@@Nazmul0101 I went with the 128. I barely take pictures and videos so if you are in the same boat, pick that one. $100 more for 128gb is not bad but again, its only if you take a lot of photos or heavily use the phone for work or something.
The thing I love about this review is how you didn’t just say the usual generic pros and cons with the Pro and Pro Max, but you described how each would feel on a personal level, that helps viewers understand how it will feel to have each one. You’re the only tech reviewer I’ve seen do this; definitely an underrated channel!
I downsized to the regular size this year. Trading 2-3 day battery life for being able to use one-handed, and it doesn't take up my entire pocket. The cameras are ridiculously good on both, I feel like very few people are going to get real benefit from the camera difference.
I went the opposite way. Went from 13 pro to 15 pro max. I have big hands and found the keyboard hard to type on. Plus I wanted the extra size for watching videos and keeping my 2 yr old entertained
@@Charliebird52I went from an 11PM and there’s centimeters worth of difference after a much needed case(the reason why I have to upgrade to begin with.
Thanks for comparing these two phones. I just upgraded from a midnight green 11 Pro 64gb to a black titanium 15 Pro 256gb. After watching several videos about the 15 Pro’s battery life I began regretting not going with the Pro Max. I was bummed, but now I’m not regretting my decision. I like the smaller size, especially the 5.8 inch display on the 11 Pro. I don’t want to regularly have to carry a phablet around in my pocket!
Try turning off the promotion 120hz display and stick to just the 60 hz. So far it has made a difference in my battery usage. I am also regretting the 15 pro over the 15 pro max....but this seems to help somewhat.
I’m also upgrading from the 11 pro as the camera quality on it is lacking now. However I’m not going to wait 4 years again, instead upgrade to the iPhone 17. I chose the iPhone 15 pro natural titanium 512 gb.
@@jayb7932I am coming from 11 pro 256gb.. and I am just about all out of storage. What storage did you have for your 11pr? I am considering going up to 512
I just got the 15 pro max. Love it. Battery takes a hell of a usage during my day. I use it at work for podcasts, videos and games on lunch break. I use it after work with the kids at the park and my son plays subway surfers on it. I unplug at 350am and plug in before bed at 930pm and still have 10-15%. I use the puck so it’s only 15 watt and maybe extends my battery health.
I always went for the Pro but this year i feel that i want to try the Pro Max, i ordered the 15 Pro but since i went to the Apple store i want to get the Pro Max !! I have quite big hands, initially i wouldn't get the 14PM with the heavy weight but now since it's lighter and more rounded it's better to use it !
Isn’t it to heavy or difficult with the hands now? 😊 thanks I have ordered the 15PM (not received yet) i’m thinking about cancel and get the pro. Bit worried I have a iPhone 13 now
@@grv91vr23I have bad arthritis and got the 14 pro last year and even it was so heavy, this year I got the 15 pro max and it’s so much easier to hold and lighter, so far I have no regrets.
Thanks for the video. I’ve been contemplating on buying 15 pro or 15 pro max. I want the 5x telephoto so bad. But after watching your video (i’m currently using iphone 14 & love small phone), i decided to get 15 pro instead.
Haven’t upgraded my phone since the 11 pro max, big factor for me in upgrading is better battery life, so when I saw a video on how quickly the battery dies on the 15 pro, there was only one option at that point
I got the regular Pro, coming from a Max sized Android. The first couple days I wanted to exchange it to the Max, but now that I’m used to it, I honestly love the size. Feels so good in the hand (Ladies… you know the procedures). The battery is the only thing for me, I got chargers everywhere I got my phone so it’s yet to be an actual issue.
One of the main problems I have with large screen iPhones is they are so limited in what you can do with the screen real estate, my old Galaxy S8 could do split screen which came in handy occasionally.
I prefer the pro over the pro max. I traded in my 14 pro max and the 15 pro is indeed smaller, but I will get used to it. I don’t have huge hands so for me the size is perfect. Plus phone cases as so much bulk to a phone.
I have a 15 promax with the Alpine woven case, stop buying huge cases, and you won’t have to worry about it, or do like me and get AppleCare then you don’t even need a case 😂
I went with the IPhone 15 Pro Max. Which is the smallest Large out of any brand. 6.7 inch feels like 6.4 inch. The Blue Titanium is 🔥 I Love it. Huge upgrade with screen and everything feels better than the 14 Pro Max.
