Having spent a few days with the iPhone 15 Pro in Sydney I've been really enjoying the key new features like USB-C, the 5X telephoto tetraprism lens, the new action button, and of course the revised design and titanium frame. But some decisions Apple continues to make are blatantly anti-consumer and directly in opposition to the claims of environmental protection that they publicly profess. Today we'll go over my in depth testing iPhone 15 Pro review and discuss the MASSIVE flaw with iPhones these days.

What are your thoughts on iPhone 15 Pro 🧐 Get your VITURE One at 10% off with code LukeMiani: store.viture.com/discount/LukeMiani
1st world problem complaints. The average customer doesn’t care.
Actually, I bought 2 - the 15 (upgrading from 12 mini) and 15 Pro (upgrading from 13 Pro). TBH, upgrading from the 14 Pro is not worth it; unless you want 5x or USB-C. About the battery life - it seemed that it was really going through the battery fast, but after having 5 days now; I find that the battery is conditioned and now the battery life has improved immensely (TBH, it's actually really great).
Didn't even skip the ad, that's actually a good idea.
Claims like 'recycled materials', 'non toxic components', etc are meaningless if you have to recycle the device long before it reaches what should be its natural lifespan. Parts cannot be replaced without Apple lifting your leg, and in addition you become locked out of your iCloud account until you buy a newer product.
That tactic should be completely illegal, on environmental grounds at the very least.
In addition, you cannot give an older iPhone or iPad a second life by installing Linux onto it. I have a fully reliable iPhone 6 Plus here which still has 87% battery health, and looks brand new, but it can only be used for phone calls, texting and non-iCloud e- mails. Apple locked it out of iCloud a few months ago, for no sensible reason apart from greed, effectively losing them a customer, because I don't have the spare money to shell out for a new phone. I'd put a modern version of Linux into it in a heartbeat.... if Apple would allow that heart to beat.
The only reasons why I use an Apple phone are that Android is truly awful to use, laden with ads on every level, and a portal for Google to shove its hand down the user's throat, or into any other orifice that you can imagine.
Luke you hit the nail on the head with Apple’s decision to lock out 3rd party repairs with serialised components which leads to increased e-waste. Please use your voice and popularity to keep highlighting this and hopefully with enough backlash Apple can change their ways.
Keep up the great work and welcome to Australia.
The iPhone actually works down under ?
Also thank you for talking about the repair side. I own a electronics repair shop and these phones / laptops / tablets are always getting harder and harder to fix. I hate to tell my customers no there's nothing I can do when I know darn well if it wasn't for everything being serialized I could fix it. Apple has made me purchase other products they sell just to break them open to get 1 stupid charging/power IC because no one will sell it. Other repair shops will know what I'm talking about... We need to get Right to Repair moving forward but when all these companies have trillions / billions to spend on lobbyist I'm not sure what we will be able to accomplish without a wake up call.
It’s quite simple, they’re a private business and can sell their products in such a way that they deem appropriate. No one has to buy it. If that happened maybe it would change but the desire is still bigger than the downsides. Doesn’t take legislature to force them to produce products a certain way, trust me no one wants that
this is way more complicated than what you think.
then people are running arround with "repaired" devices from who knows what "technicians" that catch fire etc...
to name only one of many more.
