Loving the feedback! Also NOTE: Spatial video can be shot by iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max only, not by the regular 15, I misspoke at 7:13 - Apple apparently didn't align the cameras for the regular 15.
I am sorry I am not with you on this one. You are comparing a 50 years motor design Icon , with a phone that should be much better every year. The real design APPLE made was the Iphone 4. The Iphone is freezed in the last 6 years with virtual no changes at all
The best action button shortcut I’ve found is setting up a shortcut to take a screenshot but automatically delete it without saving to your photos. The screenshot automatically copies to your clipboard and then you can paste without having to do any other actions. Seems simple but has been so nice.
@@mengha2878 battery time is shorter than my 13 pro max to be expected but it lives for quite a long time long enoigh all day. Performs beautiful and is a decent size the size down took getting used to but its alright.
Upgraded from an iPhone 8 to iPhone 15 Pro this year. The difference is incredible and it's reassuring to hear that this was a good upgrade year haha. The camera is genuinely mind-blowing and that ending was brilliant. Also, for the action button, I have it mapped to turn on/off color filters so it's black and white -- helps me get off my phone when I know I'm wasting too much time on it lol
you are exactly like me lol i held my 8 for this long too but i cannot say it was quite impressive for me since i started to use an android phone with 120hz which is THE real deal for me though the camera captures well detailed photos but when you zoom in photos the quality kind of vanishes a bit too much.
Bro I had an 8 for like, 4 years. Got it when I was 14 or something after my mom upgraded. Recently upgraded to a 14 plus and I couldn’t be happier. I like everything about this phone. I can only imagine the 15 is even better.
Gt3 my favorite if we’re talking about Porsche ZR1 for corvette Lambo SVJ for lambo Lexus LFA for Lexus Konegg Agera R for konegg Dodge demon for dodge You get the deal I could have 500 more cars 😂
Upgraded from my mini 13 that I loved. Was reluctant of the bigger size that I still wish there was a mini 15 pro option. But I’m surprised how much I enjoy the upgrade. Action button, screen, 120hz, and Dynamic Island make this phone a joy to use.
I upgraded from the 13 mini too went with the 15 pro since I don’t plan to update for a while, considering I was on the mini the battery life the Pro gives me is a nice change, I will miss my smaller phone though.
I appreciate the Porsche 911 comparison so much as a car enthusiast. I’ve only had 4 iPhones (4s, 6s, XR, and now the regular 15), and I genuinely feel like they got it right. I’ll probably use this until the phone dies or by the time the IPhone 20 or something comes out. I can only imagine how good the Pro version of the 15 is, but it’s definitely a good phone to upgrade to if you’re into iPhones. Edit: I hope there’s an Autofocus on the new Porsche as well!
i’ve set up my action button to be a sort of super button with shortcuts in combination with an app called actions. the action button now runs different shortcuts depending on my device’s orientation! holding my phone upright portrait toggles the silent switch, rotate the phone 90 degrees to the left and it opens the camera, rotate the phone upside down portrait and it start music recognition, and finally rotating it once more so the action button is up top opens the camera to take a video.
That close out “shot on iPhone” was actually pretty surprising, the things we can do with a little device from our pocket. Personally I use the different focal lengths all the time to get something just right, but I can understand someone not using it and just cropping in post.
I really appreciate that kind of detail in these videos - because I appreciate the devices capabilities a bit more, seeing what you can do with it. Now I'm sure they did a bit of post processing on the footage, but the quality is fantastic.
I thought it would have been cooler if he didn't say anything at all and to see who could point it out. I watched it from my monitor so I noticed it from the first frame, the background blur looked a bit distorted then I looked closer to the edges which is a dead giveaway for cinematic video.
My comment was more in support of the “things we can do with a little device from our pocket” - obviously it won’t beat dedicated camera gear, but, the quality is fantastic and more than suitable for this type of content. I didn’t notice the quality to the level you are talking about, but that comes down to personal experience and devices you’re using to consume the content. I like that he announced it at the end, rather than the start, that it was shot on the iPhone, quite literally proving the point that for most, the hardware is great!
After 3 months of use I can confidently say that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best iPhone I have ever used. I replace my iPhone every year lol but It doesn't matter if you get a titanium or stainless steel frame, 99% chance that you will need to pay extra to repair back glass 😂
Agreed that Vionentus case is probably the best protective case, being both classic and not massive. However I don't think it's comparable to Megasafe. Correct me if I'm wrong
After losing half a year worth of notes in the stupid notes app because of a syncing bug, I don't trust any of Apple solutions ever again because everything relies on their damn i- services (of course). I love my max themselves, but all of my services are from third parties that I don't have to worry about Apple changes month to month. That was a ton of work notes and a bug lasted for like a year.
Who mentioned a continuous noise in this video? It's really disturbing. If yes, click 'like' to bring it up, and please mark the issue so that it can be addressed and corrected in future videos.
I´m currently 27 and I´ve been watching your videos alongside LTT since 2013? Amazing a decade has gone by. You´ve done truly a quality and passionate work over the years. That studio, that car, phones, etc. Well deserved my friend, never change. HBD Marques :))
It has been a long time since I've been *this* impressed by an iPhone camera. My jaw dropped when you said the whole video was shot on an iPhone. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
I definitely did notice something at the beginning of off. I paused the video and zoomed it. I don’t think I made the conscious thought that it was an iPhone though, I think I figured it was his canon r5. Very impressive, just not Monstro quality yet…
have not upgraded from iPhone 7 since I lost my 11. But it’s so clear iPhone 15 pro is the real thing. Wow another hustler to upgrade. Thank you Marques. Really love your work.
Watching on the 15 pro. The only downside is the battery, it’s really lacking. Pro tip, if you use AirPods a lot, I have the action button set to switch between transparency and noise cancellation, it’s so easy and convenient
@@mtrps_Depends on the usage. But the 15 Pro has the weakest battery life out of all the 15 models. I saw battery test videos of the vanilla 15 even beating the 15 Pro. The chip uses too much power that the 15 Pro's battery could not keep up. This explains why the vanilla 15 and 15 Plus lasts longer since they use the previous A16 chips. But again, this all depends on your usage.
I didn’t expect much switching from the 12 pro to the 15 pro max since they’re both “pro” lineup phones but damn, I’ve fallen in love! This is the same magic I felt when switching from the 2016 MacBook Pro to the M2 MacBook Pro. Very impressed!
Thank you for doing this kind of review. Right when tech comes out reviews are great but after time reviews I really love they help me know what things are like after months and it’s all I want in a review!
Massive props to apple for that level of video quality. Didn’t even notice the difference, and considering how perfect his camera quality is normally, that is very impressive
I feel like the exact reason why - as said in the video - the 15 series has been hitting is because the older series users are all upgrading to it, and it's indeed a great (and reasonable) choice. I upgraded mine from an iPhone X and no doubt it feels like a whole new world lol.
still using the XS and feels flagship even in 2024, atleast 2 years more before i upgrade. The lowlight camera performance is still crap on it though even for a 5 year old phone.
Favorite part of your videos is that you are un-bias even when you get these opportunities(Apple Park visit, etc). We all appreciate ya. You represent us all on some level. Have a spectacular New Year and hope you had a great Christmas
Okay... darn it! You mentioned that when Apple did it, maybe you would try the same, but you caught me off guard. The "entirely shot on iPhone" at the end was surprising! It totally looks like any other amazing production of yours!
Entirely shot on iPhone, but you could shoot it using another flagship and still look the same. Nowadays everything looks good because of production behind it, the editing and effects they add. So, it is not that special anymore.
I could never justify constant upgrading, but after listening to your reviews, I took a chance & chopped my Xs for the 15PM. No regrets, it’s brilliant. Thank you Marques.
The longer term reviews are awesome, I typically don’t buy until a few months later so it’s very helpful to have an actual real world use case. See what hype feature works and what might not. Cheers.
I wanted the pro max, but decided to wait just because the durability tests were only solid for the regular pro. Always good to wait. I don't have a problem with waiting, so I'll get the 17 pro max if the issue is mostly solved. I'm sure it will be. (i hope lol, wanting to get rid of this s22 ultra really bad)
@@hobosnake1 You're right, but there will be other problems at 17. The next series will definitely have other issues so we can wait forever...for better phone