14promax was my first max phone. It was really heavy for me to hold. I upgraded to 15pro. I'm the enjoying every bit of it; less heavier and more portable to hold, but batery drains more quick.
After using the 15 pro max for a few days - I'm very happy with my selection. The battery alone is a huge improvement from the 12 pro max. Feels fantastic in the hand and it's the first time in years that I feel my iPhone purchase is an upgrade.
@A10296 my phone got hot a couple of days ago but I was charging it on a patio outside in 98 degree weather. I haven’t had any issues otherwise even while using MagSafe charging.
No one talks about it but the 15 pro has better readability than 15 pro max -> both in display zoom mode. Yes, we can increase the text size but many apps (e.g. google maps search etc) rely mainly on display zoom. So for those of us who always need glasses to read, its very odd that we end up having less readability on the bigger screen. This is what is holding me back from getting the max.
@@nvdube Its apparently something to do with some emulation ratio. Pretty wild indeed. When I had XS Max, it was better readability than XS/XR but since 12 came....somehow the aspect ratios are like that. If you go to an apple store; change both phones to zoomed view and you will notice how the smaller phone actually has bigger font!!! Now, we can increase text on the bigger phone but the effect of font change are not same as display zoom. Most apple and when trying to do quick search in google maps etc, all the menus etc are smaller in the bigger phone (despite both set to zoomed view). If not for this, I would immediately buy the max.
@@Svbp99 I noticed that too. I thought the Max would give me better readability and it never did. It was pretty much the same. I need more to go to the Pro Max from a Pro. having said that, I like when there is more parity between the two then you don't have to go to the Max if you don't want to. I prefer the size of the Pro phones and don't want to feel obligated to go to the Max for some feature. I wish they would have done the 5X in the Pro and not limit it to the PM. And also give it a better battery. Shoot, paying a grand for it and it's a flagship phone... come on apple! lol I'm doing the Pro for one more cycle and then probably PM with the 17 or 18.
The big thing that im debating on and I feel like its not show cased or pointed out much is that everyone is hyping up the 5x on the pro max. But then forgetting that photos under 5x will suffer alot compared to the pro with the 3x. Id like the bigger screen, but dont zoom alot so makes me lean towards the pro
I have the 14 pro and the 15 pro max. The 5x is trash compared to the 3x on my 14 pro. 3x cropped in is even better than the results from the 15 pro max 5X camera. I'm probably going to return the 15 pro max for the 15 pro.
@@Tburna02 this is my exact thought process. the 5X seems too zoomed for day to day, would be nice to have both options, but if you’re going to have one 3X is better and the smaller phone is just more convenient
@@sanchaythamman I agree. I watched a lot of reviews and decided to go with the 15 pro instead. Anything under 5x is trash and so for day to day shots the pro is better imo than the max
I went to the 15 Pro from a regular IPhone 11. The Pro Max is just TOO large. I traded in battery life for a smaller size and plus my previous phone, the 11 was also the same size at 6.1 as the Pro so it made sense. I can always carry a battery bank or battery case if I need battery charge for a smaller form factor and gone from a charger for hours or near my car to charge it while on Apple CarPlay. I still have AirPods Gen 2 that still use Lightning. Its the only thing I have that uses Lightning after trading in my 11. I have 2 powerbanks that still use MicroUSB. They still work and still use them to extend the battery on my phone when going out for hours like to an amusement park.
I was torn about the idea of upgrading my 14 pro for the 15PM, I am really disappointed with the battery performance of the 14 pro, so I ordered the 15 PM, it will arrive in a few weeks I hope I didn’t make the wrong choice because I was really used to the small form factor 🥺
I upgraded from the 14p to 15pm because of battery too! Currently using my 15 pro max and LOVE IT! No regrets. Smooth edges make it comfortable to hold too. And loving the bigger screen.
@@josephpepe2607 not really, that’s what shocked me the most, perhaps it came with a defect or something, the only other thing was the because of my job I had to use cellular data all the time, not WiFi
I hear you I have the 13 pro max that is my first ever pro max model but this year I think I’m going back to the pro model because of size and pocket space I hope I won’t regret it but I like the feel of the pro in hand so thank you for the precision as of a clearer idea between the pro vs pro max ✌🏻
Trying a regular pro this time around for the first time ever. Something clicked in my head about 6 months ago that I really wanted to try a pro this year. Liking it so far. I think the major thing that I may not like is battery but we will see..