it's not that easy
I own my own business and Ive been in the repair field for about 20+ years now.... I know what I'm talking about. There are bad repair shops out there yes but there are many many many good ones that are not " Authorized repair " X brand " that you can trust. I do not know of many devices that have been repaired from a shop and then blown up / catch fire. That would be a potential bad battery that maybe a good tech thought was good at the time? It is tricky finding the right vendors that will go against the big tech companies and sell you the right / good parts I admit. I really hope your not one of those people who watches and believes all the " ANTI-REPAIR COMMERCIALS " about an un-authorized tech will hack your device and ruin your life by stalking you. Many " Authorized " repair companies or even the big brand have been caught cutting corners and stealing customers data. I do what I do because I truly want to help people @ fair repair rates and try to slow down the pollution on this Earth from all the e-waste.@@JohnSmith-pn2vl
@@JohnSmith-pn2vlcatch fire??? Really, you show me one example of a device that has caught fire after being repaired by a quality third party repairer. You are dreaming dude 😂
@@shiftctrlhackI totally agree. I repair Macbooks in Australia, I know what I am doing and every day I repair Macbooks that Apple just want to replace logic boards on, telling people that their data is gone forever. If they do not have their data backed up on iCloud , the only way to retrieve their data is to fix the device. Quality third party repair is the only option. You are also right about the anti third party propaganda put out by the big tech companies. The auto companies put out these ridiculous adverts about people getting raped in car parks because of third party repair. This was highlighted by Louis Rossmann in some of his videos. We need effective right to repair strategies from the tech companies and in all areas from farming equipment to computer hardware and everything in between. Not these toothless attempts by CrApple to hoodwink the legislature into thinking that their recent repair and parts availability programs are actually of any practical use.
I like that you’re bringing up repairability 👍🏼 It’s more important than many may think!
Who hasn’t complained about repairability? It’s like the number 1 discussed thing with apple in general
@@BeansEnjoyer911 I believe battery life is the #1 discussed thing.
Its about ho really „owns“ the device
Its kind of interesting listening to repairability concerns. This is coming from someone who literally never breaks a display/backglass or has any other scenarios that destroys the iphone
It’s still not a repair friendly phone. Apple still has a tight control on parts. Everything is still software paired. While physically we can install replacement parts with actual repair manuals, it’s still going to be software locked.
I REALLY appreciated your concerns about reparability as an Apple enthusiast. This makes you respectable as a reviewer, and also raises awareness on these topics, which actually make a compelling point especially considering the contradictory company's stance on environment and recycling.
100% agree
How can you say that when the chassis is now made of titanium ?
Everything you said about repairability is spot on! It’s damaging our nature in a long run.
You know what else is damaging nature?
Flying across the world on a plane fueled by dead Dinos to get a new toy 24 hours earlier than at home.
@@raifolson7033the flight would have happened anyway
The iPhone just does not break so no need for repair.
Really enjoying this "Luke in Oz" series! I think we've passed peak phone, where changes are incremental. Once wireless speeds catch up, we might see another renaissance. But for now, many of us are happy with a refresh with each new phone instead of a radical shift.
What is the point of “it feels better to hold” when people put a case on it anyway?
Thank you so much for covering the issues with a Apple parts pairing and showing how that puts a lie to their grandstanding greenwashing BS.
I am an apple customer, I think their products are really good, but I am becoming more and more disenfranchised and disgusted with the company behind the products.
The reason they don’t change and make things simpler for repair is because that will disallow them from pushing a dystopian future where they can aid the political elite in controlling you, which is why they’re virtue signalling like there’s no tomorrow with their climate agenda, which is nothing more than keeping you in fear of an impending crisis they kept saying will happen for decades!
Apple is still a great company.
As someone who had his phone snatched, I have to say that I’m glad serialising components, makes that stolen phone (which ended up in Shenzhen) far less useful to the thieves.
They should just allow yourself as the owner to be able to control the de-serialization of components via an AppleID login or some other form of authentication, especially one that a thief would not have access to (like a Yubikey). That way, people can repair their own phones or give repair shops temporary permission to swap out components. Having Apple be the sole controller of the serialization process is stupid.
Your comments are perfect. Excited and icky are how a lot of us feel about Apple. Older macs and phones are perfectly usable. A new OS doesn’t have to come out every year anymore. Love the products, hate the hypocrisy. Right to Repair!
I actually feel the exact same! Why even have a new OS every year? It's absolutely not needed. I rather have performance and safety updates. Get a major/big update when you're ready and implement it right! You know, like they used to. I do miss the times of Snow Leopard to be honest.
It’s sad how that feeling has crept up over the last 3 or 4 years or so. All the OS and hardware updates are actually making their products worse.
You want to got back to the Stone Age?
