Nope dude, for the second time, there is a camera difference too (this time it’s zoom range only, last time, for 12 pro and pro max, it was all over the camera setup )
I did try a Pro Max this time. I just couldn’t get used to it. I ended up returning it and exchanging it for the smaller Pro. I’m very happy I did. I love the smaller Pro it’s so much easier to use one handed as I have short sausage fingers. I may eventually commit fully to the Max, but for now, I love the 6.1” Pro.
It looks like a time to introduce micro SD card slot in iPhone. Apple already did a small step forward adding USB-C, so micro SD card slot won't be so awkward.
Wow, it's a little weird you only got 3 hours of screen active time with 100%. I get about 4:30-5:30 hours of screen active time with the 15 pro and i only use about 50-60% of the battery... I guess i'm not a heavy user after all hahah
This year I went with the Pro and 512GB. Coming from the mini it was a huge upgrade for many reasons. I really like the size, the weight and the dynamic island so much. I can still use 1 hand for most tasks. The battery life is impressive! With that mini I had to charge and re-charge my phone multiple times a day.The blue color is 🔥
I think the pro max has a natural draw due to the large screen and battery life, but for me not very practical day to day, and you notice this more as time goes on. I personally prefer being able to use the phone one handed and value something not bulging out of my trousers every time I walk out the door. The pro is the way to go!
Also had a pro max, was happy with batter and screens size but as time goes, it was so inconvneient to hold, and so big on my pocket..want to throw it against the wall sometimes😂 now i have the normal pro size and its way way better
I decided to try out the pro max this year. I’ve had the smaller pro for 11 pro, 12 mini, 13 pro, 14 pro, now 15PM. Loving the extra battery. I can’t one hand certain things but that’s ok. We’ll see what happens next year. Right now I’m enjoying the device!
You will probably return to smaller size. I had a small phone, then got a huge phone for the big display, then got the 15 Pro and my god typing with one hand again feels so good. Fuck big phones.
It really just comes down to size because the camera differences even out when all is said and done. You’ll get better pics in the 3x range with the smaller Pro and better pics in the 5x range with the Max. I ended up going with the smaller Pro because size and weight were really important to me and because I mainly shoot pics in the 1x-3x range. The fact the smaller Pro is the same everywhere else and still manages to have all day battery is just a plus.
After 2 years of 13 pro max I’m going to go with the 15 pro. I saw it on best buy and I knew I have to get it once the smooth rounded edges felt so good to hold in my hand and the camera isn’t much of a difference for an average person.
Ew, battery sucks though, it’s even smaller than the regular 15 and you have more hardware that drains energy, the more it ages you will struggle to keep it up, speaking from experience. Unless you have a strong use for that 3x camera, the PM is the superior phone in any way.
Wait so according to the camera section of the video, am I understanding this correctly? - the 3x on the pro would produce better image because it uses the 3x telephoto lens but for pro max, it would use main lens and it will zoom normally BECAUSE, the telephoto lens on the pro max only works when it’s on 5x? So the bottom line would be, if I were to be a person who loves the 3x zoom photography rather than 5x, it’s actually better for me to opt for the pro?
Since I'm trying to reduce the amount of time I spend on the phone, the Pro is an obvious option for me. The size and usability are bonuses. Also the 3x lens is much more useful for people photos. Based on my time of shooting professionally, something closer to 85mm equiv. is better for casual shots compared to something closer to 120mm which is quite a niche focal length.
I'm a dude with massive mitts, but I went with the 15 Pro. There's something extra premium about all that tech contained within a compact device. Also, I don't feel that iOS takes full advantage of the extra screen real-estate. No split-screen multitasking, no floating windows.
@@M0ozart bought the 15 pm. No multi tasking yet. Device is smooth so it not much problem with navigate thru apps quickly. Must need split screen and multi tasking feature soon.
