12 pro as well, and december 2022 I got the battery replaced at apple. I think $70 or so and it took them, no joke, an hour and a half. I just wandered around the mall until the time they said I should drop back in. The phone was flawless otherwise, and now it's great. I'm probably still upgrading because this is the only lightning cable item, and I'm tired of losing them. Everything comes with USB-C now so I have 20 cables.
I went from iPhone 4 to a 6 Plus, due to slow downs and storage. Then the 6 plus to a 12 Pro Max due to nothing works lol. So far my 12 Pro max is awesome and no issues! So what I’m really saying is that, there is no need to upgrade if it still works, just use it until it craps out! 😂
Well said. My 11 crapped out by dropping it in a river. Face id is dead. Had to replace battery with 3rd party and it sucks. Had to replace the screen with 3rd party one and now I see tiny horizontal lines if I see close enough. It still works but it’s such a pain in a butt. On the other hand we use phones so much every day that even small improvements make a difference.
I am pretty sure (as long as you change the battery every 3 or 4 years), that the iPhone 12 Pro has enough power to last another decade.. The processor is so fast that everything is butter smooth, what else will they implement that needs even more power? Games but most dont care about those. I am still considering upgrading to 15 Pro from 12 Pro, but it feels so useless (eventho I love what Apple did with 13, 14 and 15!!)
That's not how life works these days. Lol... I'd blame maturity and the young ones, but my governments been living off the opposite of this quote for the last 50 years 😅
@@NikeZay2not unless you're doing trade ins via carriers in which case you get 0% interest and can pay with low monthly payments. If you're keeping your phone for longer than the payment plan it's not a bad deal at all
I went from the 10 to the 15 Pro simply for longevity & futureproofing sake. Bought it outright. USB-C is the standard, plus the 3nm CPU & 120hz display will keep the phone feeling snappy for years to come. Plan on keeping this thing until 2029. I have been rocking the iPhone 10 since early 2019. I usually buy iPhone 2 years after release so I get the biggest depreciation discount. About 6 years into a iPhone's lifespan I upgrade because of lack of software updates, I am usually out of storage, and its tends to be rather slow by then. I haven't bought an brand new iPhone on release since the iPhone 4, I expect good things from the 15 Pro.
I understand your message about payment plans - don’t buy something you can’t afford. However, if you can afford it outright, it still makes more sense financially to buy through the payment plan. Just put the money into a savings account over the 24 months and it works out cheaper than purchasing outright.
Incorrect. If you go look at the finer details of the installment plan you see this --> "19.24% to 29.49% when you open your account, based on your creditworthiness and other factors" that means you will accrue about %20 percent interest year over year so your $999 purchase might end up costing about $1,397 I bet you didn't see that one coming. It's the price you pay for convenience. It's better to just buy it out right, someone has to make money in that loan transaction and you're the one paying it.
@@supernova4760 I’m not sure which country you’re in but in my country (UK) the apple finance plan is a 0% interest rate. In any case, if the interest rate for a savings account is greater than the finance plan then you should do the finance plan.
@@supernova4760that’s if you don’t pay for the phone in the payment period; Samsung has the same deal too lol. Seeing as most people will just pay the payment suggested they should be fine and only pay the price as posted. So $999 is $999
I know I’ll be needing an upgrade, been using 12 Pro for a good amount of years but if 15/15+ is just 14 Pro/Max with a USB-C, I’ll just opt for its Pro version.
@@Kingcommaalex not really... I got my 14 Pro, almost 5 months ago, and I'm still at 100% Battery Health Capacity, and mine is used for multiple hours a day
I went from the original iPhone to iPhone 4 to iPhone 7 to iPhone X (I had a glitchy IPhone X that was heating up so I switched over to the XR) and I’ve been with the XR since 2019. Long overdue for an upgrade… I’m 100% sure that I will notice the difference between an XR and an iPhone 15 (regular one)
I had the XR since it came out too. My XR just gave up on me…it had bad screen bleeding now it turned completely black today even though it’s on. Bummer because I don’t upgrade unless I need to. I’m looking at the 14 plus and 15 plus right now 🤔
@@Etienne- I can keep going on my XR but... I can see the performance issues now... sometimes when I'm commenting on UA-cam - words/letters I'm typing is severely lagging.