@@stephenbaxter3369 Hey, could you elaborate a bit? Go back to the stone age how so? Because of right to repair? I think we should be able to repair the battery in our smartphone. But that's just me of course. Though i think a lot of people would be happy if this was made a bit easier. There can be many possibility's to do that. I personally love Apple as well. But i understand the need for "right to repair." Of course, it's not the only company who makes it hard to do this. But they sure as heel are the one who don't make it very easy either!
The fastest way to go back to the Stone Age is if we deplete our materials and resources because we cannot repair them. 10 year old laptops and phones can still be used if these companies will take a minimal amount of effort to keep these devices repairable and usable. @@stephenbaxter3369
What more do I want? How about an Action Button which can provide different functions based on long-press, two presses, three presses, or four presses? That’s what I want.
On the action button, there is (at least) one important thing that people would want and that Apple should have done: a much better positioning. The action button is located in the same place as the mute button, which is not the fastest spot to reach (top left side). For a mute button, that would be OK, but for a button that can do much much more and is thus meant to be used much more often, the button should be in the place that is the easiest to access
The 15 pro wasn't in dark mode, gotta be worth a good few percent
100%. This is honestly a major blunder because if he doesn't understand how OLED screens work regarding dark vs light mode, with OLED being able to turn off the pixels in dark mode entirely, what else is he doing that isn't making this a straight comparison? I get that these comparisons aren't scientific but COME ON man.
Plus the battery hasn’t learned the daily usage patterns.
I wonder why they still don't support reverse wireless charging
Probably not a priority or they’re saving it as a new feature for later.
Cause they will lose money, you wanna charge AirPods or any other phone with your iPhone? Hell NO buy our chargers that’s Apples mentality do you get it now?
so that they can make people buy the magsafe charger just to charge your airpods or buy the watch charger
Probably mag safe fields make it difficult
Because 1) it's kind of inefficient, 2) would be hard to do when you want to charge another item that supports MagSafe (the two things would repel each other or be misaligned), and 3) is not that practical aside from AirPods, which would have the issue with not being able to be aligned because the MagSafe Magnets repel each other
I'm a new sub and massive respect for your opinion on reparability, I'll stay subbed just for that.
Im more worried to see how weak the back glass is in various durability tests . I was considering upgrading my iPhone 13 Pro Max to a 15 pro max ,but seeing how flimsy in comparison it is ,I see no point . I mainly go caseless.
Also,my battery health is 100% still ( after the update to iOS 17.01. So, I guess I am doing a better job in preserving my phone. My old 11 that I gave to my mother,years ago, is at 96%.
And I’m noticing nobody is talking about the iPadOS 17 ,how bad it is on something like iPad mini 6. I use my iPad to read books on PDF and before the update was stable af,now crushes the app every few minutes .
yoo, hi. just thought i’d say, i’m usually a 3 year upgrade cycle dude. i thought the 15 pro max was a big enough upgrade though. hell, apple would give me over $1000 (AUD) for my 13 pro max, so why not!
i’m honestly not that happy with the 15 pro max. i will be returning it in a few days. my battery was at 60% by 10am this morning… iOS is getting to heavy for it’s own good. i’m going to go back to the 13 pro max
@@davidjenkins2638 damn, Apple seriously are rushing things . I am guessing it has something to do with the new gen SOC , which they will most likely optimize , but next year one will probably be better tuned .
My main concern remains with the durability issue , though - they can’t fix that with a software tweaks .
13 pro max remains a super stable power house and I’m glad I kept it .
Couldnt agree more with you Luke.
Nowadays it´s almost impossible to repair a recent iphone without apple doing anything.
I had a 6S since 2016 when I bought it used and I replaced the battery 2 times (right now my father uses it ). It´s unfortunate this is happening more and more. I´ll make sure to use my 12 mini as much as possible and i´ll repair it if needed.
The back glass isn’t serialized on the 15 pro and pro max. PRG swapped the back glass on 2 phones and still worked without errors.