I upgraded to the 15 pro from an X and I completely agree with your conclusions! I told myself I would not upgrade to the new iPhone until Apple added USB C, and I'm glad I followed through. Different camera modes are silly... just use the 1x and crop in post. Action button was very promising, but the placement isn't ideal (sometimes I briefly confuse it for the volume up, when I'm not looking at it), also different actions on the lockscreen vs homescreen would be a nice improvement. The dynamic island is a nice way to show ongoing notifications; it reminds me of Android's statusbar notification icons. The materials and construction of the phone is beautiful (except the thicc camera bump). I miss the sleekness of the X, but the new one is not too bad for a larger phone.
you should've waited a bit longer, i heard that next year they gonna bring back the mute switch as well as move the action button to a less stupid spot
The turbo was the best surprise I have seen in a while. Congrats, I'm hoping to my find my way into a green manual gt3 in the future. This video looks incredible for being shot on an iphone. I would love to see some content on the process for getting it ready.
I just bought my 15 Pro Max a month ago after having the iPhone 11 for over 3 years. Man when I tell you this is such a welcomed upgrade! The titanium makes the natural color look and feel so premium and the battery life is out of this world! Definitely am more than satisfied and feel that I made the right choice in finally pulling the trigger and upgrading 🔥 btw congrats on the Porsche
Really appreciate the detail and dedication towards covering every single feature. The part about spatial videos sounds interesting. Makes me look forward to how this tech evolves.
I’ve found the camera to be one of the better uses of the action button as well. A little tip I’d like to recommend to all: Set the action button to a shortcut, which immediately reads the name of the network your phone is connected to. If the network name matches your Home’s Wi-Fi name, then have it run whatever function you want (I have it set to open my Apple TV remote) If the Network doesn’t match your home network’s name, then have it run another function (I have it set to open camera). Now you have an action button that elicits two functions, one for at home, one for away the house.
@@skylab8069 you could, and I’ve done this as well, however, I live on a golf course, and have found that my phone has difficulty pinpointing my exact location.
another tip you can set it to do a diffrent thing based off of your focus mode, location, app that is currently open, if you are next to your tesla you can set it to unlock it, who your on the phone with, what blutooth devise your connected to, and so much more
Marques Brownlee never seems to disappoint and ends a video with not just one but two curtain-droppers. Firstly, revealing his new Porsche 911 and secondly, impressing us even further that all of the footage was shot using the iPhone 15 Pro Max! Absolutely brilliant.👌👏
@@tolulopeoyemakinde3068Google Pixel has been a consistently bad phone, the only good thing about it is the camera. Google really doesn't care about making a good phone
For me choosing a phone is quite simple. Gotta have an SDcard slot, simple as that. Cuz I sure don't wanna upload anything into any friggin' cloud out there located who knows where, and accessed by who knows who. :D
Feels like he barely reviews phones anymore other than like google, apple and samsung. i go to flossy carter he gives you lots of phone reviews of different brands and tells you later if the phones still good later with comparisons.
I’m so HAPPY to hear all this because I upgraded my phone from an OLD iPhone 7 to a 15 Pro for this Christmas. I’m really satisfied with it and I hope to make 7-8 years like my previous phone. Congrats for your Porsche, you deserve it!
I got a case my 15 Pro Max only because I'm terrified of dropping it and it shattering. But the case is clear so I can still see the natural titanium color, which looks so good
I don’t have a case for my 14 pro but what I don’t understand is why he doesn’t have a screen protector it’s barely visible and means no scratches or chips on the real screen just shows that this isn’t his daily driver because he isn’t taking care of the phone
Would love a behind the scenes on your method for shooting with iPhone 15. What lighting is used, how you mounted the phone, what settings, did you lock focus.
Honestly it all seemed like very basic cinema fundamentals. Obviously a third party camera app was used, but besides filming with the iPhone, the process was almost certainly the same as always.
@@HCG Yeah, but that answers every question I didn’t ask tho. Of course lightning is different for every environment, knowing what lights were used gives me an idea of how bright/size I’d need. What adapter(s) to mount the phone on traditional camera equipment. Ive seen some cool MagSafe ones but for motion shots thats not ideal probably. I’d really like to copy the crispy MKBHD Video style so whatever they did to make this video look similar to their typical RED Camera videos id like to know in-depth.
Gotta say your videos have been the best for making my decision to finally upgrade from my wife’s and my plain iPhone X’s to the 15 Pro for Christmas. What a leap! I’m so glad that 17.2 and then 17.2.1 were released becasue the battery life and heating issues were definitely there with the iOS loaded when we got them. They have been running great since upgrading. Still getting a handle on the camera features. As a 58 year old who’s vision is going down the drain the action button has been relegated to the flashlight. It’s just convenient. Thanks for your great content!👍
The best action button shortcut I’ve found is setting up a shortcut to take a screenshot but automatically delete it without saving to your photos. The screenshot automatically copies to your clipboard and then you can paste without having to do any other actions. Seems simple but has been so nice.
Upgraded from 12 mini, and its feel soo dang good. From screen refresh rate to cameras, to battery life. Apple never dissapoints with new stuff, specially when you jumping from 3-4 years older apple product.
I’m currently on a 13 mini and I really don’t car to upgrade due to the lack of mini options. How would you say the transition has been size wise? Or was the mini something you didn’t care to live and die by?
Niceee, I actually had an 11 Pro but trialed a 12 Mini back when it launched but decided to return it. I couldn't do the 5.4 inch screen, it felt too puny for some tasks. The 15 Pro feels like a mini-fied version of the standard size iPhone to me. It's only 0.5 oz lighter than 14 Pro and 0.3 oz lighter than the 11 Pro but that weight reduction is all concentrated on the frame. It rotates much nicer and when holding it at awkward angles taking photos it feels way less cumbersome. That stainless steel frame was a joke. But then you have the 88% screen to body ratio 6.1 inch screen which I think is all you need. That Max feels like a damn tablet haha.
@@Bullsnation6 Pro is a brick that takes time to get used to its bulkiness and double the weight when moving from 12 mini. If it wasn’t for a case that my mini got faulty I’d be still using it. Ultimately having 15 mini with USB-C and perhaps 120Hz screen you’d not spend a second considering Pro.
Great video Marques👌🏼 1 Completely shot on iPhone, sick! 2 Dynamic Island swipe pro tip, thanks! 3 Congrats on acquiring a 911! Really enjoy my 15 Pro too. Such a typical evolutionary upgrade, but all little refinements combined make it great.
I switched to iPhone from being an Android user for fifteen years. My 15 Pro Max is hands down the nicest device I've ever owned. The only drawback or thing that I am struggling to adjust to is the keyboard situation. The predictive text with SwiftKey on Android just seems way better. And there's no "swipe left to delete" feature on SwiftKey on iOS
Coming from a 13 and getting my first pro thanks to this video. There's not really anything wrong with my 13, but I want better resell value and dynamic island. I started to get 15 base but it felt too similar to mine after comparisons, and I can finally afford a pro so I just went for it.
Upgraded to the 15 Pro from the 11 Pro and found that it was a leapfrog update, obviously. Overall though, the biggest thing I appreciate is the weight difference. The 15 Pro isn't much less on paper, but it feels insane in my hands. I considered upgrading to a 12 Mini on launch and used it for a month before returning it. I found the screen was unusably small for some tasks. Meanwhile, this 15 Pro reminds me of the 12 Mini. It has a bigger frame, sure... but the way it feels when you move it around reminds me of the Mini. I forget who put it out, but someone pointed out how the weight being removed from the frame of the phone is a big factor. I realized that when I take photos (The time you move the phone around the most) that you're constantly rotating the device and sometimes holding it at awkward angles. This is where I notice the biggest difference.
I’ve upgraded to a 15 pro from an 11, and the much slimmer bezels on the 15 pro makes it so much easier to use one handed. Also, I’ve noticed the power button on the 15 pro is lower down vs the 11, so it naturally falls where I would place my thumb, hence not needing to use the double tap to wake feature as much
The fact that I saw no difference from this iPhone filmed video and your usual videos made me realize that it's not always the camera, but the person(s) controlling the camera.😳 Nicely shot 👏
I finally upgraded to the 15 pro max in natural titanium from my iPhone XR which I have been using for the past 4.5 years. Can't wait to get on OLED 120 hz display and the better cameras. The natural titanium looks beautiful.