iPhone 1 to iPhone 8 Plus to maybe iPhone 15 Pro? I hate upgrading as you can tell, I still use my iPhone 1 from time to time, best one they ever made imo.
Omds No way same I’m going to get a 15 but I’m not sure if the pro is good or the original could u let me know how ur experience with ur new iPhone 15 ?
@@rimshakhalid787 I got the pro simply because of the additional camera features that it offers. I love my new phone, I’ve had zero issues with it so far, the photos I take on it now are amazing. however I’ve noticed if I’m outdoors in hot weather and I begin taking a lot of photos, the phone will overheat and it will give you warning saying that the phone is too hot and needs to stop. But that happens on rare occasions. It’s lightweight and tough, I’ve dropped it a ton, banged it against stuff, works totally fine. Go for it
The pay monthly option isnt always horrible. Verizon was having a sale and i upgraded my Iphone XR i got for $5 a month from a previous sale for 24 months to a 14 pro max 256gb for $23 a month for 24 months a few weeks after release so i only have 13 months left. So a $1,200 phone for just over $500 it was a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Just wait for the sales from the carriers and skip the upgrade every other year and you're golden.
I'm from the UK and for the iPhone 15 Pro Max is £1199 and over two years from Apple is £49 per month with no interest. I've gone with that option this year and then just buy a 24 month sim with unlimited data. Phone companies are charging about £95 per month for that when I'll be paying around £70 mark.
Verizon only has sales for specific plans. I have a super old plan with a great rate that I don't want to move away from and as a result they punish old customers.
@@learningtofly-I went with ID mobile got the iPhone 15 pro for £44 a month, unlimited minutes, unlimited text unlimited calls. I think America is different to the UK. I know most people in the UK get their phones on a contract with the data included as you save more money in the long run but in America they just buy them upfront.
I’ve had the 12 pro max with 128gb for the last couple of years and I’ve loved it…. A lot !! to me this is a nice upgrade from what I have, definitely excited to do some gaming on the 15 pro max. If you have the 14 pro max, just save yourself the money… and wait for the 16 lol
I’ve had the 12 pro max 256gb since it’s release and decided to go with just the 15 pro this time. I am sacrificing some screen and a more advanced camera for the convenience of fully operating my phone with one hand.
The reason I switched to Apple is that it introduced the mini version which I love so much. Until Apple doesn't release another mini I'm holding to my iPhone 13 mini as long as it's possible. I really do hope that in a year or two the mini lineup will come back to us even if it didn't sell as well as everyone hoped for. Despite that, there's still a big market for mini lovers like me. There's many people out there who need and want a small yet powerfull phone for various reasons...
With the Max having 256gb as base storage option, it's even tighter gap between the Pro and the Max models, since you can not really compare 128gb Pro with 256gb Max. As for me, I am probably going with the 128gb Pro since all the photos are in the cloud anyway and the 6.1' is way more comfortable than 6.7', while missing that added battery.
I’m always been an Apple fan and I’ve been watching this guy and I like how he end this video with all good and fair points about buying the new iPhone. “Don’t feel left out” 👌🏽
Yeah, and I'll have to be financially stable in every sense before purchasing the newer models. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly.
In a 2-3 year span, there are not many improvements that's why I upgrade every 5 years. 5s to XS now soon the 15 Pro Max. For 10 years I have had 64 GB, but now that the quality is so much better. I might go overboard and get the 1TB for content creation. Also, the monthly payments seem fine since it is 0% APR during the 24 or 36 months. If you are someone who can pay off the monthly installments sooner but doesn't have all the money now, I'd say do the monthly payments. Because who has $700-$1600 lying around for a phone. BUT MAKE SURE YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES ARE IN ORDER FIRST. Do not do the upgrade program.
If you don’t have $600-$1700 laying around.. you shouldn’t be buying a luxury phone. I will say, unboxing therapy is 100% wrong when he says not to finance at 0% APR. Any basic personal finance course will teach you money today is better than money tomorrow. So if you can finance at 0% APR instead of lumping down $1k, you should do it because you’ll make interest off of that $1k in the coming months instead of putting it all down on a phone.
I just traded in my old phone thru my cell provider, I went from an SE, to a 14, to a 15 pro and I'm fine with paying $99 or $199 every two or so years to have the latest from Apple.
@@LMAO2510I can afford the shit and it still doesn’t make sense at all to upgrade every single year with the same shit each year 😂😂if you out 3 and 2 together the only difference folks will notice is the damn color 😂😂
Seems many have a quarrel with incremental updates. Talk about carbon footprint. If 🍎 cared about the experience they wouldn’t put 20 year old port on the new release.
Exactly what you're recommending. Pro Max 256GB, Natural Titanium. Hope it won't sold out that soon. Will keep old physical SIM iPhone for backup - an iPhone 8 plus upgrader.
Paying monthly is 100% the way forward, 15 pro max £49 a month for 24 months 0% interest through Barclays, if you wanna upgrade a year in then just click trade in device and you can use your phones trade in value to clear the finance and start a fresh
@@deej628have you not been paying for the iphone since you could afford it? whether it be the 4s then 5 then 7, xs, 13 15. you’ve been paying for an iphone the whole time 😂
Honestly the biggest annoyance for me right now is also the AirPod Pro 2 will also have type C. I’m over having type c and lightning. So! Getting those also 😅
I’ve had the iPhone 4, 5, 6, 7, then 11, now I’m going to go for the 15 Pro. Spaced the upgrades out the last couple. Changed every 2yrs with the early models, as u had the S versions in between
I am not too crazy about titanium or the colors. Specially brushed titanium defiantly deal breaker. Also the improvements did not move me at all. Thank you for the honest review.
Going to upgrade from 13 promax to 15 promax. Love the camera upgrade. Very happy with usb c. Not too thrill on the color choices but I am going with white titanium.
Trying to figure out if I wanna go from 13 to 15 pro. The dynamic island, action button, and USB-C ports are great upgrades but other than that is it really worth it 🧐
I've been dragging my iPhone 8 along until now. this is the time for me to upgrade. I'm thinking 15 Pro, either natural titanium or blue titanium, and 256GB.
I've got an iPad Pro, so I really don't need the big screen, and I don't care much about the camera, so I don't see any need to go for the Max (aside from slightly longer battery life). I prefer the smaller form factor on my phone, so I'll stick with the Pro. Thanks for the input though. I like the extra perspectives.
Going from 12 pro to 15 pro max. My charging port broke a few months ago and I’ve wanted the bigger screen for a long time now. I felt like it was a good upgrade worth it