I am upgrading from 14 pro max to 15 pro and I’m worried about the battery but I’m so tired of not being able to fit the max in my pockets, small purses or even just one handed use. I hope I made the right choice! Arriving tomorrow!
@@RevanParker ugh - thanks for managing my expectations - I was afraid of this so I ordered a portable MagSafe charger that folds up and charges iPhone, watch and AirPods. Hopefully that helps as needed.
Does it feel like you’d use the 3x more than the 5x in every day life? I’m considering the 5x, but worried that when you want that in-between range from 2x to 5x that quality will suffer compared to having the 3x.
I'm going with the Pro with 3x. Pro Max's 5x portraits and all are no doubt better, though the in between range is also much longer for proper clicks. But I'm thinking how much time I'll use use the 5x as compared to whole day to day usage. The form factor and the weight will be a factor in daily use. Also, take into consideration which type of photos you take most.
I downgraded from 15 pro max to 15 pro, I have big hands but I didn’t like the weight and the size, the pro max it’s not comfortable at all but has better battery and to be honest probably I’ll never user all the power of both phone offers, probably iPhone 15 will be far better for most people
There are some items that are inaccurate -- both the Pro and Pro Max shoot Log and Prores. The only difference between the Camera Unit is the 3x vs 5x zoom.
Team Pro but not opposed to Max. Just a tad too big. The move to Titanium and slightly smaller has helped and had me thinking Max!! However, upgraded my 13 Pro to 15 Pro! Enjoying it being slightly lighter and smaller than my 13 Pro. I did flirt with the Max like I usually do when I upgrade. Lol I just couldn't give up the portability and one-handed use, which I do a lot. I just like the smaller form factor, easier on the pockets, still good battery to get through the day and good screen size. I mean we are at 6.1!! lol Remember back in the days when they were less than 5? haha This gets me as close to the 5s which was one of my favorite iPhones. And I love the Titanium Blue color with my PB FineWoven case. Now if they can just make the camera flush to the back would be awesome! Seems like the Pro Max is something to stay away from this year regarding how easily it cracks? Can't wait to see your video on that since you give good unbiased reviews! Just scribed to your channel! With all that said, when I upgrade at 17/18, good chance I do Max then. I have to do it for at least one cycle I feel like lol
Thank you for a really objective, real-world review. I have been pondering long and hard between the Pro and the Pro-Max. Your review and the viewer comments helped me decide on the Pro. I have only just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks Michael BTW I like it that your viewers seem to be very nice and tolerant to each other in the comments section. No nastiness. Which is nice and refreshing. I'm sure your presentation style helps promote this sentiment in viewers. Appreciated.
I bought the Pro and have been debating the swap to the pro max but from what I see only benefit is bigger screen and if you scrutinise your pics with a magnifying glass haha then maybe the camera. I have an ipad mini 6 if I want a big screen so now I'm think it's stupid to swap so I'm sticking to my pro.
@@HydzFN if I was using mine more and needed the big battery I'd swap but I get a full day and more from my pro and that's with Web browsing, UA-cam and gaming so it's fine for my needs. I also like being able to use my phone one handed which I can't do with the bigger pro max. Haha I guess that's why apple make the different sizes so that we can all pick what's best for us
Got the 15PM thinking about downsizing to the 15 pro. Got it cause my old phone was Galaxy s20fe and had a larger display and got used to it. Wondering if I’d like a smaller phone(15 pro)
My Man! Just picked up the 15 pro yesterday in that Blue Titanium! Been rolling with the ProMax since the 12 series. Had to give in because of the size! Great review and content as always!
@@juliusgraf5070 my battery life is ok. I use it pretty much throughout the whole day. I can make it from the morning to the next day with moderate use
I'm coming from the Samsung S22+ and got the Pro Max but I'm finding it too heavy and uncomfortable to hold so I'm gonna return it and exchange for the Pro. Great video!
Team Pro Max! this is my first pro model and I’m loving the 15 Pro Max with the new MagSafe popsocket makes it easier to handle and the screen/camera is insane! Great video 👍🏽
One of the best comparisons out there! Thanks @CJKnowsTECH - Subscribed! For everyday use and usability 15P fit the majority of use cases. The main thing for me is that 5x zoom - it's not often I'd want to use it, except for special occasions e.g hiking, or on holidays. I wonder, is there a prime lens attachment or something out there that we could bolt on to the camera to get the best of both worlds?