All of Aaron’s points here are spot on. FWIW I went with the Max this year after several years on the smaller variant. Ultimately wanted more screen and battery for content consumption, following poor 14 Pro battery performance experience. Also the new camera feature(s) tipped it over the edge for me. Went with natural Ti inside a Pitaka case (for minimal added bulk). My wife got the blue Ti. Both look fantastic.
Thank you for an informative video. I was actually torn on which model to get. I’m still using my 11 til now and any of these two looks like a great upgrade for me! ☺️
Hey Aaron! I’m just super grateful that you’re one of the only tech UA-camrs that has been around for 10+ years AND still makes content every single day. I watch all your videos. Thanks for everything.
I just upgraded from the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the iPhone 15 Pro. I used to have an iPhone 12 before it broke and eventually ended up with a Pro Max because that’s all that was in stock at the moment. I thought I would like the new features size and battery life, and all that but the truth is I actually missed the size of my iPhone 12 when I got the 12 Pro Max, it may sound silly but single hand use is a big deal imo so im happy with my decision on the pro over the max it’s great to be able to use my phone without dropping it all the time trying to reach the stinking control panel
I have a 14 pro max I came from an 11 and I also miss my smaller 11 and think I might go to the pro phone so that I’m not dropping it as much and the smaller one fits better in my hand
Excellent review. Straight and to the point. Samsung 22 Ultra user deciding whether to go Pro or Pro Max. Decision day is this coming Friday. Reason - going to the Apple ecosystem. I'll miss the S pen.
i dropped down a size this time around from the 13 pro max to the 15 pro. prefer the smaller size, one handed use and better ‘pocket-ability’. Battery life not a big concern for me as i’m usually near a charger and carry a magsafe battery pack in my bag.
I did the exact same thing as you, going from the 13 pro max to the 15 pro. I’m really liking the size in hand for everyday use. Also recently picked up the new 11 inch iPad Pro if I ever need a bigger screen.
I actually think this year Apple have given the non-pros the biggest YoY upgrade, and if you like best battery life in an iPhone, go for the 15 Plus. That matte black looks beautiful. The only gripe is 60hz refresh rate but with iOS it’s not a big issue plus helps preserve battery (I keep it turned off on my 13 Pro anyway).
60hz is alright if you've never used a device with a high refresh rate, but it's almost unusable if you're coming from something like a 14 Pro. Apple does this intentionally to prevent Pro series users from moving to a standard model.

Great vid Aaron! I went with the 15 Pro Max after 2 years on the regular 13 Pro -- I haven't owned a plus-sized iPhone since the 6 Plus, but after hearing that this year's models were lighter, that sent me in the direction of the Max. Thankfully it isn't a brick like the 14 Pro Max like I feared; it's very easy to use for a "big" phone. Very happy with the ergonomics as well as the battery life -- initially it was poor and overheated randomly often but after the 17.0.3 update, it's now functioning as expected. I also decided to rock it caseless this year
Thanks for sharing this! I’m thinking of upgrading to the 15 pro max from the 13 pro so this is really helpful to hear. How do you find carrying it around day to day like do you find it too bulky?
@@greggedman4282There was definitely an adjustment period because of the size difference but now it really feels just right. Note that my hands have definitely gotten bigger since I got my 13 Pro so mileage may vary lol. It’s surprisingly lighter than I thought and in most instances I can use it one-handed. I do find that it’s a noticeable weight in my pockets but eh, all things are so that’s no big deal for me. My advice to you would be to hit up your nearest Apple Store and see how it feels in the hand
@@theslacker29ify I recommend! Bigger screen and better battery were the things that appealed to me in the 2 years since I got my 13 Pro, since I found that, more and more often, I’d have to charge up halfway through the day in order to make it to the end without a dead phone
Was on the fence. Went with a 15 Pro with 256Gb and am glad I did. The 5x zoom of the Pro Max is of very little interest to me, the screen is plenty big enough on the Pro and the smaller, lighter form factor is really useable. I feel like I made the right choice.