Not an iPhone user, but the 15 seems like the best overall deal by a long shot and a nice improvement over the 14, the pros are a waste of money, that being said it’s BS that it doesn’t have a 120 hertz refresh rate
@@OkiDingomy guy. I’m currently using an A12 Bionic in my XS with a new battery and I can tell you right away, unless you’re gonna be a heavy mobile gamer you won’t feel a difference in performance.
If you are shooting pro resolution and raw then you should be using the external drives to shoot onto, that is single handedly one of the best new features for the cameras for the iPhone and I felt more then comfortable getting the 256gb version, I don’t make content anyway at least not at the moment but I know if I was that’s how I would do it and keep those types of videos and pictures off of my internal iPhone storage
Something he didn’t mention about eBay, is that there are a huge load of charges when you list something, so it could be better to,just trade it in with Apple. The benefit of trading in your device is that Apple only wants the device. They don’t want the box or the charging cable, and if you’re trading in an iPad, you also keep the ac adapter. Last thing. If you trade in a device and pay in full, Apple will credit you with a gift card. They don’t credit you the difference on your card. If you trade in a device and pay it off monthly, then you’ll,get the difference credited immediately, and you’ll see that during the checkout process.
15 (non Pro) in black has been pre-ordered! Been on a 13 mini for just under 2 years, loved it for the most part, but the smaller battery hasn't held up, and I never got used to typing on the smaller keyboard.
financing with Apple is not a bad idea at all, If you plan on keeping a phone for multiple years then why not finance it at 0% APR for a year or two. plus with an apple card you get 3% cash back.
Apple (and the others) need to go to a 2-year update schedule. More impressive features, much more pent up demand to meet, and bring more meaningful software changes on a yearly basis.
Every company that sells products must please shareholders and have revenue increases every trimester.. without investing too much on R&D. Apple cares as much as it needs to make sells. I own a lot of Apple stuff that I like and use happily but it is still a company that cares about money more than praise. The praise they don’t get, they give them selves in every keynote 😂
@@dereck4187 of course, we can complain as much as we want but if we have a business, wether we want more or less profit, we still want it, or else the business dies 🤷♂️
If the interest rate of paying for a phone over 24 months is 0% (which it is), then it would technically be cheaper to do that than paying upfront because you could stick that money in a Savings account and collect interest over those 2 years. In fact, Apple got rid of that option for unlocked phones because carriers were missing out on money lol.
See the first sentence: If the interest rate of paying for a phone over 24 months is 0% (which it is), In addition to putting the money into a savings account the present value of money is also higher due to inflation so paying some of that later is better.
@@cheezuzwizardits 0% on apple’s website and 0% from most carriers as well. Not sure where you are seeing 7.99%? Maybe it’s that way in different countries?
1:54 Wow, that’s the first time I’ve heard that. It’s refreshing to hear, as more and more people move to monthly payment credit plans who are unaware of all the potential pitfalls. There’s young adults out here who are messing up their credit through missed payments on a stupid phone.
Im really stuck on the pro vs pro max debacle.. i have a cannon with a zoom lens thats obv great for photo/video but one of my primary reasons for upgrading to the latest iphone pro is because im lacking the ability to take reliable photo/video on the fly. I create social media content for both work and hobby so it seems like a no brainer but I much prefer the smaller sizd and the price of the max is just crazy 😭 On a side: didnt they showcase in the announcement that you can now record straight to an external drive? That will be a game changer
I’m pretty sure the transfer speed is insane ( with a high transfer speed cable ) , practically be recording thru drives for sure~ I’m waiting for testing videos about speeds etc!
@@Nichouchou I'd love to wait and be able to check it out in the stores, watch video reviews etc. But I'm worried about it selling out and not being available for a couple months.

I am getting the pro max just because its only $100 more for all the extra you get va pro at 256gb storage. I love the small form factor of the pro but battery size can be a hindrance because I’m a heavy user
I’ve used my iPhone 8 Plus for almost 6 years until now and I’m thinking to upgrade to iPhone 15 pro max soon I’m so excited it will be a huge upgrade !
the natural titanium is honestly growing on me, but I still can't decide if I like that or the blue titanium color more, I'd have to see them in person first
One update for the 15 Pro Max is a new LIDAR sensor that’s supposed to significantly reduce overheating. I use the LIDAR daily for work, so I’m going to have to update.
Anyone after the non-pro iPhone 15 should really look at whether there are good deals going on last years pro models in their area. Locally last years pros are seeing some discounts and they are close to the price of a 15. You lose USB-C if you go last years pro, but you get the same processor (should ensure the same support period long term), a better display (promotion, always on), an additional camera lens, the same 48mp lens, same digital island support and a steel frame versus titanium. The battery life according to Apple is also a bit better on last years pro versus this years base model. For some people USB C is a no brainer and last years pro won’t get a look in. In almost every other spec, the 14 Pro comes out equal or favourable to the 15 and could be a great buy if you can get one at a similar price due to discounts.
I'm not use to comment on UA-cam, but you made me do it by mentioning your truly and prudent opinion about how Apple (and this stands for Samsung and other brands) that charge more every year for the same thing and bring old stuff. We're reaching a break up point were the companies and people also (more on people side) need to have their feet on the group and stop with this unmeasured and non sense consuming behavior. I used to have Samsung S10 (which I've bought from my phone company at 600€) and had it for 2 years. It broke down and I was to see prices and it's ridiculous. At the end I've bought a 300€ phone and it's totally fine for my normal usage. I tend to be a photo person, but my current phone doesn't allow me to be it, so now I just take the regular photos and it's totally fine. I don't understand why people sell their soul during 24 month of payment's just to buy a phone that they use at most unless just to showing it of. Please be more honest with the products like you were in this video and have an educational behavior to remind all of us that these prices and the "innovation" are ridiculous
Different strokes for different folks mate. For most working people, it's a valuable tool. Email, web search, payment device, camera, organiser, entertainment, calendar, health, safety... maybe you aren't as busy or able to afford one.
Wow. Just watched this, and pretty happy with my preorder of the exact thing you’re getting. I almost maxed it out. Glad I saved a little by not doing that. It’s gonna be a monster improvement over this iPhone X that’s still trucking along. 😂
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl I almost paid $1700+ and then decided to not get as much storage and paid $1500. So I saved myself $200 by not buying the bigger one. I could’ve saved $1500 by sticking with an obsolete iPhone but it’s time to finally upgrade.
Same here bro I’m on the 11 too but I found out if you wait too long it ends up being more expensive because then you barley get trade in value and you end up buying a new phone full price
Yeah, I will go for the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro max 512gb and try to keep it 5-6 years this time, if I had an iPhone 11 Pro instead of my standard 11 with 64gb, I would have waited for the 16
I really appreciate your thought process! I'm also a DP, usually Canon, but these phones will definitely become a footage source. Hope their LOG codec will be friendly.
Great advice! I've thought of iPhone but own OnePlus 7Pro, still awesome! I have friends who've gone through 2 or more iPhones. I like the specs of the 15 proves talk is not cheap! I would go for the one you're ordering if I was going to buy. BUT I'm waiting for the next OnePlus to arrive!
Had to upgrade from my 6s plus to iPhone X back in 2018 when because of water damage and now 5 years later I think it’s time to change for the 15 pro max , my biggest reasons are battery life and having different focal lengths for the camera and type-c to match everything else I own , I do have my dslr and mirror less cameras but for those occasions that I’m not holding them in my hands at least I know I have a great chance of capturing the moment .
Because that means you technically won't own the phone for 2 years. Just like an automobile, if you can't afford to pay for something upfront, with cash, then you can't afford it.
if you're in the US it's probably 0% apr, so it doesn't matter to pay outright, or over 2 years, you're paying no interest either way. in Canada it's 7.99%. no thanks
I’m in for the iPhone 15 pro max 512gb (safe bet) and maybe go with the titanium color. Upgrading from iPhone 12 Pro so it’s a major upgrade for speed/memory/camera/battery/usbC
Im after the SOS feature, I conduct prison transports to hospitals or other facilities and always wondered if something will happen if we are in an area with no cell service, this will be a major upgrade for me
If the pro max has really good battery life, I may consider my first ever upgrade after only a year. Getting a 14 Pro was a mistake because of the limited battery life.
@@horaciolloret2006 well, sometimes I can squeak through a whole day without charging up but most times I have to make sure I bring a portable charger and or a wall plug and charging cable to make it through the day.