Apple states battery life is the same on their website and keynote. Luke finds out the battery life is the same in this video and can’t believe it. Also people please understand about serialising the components. Do you really want to be placing a cheap knock off display on your 15 Pro Max? an inferior back glass with plastic lenses so your pictures now look like dog shit? a port that works half the time because it’s badly made? All of these things ruin your experience of the device and it’s all your fault.
It's an incremental upgrade. The 5x lens is nice, and although new to the Iphone, but it appeared in lots of Android phones. The titanium is utterly unimportant for 99% of all users. Usb-c, standard in ALL android for years is good news. Cheaper cables due to a lack of Apple tax. 11:05
I disagree with your assessment of the importance of titanium. While I agree that the metal’s design isn’t too important, the lightness that is achieved because of it is significant. This is especially true for pro max users who had to worry about suffering a concussion if they dropped their phone while holding it above their heads while laying down.
Android sucks. iOS rocks!
@@stephenbaxter3369 Spoken as a true follower of the Apple cult. I hope you realise that most features in your phone appeared years earlier in Android devices
@@PieterBreda I guess we should thank Alexander Graham Bell.
The minimum focus distance remaining the same is very disappointing to me. It’s honestly my biggest complaint with my 14 Pro. My work requires me to frequently use a third party app to scan barcodes, and because third party apps only use the main camera, the minimum focus distance more often than not makes this pretty much impossible. And it’s not exactly a niche problem. Most shopping and retailer apps that have the ability to scan barcodes have this same issue and it drives me absolutely insane
@lukemiani would you suggest using optimised battery charging or 80% limit?
Is it true that numbering all the components of the iPhone makes its repair more expensive, but in my experience, living in Argentina where it’s very likely that you’ll be robbed, the advantage of them being numbered is that iPhones aren’t stolen because people know that if you lock them via iCloud, they become paperweights. They can’t even sell the parts. Perhaps if Apple numbered them but made repair easier and more accessible, numbering would be an advantage. Because yes, here in Mendoza, which is a province in the interior of Argentina, it’s impossible to find official Apple service centers to fix them.
Good day mates 😎🙌🏻🐝✈️ So cool that you guys went to Australia. My first reaction was oh my God you guys are crazy in a good way but then I saw that you’re actually making content over there which is so cool. I love it. Can’t wait to see more. Have fun and enjoy. Apple servers had a problem when I was ordering at 5 AM so by the time I got my order and it showed October 9, but I do have my Apple Watch Ultra 2. One thing that I really like about it is that I usually put it in airplane mode when I’m in the house but I like to wear it and be able to raise to speak and do basic things like opening apps and setting a timer is actually really useful. I like on device Siri. Also, when I cranked up the flashlight to the 3000 nits in a dark room, it pretty much lit up the room which is awesome.
Do you find the iPhone 15 Pro to be brighter outside than the 14 Pro?
Thank you Luke. Which one you going to get. 15 pro or pro max ?
The best setting to change 5G to LTE, on AT&T the LTE is 2x faster and more reliable. Also I get up to 20% more battery life! In several speed tests LTE was around 250mbps and 5G was around 120mbps at most. It’s ridiculous especially in Colorado where there is line of sight connections to most cell towers.
The ending / later parts of this video are super excellent. Thank you.
Appreciate the honest comments.
I believe the point of the serialized parts, those parts which are part of internal data paths, is to protect the users from parts that could inject malware into your phone.
New to the channel I really like ur opinion on the build on the 15 and 14 and we’re they might go toward the future
I upgraded from iPhone 11 to the 15 pro and OMG I absolutely love it!! The screen is so sharp… the way I can see it even in the sun now… and the speakers are incredible.. the display is incredible… the camera is incredible…. Everything about this phone is crazy amazing!!! 😁
How’s the battery life
@@54CFC seems ok to me. Not as long as I expected maybe. It’s not worth getting excited about but does the job for sure! :)
There’s a reason why I follow your channel: honesty and down to Earth reviews and opinions. I totally agree with your concerns, and thank you for expressing them! Love your content!