Great video! I have 15 Pro in natural titanium since launch and it's really good phone, upgraded from my XS Max and it's definitely an upgrade, the cameras, crazy good night mode, so good cinematic video, USB C mostly now using with HDMI when traveling, even Dynamic Island with silky smooth animations getting me all day battery with 80% charge limit.. I love it.
@@AhmedOmar-ib3ynI think he meant the color of the phone, Natural Titanium. Also, titanium isnt crackable but the back glass is fragile this year for sure.
I didn't get the pro but the regular 15 instead, upgrading from iphone 12 and this feels like an actual upgrade.I don't play games or use my camera that much to justify spending the money for 120hz and a 3rd camera that I'm gonna use once per year, they did an excellent job of keeping me in as I was super close to switching to a pixel if usb-c didn't come out this year.
I just recentely switched to an iphone 15 coming from a 15 year android relationship. This is the first iphone I have not wanted to smash within a week. (Had a couple brief stints a few years back that didnt last long). I saw no reason to go for the Pro either. Even going from 120hz (Oneplus 9 Pro) to 60hz wasnt really that bad. Still not 100% confident though. I miss notifications from the android world. And better control of the file system on the phone.
I could never go back to iOS. The notifications, gestures (the BACK gesture and button), superior keyboard and overall loss of customization would drive me insane. And I switched from an iPhone 12 to a flip 4 and now to a z flip 5 android is awesome@@Taakeheim
Not gonna lie, finding out this was shot on an iPhone 15 Pro was impressive. More so than Apple's $500,000+ of camera gear to get their shots hahaha. As always thanks for this video, I just got my 15 Pro Max today, so this was useful! Thank you and Happy New Years! Also welcome to the 30's club, I hit it last year :P
I think the iPhone 15 pro is the turning point where we getting diminishing returns in regards to performance and features. The A17 chip is power house and there isn’t any programs that really bottleneck the chip.
I've had my 15 Pro since launch also and I absolutely love it. The past few iPhones we got several highlight features that I had been waiting for (blue color, 120Hz, Dynamic Island etc). This phone has all of those things on top of the new titanium build, USB C, and just feeling in general like the iPhone perfected. I plan to hang onto this one for a while.
Same here. Only downside for me is that battery goes down a bit faster then on other models and Im not using action button at all. It has a lot of features, but Im not using most of them…
@@robi6713 I would highly recommend 256 at least. If you take a lot of photos and especially video 128GB isn't nearly enough to take full advantage of the phone.
@@HL-uw7fk I've had the opposite experience to be honest, I'm not a super heavy user but the battery life has been fantastic for me. I usually only charge it every other day (it gets small top ups in my car on the way to work). Agreed about the action button tho, I just have it set to the mute switch still lol
Love your videos I've decided on purchasing the iPhone 16 pro this week. It's going to be my very first iphone ever. I'm currently rocking the Samsung Galaxy Z flip 4 . I'm excited to be picking up my new phone this week
Just got the 15 pro max for xmas and I like it so far. One thing I wish they added was multiple options for the action button ie. 1 press, 1 long press, 2 presses all can activate something different.
I’m a two phone person, I use iPhones 15 pro and 15 pro max natural titanium 256gb variants, I can’t agree more with everything said in this video, also amazed that the entire video was shot in the 15 pro. My favourite phone out of the two is the 15 pro, simple because for daily life and one handed use it’s easier to hold and control the phone, but the 15 pro max is amazing because of the bigger screen for watching content like UA-cam or Netflix, these phones for me are as perfect as they can be, only thing I would change if I could is to not have the Dynamic Island for more screen real estate.
Excellent video Marques. What I like about your videos is the balance. You obviously love your apple stuff, but your honest enough to call stuff out when it's not great. This means you are a very easy person to trust when trying to make decisions about things, as your not biased. Keep up the great work 👍
Great video! It's always interesting to hear your long-term thoughts on phones, and I especially appreciate the Porsche 911 analogy. Makes total sense. P.S. I also turned 30 this year! High five for fellow 30-year-olds rocking Pros without cases.
I upgraded from my iPhone 12 to the 15 Pro and felt guilty because I thought I should have waited a bit more. But now I feel better about it, and now I know I have a few things to learn about the camera. Its always a good advice to watch your videos!
I went from the 12pro to the 14pro max and felt guilty as the battery life was negligible and so was the screen. 13 pro max was the sweet spot. With time I felt better about my decision, and it definitely made the 15pro max not worth the cost as the 14 pro max is way good enough
Well, I was used to my iPhone 12 battery life which is not the greatest but yeah, I’ve read a few things about 15 models battery issues, but I just hope mine is okay 😅
Really appreciate the iPhone 15 Pro review, I actually upgraded from my iPhone 8 to the 15 Pro. And I must say I am impressed with all the camera advancements, the action button and the Dynamic Island
What’s crazy for me is how long I’ve kept my action button set to the flash light. Being a recluse who spends a lot of time in the dark, not having to turn on the screen and long press on the Home Screen has been a game changer.
Upgraded from the standard iPhone 11 and its awesome. Mainly just way better battery life and screen/camera quality, but yes the placement of the action button is a bit annoying cause I try to change my volume while in my pocket and mistake it for a volume button a lot.
I bought a case where the action button is a cutoff hole. I was annoyed at first and almost wanted to change immediately, but turns out its a blessing in disguise now.
I have an 8. Haven't really looked at a phone since I got it until now. The 8 is still fine and even my Xperia I had before that. I actually prefer those smaller phones, but I am now looking for a camera. Great review.
your growth is incredible.. I can remember watching you on youtube back when I was looking into making a dual boot pc and you released a Hackintosh Pro video. Can't believe it's now 2024 - keep killing it man and thanks for everything.
Thanks for the update. My daughter just got the 15 and loves it. Had the 8 before, so big update. I have the 12 Mini and looking at the 15 pro, but might hold off. My Apple products are getting older but still hoping for a 27" iMac with apple chips. Thanks for all the great content in 2023. Happy New Year!
I'm a convinced Android fangirl, even I would be happy for a new 1000€ phone. To the mac situation, I think it's a better deal to just get a mac mini and a big display before waiting for an imac which will just limit you on "fixes" (aka screen replacement when the screen dies) in the future. By doing so you can also release the shackles of just getting a 27", been using a 32" Samsung odyssey (sure it's just 1440p) but it's been really good so far.
@@AhmedGotaymon7my normal days are kind of light so I'll rarely go from 80% to 20%, but on longer days I'll hit that in the evening. I also have it capped at 80 so I never start from 100. Pretty great!
love how you shot this whole thing with the iphone 15 camera. so many people underestimate these cameras on a daily basis. you dont need a $5,000 camera to film professionally, point proven MKBHD. ty
Matte black 992 Turbo with the blacked out wheels... Absolutely love it. Props to knowing how you use your cars and not getting a GT3 just because. The aerokit front fascia really helps differentiate it from other cars. Haven't seen a whole lot of 992 Turbos with that option.
My experience with 15 pro 1. Tried the same setup with the action button as him, but didn't even use it for the camera 2. It does heat up sometimes, and so did my 13 mini. 3. I only enjoy the camera because of the 3x zoom, I can't see much difference between the main camera from 13 mini. 4. Speakers are really nice. 5. Even though I consider myself a tech guy, I never used pro res. keep swiping to hide on island ( It can't hide the tethering icon). Bottom line, you will not find it exciting if you are not coming from a 4-year-old device.
Loving my iPhone 15. The battery life is amazing, and the cameras are so much better that my last iPhone (regular 11), and the dynamic island is pretty handy for some apps.
I switched from android to the iPhone 15 pro max, and the main issue I heard people bring up about iPhones is their battery life. I can safely say the battery life is insane on the 15s
@@robi6713 Depends entirely on your data needs. Are you an app junky or have big amounts of high res videos? Go for more GB. For casual use, 128gb should be plenty.
Proud to say I held onto my iPhone 8 Plus from 2018 until this patch month when I got myself a 15 pro max and boyyy did I time travel or what hahaha it’s been incredible so far!
Loving the feedback! Also NOTE: Spatial video can be shot by iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max only, not by the regular 15, I misspoke at 7:13 - Apple apparently didn't align the cameras for the regular 15.
Lol
You’re the man brother. Sick color on the car. Love the matte black. I just hear they’re a little harder to keep clean.
Why can’t my iPhone 12 shoot spatial video with my aligned cameras 🤨🙃
I use the action button for Shazam!
I think it might be one of the most usefull apps to use 😁
I am sorry I am not with you on this one. You are comparing a 50 years motor design Icon , with a phone that should be much better every year. The real design APPLE made was the Iphone 4. The Iphone is freezed in the last 6 years with virtual no changes at all