I might just keep on keepin on with this one until the battery life gets unmanageably short and then think about upgrading. I usually don’t upgrade for about 3 years because phones are so expensive now.
Considering changing from the xiaomi 10t pro to the 15 pro or pro max...

@@rboz-7815 yeah, i feel like especially the selfie cam in the 10t pro is terribly "zoomed in" and the colors are washed out.... the videos on the 10t pro are imo very high quality...
It’s great. If I didn’t buy a 256GB 14 Pro Max I might be bothered. Really the only thing that would affect my use is changing the cable. Camera and any other updates would likely be marginal but it’s kind of reassuring when they don’t reinvent the wheel because I don’t want the iPhone to be completely different in operation when I do get a new phone.
I purchased the 14 Pro Max last year upon release actually preordered it & my personal rule is a 3yr minimum meaning I buy a new phone every 3years however, I was curious on the differences & did a device comparison on apples website 14Pro max vs 15Pro max & It’s the same exact phone except for the usb type c . So with that being said the upgrade is optimal for people with a iPhone 12 & below!
iPhone 5 was my first iPhone. Had the 5s as well, but I kept that model until the 7. Only had that phone for about 2 years before I got the X. Which honestly, hated. Too heavy, 64gb base was terrible coming from my 128gb 7. I currently have a 12 mini and its probably my favorite out of them all at this point. I ordered the 15 pro so Im a little scared to go up in weight but we will see. Battery life and camera is becoming more and more relevant to me.
Please don’t listen to him about “buy it all in full” I’ve done phone sales for 10 years there’s nothing wrong with financing, there’s no interested or nothing & not all of us are 1% to buy these phones outright. Shop smart 🙌
Exactly. Don’t get at all why he said there’s a “reason” for the finance option. It’s literally 0% interest. Why blow $1k in a day when u can spend it over 24 months.
Ended up trading my 11 pro max in for the 15 pro max and paying approximately $950. I pre-ordered it but the delivery date was set for November 9th. So I cancelled my pre-order and showed up at the Apple Store in my city 90 minute before they opened. A lovely lady took me and the 10 or so people in lines names down and reserved a time for us to come pick up the phone we wanted. I came back a few hours later once the store was opened and walked out with my new phone. On top of the $950 i then bought a case and a new charging brick cause on my way home from the Apple Store earlier that morning, my charger and cable fell out of a hole in my drawstring bag. Overall it was an easy experience, and going from the 11 pro max to the 15 pro max was a substantial jump.
Had many iPhones, last phone was Samsung s21 ultra. Was a good experience for about 2+ years then decided to come back on iPhones again. Got the 14 pro plus and man don’t regret it at all.
Im on an 11 pro max 512, I think this is the year I finally upgrade tbh. I just prefer the feel of the rounded edges but I feel like the 11 pro max is lagging in features now.
Best way to buy one is to get the top range unlocked model and select to pay monthly if you can do so without interest, then use the over time payments to save up the money to pay off the phone early. I usually do mine within the first 6 months. Doing it this way makes it easier to afford and can help boost your credit score. Never do trade-ins. It’s never worth it. Gift it to your friends or relatives who have older model phones. This is especially helpful if they have a different brand phone because iPhones have better functionality communicating with other iPhones.
On a side note, I wouldn’t buy the titanium 15 at all. Titanium is not that great of a material. It just sounds cool, but stainless is much stronger and has a nicer, scratch resistant finish. The rounder edges on the 15 I don’t think look very nice either compared to the more sharp looking models from previous years. This may have just been done to help reinforce the titanium to make up for its lesser strength
for me i have the iphone 12 pro max pacific blue color. or i can wait for the iphone 16 pro max or the iphone 17 pro series. coming in 1 to 3 years and maybe a full screen/ display. and also thin bezels for the iphone series. is it worth it to upgrade to the iphone 15 series with usb-c ports cables. and a good gaming phone for a decent price.
I was going to get the 15 pro max because my charging port doesn’t work anymore but it’s so underwhelming I’m just going to keep mine. Wireless charging is fine just sucks having to take it everywhere.