My 15 Pro Max should be arriving tomorrow. I'm upgrading from an iPhone XR. I went big because I started using my XR as an e-reader even though I have a couple e-ink devices that is designed for that sort of thing. I always went back to my phone for reading books, though, so for me my phone is the ideal reading device.
The only reason I’m buying one is because I obliterate my 13 Pro in August, I had a spare 13 mini. Started to use it and absolutely love it but I’m use to the macro lens of the pro. So I will buy a 15 Pro, and swap between the Pro and my mini.
Came from the 14 pro to 15PM the ONLY reason I made the switch was due to battery and I’m back and forth between taking the 15 back and going back to the smaller phones….however, the common denominator to me on what’s making me keep this is the weight…this pro max is light as a feather
After using the pro max for about a month I am still contemplating switching back to the regular sized pro version. I’m glad the holiday return window was extended because i’ve needed every single additional day that has been added because although the battery life has been great for me and so has the 5x zoom which I will dearly miss if i do go back. I don’t think it’s enough for me to sacrifice the size of the phone. A phone is supposed to be small and practical and the pro max just isn’t that for me. I have an iPad mini which i can use for gaming and video watching.
iPhone 12 promax had to replace it once with Apple care which totally sucks and replacement was New and it sucks totally hate it. So trying the 15 Pro so see what happens and its smaller which i like more .
Went with the pro this year. After two major surgeries on my right wrist, I simply can’t handle the size and weight of the pro max. So far I am happy with the pro.
Had Notes from the Note Edge to the 20. Got a 12 pro max. Loved it. Went with a 15 pro on launch day. I want something small as my personal device. I can use the 12PM to watch YT/play games
If you were thinking of upgrading from 14pro max to 15pro would you be downloading, upgrading, or staying the same. As want to upgrade but don’t want the size of the pro any more.
Biggest downgrade will be in battery and screen size…other than that if you don’t have a need for the 5X zoom lens not really. But you’ve been accustomed to the Max battery life. If you can get passed that you should have a good user experience. Follow your gut
thanks for this video! Right now I am in doubt which model to take. I really like the size of the iPhone 15 Pro, but I play a lot on my phone and love taking photos and videos. I feel that camera quality and battery life are of great importance to me. But the iPhone 15 Pro Max seems too big to me, and I'm afraid of breaking it, especially after the results of drop tests on UA-cam torment of choice 😅
@@kojoopubg these guys from apple are very cunning 🥲 My boyfriend has an Android smartphone, the size of which is close to the pro max. From time to time I take his phone to try it on my hand 😆
Hi, I'm 13 years old and I've decided I want to switch from Android to iPhone. I'm debating between the 15 Pro and the Pro Max. I don't need a crazy phone with crazy performance, but if the difference between the two phones is only $100, then I think it's better to spend that $100 for a slightly better phone. I would appreciate if someone who has the Pro Max could tell me if it is comfortable for daily use and if it is too big for the hand, and how it is in general as a phone, I would appreciate it if you could express your opinion and help me choose
Great information thanks I'm coming from an android phones to my first iPhone ever and I'm debating between the 16 pro or 16 pro max I'm leaning towards the pro max because it's the top of the line iPhone and I want my first iphone experience to be great
Ive been rocking promax since the 12, after playing with my kids phone and comparing video size and readability it wasnt that much of a difference and i was saying why watch anything on my phone when my ipad is just collecting dust and i said im going smaller this year and going with the pro, it is the perfect companion to my ipad, now my everyday carry is pro phone + ipad media combo, plus it saves my battery splitting up the everyday consumption
ok .since charging the phone regulary during the day is the best way to save battery life.. The battery thing does not add.. the most important is to buy a system where your phone could be charged faster and often than having a bigger battery that you expect to keep for days with no charging, charging often keeps the life of the battery cells longer.
In love with the size and weight of my 12 pro but I need the battery life. I just got my 15 pro max and it lasts me all day, all night without needing to switch to low power mode or cranking the brightness down, once the pro models have atleast 4500 mah, I will consider it
i order iphone 15pro 256 titanum blue💙 coming on Tuesday im so excited 😊 i will compare my smartphone Redmi note 9pro this phone a bit longscreen for me sometimes my hand feels hurt specially when i play mobile games ofcourse i used long .. so im happy i choose pro😊 than promax bcoz is really big🎉 thank you for your video sir.