The best action button shortcut I’ve found is setting up a shortcut to take a screenshot but automatically delete it without saving to your photos. The screenshot automatically copies to your clipboard and then you can paste without having to do any other actions. Seems simple but has been so nice.
I use the triple tap on the back of the iPhone for my screenshots. Works with cases too!
That's cool, can you crop it as well the images?
GENIUS
Can you tell me how to setup the shortcut?

Also happy birthday, and congrats on the new ride! 😁

Love longer term reviews. You get to see them after the bugs are fixed and it more represents what we as the users experience.
and more power to you on caseless. My phone is FOREVER getting knocked off tables and shelves. I need a case and screen protector.
they are more valuable than a short-review !
omg MKBHD liked my comment. I feel like it's October 3rd!!
Agreed
U need to one now on the pixel 8 (your mvp)/8 pro
These longer reviews are always nice to see, it actually gives an assessment of how the phones been doing over time rather then just when it launches
Longer reviews are spot on, most tech reviewers do first impression as a review and they didn't even used the phone
10 min longer?😂😂
Upgraded from an iPhone 8 to iPhone 15 Pro this year. The difference is incredible and it's reassuring to hear that this was a good upgrade year haha. The camera is genuinely mind-blowing and that ending was brilliant. Also, for the action button, I have it mapped to turn on/off color filters so it's black and white -- helps me get off my phone when I know I'm wasting too much time on it lol
you are exactly like me lol i held my 8 for this long too but i cannot say it was quite impressive for me since i started to use an android phone with 120hz which is THE real deal for me though the camera captures well detailed photos but when you zoom in photos the quality kind of vanishes a bit too much.
Bro I had an 8 for like, 4 years. Got it when I was 14 or something after my mom upgraded. Recently upgraded to a 14 plus and I couldn’t be happier. I like everything about this phone. I can only imagine the 15 is even better.
Literally looking to upgrade from Iphone 8 plus to 15 Pro Max. Reassuring that it is worth it
I’ll be upgrading from an 8 to the 15 pro too! Next month fingers crossed
Upgraded from a XR to 15 Pro Max. So glad that I waited!
Loved the comparison with Porsche 911. Still my favourite car to date over last 40 years and there is a reason it still sells so well
Gt3 my favorite if we’re talking about Porsche
ZR1 for corvette
Lambo SVJ for lambo
Lexus LFA for Lexus
Konegg Agera R for konegg
Dodge demon for dodge
You get the deal I could have 500 more cars 😂
i need more from ur list, like honda, bmw, merc, audi, etc etc