I kinda wish Apple would just release phones every 3 years or so instead of pumping something out that is just similar to the previous model, so then it seems more revolutionary and much more exciting when it comes out. Like game consoles, ex Nintendo Wii U to Nintendo switch-completely changed the game and how we play
I wish too, but they need to make money:/

Everyone says that but as someone who’s worked in the phone industry for 15 years…. No one even comes close to getting people to upgrade their phones like a new iPhone.
They print money.
This years iPhones are generally for the people who got the 12 series and lower.
People just need to show some self control and realise, this years phone might not be for them.
It has usb type C not because Apple wanted to.
It has usb type C because they are being obligated by EU law to adapt to usb c.
Cable is included? 😅
@@adredy That it has at least haha. But just the cable and not the charging brick.
Ok great
And consumers win with this change. Regardless of its required or not, it’s been a long time coming.
You are so wrong, So that all there Laptops, Ipads,imac, Mac mini,all have usb-c. EU make them do that?
I think people need to remember that just because you got the iPhone 14 it doesn’t mean that we all did. I have an iPhone 11, so the 15 would be a great upgrade. I plan to get the 15 in pink.
Honestly, I’d rather trade my phone into Apple, even for $200 less, just to not have to pay eBay fees, pay shipping, and deal with scammers.
I’m a 5 yearer. Had the 5 then the XR and now the 15. Each one has been significantly better for me personally. Usbc is crucial to minimize my gear for filmmaking as everything I own uses that charging ecosystem.
We're in similar territory! I'll be upgrading from the iPhone 8 Plus Red Edition to the 15 Pro Max Black Titanium 1TB (went allll out) and it will be a major upgrade that I fully intend on it taking me through iPhone 20 at least.
5 yr jumps seem ideal for iPhones
Me too I still really like my xr I don’t even really wanna upgrade deep down but the battery life, usb c and 48mega pixel camera sold me looks like I have to wait till November to receive it tho which sucks but I like my current iPhone so I can live with it
I also do the 5 year rule ! I had an 5s, then the X and now I am looking to upgrade
How did the battery in the phones hold up?
I recently (almost 3 years by now) went from iPhone 6 to iPhone 12 Pro after 5 and half years, that was a huge upgrade. The more I look into these phones the more I don’t feel the need to change. I like enough my 12 Pro, there is no real reason to change nowadays. I’m gonna think again when batteries will last a little longer (like 12-14h of screen on time while mine is only 8h)
Replace your battery
@@wheredaboof6492The guy said he just bought an iPhone 12 pro. So a new battery would do nothing. The 12 pro has an alright battery, just no where near 12-14 hours.
I have a 12 pro as well, and december 2022 I got the battery replaced at apple. I think $70 or so and it took them, no joke, an hour and a half. I just wandered around the mall until the time they said I should drop back in.
The phone was flawless otherwise, and now it's great. I'm probably still upgrading because this is the only lightning cable item, and I'm tired of losing them. Everything comes with USB-C now so I have 20 cables.
I used my iPhone 7 for 9 years 🤷🏽♂️ until sadly it is not working because of update😢 I'm using Samsung a13😅
@@Mike-vh1ur9 years? Bro the iPhone 7 hasn’t even been out for 9 years. It released in 2016😂
I went from iPhone 4 to a 6 Plus, due to slow downs and storage. Then the 6 plus to a 12 Pro Max due to nothing works lol. So far my 12 Pro max is awesome and no issues! So what I’m really saying is that, there is no need to upgrade if it still works, just use it until it craps out! 😂
Facts!!
Well said. My 11 crapped out by dropping it in a river. Face id is dead. Had to replace battery with 3rd party and it sucks. Had to replace the screen with 3rd party one and now I see tiny horizontal lines if I see close enough. It still works but it’s such a pain in a butt.
On the other hand we use phones so much every day that even small improvements make a difference.
I am pretty sure (as long as you change the battery every 3 or 4 years), that the iPhone 12 Pro has enough power to last another decade.. The processor is so fast that everything is butter smooth, what else will they implement that needs even more power? Games but most dont care about those.
I am still considering upgrading to 15 Pro from 12 Pro, but it feels so useless (eventho I love what Apple did with 13, 14 and 15!!)
I’m learning that as I get older
My charging port barely works lol I’m nursing this 12 base model until this 15 pro max arrives

Facts my bread gonna be low after upgrading my phone
@@NikeZay2not unless you're doing trade ins via carriers in which case you get 0% interest and can pay with low monthly payments. If you're keeping your phone for longer than the payment plan it's not a bad deal at all
Well it depends on your credit
I went from the 10 to the 15 Pro simply for longevity & futureproofing sake. Bought it outright. USB-C is the standard, plus the 3nm CPU & 120hz display will keep the phone feeling snappy for years to come. Plan on keeping this thing until 2029.
I have been rocking the iPhone 10 since early 2019. I usually buy iPhone 2 years after release so I get the biggest depreciation discount. About 6 years into a iPhone's lifespan I upgrade because of lack of software updates, I am usually out of storage, and its tends to be rather slow by then. I haven't bought an brand new iPhone on release since the iPhone 4, I expect good things from the 15 Pro.
11 to 15 probably my last ever device no more upgrades
I understand your message about payment plans - don’t buy something you can’t afford. However, if you can afford it outright, it still makes more sense financially to buy through the payment plan. Just put the money into a savings account over the 24 months and it works out cheaper than purchasing outright.
Incorrect. If you go look at the finer details of the installment plan you see this --> "19.24% to 29.49% when you open your account, based on your
creditworthiness and other factors" that means you will accrue about %20 percent interest year over year so your $999 purchase might end up costing about $1,397 I bet you didn't see that one coming. It's the price you pay for convenience. It's better to just buy it out right, someone has to make money in that loan transaction and you're the one paying it.
@@supernova4760 I’m not sure which country you’re in but in my country (UK) the apple finance plan is a 0% interest rate. In any case, if the interest rate for a savings account is greater than the finance plan then you should do the finance plan.
@@supernova4760that’s if you don’t pay for the phone in the payment period; Samsung has the same deal too lol. Seeing as most people will just pay the payment suggested they should be fine and only pay the price as posted. So $999 is $999
@supernova4760 so apple doesn't have 0% financing on phones like Samsung? That sucks
Apple does in fact have 0 financing.
I know I’ll be needing an upgrade, been using 12 Pro for a good amount of years but if 15/15+ is just 14 Pro/Max with a USB-C, I’ll just opt for its Pro version.
I've been using an 11 pro max for some years, you probably don't need an upgrade and I'll be keeping it
Same, on a 12 Pro. I want to upgrade but if you want to do Apple Card installments, they are now forcing you to go with one of the big carriers.
I highly recommend waiting for the next one if you can. The 16 will have fast-charging via USB-C and rumored NFC charging like the Samsung phones
Personally if I had an iPhone 12 I would not upgrade right now I would a year or 2 more