I went from iphone 7 to xs max and have since then been perfectly fine with rhe bigger phones. I also manage to do pretty much everything one handed other than typing (obviously), I could if i wanted to, but two handed is naturally just quicker. I’ll be upgrading to 15 Pro Max
CJ: 1 TB is target feature! Facts point to Max! Super appreciate your commentary though as always, brother of blessed blurb! It’s clarity along with urban smarts. Be blessed! 🙏🏽
the problem with the max it doesn't fit on my pocket, if it does it will just sticks out and high possibility of falling. I love the bigger screen and battery.
Going for the pro max is definitely a better option this year compared to last year. Mainly because of the difference in weight. 20g on paper doesn’t seem like a lot but for something you always hold, the difference is immediately noticeable. And year by year, hopefully it drops further down as Apple finds ways to reduce certain components but keep performance of said component just the same if not better.
Why though? Pro max literally just has better cameras... The average joe does not even need that. The Pro is a no brainer for people who usually pick the standard models and want a bump in performance. Pro max is superfluous to people like that, including myself.
I preordered the 15..but I’m seeing all these flaws coming out that’s making me have second thoughts. 1. The back cracking easily 2. Battery life 3. Overheating Is it worth getting? Should i wait till next year? Super conflicted 😅
Thanks CJ. I sold my 12 PM in preparation for the 15 line up. I bought an SE as a placeholder and side device and because I like the size and retro feel of it. I have been stuck using the SE due to its size, but the performance is not there for a heavy user. Thank you for this comparison video. I think I will go with the 15 Pro over the PM. I ended up with BIG PHONE fatigue after owning the 12PM for about 2 years.
I'm curious about having two phones. Does the 15 Pro Max have the electronic or physical sim card and can you have two sims on the same phone? I have the 14 Pro Max with the electronic sim card and I'm able to have two separate numbers on the same phone. Wouldn't that make more sense instead of two separate phones?
I wonder why Apple stopped making 6.5 inch iPhones i like the pro maxes too but they are a tad too big especially if you put a otterbox on it & I put otterbox on all my phones love my 14 pro
Great review man,i appreciate it. That titanium grey looks nice but I’m getting the white titanium pro. I enjoy the smaller form factor and not too concerned with the camera. I shoot on a Canon R6 Mark ii so I’m a little jaded when it comes to cameras on a phone, though those shots looked pretty amazing. Looking forward to your gear review for the new iPhones 📱 Thanks again man, you’re appreciated.
I don’t know what to get. I’ve always gotten the pro max’s models since the 8 plus. Not sure if I should change things up and get a Pro. The battery is marvelous, it never dies on me. I always watch movies and shows. It’s a bummer to figure this oit
Tinkering on pressing the purchase button on the 15 pro max 512GB.. Currently have an 10 month old 14pro max 512GB BUT the battery is on 93% ... Love your honesty Budd.. May I ask if you think it's worth the upgrade please?
I believe the perfect iphone size is the 12 and 13 mini. Since they are no longer made on newer models, I upgraded to the 15 pro max since battery was the only issue I had with the minis. It still fits in my shirt pocket just with the extra weight, so, so far so good!
if it isn't for the eco system I've already invested in: the home pods, the AirPods, themacbook, the iPads, the Apple Watch, I would switch back to Samsung. I'm aching to try the folding phones. Is the 15 really worth it?
Samsung Folding phones are still heavily compromised. Im primarily an iPhone user but had the fold 2-3-4 as my secondary device. Every time I swapped the sim into the fold, I was back on the iPhone within 2-3 days. The thin tall screen was tough to type on and when I opened the phone, I had to use 2 hands. I’d go with the new pixel fold if I went to another foldable.
I have always been a andriod users but this time I want a iphone and wanted to go to iPhone i currently have a oppo find X5 pro which iphone woild u recommend
It comes down to preference For me Pro Max is better. If they would’ve made Purple 15pm i would have upgraded, maybe on 16pm. If not then i upgrade my battery instead.
Seems the Pro takes better pictures than the Pro Max. I ordered an iPhone 15 Pro instead of the Pro Max this time because it's been a headache trying to stick that Max in purses 😆
Hey CJ, great video bud. Can’t help but notice your glasses are bent, which I guess you have adjusted to fit your head. Top tip: instead of bending the arm, heat the nose bridge with hot air (hairdryer) and bend the bridge inwards. This makes a tighter fit on your head, rather than having bent (left) arm. Remember, whenever you bend, heat first. Same goes when you straighten the arm. Carefully, don’t snap em!