This actually made me reconsider if I want to switch back to iPhone after trying some android in between. I'm clumsy and I would not like to pay expensive fees on top of expensive phone, just to be on the safe side when it comes fixing broken display. I mean, sure all the phones can be pricy to get display changed, but some other manufacturers still make it possible to use other than authorized service only.
Battery would not be an issue. I must be good enough to survive whole day. At least I'll postpone purchase decision.
Thanks for the great vid!
Loved your previous video of getting the phone in Australia :D I enjoyed the more vlog style of it!
Glad you liked it!!
I’m migrating to the Fairphone 5 this winter, and for the first time I’ll step out of the techie fast lane.
I’ll happily continue on with a new tech plan contributing less e-waste.
It’s been nice to be with Apple since the first version.
Luke, your were in Sydney! For the iPhone launch! Humbling moment for an aussie nerd
Biggest update in terms of performance to me: 8GB ram. The TSMC 3nm this year is more like one step back with similar performance but way worse power consumption.
Extra GPU core drains energy. Same results since m1 Macbook pro
@DarkPa1adin I agree. But according to SPEC2017 cpu benchmark results specifically using cpu only, alongside the terribly high temperature of A17 pro, it is hard to argue 3nm makes any improvement.
@@Lying29 have you seen Geekerwan? I feel like A17 is an A15++
@@DarkPa1adin Yes exactly. And I saw that SPEC2017 results alongside some other GPU tests right from Geekerwan's video.
So it looks that for many of us that we are not interested in the most fancy or latest features in cameras but use a phone mainly as a phone the only motive to get the i-phone 15 is the USB port, and then this is only justified for the Pro since the non-Pro version is an industry vintage type 2 USB only (vs industry speed type 3 of the Pro). Am i getting this right ?
Well this old normal is simple, and has missed a KISS feature that was taken away from me. So the "Action Button" for this normal it will be the return of the "Home" screen button/sensor. On my iPhone 11 Pro still to this day more times than not can not get the swipe up to work. So it is swipe, swipe, swipe up until it returns to the "Home" screen. My hope is that I can map the "Action Button" via "Shortcuts" to a landing page for multiple "ShortCuts".
*** Please find a at least 3 port USB C hub that I could use to rig up to the new Apple 15 Pro Max so I could have power, external storage, and USB C microphone. ***
With you on the battery issue. Would have thought at least a ten percent gain in battery life. Will have to see what the MagSafe battery options are.
Are you going to buy an American one or use the Australian one as your main phone? Is giving up millimeter wave a big deal?
The last real battery bump was on the 11pro. From the X to the 11 was amazing. Since then, it’s been very incremental.
I had the X and upgraded to the 11 Pro as well lol. Still thinking if I should upgrade to the 15 pro or just get the 14 pro since I still love the Gold. Did you upgrade your phone ?
@@9Os_kid I had the 13 pro and upgraded to the 15. The 13 was a beast and had awesome battery life.
Great work!
And thanks for teaching us about the serialization practice! That is really Big Brother territory.
we do have one hope of this changing and that’s if the EU gets involved and hawks the change on them like they do/did with all of us throughout the years I like Apple undeniably but also I can’t lie I wish they had a Scott Forestall or someone else that is WaltDisney/SteveJobs equivalent because that’s otherwise the only way they would change. I’m using a 13 Pro Max to type this on as a FYI.
Touching on topics not many speaking on.. I appreciate that
Thanks for finally talking about the focus distance issue ! Macro mode is definitely the answer to that but apparently, most people don’t care
Another good video. A very good point about Apple's (so called) Green initiatives Vs Repairability! I've ordered a new 15 and no one has done any comparisons between it and older base model phones!
What cable should I buy for the 15 pro max? Thanks
I’ve shopped on eBay, etc for used iPhones and I’ve come across some that say “no Face ID” or something else is messed up. Now I know why they didn’t get repaired
Glad I did not upgrade for a few years. I’m coming from iPhone 11 Pro Max, and it’s so rewarding to upgrade to the 15 Pro max.