The pay monthly option isnt always horrible. Verizon was having a sale and i upgraded my Iphone XR i got for $5 a month from a previous sale for 24 months to a 14 pro max 256gb for $23 a month for 24 months a few weeks after release so i only have 13 months left. So a $1,200 phone for just over $500 it was a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Just wait for the sales from the carriers and skip the upgrade every other year and you're golden.
I'm from the UK and for the iPhone 15 Pro Max is £1199 and over two years from Apple is £49 per month with no interest. I've gone with that option this year and then just buy a 24 month sim with unlimited data. Phone companies are charging about £95 per month for that when I'll be paying around £70 mark.
Verizon only has sales for specific plans. I have a super old plan with a great rate that I don't want to move away from and as a result they punish old customers.

The reason I switched to Apple is that it introduced the mini version which I love so much. Until Apple doesn't release another mini I'm holding to my iPhone 13 mini as long as it's possible. I really do hope that in a year or two the mini lineup will come back to us even if it didn't sell as well as everyone hoped for. Despite that, there's still a big market for mini lovers like me. There's many people out there who need and want a small yet powerfull phone for various reasons...

I love my 13 mini, but apple may be releasing a se4 with USB-C and I think it will be a worthy mini successor

hopefully, but to be honest, i'm craving an android device again, and i found the best choice available is the Asus zefone9 or 10@@jw-dm6in
With the Max having 256gb as base storage option, it's even tighter gap between the Pro and the Max models, since you can not really compare 128gb Pro with 256gb Max.
As for me, I am probably going with the 128gb Pro since all the photos are in the cloud anyway and the 6.1' is way more comfortable than 6.7', while missing that added battery.
I’m always been an Apple fan and I’ve been watching this guy and I like how he end this video with all good and fair points about buying the new iPhone. “Don’t feel left out” 👌🏽

iPhone is a status symbol
Yeah, and I'll have to be financially stable in every sense before purchasing the newer models. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly.
But investing has become incredibly difficult, the recession and volatility has made the financial markets unbearable
In a 2-3 year span, there are not many improvements that's why I upgrade every 5 years. 5s to XS now soon the 15 Pro Max. For 10 years I have had 64 GB, but now that the quality is so much better. I might go overboard and get the 1TB for content creation. Also, the monthly payments seem fine since it is 0% APR during the 24 or 36 months. If you are someone who can pay off the monthly installments sooner but doesn't have all the money now, I'd say do the monthly payments. Because who has $700-$1600 lying around for a phone. BUT MAKE SURE YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES ARE IN ORDER FIRST. Do not do the upgrade program.
No you just can’t afford it. Simple
if you dont have that much money lying around you probably cant afford it then.
If you don’t have $600-$1700 laying around.. you shouldn’t be buying a luxury phone. I will say, unboxing therapy is 100% wrong when he says not to finance at 0% APR. Any basic personal finance course will teach you money today is better than money tomorrow. So if you can finance at 0% APR instead of lumping down $1k, you should do it because you’ll make interest off of that $1k in the coming months instead of putting it all down on a phone.
I just traded in my old phone thru my cell provider, I went from an SE, to a 14, to a 15 pro and I'm fine with paying $99 or $199 every two or so years to have the latest from Apple.

Paying monthly is 100% the way forward, 15 pro max £49 a month for 24 months 0% interest through Barclays, if you wanna upgrade a year in then just click trade in device and you can use your phones trade in value to clear the finance and start a fresh

Something he didn’t mention about eBay, is that there are a huge load of charges when you list something, so it could be better to,just trade it in with Apple.
The benefit of trading in your device is that Apple only wants the device. They don’t want the box or the charging cable, and if you’re trading in an iPad, you also keep the ac adapter.
Last thing. If you trade in a device and pay in full, Apple will credit you with a gift card. They don’t credit you the difference on your card.
If you trade in a device and pay it off monthly, then you’ll,get the difference credited immediately, and you’ll see that during the checkout process.

financing with Apple is not a bad idea at all, If you plan on keeping a phone for multiple years then why not finance it at 0% APR for a year or two. plus with an apple card you get 3% cash back.
I agree however in Canada Apple is charging 7.99% APR which is sad.
Having the Apple credit card and not taking the 0% APR is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard on a finance/technological space.

Yes! (I made a whole UA-cam short inspired by this.)
Watching unbox after ages, fast forwarded a bunch of times and landed on the urine joke. Worth it.
If the interest rate of paying for a phone over 24 months is 0% (which it is), then it would technically be cheaper to do that than paying upfront because you could stick that money in a Savings account and collect interest over those 2 years. In fact, Apple got rid of that option for unlocked phones because carriers were missing out on money lol.
7.99% for financing
See the first sentence: If the interest rate of paying for a phone over 24 months is 0% (which it is),
In addition to putting the money into a savings account the present value of money is also higher due to inflation so paying some of that later is better.

