- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- iPhone 15 is the latest iteration from Apple which brings many updates that will be highly welcomed by anyone wanting the absolute finest smartphone on the market. In addition to many new features in iOS 17, the new iPhone lineup give us some key hardware updates to not only the camera system, but connectivity as well as processing power with the new A17 processor chip featuring a new 6 core GPU. From raytracing graphics to image processing, this is the best iPhone that Apple has released to date.
Thanks to Apple for the loaner phones and for inviting me to Cupertino for the announcement event. Accommodations were paid for by me personally. This video is not sponsored.

The greatest innovator on the Apple team was the EU.
😂
lol
I suppose if you ignore the fact the Apple has been moving its product lines over to USB-C since 2015, you could suggest that.
Apple innovated the concept of inserting a charging connector either way around. You're welcome!
Apple fan boy says “this is such a great upgrade”. Droid fan boy says “umm we had that on Samsung 4 years ago.
There are several things that distinguish you from the massive pack of tech reviewers. First, you’re able to get through a fairly long review without annoying jump cut after jump cut. In fact, I can’t remember another UA-cam video that was anywhere nearly as smooth as yours. Secondly, EVERY SINGLE OTHER iPhone reviewer seems to need to remind us that Android had such and such a feature 2,000 years before Apple. I don’t need to know about Android or Windows …other than what I already know; neither of these platforms are for me. You’re my new go-to!
Amen. If you like Android or Windows, great. Support them with your business. But I'll take Apple's ease of use and intuitive nature combined with what is usually either state of the art or competitive with state of the art performance across a host of categories any day. I'm not a fanboy (another lazy insult the Android Windows crowd like to lob our way), I just like cool stuff that works well. Is it perfect? Of course not. But having what would have been an advanced super computer not all that long ago that fits in your pocket and does all that it does? I mean, they're poisonously addictive. But,...I get it.
Yep,,,,, what you said :)
I truly feel like many people take for granted the engineering that goes into our devices.
Exactly! A lot of people look for reasons to complain all the time without really knowing the thought process and the dedication it takes to produce such a wholesome device.
NPC: hurpdurp looks the same. must be the same.
well said
When you say our devices, what role do you play at Apple 🤔
@@duderu4real94 some of you will argue over red being red
Our devices … the devices we use … it’s really not hard to grasp is it lol 😂
The thing most people are missing about the Action Button (which could/should have been available 10 years ago!) is that it allows you to activate the camera with gloves or wet hands. I’ve lost count of number of times I’ve missed great family shots at the beach/pool due to my iPhone not unlocking.
What does wet hands/gloves have to do with Face ID unlocking your phone?
they mean you currently have to slide the screen to open the camera, which is something thats difficult to do with gloves or wet hands. Now you have a physical button, so you don't have to rely on the touch screen to turn the camera on.@@ChillydontCap
You can trigger the camera with a tap gesture to the back of your phone fyi
You still have to activate the camera somehow, by swiping or long pressing, but with wet hands / gloves you can't do that. You don't need FaceID to activate the camera. @@ChillydontCap
ahh completely forgot about that. thanks for the reminder!@@SETHBRUNDLEFLY
I think it's important to note that Apple didn't switch to USB C through the goodness of their heart, to give the customer a better experience. They did it because the EU forced them to.
People say that, and yet they had it on other devices for years. Anyone who thinks they wouldn’t EVENTUALLY head in that direction with their phones is just not using their goopy head organ
So thanks EU for likely ensuring it happened 1-3 years sooner. Technically, Apple could have waited one more iPhone iteration before going this route but yeah
@@Weather_NerdEU forced them. They made money with thr other pne which was proprietory and they got money from gadget manufacturers
Makes you wonder how many other functionality they haven't released yet because consumers are happy with incremental updates and this way it sells more stuff. Who cares about the environment?
I don't think that is important at all. Just because they were commercially 'forced' doesn't change the engineering and modifications apple have chosen to make.
Apple made a excellent decision inviting you to their event. No one else would’ve been able to Xpress from a photographer point of view so eloquently.!