That’s a really good upgrade path to take. I usually upgrade every two years😅 3 years max.
I'm coming from a XR though my hands are just to small to comfortably hold the Pro Max so it's a normal Pro me. Sad I can't use the 5x though :(
@@jacobperez8921I heard the 15 pro max is getting overheated quickly, how is it for you so far?
I agree 100%. I'm going from a 11Pro to a 15 ProMax. My 11pro's battery had degraded to 78% and I thought it was time to replace it. I had been waiting for Apple to change the Lightning port, and the 5X zoom is a welcome addition.
I’m just a regular user of an iPhone SE (2016) that I buy it on a sale in 2018.
I’m constantly viewing the new releases of the iPhones and this year I was expected to upgrade to an iPhone Pro only because it as more battery and 3 cameras and LIDAR… new stuff to experiment.
When the iPhone 15 was announced I compered all features of iPhone 15 Pro with iPhone 14 Pro and 13 and even with 12 and 11 (all Pro line), because the iPhones continue to be very expensive only to use as a regular phone, nothing pro levels…
What I noticed is that now a days for a regular user that need more battery and extra features the best choice is the iPhone 13 Pro.
It has almost the same battery of 14 Pro and 15 Pro.
The photo lents it’s equal similar.
The 13 Pro it as almost the same features that 14 Pro and 15 Pro has.
I assume that in a few day/ months I’m gonna buy a new iPhone 13 Pro a lot more cheaper than an iPhone 14 Pro or 15 Pro that it has almost the same features that 14 Pro and 15 Pro has.
Great review Luke!
Why will no one test the stabilisation on the video of the 5x lens?! anyone seen any?
how has the heat been for you? i've seen a lot of tech people complain about how hot the phones get
Totally my thoughts! Nice video Luke! Hopefully Apple would noticeably improve battery life in the following years, especially when more and more people are complaining and less and less new features can be added.
As for the parts serialization, one way would be for Apple to unlock some parts after a device gets vintage, so at least it would be possible to be fixed with 3rd party parts or technicians.
I’m loving the massive camera improvements and battery life because I upgraded from a 12. That seems like a more realistic upgrade cycle than comparing to a 14.
I got my iPhone Pro on Friday and I noticed that when I’m charging it the battery gets hot and the battery does not last longer than my iPhone 11 Pro Max
Is the 15 Pro/Pro Max heating for you as well..? A reply would be really appreciated, Thanks.
Things I have noticed so far: much lighter and easier to hold, curved edges making it easier to hold also. The a17 pro chip is noticeably quicker.
I put a 14PM against a 15PM and notice no difference what so ever. Sometimes apps on the 14 opened first and vise versa. I think you just want it to be faster to justify wasting your money like me lol
maybe he's doing heavy loads, editing video or something. That's probably where you will feel and see the difference the most. Opening apps is more of a ssd thing than cpu. The single core performance of the new chip is quite amazing for a phone, faster than the M1 chip.@@paulmichael4094
Could not agree more on your final thoughts on this video. It's a main reason I am considering my next phone and computer purchases to be in the Android/Windows ecosystems...
Very insightful and brutally honest review - thank you! I'm sticking with my 14 Pro Max for now. And I haven't purchased Apple Care on any of my Apple products since purchasing my 2017 iMac.
Agree 100%. Thank you for bringing this responsible and fresh perspective. It is great when an influencer does not jump on the hype and talk from the heart.
Maybe all of us as Phone users can just hang onto our phones as long as possible to show Apple and all manufacturers how we really care about the environment impact these products have. I still have my iPhone 11 Pro Max and yeah its nice to have all these new features in a phone but if it doesn’t actually make my daily life better and it doesn’t have a better outcome for the future then its just not worth it for me.
Totally agree with you, I planned to switch to iPhone 15 Pro from 12 mini, but as a protest that iPhone 14 Pro had poor battery life and they did nothing I will skip it.