Maybe the size but I have dropped my iPhone 12 pro max way less than previous models... I think because I use with two hands. When I use the pro size with 1 hand I tend to drop it more frequently. I wanna go pro this time around, but I feel like I will drop it and I rarely ever drop the larger device.

It’s not
I downsized to the regular size this year. Trading 2-3 day battery life for being able to use one-handed, and it doesn't take up my entire pocket. The cameras are ridiculously good on both, I feel like very few people are going to get real benefit from the camera difference.
I did the same thing.
How’s the battery for regular pro?
Feel exactly the same way. Returning the 15 PM to go back to the Pro. Screen real estate is nice but portability isn’t.

After watching several videos about the 15 Pro’s battery life I began regretting not going with the Pro Max. I was bummed, but now I’m not regretting my decision.

great video, I’ll be going from 15 pm to 15 pro. just too big for daily use and 3x seems more convenient for daily camera use.
I just got the 15 pro max. Love it. Battery takes a hell of a usage during my day. I use it at work for podcasts, videos and games on lunch break. I use it after work with the kids at the park and my son plays subway surfers on it. I unplug at 350am and plug in before bed at 930pm and still have 10-15%. I use the puck so it’s only 15 watt and maybe extends my battery health.
I always went for the Pro but this year i feel that i want to try the Pro Max, i ordered the 15 Pro but since i went to the Apple store i want to get the Pro Max !! I have quite big hands, initially i wouldn't get the 14PM with the heavy weight but now since it's lighter and more rounded it's better to use it !
Update : I finally received the 15PM but didn't liked it, still too big for me. In between size would be perfect, let's see next year !
@@anothervisionofthings😂😂😂
Last year I got the pro max and then dropped to the pro because of the weight. This year I went with the pro max. Love it!
😂 glad you’re happy
Isn’t it to heavy or difficult with the hands now? 😊 thanks

Thanks for the video. I’ve been contemplating on buying 15 pro or 15 pro max. I want the 5x telephoto so bad. But after watching your video (i’m currently using iphone 14 & love small phone), i decided to get 15 pro instead.
I have the 15 PM now. Got use to it after a day or two but think I’m going to return it. Feels like I’m holding an iPad mini.
🤣
Haven’t upgraded my phone since the 11 pro max, big factor for me in upgrading is better battery life, so when I saw a video on how quickly the battery dies on the 15 pro, there was only one option at that point
I got the regular Pro, coming from a Max sized Android. The first couple days I wanted to exchange it to the Max, but now that I’m used to it, I honestly love the size. Feels so good in the hand (Ladies… you know the procedures). The battery is the only thing for me, I got chargers everywhere I got my phone so it’s yet to be an actual issue.
I am also switching from the Samsung 22 ultra, and was debating getting the smaller iPhone. Is the battery worse than your Android?
guess the new chip is the reason but who knows...
One of the main problems I have with large screen iPhones is they are so limited in what you can do with the screen real estate, my old Galaxy S8 could do split screen which came in handy occasionally.
Multitasking on a phone is so freaking cheesy,you wanna multitask a tablet like a normal person
@@josephpepe2607average iPhone sheep comment
I prefer the pro over the pro max. I traded in my 14 pro max and the 15 pro is indeed smaller, but I will get used to it. I don’t have huge hands so for me the size is perfect. Plus phone cases as so much bulk to a phone.
n im an Android user
The bulk from cases is whats really keeping me from going the pro max route.
I sent the 15 pro max and got the 15 pro. Bigger isn’t always better. I love the size and weight of the 15 pro
I have a 15 promax with the Alpine woven case, stop buying huge cases, and you won’t have to worry about it, or do like me and get AppleCare then you don’t even need a case 😂
I went with the IPhone 15 Pro Max. Which is the smallest Large out of any brand. 6.7 inch feels like 6.4 inch. The Blue Titanium is 🔥 I Love it. Huge upgrade with screen and everything feels better than the 14 Pro Max.
I heard 15 pro max is getting overheated, how is it for you so far?