..the first professional who knows, understands and appreciate the capabilities of the apple creation in iPhone 15 while still remembers the whole journey it took to get here, yet humbly acknowledges lastly what’s essentially an iPhone accomplishes for us in just a day.. thanx to the team that give their very best to make these devices that add value to life like capturing those magical moments to storing our memories and enabling us to create and connect , we really adore the usb-c, the telephoto lens and the aerospace grade Titanium used in its build.. this is a serious mobility tool.
Thank you, Ted, for this wonderful video. That’s what I was missing from the media, a photographer focused review on the new phones. A pleasure to watch it.
If you want an honest review, watch Tony and Chelsea Northrup.
They give you the actual details and break the facts down.
The way this guy explains the camera system is excelsior. I hope he posts another video on this subject.
Excelsior. Now there’s a word I haven’t heard in a looong time.
@@graxxorstrangely, it’s now on NY state license plates. Been meaning to find out that historical tidbit.
Now this is what I needed to choose this phone from a photography standpoint! I so needed this review! Thank you for taking the time to give a detailed explanation of what it can do!
Great video. Probably the best I've seen for the iPhone 15 and what it does in relation to photography.
GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for this great and easy to digest info!💓💓💓
Great video Ted!! Can’t wait to get mine in hand to check out all the great new camera features! Hope to see you again one of these days!
Great review....Thanks so much for getting so organized and not wasting my viewing time. Again....Really GOOD!!!
Great review and summarization of the nuance details that do not get discussed often. Thank you!! 👌🏼
I appreciate this review. One feature that I’ve really appreciated as a photographer on my Pixel 7 is being able to double click the power button to instantly open the camera. Then take pictures or video with the volume button. This enables me to take a lot of action shots on a bike or when I’m constrained somehow. I don’t even have to look at the phone. Good to see the iPhone 15 Pro now has a similar ability now.
What got my attention here was the depth map function. Reminds me of the Lytro light field camera. Really cool to have that on a phone! Log video and tethering, etc, all pretty amazing too.
The “Focos” app has actually had the feature for a while and even allowed cinematic video way before Apple included it by recording a live feed of depth data alongside video 🤯
@@bolttrackseven worked on the XR
Wow, this was great. Comprehensive and even seeing the actual Log footage and color graded result was very cool.
Your discussion was beyond excellent. The amount of information regarding iPhone 15 was a micro tutorial. I see this iPhone is an opportunity to enhance our skills within the creative field of photography. Without carrying the weight and burden of a conventional camera system, new doors have been opened to focus our eyes in more appreciative ways.
Yup, been shooting pro video for decades, just got the 15 pro max a couple of weeks ago and starting to learn it, this was helpful.
Excellent review, thanks so much!
Great review and love the lighting on your video
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm not the type of person who needs the latest and greatest Apple products. I have an iPhone 8 and after watching your video, I am contemplating getting the iPhone 15. This is one of the greatest reviews of what the iPhone can do. Thx!
Greetings From Brooklyn, NY. Great Job Ted. Love your work!
Just a quick note at 11:58, MP4 is a container not a codec. iPhones use the h.264 and h.265 codecs along with the new ProRes option. Aside from that, great job on the review!
Ted, I can always count on you for an awesome review! Thank you so much.
Great review/explanations!! Thanks!!!
Great video Thank you
Great video review! Thanks
I've watched a lot of reviews and this one is exceptional. Congrats.
Thanks for this! Looking forward to getting my 15.
Love your video m, sir! No flash or gimmicks but straightforward info that is useful. I’m now convinced to upgrade. Thanks!
Thank you , excellent video !!!
Outstanding video. We love the detail you have provided - especially for folks who create content. Your explanation about focal length is spot on. Our team is so thrilled that the usb-c means our products work with these new iPhones. Also, price is a big debate amongst our team, with a few of us split between the Pro and Pro Max.
I’ve been following your channel for some years now. I like how you review cameras. Now you’re reviewing iphones which makes me believe that iphones are now great alternative to cameras. May be not for professional used but for daily recordings. Thanks!
As usual, great video, thanks! I’ve ordered the 15 Pro, and am looking forward to, to putting it through its paces.
Great review, thanks
Thank you and great review
Great non stop video appreciate your overview and explanations mate 👍
Dude, you're amazing!
Thank you a lot!
I learnt photography from your podcasts. Always thankful for very detailed contents.
thanks for the very good explanation!