I’m still a bit on the fence with this, but I too have a 12 mini and was planning on upgrading to the 15 pro. At this point I really don’t know
I was all set to get a new 15 pro, and now I’m unsure. My XR is starting to slow down often so I have to replace it. But I’m kind of bummed.
Great comments and very good points made.
Is it just me or does the natural titanium look like a 13 pro max that they did 2 years ago I have the 13 pro max which I call PIXAR blue. I’m just wondering if it’s not just that gets the same vibe?
Welcome to Sydney. I have a feeling I'm going to see you in the city or in the Darlinghurst area
Great review
Have you noticed the phone overheating? Is it true that the 3nm chip is overclocked (like Intel chips) to “increase” performance per watt?
I’m glad you addressed the repair issues. The fact that Apple says that they support right to repair but makes intentional decisions to serialize components makes me wonder what they define as “right to repair.” I just replaced the battery and screen on my iPhone 11 and I now have (1) lost True Tone, and (2) have permanent non genuine part messages on my phone. Woe betide me if my FaceId breaks.
How about the overexpose problem the 14 PRO have, still present or fixed?
You came all the way here for a phone? Why did we get it earlier? I mean I got mine last week but I wasn't aware it was "early". I can't tell if it's the IOS or the phone but is it me or it heats up a lot? I'm enjoying it over the 12 pro from 3 years ago. I also noticed that with the UsB C, if I connect it to an external screen with power, it actually projects! Didn't happen with the lightning. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your trip though.
Have you seen all the videos popping up of the 15 pro breaking significantly more easily? I feel like thats the real issue with these phones the tech reviewers aren't covering in depth yet.
I love that MY iPhone is an iPhone SE (2022). Simple and small, ideal to carry while 🏃🏻 Touch ID, no Face ID. The single back camera is excellent for casual use (stuff I post on IG)… That’s probably how (at least) 80% of iPhone users take photos, no matter how complex their iPhone’s camera system. AND affordable. IF Apple keeps refining original Steve Jobs iPhone design with updated specs, I’ll keep buying even if my current SE still working. Next one Spring 2025 with A17 and USB-C please! 😏
It most likely will have face id unfortunately for you
@@RuviaPawz Face ID and larger screen would add $100-150 (or more) to retail price, for the low-cost choice. And creating a brand new design with Face ID doesn’t make sense for SE. It’s the “special edition” of an existing design with updated specs. iPhone 13 mini just recently left the iPhone lineup, so Apple may update that existing design with A16 and USB-C for release Spring 2024, call it the new iPhone SE (4). But two back cameras, Face ID, and larger screen will increases cost. OR maybe simply call it iPhone mini (with no number) for customers who want smaller up-to-date iPhone design AND keep current (more affordable) SE in lineup with Spring 2025 specs update.
Also Luke, wanted to know the issue with the back glass breaking so easily? From Jerry’s test. Is it a real issue? That break was too easy to do. Great video! How was Australia! Cheers from Victoria
Of course it is an issue. The back glass broke completely just by using his thumbs. Zack even said he did not use 100% pressure which is why he was so surprised.
Like, how much faster is the USB-C for the offloading of video? Would you be able to share some numbers?
I haven’t measured exact times yet but for an hour of footage at lower file size on my 14 pro it would take about 15 minutes, the 15 pro took less than 4 for the import I showed on camera
@@lukemiani That is very cool! Thanks for replying 😊
Are you saying 11.5 hours of screen time is not enough? What should it have been?
iPhone 15 Pro Max is excellent. Battery life better than the 14 Pro Max. USB-C to Ethernet cable lets you access high speed internet. Plugging in an external USB-C SSD lets me see all the contents and record 4K 60P in ProRes with external storage. Is there an Android phone that lets you record video externally to SSD?
My thoughts are I upgraded from 12 pro max to 15 pro max I slightly expected the camera to include the lidar instead of relying on 3 party app for lidar
the only iphone ive had a problem with battery life on is the se 2022, and thats understandable.
Ive got the 15 pro (not max) and it damn near lasted me 2 days on the first charge, very cool.