@@ActuallyAwesomeName Depends how much I use it, but yes. My phone is saying about 3 hours / day screen time and it's lasting almost 3 days. I only did that once though (had the phone nearly 2 weeks). Most of the time I put it on charge at night just because and it still has 50-60% on it. I'm not a very heavy user though and I don't game on it much at all, mostly streaming music and I do have a mag charger in the car. But I've been very happy with the battery life, plenty for my usage. It varies. I had full charge yesterday but didn't use the phone much at all, didnt charge overnight and lunchtime today, I noticed it still had 84% on it.
I really love the bigger screen and battery, however I wish they keep the 3x zoom camera for the pro max instead of 5x. It doesn’t seem like a very useful length
Hi, I am getting the 15 pro Max in blue for my birthday this Month, I have always had the smaller screen size, this will be the first time having a larger handset so hope I'm not disappointed thanks for the great video as always
Hey hi how feel with the new one now? Even am planning buy same one as u told “blue pro max” soon,, and av always preferred smaller screen size but am planning for a change…
i have a 12 pro max and i'm still stuck between the 15 pro and pro max. my hands are small but i'm used to the big size of my 12pm since i had it since launch. but at the same time i wouldn't mind getting a smaller phone, idk 😭 cause here in EU there's only a 70eu difference between them so it's not much of a dealbreaker for me pricewise
The iOS ui is terrible for big phones but I’m glad I went with the max For most tho I think the pro is better The pro battery life is super disappointing tho
Sometimes when ur too good at this 😉 you make people transition into clear thinking while you speak. For me watching I feel DISGUSTING for being in awe over an apple product with max in it's name for that past 4 years. Knowing gosh damn well that in 35 years lol my age are gonna be them weirdos who are obsessed with the "odd" apple products called MAX 😅 WTF. like the apple 2 LLc 2-1/2 B model 3.... 😂😂😂 like stfu gramps! I refuse! Great video zollot3ch!
Photographers, beware. If you are going to buy a new generation of iPhone, I have one major warning: the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a five-fold zoom, but optically it cannot "do" the key portrait "3x" zoom (approx . 77 mm). So if you want to take pictures of people, it is better to avoid it.
I received the pro max two weeks now and I don’t see much difference then my 13 pro max that I trade in just the weight, and I never use my phones without a case so very little difference,I upgraded every 2 years .
I just got the iPhone 15 pro max and I love it! I love the changes that were made to the part where the ffc is and the quality is much better than the 13 pro max.
I've never owned an iPhone but I'm considering buying the IPhone 15 pro for myself but I'm totally torn between the Pro and the Pro Max...I'm going to wait until September and get the 16
Thank you for this nice little comparison! I got my pre-ordered iPhone 15 Pro Max in black titanium and 256gb of storage last friday. Before I had the 13 Pro (non-Max). Greetings from Switzerland in Central Europe!
I’m So mixed with this I got the 15 pro coming from an iPhone 11, I kinda regret not getting the pro max now but I feel like the max would’ve been a tablet😂
I’m upgrading from a 12pro to the 15pro Max. My 12 is still fantastic but I generally upgrade every couple of years. This is my first time going to the larger size phone as I’m always hesitant because I often like to use only one hand. Hopefully I can get used to the larger size and not regret it.
Have always had the Pro size but for the 15 iphone I went Pro Max and am kicking myself for not going with 6.7 a long time ago. It's almost unnoticeable with large hands and I never text one handed and the camera feature won me over.........
3x and 5x telephoto comparison is good, but why compare 15x vs 25x? Can you just help compare 10x vs 10x and 15x vs 15x? most of people won't use 25x but 10x or 15x on pro max is definitely useful... thanks
Hi Aaron. Thanks for the informative comparison of the two phones. I’m considering upgrading to the 15 Pro Max from my 13 Pro. Hoping to get it in the natural titanium finish
I have both pro models, I initially got the 15 pro back in October for the size but over the past few months I’ve felt myself regretting the 15 pro so I ended up getting the 15 pro max yesterday
Thank you for doing this comparison because I had been asking what was the difference since so many people were waiting for the 15 Pro! But I 💙15 PM💙 (512) but I am holding on to my 💚13PM💚! I need to check out your video on pro-resolution... I'm not very good with the camera use. I'm pretty much point and shoot camera 📷 person! Thank you 👑
The 15 Pro just feels amazing in the hands. I checked the whole 15 lineup yesterday in person and both the regular 15 and 15 Pro are so nice to hold. But the 15 Pro felt a bit more compact and it look really powerful with that big camera bump. The Pro Max is just a bit too big but I think that it would feel better after time. I have the regular 12 that also is 6,1 and it feels a bit different than the 15 Pro. But it is a bit unnecessary that the Pro Max have an advantage to the 15 Pro in the camera.