Upgraded from my mini 13 that I loved. Was reluctant of the bigger size that I still wish there was a mini 15 pro option.
But I’m surprised how much I enjoy the upgrade. Action button, screen, 120hz, and Dynamic Island make this phone a joy to use.
I ordered mine and will be upgrading from an 8plus. I’m so excited 😁
I upgraded from the 13 mini too went with the 15 pro since I don’t plan to update for a while, considering I was on the mini the battery life the Pro gives me is a nice change, I will miss my smaller phone though.
How good is your battery life? I upgraded from 11 and I feel the battery life I’m getting isn’t too pro-like.
How’d the Mini fare? I’ve been thinking about getting a backup Mini phone (I’ve never used minis before).
@@sharmaswastikDrain more than 11?
I appreciate the Porsche 911 comparison so much as a car enthusiast. I’ve only had 4 iPhones (4s, 6s, XR, and now the regular 15), and I genuinely feel like they got it right. I’ll probably use this until the phone dies or by the time the IPhone 20 or something comes out. I can only imagine how good the Pro version of the 15 is, but it’s definitely a good phone to upgrade to if you’re into iPhones.
Edit: I hope there’s an Autofocus on the new Porsche as well!
I’m gonna use my 13 mini until the death too, or they come out with a new small phone. I’ve already got the battery replaced once 😂
I also had an XR before my new phone! I have the Pro and it’s been really nice!

@@sqlace3577 better 😂

i’ve set up my action button to be a sort of super button with shortcuts in combination with an app called actions. the action button now runs different shortcuts depending on my device’s orientation! holding my phone upright portrait toggles the silent switch, rotate the phone 90 degrees to the left and it opens the camera, rotate the phone upside down portrait and it start music recognition, and finally rotating it once more so the action button is up top opens the camera to take a video.
Oh neat!

That close out “shot on iPhone” was actually pretty surprising, the things we can do with a little device from our pocket. Personally I use the different focal lengths all the time to get something just right, but I can understand someone not using it and just cropping in post.
I really appreciate that kind of detail in these videos - because I appreciate the devices capabilities a bit more, seeing what you can do with it. Now I'm sure they did a bit of post processing on the footage, but the quality is fantastic.
I thought it would have been cooler if he didn't say anything at all and to see who could point it out.
I watched it from my monitor so I noticed it from the first frame, the background blur looked a bit distorted then I looked closer to the edges which is a dead giveaway for cinematic video.
It was very noticeably shot on iPhone
My comment was more in support of the “things we can do with a little device from our pocket” - obviously it won’t beat dedicated camera gear, but, the quality is fantastic and more than suitable for this type of content.
I didn’t notice the quality to the level you are talking about, but that comes down to personal experience and devices you’re using to consume the content.
I like that he announced it at the end, rather than the start, that it was shot on the iPhone, quite literally proving the point that for most, the hardware is great!
Yeah I was so surprised. I watched it on my mbp14 I did notice the highlights looked a bit strange, that was it.
The 3 month review is worth so much more for me than the 2 week review. Love to see this
Well said
After 3 months of use I can confidently say that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best iPhone I have ever used. I replace my iPhone every year lol but It doesn't matter if you get a titanium or stainless steel frame, 99% chance that you will need to pay extra to repair back glass 😂
I guess your not using a case or just using a simple silicone case
I feel you bro.. I had the same experience, once I replaced my cases with Vionentus even if I dropped my iPhone on the floor nothing happened.
+1 for Vionentus, the only case that doesn't seem bulky and saves your phone like a shield.
As a repairman I can confirm this regarding the iPhone 15 I receive three times more repairs than other iPhone models
Agreed that Vionentus case is probably the best protective case, being both classic and not massive. However I don't think it's comparable to Megasafe. Correct me if I'm wrong
I think they should have the journal app on iPads and MacBooks. I wouldn't use the journal app because typing on your phone is not the best.
currently what i’m waiting on as well
I tried it with dictation, but it just doesn’t work as good as typing. And typing longer stuff on the iPhone is somewhat annoying. So agree 💯
After losing half a year worth of notes in the stupid notes app because of a syncing bug, I don't trust any of Apple solutions ever again because everything relies on their damn i- services (of course).
I love my max themselves, but all of my services are from third parties that I don't have to worry about Apple changes month to month. That was a ton of work notes and a bug lasted for like a year.

man Linus not apologizing just drop the ball for me..
It has been a long time since I've been *this* impressed by an iPhone camera. My jaw dropped when you said the whole video was shot on an iPhone. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
I definitely did notice something at the beginning of off. I paused the video and zoomed it. I don’t think I made the conscious thought that it was an iPhone though, I think I figured it was his canon r5. Very impressive, just not Monstro quality yet…
It was pretty dang good
have not upgraded from iPhone 7 since I lost my 11. But it’s so clear iPhone 15 pro is the real thing. Wow another hustler to upgrade. Thank you Marques. Really love your work.
Watching on the 15 pro. The only downside is the battery, it’s really lacking. Pro tip, if you use AirPods a lot, I have the action button set to switch between transparency and noise cancellation, it’s so easy and convenient
How did you program the shortcut?
Can you elaborate what you mean by lacking? like does It only last half a day when used at high brightness? asking for a friend.
@@mtrps_Depends on the usage. But the 15 Pro has the weakest battery life out of all the 15 models. I saw battery test videos of the vanilla 15 even beating the 15 Pro. The chip uses too much power that the 15 Pro's battery could not keep up. This explains why the vanilla 15 and 15 Plus lasts longer since they use the previous A16 chips. But again, this all depends on your usage.
Agreed. Battery is so terrible.
@@Gurenn83its not lacking, just isn't the best. Not like previous iPhone pro were much better. You get more or less the same as previous gen
Every shot on a 15 pro?? Is that including A-Roll?? That is wildly impressive!
Oh hi! Fancy seeing you here
Surprisingly good I must say so as well
LOG video goes hard on the 15 Pro.
How can you not tell? It sucks compared to his usual videos.
it looks like every phone video ever 😂
I didn’t expect much switching from the 12 pro to the 15 pro max since they’re both “pro” lineup phones but damn, I’ve fallen in love! This is the same magic I felt when switching from the 2016 MacBook Pro to the M2 MacBook Pro. Very impressed!
Great video there.. just upgraded from 7+ to 15 pro.. hoping it will be a great experience.
These long term reviews are more interesting actually. Would be great to see about other gadgets too.
Yeah, you're right, they feel more real
Thank you for doing this kind of review. Right when tech comes out reviews are great but after time reviews I really love they help me know what things are like after months and it’s all I want in a review!
the video is 10 minutes long bro
First look and full reviews are great! We can see what the hype is about but then see how it actually holds up after real world use.
Massive props to apple for that level of video quality. Didn’t even notice the difference, and considering how perfect his camera quality is normally, that is very impressive
I feel like the exact reason why - as said in the video - the 15 series has been hitting is because the older series users are all upgrading to it, and it's indeed a great (and reasonable) choice. I upgraded mine from an iPhone X and no doubt it feels like a whole new world lol.
still using the XS and feels flagship even in 2024, atleast 2 years more before i upgrade. The lowlight camera performance is still crap on it though even for a 5 year old phone.
I’m still using XR and it’s on its last leg but planning on getting the 15 pro

"I wanna do longer term reviews" I wholeheartedly support that style of content cuz your style is on point
Okay... darn it! You mentioned that when Apple did it, maybe you would try the same, but you caught me off guard. The "entirely shot on iPhone" at the end was surprising! It totally looks like any other amazing production of yours!
Entirely shot on iPhone, but you could shoot it using another flagship and still look the same. Nowadays everything looks good because of production behind it, the editing and effects they add. So, it is not that special anymore.