Great review. I'm almost in the upgrade window for my 13PM and was unsure about the next step - think this has helped me decide.
Very useful video! Thank you!
Great review! Thank you 🤗👏
Enjoyed this informative piece. My iPhone 15 Pro is ordered. Can’t wait to explore the camera features.
This is a fabulous overview of the camera setup on the iPhone 15. Many thanks, as always you do not miss a beat. I now have the phone and just starting to kick the tires and do some test shots. This video has been very useful.
Very useful information 👌
Thank you for the great information. You do this so well.
I know very little about photography, so loved this video. Learned a lot!
Loved it!! Thank you!
Awesome presenter. Excellent job explaining the featues and providing supportive enthusiasm.
nice lighting, sound and good job on coverage.
Your reviews are very unique. Because you always tell us yesterday-today-tomorrow of the product story
Excellent review! Thanks!
This is the best and most informative review I’ve watched I am now a huge fan!
Thank you. Very helpful in allowing me to see what I have bought(a week ago). It will be fun exploring.
Wonderful. Nice video
Great review! Log encoding is what finally won me over into getting the pro model this time around!
Are you planning on measuring how many stops of dynamic range you can get out of Log ProRes footage? Would loooove to know!
Haven't watched your videos in a really long time.❤ I'm glad to be back 😊 👍🏻 yours where the first photography channel I watched on UA-cam back in the day!
Totally enjoyed your video. I would consider myself an amateur plus plus photographer, wanting more in my pictures but certainly not a pro.
Traded my iPhone 12 to the 15. Couldn’t justify the cost of the Plus or pro..but the advanced features and 48 mp made my mouth water. I had an older IPad mini and my IPhone 12 to trade so my net cash outlay was only a few dollars. I was a happy camper from the moment I walked out of the store. Have the 15 about a month now, still learning but the quality of my photos have jumped. One of my rescue fur baby is truly a ham and I’ve been taking pictures of him daily. Recently set pictures side by side and totally blown away at the quality . Especially the closeups. Anyway I am getting off track. Thanks for the informative video.
Great content. Thank you.
Thank you for such an in-depth well thought out and detailed product video that is also a really amazing tutorial video!!! You are the man and as always your lighting in your videos is very enjoyable to view! Thanks again… I just upgraded from an 11 to the 15pro and it’s amazing!
Now that was a great review!!! The upgrade is very minor but I’m still excited to get mine
Thank you for a great video.
Best explanation…thanks a lot
Great review! thanks for sharing...waiting on my order :)📱
You’re amazing best video yet
YOU are FABULOUS!!!! I am Loving your page and have become a new follower! Oh WOW! Thank you so much for your intelligence and knowledge!
Thanks so much. I currently have a iPhone 12 max pro and was on the fence about upgrading to the 15 Pro Max Pro. Your review has help me with that decision to do the upgrade. I do quite a bit of photography with my current iPhone and this upgrade will improve what I can do.
One of the best reviews I’ve seen so far on the iPhone 15 subject.
Awesome video!
Absolutely nailed for explaining properly the camera technology in this model. Bravo.
Thank you! Without doubt, the clearest and most comprehensive explanation and comparison of the cameras and associated features in the iPhone 15 suite. Did I say “thank you”? Thank you!
Thanks for your video! Loved it! And the end made me smile because I am gracious too for being able to have such an awesome device daily in my pocket!
Very well explained 👍
I was going to buy a dedicated camera to help capture some of my photography BTS and VLOGs. With the ability to shoot log on iPhone, it's a no brainer, I'll definitely be using the iPhone for this purpose. Great review!
Great review and awesome to get such a review from a photographer like yourself. Can't wait to get my hand on one of the Pro Max's.
What a super useful, clear, beautifully presented and erudite video. Thank you !
New to channel and just subscribed.
Can’t wait to get my 15PM
Great stuff 🙏
Great presentation. I just ordered my new 15Pro as an upgrade to my old 12. Now you have explained why I did it. I was just going on the ATT upgrade bonus offer.
What a clear and comprehensible presentation for those of us who are not expert photographers. Your eloquence is incredible. Will order an iPhone 15 now.
Great video
What is your audio source? It's super clear! Also love the natural lighting... Great review of the iPhone!