On a side: didnt they showcase in the announcement that you can now record straight to an external drive? That will be a game changer
Pro max is the way to go
i’m having this exact same problem.
I’m pretty sure the transfer speed is insane ( with a high transfer speed cable ) , practically be recording thru drives for sure~
I’m waiting for testing videos about speeds etc!
@@Nichouchou I'd love to wait and be able to check it out in the stores, watch video reviews etc. But I'm worried about it selling out and not being available for a couple months. I've been wanting to switch to iPhone since the 13 came out and I'm finally able to do it so I just want to go for the pre-order.
I am getting the pro max just because its only $100 more for all the extra you get va pro at 256gb storage. I love the small form factor of the pro but battery size can be a hindrance because I’m a heavy user
I currently have the 14ProMax 512GB. I also pre ordered the 15ProMax Natural Titanium in 512GB. Will look great with the Apple Ultra 2
I’ve used my iPhone 8 Plus for almost 6 years until now and I’m thinking to upgrade to iPhone 15 pro max soon I’m so excited it will be a huge upgrade !
It’s so tempting but I should probably pay off my credit cards first so maybe I’ll get to wait for the 16 Pro Max 👍🏻
the natural titanium is honestly growing on me, but I still can't decide if I like that or the blue titanium color more, I'd have to see them in person first
Same but I'm going with blue
Same confusion, bro! Natural or Blue. I'm losing it!!
Bro I’d love this kinda response from you for a galaxy phone. Never seem to have a big issue with their 2k+ phones that have been the same for 3+years
One update for the 15 Pro Max is a new LIDAR sensor that’s supposed to significantly reduce overheating. I use the LIDAR daily for work, so I’m going to have to update.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Also, Titanium is more heat resistant than steel, which could result in fewer instances of overheating iPhones
Imagine paying $800 in 2023 for 60hz screen and USB C but 2.0 speed
Facts
Only people obsessed with Apple Inc will blindly pay up for that 😂
Samsung A54 5g does have all of those features+...
Apple is selling only a faster bionic chip😂
@@Spotify-24I know that’s what’s so sad lol
They have lots of friends with iMessage prob
Anyone after the non-pro iPhone 15 should really look at whether there are good deals going on last years pro models in their area. Locally last years pros are seeing some discounts and they are close to the price of a 15.
You lose USB-C if you go last years pro, but you get the same processor (should ensure the same support period long term), a better display (promotion, always on), an additional camera lens, the same 48mp lens, same digital island support and a steel frame versus titanium. The battery life according to Apple is also a bit better on last years pro versus this years base model.
For some people USB C is a no brainer and last years pro won’t get a look in. In almost every other spec, the 14 Pro comes out equal or favourable to the 15 and could be a great buy if you can get one at a similar price due to discounts.
I'm not use to comment on UA-cam, but you made me do it by mentioning your truly and prudent opinion about how Apple (and this stands for Samsung and other brands) that charge more every year for the same thing and bring old stuff.
We're reaching a break up point were the companies and people also (more on people side) need to have their feet on the group and stop with this unmeasured and non sense consuming behavior.
I used to have Samsung S10 (which I've bought from my phone company at 600€) and had it for 2 years. It broke down and I was to see prices and it's ridiculous. At the end I've bought a 300€ phone and it's totally fine for my normal usage. I tend to be a photo person, but my current phone doesn't allow me to be it, so now I just take the regular photos and it's totally fine.
I don't understand why people sell their soul during 24 month of payment's just to buy a phone that they use at most unless just to showing it of.
Please be more honest with the products like you were in this video and have an educational behavior to remind all of us that these prices and the "innovation" are ridiculous
the iphone did change you are just blind, watch the keynote, they added a shitload of features.
Different strokes for different folks mate.
For most working people, it's a valuable tool. Email, web search, payment device, camera, organiser, entertainment, calendar, health, safety... maybe you aren't as busy or able to afford one.
@@schizofennec”shitload” lol
and you think he can't use or have those you mentioned with his 300€ phone? @@Danboi.
I read one comment, "Will look great with the Apple Ultra 2". I'm not judging, but I suspect this is what the poster is referring to.
You guys have Definitely done this more than 15 times. Off the top of my head there’s been at least 19 phone events.
Wow. Just watched this, and pretty happy with my preorder of the exact thing you’re getting. I almost maxed it out. Glad I saved a little by not doing that. It’s gonna be a monster improvement over this iPhone X that’s still trucking along. 😂
you save nothing by doign that, why do people not understand the difference of cost and price.
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl I almost paid $1700+ and then decided to not get as much storage and paid $1500. So I saved myself $200 by not buying the bigger one. I could’ve saved $1500 by sticking with an obsolete iPhone but it’s time to finally upgrade.
I usually use my phone till the wheels fall off and I’m currently on 11 so I think it’s time for an upgrade
Same here bro I’m on the 11 too but I found out if you wait too long it ends up being more expensive because then you barley get trade in value and you end up buying a new phone full price
if you want an "upgrade," switch to android.
@@reubenm3344 I’ve been looking into it since they revealed it I might just buy it with some trade value
@@DisasterYT I’ve been looking into that too but most of my stuff is in icloud
Yeah, I will go for the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro max 512gb and try to keep it 5-6 years this time, if I had an iPhone 11 Pro instead of my standard 11 with 64gb, I would have waited for the 16
Carrier trade ins via Apple seemed to be pretty good options. Did that and just put a $399 down payment and made the cost $0 a month.
I really appreciate your thought process! I'm also a DP, usually Canon, but these phones will definitely become a footage source. Hope their LOG codec will be friendly.
Great advice! I've thought of iPhone but own OnePlus 7Pro, still awesome! I have friends who've gone through 2 or more iPhones. I like the specs of the 15 proves talk is not cheap! I would go for the one you're ordering if I was going to buy. BUT I'm waiting for the next OnePlus to arrive!
Had to upgrade from my 6s plus to iPhone X back in 2018 when because of water damage and now 5 years later I think it’s time to change for the 15 pro max , my biggest reasons are battery life and having different focal lengths for the camera and type-c to match everything else I own , I do have my dslr and mirror less cameras but for those occasions that I’m not holding them in my hands at least I know I have a great chance of capturing the moment .
Please can you shed more light on why we shouldn’t choose the pay over 24 months option?🙏🏻