I was using 14 pro max earlier now i am confused which mobile should i get i went to dubai mall apple store but i didn't get it because i am confused which one to get
I got a 15 Pro yesterday and while it is a lovely phone I can already tell after 36 hours that the battery on this isn't gonna cut it for me so gonna return it. Sadly will have to wait until November 10th for the Pro Max so it will be back to my Xs Max for a few weeks. Worth it though as the 15 Pro was down to 20% by 5pm for me today so I had to put it onto charge.
@@chris7077 yeah I was very disappointed in the battery on the 15 Pro. Quite shocked tbh. And I hadn’t even enabled things like iCloud Photos yet! I’m back on my 5 year old xs max and am getting better battery life (as I got a new battery a year ago so it’s still at 97%) than I did on the 15 Pro. Hoping the 15 Pro Max is as good as my xs max and I will be happy. Shame as the size of the 15 Pro is good but it needs more battery.
@@chris7077 I got my 15 Pro Max early so I’ve had it two days now and the battery is so sooooo much better. Not charged since yesterday late morning (Europe) and it’s over 24 hours later and I still have 53% battery left. Absolutely destroys the 15 Pro which didn’t even last me a day.
This year I went with the 15 pro and I came from a pro max, in all my time with the pro max I barely used the screen size to watch movie, use my iPad for those things
Am I the only one who is sad to see lightning connector go. When I switched from a type C phone to iphone last year, I immediately noticed that its much easier to clean lightning connector. Type C port got clogged up every 6 months or so and was very difficult to clean compared to lightning.
The screen resolution is not the same as you stated at 3:26. The pixel density is the same, though, at about 460ppi for both devices. This means the 15 Pro Max has an higher overall resolution.
always pro max for bigger battery. go big or go home. If u can spend $999 for a phone then you have to be able to spend $1199. otherwise just get a Galaxy A03
I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max in blue titanium:) I love my phone. I upgraded from my iPhone 11. I became an iPhone user last February and I will never switch!
My hands are huge so I got the black titanium pro max. My first max was the 12 after they introduced the max on the 11. I had to have it coming from all the small iPhones APPLE were used to developing in the past. 🎉😊
It is actually the one hand phone vs. the both hands phone.
Basically
Nope dude, for the second time, there is a camera difference too (this time it’s zoom range only, last time, for 12 pro and pro max, it was all over the camera setup )
Really that depends on your hand size. Pro Max ain’t too bad and my hands aren’t huge
I use the 14 plus in one hand
iPad Pro + iPhone 15 Pro + MacBook Air M1 best combo for the Buck 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I did try a Pro Max this time. I just couldn’t get used to it. I ended up returning it and exchanging it for the smaller Pro. I’m very happy I did.

Has anyone gone from a 13 pro to a 15 pro - im interested in knowing if there is much of a battery change?! Thank you
my brain told me that the max is a pro 😭
Right
They’re basically the same phones with same components and everything crept for screen battery and 5x

My advice to you would be to hit up your nearest Apple Store and see how it feels in the hand
@@theslacker29ify I recommend! Bigger screen and better battery were the things that appealed to me in the 2 years since I got my 13 Pro, since I found that, more and more often, I’d have to charge up halfway through the day in order to make it to the end without a dead phone
@@anakinfan8 thanks for sharing your experience about the phone.. When I upgrade, I'm going for the 15 pro max!