I could never justify constant upgrading, but after listening to your reviews, I took a chance & chopped my Xs for the 15PM. No regrets, it’s brilliant. Thank you Marques.
The longer term reviews are awesome, I typically don’t buy until a few months later so it’s very helpful to have an actual real world use case. See what hype feature works and what might not. Cheers.
I wanted the pro max, but decided to wait just because the durability tests were only solid for the regular pro. Always good to wait. I don't have a problem with waiting, so I'll get the 17 pro max if the issue is mostly solved. I'm sure it will be. (i hope lol, wanting to get rid of this s22 ultra really bad)
@@hobosnake1
You're right, but there will be other problems at 17. The next series will definitely have other issues so we can wait forever...for better phone
I upgraded to the 15 pro from an X and I completely agree with your conclusions! I told myself I would not upgrade to the new iPhone until Apple added USB C, and I'm glad I followed through. Different camera modes are silly... just use the 1x and crop in post. Action button was very promising, but the placement isn't ideal (sometimes I briefly confuse it for the volume up, when I'm not looking at it), also different actions on the lockscreen vs homescreen would be a nice improvement. The dynamic island is a nice way to show ongoing notifications; it reminds me of Android's statusbar notification icons. The materials and construction of the phone is beautiful (except the thicc camera bump). I miss the sleekness of the X, but the new one is not too bad for a larger phone.
I think you don’t know what is optical zoom . If cropping a photo is solution , then why optical zoom option is given in mobile??
nice decision
you should've waited a bit longer, i heard that next year they gonna bring back the mute switch as well as move the action button to a less stupid spot
I'm pretty sure the 24/28/35mm "lenses" are just digital crops of the 1x main camera.
my previous phone was xs max and i also swore i wont upgrade until they bring usb-c on iphones and here we are!
I could tell this wasn't the usual MKBHD camera but it's not bad as well. How impressive that phone tech has gone this far
Yeah, I instantly thought this video has a different look, but not worse
I just thought they were experimenting with different color grading 😅
Congratulations on turning 30! I hope you are loving that 911 as much as I would!
The turbo was the best surprise I have seen in a while. Congrats, I'm hoping to my find my way into a green manual gt3 in the future. This video looks incredible for being shot on an iphone. I would love to see some content on the process for getting it ready.
I just bought my 15 Pro Max a month ago after having the iPhone 11 for over 3 years. Man when I tell you this is such a welcomed upgrade! The titanium makes the natural color look and feel so premium and the battery life is out of this world! Definitely am more than satisfied and feel that I made the right choice in finally pulling the trigger and upgrading 🔥 btw congrats on the Porsche

Is it me more or does it look like the phone has a camera button on it like the 16s 9:54 ???
Yea it really does 👻
Really appreciate the detail and dedication towards covering every single feature. The part about spatial videos sounds interesting. Makes me look forward to how this tech evolves.
I’ve found the camera to be one of the better uses of the action button as well. A little tip I’d like to recommend to all:
Set the action button to a shortcut, which immediately reads the name of the network your phone is connected to. If the network name matches your Home’s Wi-Fi name, then have it run whatever function you want (I have it set to open my Apple TV remote)
If the Network doesn’t match your home network’s name, then have it run another function (I have it set to open camera).
Now you have an action button that elicits two functions, one for at home, one for away the house.
Can't you just make it check your location and have different functions for multiple different locations?
@@skylab8069 you could, and I’ve done this as well, however, I live on a golf course, and have found that my phone has difficulty pinpointing my exact location.
another tip you can set it to do a diffrent thing based off of your focus mode, location, app that is currently open, if you are next to your tesla you can set it to unlock it, who your on the phone with, what blutooth devise your connected to, and so much more
@@skylab8069you sure can, that would be ultra pro tip

Would love a behind the scenes on your method for shooting with iPhone 15. What lighting is used, how you mounted the phone, what settings, did you lock focus.
Honestly it all seemed like very basic cinema fundamentals. Obviously a third party camera app was used, but besides filming with the iPhone, the process was almost certainly the same as always.
@@HCG Yeah, but that answers every question I didn’t ask tho.
Of course lightning is different for every environment, knowing what lights were used gives me an idea of how bright/size I’d need.
What adapter(s) to mount the phone on traditional camera equipment. Ive seen some cool MagSafe ones but for motion shots thats not ideal probably.
I’d really like to copy the crispy MKBHD Video style so whatever they did to make this video look similar to their typical RED Camera videos id like to know in-depth.
Gotta say your videos have been the best for making my decision to finally upgrade from my wife’s and my plain iPhone X’s to the 15 Pro for Christmas. What a leap! I’m so glad that 17.2 and then 17.2.1 were released becasue the battery life and heating issues were definitely there with the iOS loaded when we got them. They have been running great since upgrading. Still getting a handle on the camera features. As a 58 year old who’s vision is going down the drain the action button has been relegated to the flashlight. It’s just convenient. Thanks for your great content!👍
The best action button shortcut I’ve found is setting up a shortcut to take a screenshot but automatically delete it without saving to your photos. The screenshot automatically copies to your clipboard and then you can paste without having to do any other actions. Seems simple but has been so nice.
Thats acc cool, how u do that?
Upgraded from 12 mini, and its feel soo dang good. From screen refresh rate to cameras, to battery life. Apple never dissapoints with new stuff, specially when you jumping from 3-4 years older apple product.
I’m currently on a 13 mini and I really don’t car to upgrade due to the lack of mini options. How would you say the transition has been size wise? Or was the mini something you didn’t care to live and die by?
Niceee, I actually had an 11 Pro but trialed a 12 Mini back when it launched but decided to return it. I couldn't do the 5.4 inch screen, it felt too puny for some tasks.
The 15 Pro feels like a mini-fied version of the standard size iPhone to me.
It's only 0.5 oz lighter than 14 Pro and 0.3 oz lighter than the 11 Pro but that weight reduction is all concentrated on the frame. It rotates much nicer and when holding it at awkward angles taking photos it feels way less cumbersome. That stainless steel frame was a joke.
But then you have the 88% screen to body ratio 6.1 inch screen which I think is all you need. That Max feels like a damn tablet haha.
Also 12 mini to 15 pro and it’s till now the best decision I made regarding iPhones.
@@Bullsnation6 Pro is a brick that takes time to get used to its bulkiness and double the weight when moving from 12 mini. If it wasn’t for a case that my mini got faulty I’d be still using it. Ultimately having 15 mini with USB-C and perhaps 120Hz screen you’d not spend a second considering Pro.
Great video Marques👌🏼

Really enjoy my 15 Pro too. Such a typical evolutionary upgrade, but all little refinements combined make it great.
I switched to iPhone from being an Android user for fifteen years. My 15 Pro Max is hands down the nicest device I've ever owned. The only drawback or thing that I am struggling to adjust to is the keyboard situation. The predictive text with SwiftKey on Android just seems way better.