He probably assumes there’s an interest rate attached to the loan. If zero interest, there’s no reason not to spread out the payments.
I’m going to pay over 24 months with my Apple Card and get 3% cash back and leave my cash in my Apple Savings account that pays me 4.15%
the same reason you finance anything 😂
Because that means you technically won't own the phone for 2 years. Just like an automobile, if you can't afford to pay for something upfront, with cash, then you can't afford it.
if you're in the US it's probably 0% apr, so it doesn't matter to pay outright, or over 2 years, you're paying no interest either way. in Canada it's 7.99%. no thanks
I’m in for the iPhone 15 pro max 512gb (safe bet) and maybe go with the titanium color. Upgrading from iPhone 12 Pro so it’s a major upgrade for speed/memory/camera/battery/usbC
Im after the SOS feature, I conduct prison transports to hospitals or other facilities and always wondered if something will happen if we are in an area with no cell service, this will be a major upgrade for me
The repairable back glass is honestly the biggest feature to me
If the pro max has really good battery life, I may consider my first ever upgrade after only a year. Getting a 14 Pro was a mistake because of the limited battery life.
Is it really that bad?
@@horaciolloret2006 well, sometimes I can squeak through a whole day without charging up but most times I have to make sure I bring a portable charger and or a wall plug and charging cable to make it through the day. And my better is at 100% capacity still. But I do think it’s a complete joke that apple will only give me half of what I paid for my 1 yo phone model. I might just keep on keepin on with this one until the battery life gets unmanageably short and then think about upgrading. I usually don’t upgrade for about 3 years because phones are so expensive now.
Realest video on this channel 🙌
Considering changing from the xiaomi 10t pro to the 15 pro or pro max... I think its worth it, although the only reason would literally be the camera, apple carplay and the battery life, the rest on my xiaomi 10t pro is (amazingly) still fine after +-3 years... dont notice any performance degradation whatsoever. What would be some key changes tho when upgrading?
@@darthvader1191 well my phone works great (except for the battery noe that has degraded a bit) although it does crash with android auto very often. Tried every solution but nothing works, seems like a xiaomi miui13 issue but then again, why spend+-1.400$ just for carplay...
hi nathan i was using mi10t for 2-3 years and change to iphone 14 promax guess what!? my mi10t is faster the only upgrade i felt was the cameras and thats why upgraded for making content
@@rboz-7815 yeah, i feel like especially the selfie cam in the 10t pro is terribly "zoomed in" and the colors are washed out.... the videos on the 10t pro are imo very high quality...
It’s great. If I didn’t buy a 256GB 14 Pro Max I might be bothered. Really the only thing that would affect my use is changing the cable. Camera and any other updates would likely be marginal but it’s kind of reassuring when they don’t reinvent the wheel because I don’t want the iPhone to be completely different in operation when I do get a new phone.
Yeah 😊
Love your videos, sir ❤❤❤
I purchased the 14 Pro Max last year upon release actually preordered it & my personal rule is a 3yr minimum meaning I buy a new phone every 3years however, I was curious on the differences & did a device comparison on apples website 14Pro max vs 15Pro max & It’s the same exact phone except for the usb type c . So with that being said the upgrade is optimal for people with a iPhone 12 & below!
iPhone 5 was my first iPhone. Had the 5s as well, but I kept that model until the 7. Only had that phone for about 2 years before I got the X. Which honestly, hated. Too heavy, 64gb base was terrible coming from my 128gb 7. I currently have a 12 mini and its probably my favorite out of them all at this point. I ordered the 15 pro so Im a little scared to go up in weight but we will see. Battery life and camera is becoming more and more relevant to me.
They did not invited him so I don’t blame him to trash talk to them 😂😂😂, I already Pre ordered my IPhone 15 Pro max but says 9/15 😅
Please don’t listen to him about “buy it all in full” I’ve done phone sales for 10 years there’s nothing wrong with financing, there’s no interested or nothing & not all of us are 1% to buy these phones outright. Shop smart 🙌
Exactly. Don’t get at all why he said there’s a “reason” for the finance option. It’s literally 0% interest. Why blow $1k in a day when u can spend it over 24 months.
Ended up trading my 11 pro max in for the 15 pro max and paying approximately $950.
I pre-ordered it but the delivery date was set for November 9th. So I cancelled my pre-order and showed up at the Apple Store in my city 90 minute before they opened. A lovely lady took me and the 10 or so people in lines names down and reserved a time for us to come pick up the phone we wanted.
I came back a few hours later once the store was opened and walked out with my new phone. On top of the $950 i then bought a case and a new charging brick cause on my way home from the Apple Store earlier that morning, my charger and cable fell out of a hole in my drawstring bag.
Overall it was an easy experience, and going from the 11 pro max to the 15 pro max was a substantial jump.
Had many iPhones, last phone was Samsung s21 ultra. Was a good experience for about 2+ years then decided to come back on iPhones again. Got the 14 pro plus and man don’t regret it at all.
Im on an 11 pro max 512, I think this is the year I finally upgrade tbh. I just prefer the feel of the rounded edges but I feel like the 11 pro max is lagging in features now.
Best way to buy one is to get the top range unlocked model and select to pay monthly if you can do so without interest, then use the over time payments to save up the money to pay off the phone early. I usually do mine within the first 6 months.
Doing it this way makes it easier to afford and can help boost your credit score.
Never do trade-ins. It’s never worth it. Gift it to your friends or relatives who have older model phones. This is especially helpful if they have a different brand phone because iPhones have better functionality communicating with other iPhones.
On a side note, I wouldn’t buy the titanium 15 at all. Titanium is not that great of a material. It just sounds cool, but stainless is much stronger and has a nicer, scratch resistant finish.
The rounder edges on the 15 I don’t think look very nice either compared to the more sharp looking models from previous years. This may have just been done to help reinforce the titanium to make up for its lesser strength
Ordered Iwatch ultra mk ii from iwatch series 5 and 512GB iPhone 15 pro MAX from 256GB iPhone xs and I’m super excited!
Thankyou for the advice. Now im convinced on buying the new yellow regular iphone 15
for me i have the iphone 12 pro max pacific blue color. or i can wait for the iphone 16 pro max or the iphone 17 pro series. coming in 1 to 3 years and maybe a full screen/ display. and also thin bezels for the iphone series. is it worth it to upgrade to the iphone 15 series with usb-c ports cables. and a good gaming phone for a decent price.
I was going to get the 15 pro max because my charging port doesn’t work anymore but it’s so underwhelming I’m just going to keep mine. Wireless charging is fine just sucks having to take it everywhere.
I’m upgrading from
The iPhone 12 Pro Max so to me this update is HUGE! 🎉