Was on the fence. Went with a 15 Pro with 256Gb and am glad I did. The 5x zoom of the Pro Max is of very little interest to me, the screen is plenty big enough on the Pro and the smaller, lighter form factor is really useable. I feel like I made the right choice.
Can you go through a full day without recharging? I ordered the same phone
@@ActuallyAwesomeName Depends how much I use it, but yes. My phone is saying about 3 hours / day screen time and it's lasting almost 3 days. I only did that once though (had the phone nearly 2 weeks). Most of the time I put it on charge at night just because and it still has 50-60% on it. I'm not a very heavy user though and I don't game on it much at all, mostly streaming music and I do have a mag charger in the car. But I've been very happy with the battery life, plenty for my usage. It varies. I had full charge yesterday but didn't use the phone much at all, didnt charge overnight and lunchtime today, I noticed it still had 84% on it.
Max is better. Battery life has better
@@simonasisi9209not eveyone wants a 6.7 inch screen
@@simonasisi9209good thing most people don’t spend the whole day on their phones, so no need for a bigger battery.
I really love the bigger screen and battery, however I wish they keep the 3x zoom camera for the pro max instead of 5x. It doesn’t seem like a very useful length
then dont use it lmao its just an extra for you
Hi, I am getting the 15 pro Max in blue for my birthday this Month, I have always had the smaller screen size, this will be the first time having a larger handset so hope I'm not disappointed
thanks for the great video as always
hy update?
Hey hi how feel with the new one now?
Even am planning buy same one as u told “blue pro max” soon,, and av always preferred smaller screen size but am planning for a change…
The iphone 15 pro max I can use it with only one hand because my hand is big and my fingers are long.
I want the iphone 15 pro
So disappointed with pro battery capacity
Mad to think iPhones used to be 8gb, 16gb, 32gb or 64gb 😂
I remember the 4gb version
Never been interested on the Max size!
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best iPhone I have ever used since iPhone 6.
i have a 12 pro max and i'm still stuck between the 15 pro and pro max. my hands are small but i'm used to the big size of my 12pm since i had it since launch. but at the same time i wouldn't mind getting a smaller phone, idk 😭 cause here in EU there's only a 70eu difference between them so it's not much of a dealbreaker for me pricewise
The iOS ui is terrible for big phones but I’m glad I went with the max
For most tho I think the pro is better
The pro battery life is super disappointing tho
Do you want 6.1 or 6.7
Do you want regular or large
Do you want one hand use or two simple.
iPhone X, waiting to see what the iPhone 16 Pro Max offers. I have one more year of security updates for iOS 16 too.
Sometimes when ur too good at this 😉 you make people transition into clear thinking while you speak. For me watching I feel DISGUSTING for being in awe over an apple product with max in it's name for that past 4 years. Knowing gosh damn well that in 35 years lol my age are gonna be them weirdos who are obsessed with the "odd" apple products called MAX 😅 WTF. like the apple 2 LLc 2-1/2 B model 3.... 😂😂😂 like stfu gramps! I refuse! Great video zollot3ch!
Photographers, beware. If you are going to buy a new generation of iPhone, I have one major warning: the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a five-fold zoom, but optically it cannot "do" the key portrait "3x" zoom (approx . 77 mm). So if you want to take pictures of people, it is better to avoid it.
I received the pro max two weeks now and I don’t see much difference then my 13 pro max that I trade in just the weight, and I never use my phones without a case so very little difference,I upgraded every 2 years .
I just got the iPhone 15 pro max and I love it! I love the changes that were made to the part where the ffc is and the quality is much better than the 13 pro max.
I've never owned an iPhone but I'm considering buying the IPhone 15 pro for myself but I'm totally torn between the Pro and the Pro Max...I'm going to wait until September and get the 16
16 pro or 16 pro max?
Thank you for this nice little comparison!
I got my pre-ordered iPhone 15 Pro Max in black titanium and 256gb of storage last friday. Before I had the 13 Pro (non-Max).
Greetings from Switzerland in Central Europe!