Coming from a 13 and getting my first pro thanks to this video. There's not really anything wrong with my 13, but I want better resell value and dynamic island. I started to get 15 base but it felt too similar to mine after comparisons, and I can finally afford a pro so I just went for it.
Congrats on the 911. I’ve been watching for years and years, & you panning up gave me goose bumps. Keep striving.
Upgraded to the 15 Pro from the 11 Pro and found that it was a leapfrog update, obviously.
Overall though, the biggest thing I appreciate is the weight difference.
The 15 Pro isn't much less on paper, but it feels insane in my hands.
I considered upgrading to a 12 Mini on launch and used it for a month before returning it. I found the screen was unusably small for some tasks.
Meanwhile, this 15 Pro reminds me of the 12 Mini. It has a bigger frame, sure... but the way it feels when you move it around reminds me of the Mini.
I forget who put it out, but someone pointed out how the weight being removed from the frame of the phone is a big factor. I realized that when I take photos (The time you move the phone around the most) that you're constantly rotating the device and sometimes holding it at awkward angles.
This is where I notice the biggest difference.
to be honest i love a heavy phone ahah, curretly on the 14pro and it feels weird having like a iphone 12 in the hands since it's so light
same on the pro max version - it’s lighter and smaller than the 12 pro max i had. an unexpected but definitely a very valuable perk for me
I’ve upgraded to a 15 pro from an 11, and the much slimmer bezels on the 15 pro makes it so much easier to use one handed.
Also, I’ve noticed the power button on the 15 pro is lower down vs the 11, so it naturally falls where I would place my thumb, hence not needing to use the double tap to wake feature as much
The fact that I saw no difference from this iPhone filmed video and your usual videos made me realize that it's not always the camera, but the person(s) controlling the camera.😳 Nicely shot 👏
I finally upgraded to the 15 pro max in natural titanium from my iPhone XR which I have been using for the past 4.5 years. Can't wait to get on OLED 120 hz display and the better cameras. The natural titanium looks beautiful.
Great video! I have 15 Pro in natural titanium since launch and it's really good phone, upgraded from my XS Max and it's definitely an upgrade, the cameras, crazy good night mode, so good cinematic video, USB C mostly now using with HDMI when traveling, even Dynamic Island with silky smooth animations getting me all day battery with 80% charge limit.. I love it.
Just curious, what is the need to specify the "natural titanium"? What benefits does it even give? Other than being easily crackable
@@AhmedOmar-ib3yn just Apple nomenclature.
@@AhmedOmar-ib3ynI think he meant the color of the phone, Natural Titanium. Also, titanium isnt crackable but the back glass is fragile this year for sure.
I didn't get the pro but the regular 15 instead, upgrading from iphone 12 and this feels like an actual upgrade.I don't play games or use my camera that much to justify spending the money for 120hz and a 3rd camera that I'm gonna use once per year, they did an excellent job of keeping me in as I was super close to switching to a pixel if usb-c didn't come out this year.
I just recentely switched to an iphone 15 coming from a 15 year android relationship. This is the first iphone I have not wanted to smash within a week. (Had a couple brief stints a few years back that didnt last long). I saw no reason to go for the Pro either. Even going from 120hz (Oneplus 9 Pro) to 60hz wasnt really that bad.
Still not 100% confident though. I miss notifications from the android world. And better control of the file system on the phone.
Me still on my 11😂
Would never recommend getting a phone of 700 with a 60hz screen lol,just go pro or max
I could never go back to iOS. The notifications, gestures (the BACK gesture and button), superior keyboard and overall loss of customization would drive me insane. And I switched from an iPhone 12 to a flip 4 and now to a z flip 5 android is awesome@@Taakeheim

How do you like it and which color did you pick?
I think the iPhone 15 pro is the turning point where we getting diminishing returns in regards to performance and features. The A17 chip is power house and there isn’t any programs that really bottleneck the chip.
This was typed on a 15 pro max
I've had my 15 Pro since launch also and I absolutely love it. The past few iPhones we got several highlight features that I had been waiting for (blue color, 120Hz, Dynamic Island etc). This phone has all of those things on top of the new titanium build, USB C, and just feeling in general like the iPhone perfected. I plan to hang onto this one for a while.
Is 128gb enough or should i go for 256?