Thanks! Very clear and informative review! Reaffirmed my choice!🎉
Thanks!
ty
great stuff
Well explained.
Outstanding review just what I needed to understand my wife's new iPhone 15 pro, subbed you and regards from the UK.
Such an organized and well spoken description of the phones.
I am so excited. I travel for wildlife and always regret missing the footage between sitings, this will change that.
Thank you for sharing all these details, super helpful! The audio quality of your video is better than anything I've ever seen (heard). Would you mind sharing what kind of microphone you are using?
The modern smartphones are the pinnacle of the technology. Fantastic!
I just saw 20 seconds of your video,its quality is amazing.
A fabulous presentation of the iPhone 15 capabilities - thank you. I have one on order and following this review very much looking forward. I have a feeling my Leica Q2 may start gathering dust.
Got myself a 15 Pro Max. For the 120mm lens, the USB C and the ability to record directly to SSD. Had a 14 pro, but the above reasons are why I changed.
So far, seems great. Yet to use the cameras properly, but that will come over the coming weeks, excited to see what I can do with it :)
You got ripped off should have kept your iPhone 14! 13 and 12 are just as capable! It's a shame because iPhones used too actually make powerhouse phones every few years with Ferrari upgrades now they tweak it a little bit and call it a super iPhone upgrade! All pass unfortunately iPhone only cares about pushing these units out and making money 💰🤑💰 for an overpriced over hyped pretty phone! All take a Samsung S23 or even Pixel 8 over that 🍏 as they have way more capabilities, programs, and fun features!!!
@@whiteviper1979 it’s subjective, and I didn’t get ripped off. iPhone 14 doesn’t have a 120mm equivalent lens, USB C for fast transfer speeds and ability to record in ProRes log direct to an SSD. So no, they’re not “just a capable” in certain departments. I use macs for video editing so my workflow suits having an iPhone. Incidentally, I have a Pixel 7 Pro for business which I love too. To suggest I got ripped off is a bit too far!
“Way more capabilities”? In what respect?
@@CJW-Media I'm not 🚫 bashing iPhones at all whatsoever but I am not at all impressed with the iPhone 15 Pro as far as the price and it's new functionality in comparison too Androids! I personally think the iPhones 14 is more premium overall in every way but that's just my personal opinion! With that being said I personally prefer Android phones in general... if you enjoy your new iPhone 15 Pro that's all that matters!!!
I upgraded from the 13 pro to the 15 pro max and portraits are night and day. The 5x lens on the 15 pro max is amazing!
@@whiteviper1979be happy with ur buy let him be happy with his he feel the same way u feel about ur Samsung 🤦♀️🤦♀️
I have an 11 pro and now it’s time for an upgrade cheers buddy nice one
Stunning! As a photographer considering an iPhone 15 Pro - this is streets ahead of anything else I have watched (a lot), so thank you very much!
If the regular 15 was only a camera, how much would just that cost? What about the PRO and PRO Max?
One of the things you mentioned in this video about being able to to adjust the f stop in post with photos taken in portrait mode, I noticed is not in fact an an iPhone 15 upgrade, however it was added with the IOS17 update. I was surprised and glad to see that when I went to edit a portrait photo on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Great video as usual Ted thanks for the breakdown on all the other features.
The new feature with iPhone 15 is that you can now change the f stop of a non portrait image and turn it into a portrait. Before you had to shoot in portrait mode itself, now you dont
As always, yours and Chris and Jordan’s are the first sources I turn to regarding new photo tech. There is so much negative chatter on the internet about Apple’s event (Oh God, why isn’t there a black Apple Watch Ultra!!! How was Tim Apple’s interaction with Mother Nature?) with very little about what the new processors and camera systems actually offer. Frankly, I wasn’t even interested in updating my 14 Pro Max until I viewed your video, including the new functionality of the main camera and the stabilization of the telephoto camera. Up to now, I’ve just been using the main camera, in Raw, with no zoom-in. Great review!
Just got the pro max and shot a cinematic hand held video walking last week, and the stabilization was impressive. The camera is definitely a big upgrade from my 13 pro max.
Thank you, Sir.
Thank you for this great review, so appreciated. Can you please tell me which external SD drive are you showing in this video. Thank you so much.