I wish they had 1 3 & 5 telephoto zoom on the 15 pro max as I feel that 2x is useless for what I use it for
I’m So mixed with this I got the 15 pro coming from an iPhone 11, I kinda regret not getting the pro max now but I feel like the max would’ve been a tablet😂
If you’re a male go for the pro if you’re a female go for the pro max. I think us females like pro max better.
Why do you say that?
I’m upgrading from a 12pro to the 15pro Max. My 12 is still fantastic but I generally upgrade every couple of years. This is my first time going to the larger size phone as I’m always hesitant because I often like to use only one hand. Hopefully I can get used to the larger size and not regret it.
Should i get the 15 pro or the pro max worth it??
same !
do you have any update? how using 15 pro max?
@@roxyplz absolutely loving my iPhone 15 Pro Max!
Just realized that it's 100 more for a bigger screen. It's for my mom so might as well lol
Ive always had 6.7 inch androids but for some reason I dont like big iphones lol . I usually just get the regualr pro
Went with a pro max this time. I went from a 12 pro to 15 pro max and the battery is really great especially if you game on your device
You are amazing ❤thank you
I'm leaning to the Pro Max right now...probably the 16
Have a 12 pro max and was thinking to get the 15 pro to downsize on size 🤷✌️🙏🇨🇦
Same exact situation... what did you decide @gk9417
Helped me a lot
Love the 15 pro. Using it now. Great in the hand and camera
Which color did you choose?
black is best
@@KingTechHD how is the battery life?
Have always had the Pro size but for the 15 iphone I went Pro Max and am kicking myself for not going with 6.7 a long time ago. It's almost unnoticeable with large hands and I never text one handed and the camera feature won me over.........
Is 128gb enough? If you are planning to buy 15 pro ?
pro should also start at 256GB its so limited when you got the 128 memory
Pro max its too big and so heavy 😢
3x and 5x telephoto comparison is good, but why compare 15x vs 25x? Can you just help compare 10x vs 10x and 15x vs 15x? most of people won't use 25x but 10x or 15x on pro max is definitely useful... thanks
My hands are big so pro max was definitely my choice 😂
I think I'm gonna go another year with my 12 Pro Max, though the battery is down to 82% now after almost 3 years...
I'm getting the 15 pro in 128 and trading in my regular 11. Getting $200 off.
The only reason you would prefer the Pro over the Pro Max is the more compact size and lower price tag.
Don’t forget battery life there is a big difference in battery life.
More pocket-ability
If you use 5 hours 15 screen on time per day you got bigger problems than your battery life
Im getting the pro nxt time im done with big phones
15 pro just right size after 13 pro max
I have a 13 pro max with 512gb. Not gonna update for a couple of years
Wow I have the same phone with 1 tb and 86% battery health. I was debating on not upgrading and staying with this 🤦🏽♂️
Neither. Leave Apple go to Android.
iPhone 15 Pro Max, natural titanium, 1 TB.
I went for the 15 Pro Max mainly for the camera and battery life. I usually just get the Pro model.
Same here. Adjusting to the size still but the weight helps a lot.
Is it good
@@lilkarey So far no issues.
@@raylewis99 I'm thinking of getting a pm too.
Most helpful video I’ve seen . Thank you
I love the 15 pro max and the blue titanium is gorgeous and the camera quality and battery life is amazing it’s an absolute amazing jump from the XR
15 pro is better
@@simonasisi9209 well for you in size yeah but for me the battery life and camera quality are better on the 15 pro max
Hi Aaron. Thanks for the informative comparison of the two phones.
I’m considering upgrading to the 15 Pro Max from my 13 Pro. Hoping to get it in the natural titanium finish
think i will too, coming from the base 13 tho
I have both pro models, I initially got the 15 pro back in October for the size but over the past few months I’ve felt myself regretting the 15 pro so I ended up getting the 15 pro max yesterday
now update me i’m also about to get 15pm how’s the size nd how’ it feels in hands
Should i buy 14 pro max or 15 pro,
And i am okay with the screen size and the battery
Honestly just gonna keep getting the base models 🤷
Thank you for doing this comparison because I had been asking what was the difference since so many people were waiting for the 15 Pro! But I 💙15 PM💙 (512) but I am holding on to my 💚13PM💚! I need to check out your video on pro-resolution... I'm not very good with the camera use. I'm pretty much point and shoot camera 📷 person!