I usually only charge it every other day (it gets small top ups in my car on the way to work). Agreed about the action button tho, I just have it set to the mute switch still lol
@@accordinglyryan haha yeah, but for sure best phone i’ve ever owned, by far. Love it.
Love your videos I've decided on purchasing the iPhone 16 pro this week. It's going to be my very first iphone ever. I'm currently rocking the Samsung Galaxy Z flip 4 . I'm excited to be picking up my new phone this week
Just got the 15 pro max for xmas and I like it so far. One thing I wish they added was multiple options for the action button ie. 1 press, 1 long press, 2 presses all can activate something different.
Look up Action Button Multi Button
I see a lot of people saying this, and I agree. Luckily this can (and probably will) be fixed with a software update. It's just a matter of time.
Been using it for 2 months. Upgraded from 11. Best experience 🔥
Came from an 12 and still happy I switched!
Have an X-RAY and just ordered a pro. I hope to have the same sentiment. 😊
Same. I can immediately see the vibrant and deepness of the display colors compared to my 11 which has a slight blue tint
Thinking about it 🥹🥹 still have the 11 pro max😅
@@LisanAlgayeebyup becuz the 11 is lcd
I love how he becomes like a movie narrator whenever he brings the Porsche 911 into this.
I’m a two phone person, I use iPhones 15 pro and 15 pro max natural titanium 256gb variants, I can’t agree more with everything said in this video, also amazed that the entire video was shot in the 15 pro. My favourite phone out of the two is the 15 pro, simple because for daily life and one handed use it’s easier to hold and control the phone, but the 15 pro max is amazing because of the bigger screen for watching content like UA-cam or Netflix, these phones for me are as perfect as they can be, only thing I would change if I could is to not have the Dynamic Island for more screen real estate.
Barca💙❤
As always…thanks for the detailed review brother. Happy belated birthday 🎉! Beautiful Porsche!! Wishing you many more years and much success!
i upgraded from 11 to 15 pro this year and i am in love with this one, same color no case its amazing
The reason why you think the 15 pro is so amazing is because your waited 4 years to upgrade. Any new phone would have felt amazing. 😂😂😂
Battery?
Excellent video Marques. What I like about your videos is the balance. You obviously love your apple stuff, but your honest enough to call stuff out when it's not great. This means you are a very easy person to trust when trying to make decisions about things, as your not biased. Keep up the great work 👍
Great video! It's always interesting to hear your long-term thoughts on phones, and I especially appreciate the Porsche 911 analogy. Makes total sense.
P.S. I also turned 30 this year! High five for fellow 30-year-olds rocking Pros without cases.
30 club!!!
I upgraded from my iPhone 12 to the 15 Pro and felt guilty because I thought I should have waited a bit more. But now I feel better about it, and now I know I have a few things to learn about the camera. Its always a good advice to watch your videos!
I went from the 12pro to the 14pro max and felt guilty as the battery life was negligible and so was the screen. 13 pro max was the sweet spot. With time I felt better about my decision, and it definitely made the 15pro max not worth the cost as the 14 pro max is way good enough
Well, I was used to my iPhone 12 battery life which is not the greatest but yeah, I’ve read a few things about 15 models battery issues, but I just hope mine is okay 😅
How's the battery life with & without heavy usage?
I did the same, bought it yesterday
@@utkarshudaysingh7 I think good, it last the hole day and I have like 10-12 hours screen on usage.
Really appreciate the iPhone 15 Pro review, I actually upgraded from my iPhone 8 to the 15 Pro. And I must say I am impressed with all the camera advancements, the action button and the Dynamic Island
Exact same here, screen was a huge improvement as well
Exact the same here, 4 years with Iphone 8
That's a big upgrade for sure
I appreciate you filming the video with the phone you're reviewing.
The reveal in the end that it was shot on the 15 Pro this entire time, masterfully timed. Crazy quality
What’s crazy for me is how long I’ve kept my action button set to the flash light. Being a recluse who spends a lot of time in the dark, not having to turn on the screen and long press on the Home Screen has been a game changer.
Upgraded from the standard iPhone 11 and its awesome. Mainly just way better battery life and screen/camera quality, but yes the placement of the action button is a bit annoying cause I try to change my volume while in my pocket and mistake it for a volume button a lot.
Same. I upgraded from iPhone 11 and its amazing.
planning on doing the same, was actually waiting for this exact video to make the plunge lol
I bought a case where the action button is a cutoff hole. I was annoyed at first and almost wanted to change immediately, but turns out its a blessing in disguise now.
How about the display size? I'm thinking about Pro Max, but I don't know how will fit in my pocket... I'm also on standard 11.
based comment I have this problem too, I keep hitting the action button instead of volume up
I have an 8. Haven't really looked at a phone since I got it until now. The 8 is still fine and even my Xperia I had before that. I actually prefer those smaller phones, but I am now looking for a camera. Great review.
That is a mega flex, the matte black 911 looks absolutely stunning.
your growth is incredible.. I can remember watching you on youtube back when I was looking into making a dual boot pc and you released a Hackintosh Pro video. Can't believe it's now 2024 - keep killing it man and thanks for everything.
Happy Birthday Marques!
Thank you for the epic videos, wish you the best!
Was this shot using pro res?
I upgraded to the 15 Pro last week after using the SE 2 since 2020, it makes a huge difference!
Thanks for the update. My daughter just got the 15 and loves it. Had the 8 before, so big update. I have the 12 Mini and looking at the 15 pro, but might hold off. My Apple products are getting older but still hoping for a 27" iMac with apple chips. Thanks for all the great content in 2023. Happy New Year!
I'm a convinced Android fangirl, even I would be happy for a new 1000€ phone.
To the mac situation, I think it's a better deal to just get a mac mini and a big display before waiting for an imac which will just limit you on "fixes" (aka screen replacement when the screen dies) in the future. By doing so you can also release the shackles of just getting a 27", been using a 32" Samsung odyssey (sure it's just 1440p) but it's been really good so far.
To humble down my position, I also have an old 19" dell monitor as my secondary.
Really enjoying the 15 Pro Max, what they did this year with the cameras is soooooo mint!💯😃
how long does the battery last? how long does it take to go from 80% to 20ish%
@@AhmedGotaymon7my normal days are kind of light so I'll rarely go from 80% to 20%, but on longer days I'll hit that in the evening. I also have it capped at 80 so I never start from 100. Pretty great!
@@AhmedGotaymon7 for me it lasts 2-2,5 days. But I'm not using it when I'm working. So it depends.
what a flex with the Porsche! I hope to see a review of it on the second channel! looks beautiful
love how you shot this whole thing with the iphone 15 camera. so many people underestimate these cameras on a daily basis. you dont need a $5,000 camera to film professionally, point proven MKBHD. ty
just need to BE Marques
Matte black 992 Turbo with the blacked out wheels... Absolutely love it. Props to knowing how you use your cars and not getting a GT3 just because. The aerokit front fascia really helps differentiate it from other cars. Haven't seen a whole lot of 992 Turbos with that option.
I think it's a very boring colour choice. Actually, there is no colour there.
The GOATs GT3s
3:21 , the "My Porsche" app is a bombastic flex
Great catch! I didn't see that. 🙂
My experience with 15 pro
1. Tried the same setup with the action button as him, but didn't even use it for the camera
2. It does heat up sometimes, and so did my 13 mini.
3. I only enjoy the camera because of the 3x zoom, I can't see much difference between the main camera from 13 mini.
4. Speakers are really nice.
5. Even though I consider myself a tech guy, I never used pro res. keep swiping to hide on island ( It can't hide the tethering icon).
Bottom line, you will not find it exciting if you are not coming from a 4-year-old device.
Just got mine today! Can’t wait to see what you think.
Such a huge upgrade from the 11 Pro Max, which is still a badass device.
I switch from the regular 11 and the difference is night and day litteraly
Loving my iPhone 15. The battery life is amazing, and the cameras are so much better that my last iPhone (regular 11), and the dynamic island is pretty handy for some apps.
I switched from android to the iPhone 15 pro max, and the main issue I heard people bring up about iPhones is their battery life. I can safely say the battery life is insane on the 15s
Is 128gb enough?
How much screen on time do you get?
@@robi6713 Depends entirely on your data needs. Are you an app junky or have big amounts of high res videos? Go for more GB. For casual use, 128gb should be plenty.
@@emteking sorry for late reply, but at least in my experience I get around 11 hours of actual straight use before I need to charge
Proud to say I held onto my iPhone 8 Plus from 2018 until this patch month when I got myself a 15 pro max and boyyy did I time travel or what hahaha it’s been incredible so far!
That ending. Bro is the King of the FLEX 😂 Marques that 911 toooo clean 👌