One positive comment. I ordered 15 pro 256gb (not max either) and was concerned bout every other comments from this video and other videos. Would you elaborate how long you charge abd apps you yse? I use, Outlook, teams, youtube, WhatsApp, Netflix, Amazon prime video, chrome, no games and no social medias . So us it wirth buying pro? Us the battery coming all day? Is it heating up? Im waiting for mine.
@@ashwinkumar2294 to be honest im not on my phone like most people, i use it to call and message, use youtube sometimes, and answer emails, thats about it..
That being said it has not heated up at all.
(I also use it for music and carplay)
@@CyberMichiganBuilds how's camera? How's video battery life responding?
@@ashwinkumar2294 Well after using it an entire day it dropped from 100-88% so im thinking no matter who you are you should be good, and as far as the camera goes, its defo the best ive ever used.
Can the serialized components be good for thieves stopping steañing iphones?
I just had the display replaced on my iPhone 12 Pro last month by a third party repair shop and the face ID still works. I have a warning message in the settings telling me that new OEM display may not be a genuine part and the true tone feature is gone but that is all that's wrong with it. I have had iPhones since iPhone 4 but now I am considering switching to Android just because of the non-repair issue that Apple is putting into place.
Kudos to you for raising this point, Luke!
You need to upload the HDR version in order for us to watch it properly.
9:13 “Faster than lightning” Apple should have used that one in their keynote 😂
Still waiting since for my iPhone Pro Max Natural Titanium that I ordered at September 21. Looking forward to use the 5x lens, with mechanical image stabilization(a must).
The back glass assembly includes a microphone and the charging coil both of these have calibration information.
Great video. Been using an iphone for years, tried switching to android but switched back. This year I don’t really got excited with minor upgrades on cameras etc. Those upgrades matter for those who don’t switch phones yearly. What excites me is the fact that it can run console level games and I hope developers will soon jump in. That will definitely change the gaming market for sure.
Can you use the sim card in USA for CDMA networks?
Still so stoked you came here to Australia! Love Chicken Crimpy!
im getting the 15 pro max. knowing the back glass breaks ALOT easier is a but offputting though
With Fairphone now promising 8 years of updates and Apple making repairs more and more difficult I’m starting to consider switching back to Android. One of the reasons I switched to iPhone was the long support but that’s not helping if it’s too expensive to repair the phones. They claim to support right to repair officially. I hope they actually do it in practice for next year’s phones.
They made the same promises when they were selling the Fairphone One and Two. And they kept their word. Until they didn't. Try finding a modern motherboard for the Fairphone One, try replacing your Fairphone Two screen for an oled one. They just pour a bucket of marketing sauce over the issue, telling you it's no longer viable to keep offering parts for that old a phone. That parts availability was the sales pitch when they sold it, now the opposite is? They are the same as all the others, they're the phone equivalent of the CO2 emissions protester that flies around the world to be there at every highway blockade.
I like the idea, but other than repairability, that phone is ass. Specs are kind of a let down especially at that price tbh, if they make a repairable premium phone then I'd be interested.
If Apple just made the phone thicker to the exact level the plastic bump ends surrounding the camera lens. That would allow for a larger battery and evenly flat backside down when on surface.
What I noticed is people with bad battery life are the ones who live all day on Social Media apps or play Gacha Games. A lot of social media apps run background tasks that murder your battery on both Android and iPhone.
Did you use battery saver mode or not?
Are you playing hypnotic bass frequencies in the background? 😂
Best review I have seen on IPhone 15 pro max..subscribed
Coming from a 13 ProMax, it will be a very nice update. 14 Pro Max owners shouldn't update unless the new zoom lens is your thang. You realize now with USB-C we can soon buy a case that will have a connector to a battery pack BUILT INTO it which will solve the batter issue, yes? USB-C opens lots of doors that were not available with the iPhone 14 models.
Anybody else have that issue, when making videos, lenses zoom from 1x to 5x switches very glitchy
Good post. No one who went to the event and got a review phone early is going to speak on this
The whole aspect on e-Waste was spot-on