Thank you 👑
WHAT AM I DOING HERE I AM WITH 4S
I phone 15 pro best ever phone 💯❤️
The title is confusing when matched with the image. Do your work dude.
That’s on purpose that they are the other way around.
I’ll keep my 13 Pro awhile longer. E sim is a deal breaker for me as I sometimes switch phones.
The 15 Pro just feels amazing in the hands. I checked the whole 15 lineup yesterday in person and both the regular 15 and 15 Pro are so nice to hold. But the 15 Pro felt a bit more compact and it look really powerful with that big camera bump. The Pro Max is just a bit too big but I think that it would feel better after time. I have the regular 12 that also is 6,1 and it feels a bit different than the 15 Pro. But it is a bit unnecessary that the Pro Max have an advantage to the 15 Pro in the camera.
I was using 14 pro max earlier now i am confused which mobile should i get i went to dubai mall apple store but i didn't get it because i am confused which one to get
I got a 15 Pro yesterday and while it is a lovely phone I can already tell after 36 hours that the battery on this isn't gonna cut it for me so gonna return it. Sadly will have to wait until November 10th for the Pro Max so it will be back to my Xs Max for a few weeks. Worth it though as the 15 Pro was down to 20% by 5pm for me today so I had to put it onto charge.
yup, the battery is trash just like the 14 pro. My 14 pro barely has better battery life than my 13 mini
@@chris7077 yeah I was very disappointed in the battery on the 15 Pro. Quite shocked tbh. And I hadn’t even enabled things like iCloud Photos yet! I’m back on my 5 year old xs max and am getting better battery life (as I got a new battery a year ago so it’s still at 97%) than I did on the 15 Pro. Hoping the 15 Pro Max is as good as my xs max and I will be happy. Shame as the size of the 15 Pro is good but it needs more battery.
@@chris7077 I got my 15 Pro Max early so I’ve had it two days now and the battery is so sooooo much better. Not charged since yesterday late morning (Europe) and it’s over 24 hours later and I still have 53% battery left. Absolutely destroys the 15 Pro which didn’t even last me a day.
This year I went with the 15 pro and I came from a pro max, in all my time with the pro max I barely used the screen size to watch movie, use my iPad for those things
Am I the only one who is sad to see lightning connector go. When I switched from a type C phone to iphone last year, I immediately noticed that its much easier to clean lightning connector. Type C port got clogged up every 6 months or so and was very difficult to clean compared to lightning.
Thats hey u vhoose magsafe
The screen resolution is not the same as you stated at 3:26. The pixel density is the same, though, at about 460ppi for both devices. This means the 15 Pro Max has an higher overall resolution.
I have a 13 mini ( for travel and foreign SIM cards ) and a 14 pro ( for everyday). Both have 512 Go. No need to update for at least 2 years
always pro max for bigger battery. go big or go home. If u can spend $999 for a phone then you have to be able to spend $1199. otherwise just get a Galaxy A03
I disagree.
I am going for a pro max because I enjoy gaming. If it is not for gaming id buy pro itself. Smaller and lighter
That rubbish talk with get you places in society.
15 Pro max black T , absolutely love it.
How is the battery life of pro and pro max ?
I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max in blue titanium:) I love my phone. I upgraded from my iPhone 11. I became an iPhone user last February and I will never switch!
You don’t miss the smaller size?
@@nick_aheh I do not, I prefer larger phones for my hands😁
I’m going to choose the 15 Pro Max.
My hands are huge so I got the black titanium pro max. My first max was the 12 after they introduced the max on the 11. I had to have it coming from all the small iPhones APPLE were used to developing in the past. 🎉😊
