  • The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are finally here I want to do a buyer's guide on both of these phones because while both phones now look the same there are actually still a lot of small differences between these phones that I think a lot of people might overlook like software differences between the 48 megapixel camera systems, USB-C port differences, different designs, and other feature differences you need to know about like which phone actually has the biggest battery inside of it.

      I do have 1 big question 🙋‍♀️. Why guys at Apple 🍎, regarding the iPhone Pro Max lineup we always get the lame side of color choices?
      No 🍏 , 🍊, or 🍎 in their pro choices?
      In the basics only. 😮

      No quandary for me. I have big hands and still type with one finger, hunt and peck. Also I buy phones for the cameras which is why I used Samsung Galaxy S series phones since the original Galaxy S thru the S21 Ultra. I bought a 13 Pro Max and after a week of use and watching numerous UA-cam videos to learn how to use it I switched to the iPhone for my daily driver. I'm definitely going to upgrade to the 15 Pro Max! I'm just hoping to get a blue phone. I've always bought black phones and even though I keep it in a case I still want a blue phone for a change. I'm slightly disappointed with the 5x optical zoom instead of 6x but it's not a deal breaker for me. The periscope zoom lens has been available on Samsung Galaxy S series phones for years so I'm definitely excited that it's now available on the 15 Pro Max.

    This was the clearest and best organized video I’ve seen about the new phones so far. I haven’t upgraded in over 3 years, so getting the 15 Pro (and I’ll probably sprint for the Max) is a big bump for me. I used to work for Apple, and would get the new phone every year, and would lose myself in the plethora of tech specs and nuances of the devices. You provided plenty of nuance, while never losing sight of the broad strokes that lie at the heart of this exciting decision. Thank you!

    I got a 12 pro max a few years ago, traded that in and got 1000 dollars credit for it. Just got the 15 pro max for 200 dollars. This is possibly the greatest out of box phone to exist. The features actually make this one feel like a genuine upgrade and worth the price they're asking for finally. I didn't own a 13 and 14 pro model so I wouldn't know if everything is new. But transfer speeds this high, charging is faster, pictures are better, the 120hz screen, little bit more ram to play around with now, this is nice.

    iPhone 15 and 15 Plus looks way more appealing this year than last. What’s up with these dreadfully boring colors on the Pro’s??? It’s almost like Apple wants us (the consumers) to buy the 15 and not the Pro’s. I guess they figure they’re more likely to sell higher quantities of the “cheaper” iPhone. Apple, please make the Pro color-way more enticing next year for 16 please!

      Exactly right! That’s why I got the regular 15. First reason was because I wanted to downsize from a 13 pro max. Too big and heavy but the pink color definitely drew me instantly. Those other colors on the other ones are depressing and droopy looking.

    One thing I’ve haven’t heard mentioned yet is that since the photos will effectively double in resolution (12 to 24) that will give you more room for cropping. So the difference between in the 3x zoom on the Pro vs Pro Max isn’t such a big deal. I rarely use the 3x zoom on my Pro Max anyway but I’m excited about that 5x zoom.

    I’m not one of those people who upgrades phones way too often, so when I get one, I like to try to get the one I will be happy with for the longest time. I’m upgrading my XS max this year.. I’ll probably stick to every 5 years or so for replacing. I do wish the pro max came in better colors. I’m a huge pink fan and I’m so tempted to get the plus just for that reason alone, but I’ll probably go for the pro max in white titanium and get a pink cover lol. Super helpful video. Thank you!

      With as big a jump as you’re making, you might be just as satisfied with a 14 pro max, with a lower price tag! The 14 pro max is what I have right now. I usually upgrade every year though my cell phone plan, but I don’t really see any benefit yet. Unless you’re really into phone cameras, I don’t see the point in spending more money to get the 15 pro.

    I JUST got the regular iPhone 15, and I personally love it. The only issue I have is that it gets slightly warm when I charge it, so I let it charge to 100% before I go to bed and take it off the charger. But other than that it’s a great phone and I recommend getting it if you plan to trade it in, which will end up being cheaper than just buying the phone all by itself. It also all depends on the add-ons you get with it

I do enjoy gaming so future proofing for that was a plus. But i must be honest, it was a tough decision between the iphone 15 and 15 pro -- if i werent intending to keep this phone for at least 2 years and werent so bothered about the screen feature, then i would have got the iphone 15. I was able to preorder the pro but there is part of me still thinking to get the regular 15... is that extra £200 really worth it for the screen, the camera, and the build

I haven't had an iPhone since the 11 pro Max so I expect to see substantial improvements.

Also as I was thinking of getting the 256 GB upgrade.

I won't get rich if I would save them, so I see no point, I will get the best there is since I'll have that phone for 2 years, not for 2 months.

    I got the iPhone 15 instead of the pro model just bc I have smaller hands and prefer smaller devices. It’s the exact same as the 14 but much easier to hold onto. I think the speakers sound much better as well. It also has a much smoother keyboard when you type. Idk why. I’m not a tech expert. I do prefer the iPhone 14 colors tho. But the iPhone 15 and 15 pro looks way more professional and aesthetically pleasing. I thought the iPhone 15 blue was white looking, however you can def tell it’s a light blue, almost baby blue but much lighter. Which gives it that more sophisticated look. And again if you’re like me that doesn’t like to use a phone case all the time to show of your phone, the 15 is much easier to hold. I’m not concerned about dropping if. To me it also seems to run much smoother. Now I’ve just had it for 24 hours so maybe I’m being biased since I just bought it. But in my opinion I find it much more user friendly and what an iPhone sound feel like, both touch screen as well as the body. Plus everyone (including me) had the space purple color 14, so it’s nice to switch up. Also if you are going with a 2 year plan might as well upgrade to the 15/15 pro bc it’s only a few more dollars than the 14. The only thing you’re missing out on is three cameras. But I’ve taken a lot of photos since having this, I cannot tell a difference whatsoever. In fact so far I’m enjoying the 15 camera slightly more than I did the 14. The zoom is much better. Also when switched to cinematic mode It’s quality blows me away. That’s how good it is. I would much rather find myself shooting a movie/music video/home videos with the cinematic view on the iPhone 15 over the 14. Again all my opinion but I’m someone who likes the feel of the touch screen as well as the entire phone, as well as the camera. Oh and if I didn’t mention the audio is sooo much better. I also enjoy the fact it charges with a type c cable instead of a regular iPhone charger, that way if I forget to bring mine anywhere, I know anyone who has an android, will have a type C cable that I can use.

I liked photos and videos ( many Beach Boys concerts over the years). Is the Max going to give me that much in the optical zoom, or just go with the PRO with max storage.