@@kennys8661 well you heard wrong stop watching so many reviews
Pro Max for me. The pro is too small for me. I do lot with the phone. The battery on the Pro Max is great.
Yeah Max battery users will appreciate the Pro Max
Better for i phone 15 pro
14promax was my first max phone. It was really heavy for me to hold. I upgraded to 15pro. I'm the enjoying every bit of it; less heavier and more portable to hold, but batery drains more quick.
After using the 15 pro max for a few days - I'm very happy with my selection. The battery alone is a huge improvement from the 12 pro max. Feels fantastic in the hand and it's the first time in years that I feel my iPhone purchase is an upgrade.
Good to see you’re enjoying it. Thanks for sharing your real world user experience. Respect
@A10296 my phone got hot a couple of days ago but I was charging it on a patio outside in 98 degree weather. I haven’t had any issues otherwise even while using MagSafe charging.
@A10296 I don’t
As somebody who had the 6plus, 8plus, 10, 12plus , & 13 pro max it’s time for the smaller
No one talks about it but the 15 pro has better readability than 15 pro max -> both in display zoom mode. Yes, we can increase the text size but many apps (e.g. google maps search etc) rely mainly on display zoom. So for those of us who always need glasses to read, its very odd that we end up having less readability on the bigger screen. This is what is holding me back from getting the max.
Interesting! Didn’t know that but kinda noticed that when I was testing recently. I usually wear readers too. Ended up going with the 15 Pro.
What, it’s easier to read the smaller phone?!? What makes it easier? Do we know why that may be?
@@nvdube Its apparently something to do with some emulation ratio. Pretty wild indeed. When I had XS Max, it was better readability than XS/XR but since 12 came....somehow the aspect ratios are like that. If you go to an apple store; change both phones to zoomed view and you will notice how the smaller phone actually has bigger font!!! Now, we can increase text on the bigger phone but the effect of font change are not same as display zoom. Most apple and when trying to do quick search in google maps etc, all the menus etc are smaller in the bigger phone (despite both set to zoomed view).
If not for this, I would immediately buy the max.
@@Svbp99 I noticed that too. I thought the Max would give me better readability and it never did. It was pretty much the same. I need more to go to the Pro Max from a Pro. having said that, I like when there is more parity between the two then you don't have to go to the Max if you don't want to. I prefer the size of the Pro phones and don't want to feel obligated to go to the Max for some feature. I wish they would have done the 5X in the Pro and not limit it to the PM. And also give it a better battery. Shoot, paying a grand for it and it's a flagship phone... come on apple! lol I'm doing the Pro for one more cycle and then probably PM with the 17 or 18.
How is the battery life on both the phones ?
Got the pro. I still have my 14 pro Max and I can use one or the other whenever. I prefer the small one actually surprisingly.
Yeah the small size is nice for its convenient form factor and weight
This year the pro max is smaller and lighter
The big thing that im debating on and I feel like its not show cased or pointed out much is that everyone is hyping up the 5x on the pro max. But then forgetting that photos under 5x will suffer alot compared to the pro with the 3x. Id like the bigger screen, but dont zoom alot so makes me lean towards the pro
actually a great point, if you want a photo in the 3x range you’ll be using digital zoom instead
I have the 14 pro and the 15 pro max. The 5x is trash compared to the 3x on my 14 pro. 3x cropped in is even better than the results from the 15 pro max 5X camera. I'm probably going to return the 15 pro max for the 15 pro.
@@Tburna02 this is my exact thought process. the 5X seems too zoomed for day to day, would be nice to have both options, but if you’re going to have one 3X is better and the smaller phone is just more convenient
@@sanchaythamman I agree. I watched a lot of reviews and decided to go with the 15 pro instead. Anything under 5x is trash and so for day to day shots the pro is better imo than the max
@@nexxus_8487 couldn’t agree more and on top of that it’s just more manageable day to day
I went to the 15 Pro from a regular IPhone 11. The Pro Max is just TOO large. I traded in battery life for a smaller size and plus my previous phone, the 11 was also the same size at 6.1 as the Pro so it made sense. I can always carry a battery bank or battery case if I need battery charge for a smaller form factor and gone from a charger for hours or near my car to charge it while on Apple CarPlay. I still have AirPods Gen 2 that still use Lightning. Its the only thing I have that uses Lightning after trading in my 11. I have 2 powerbanks that still use MicroUSB. They still work and still use them to extend the battery on my phone when going out for hours like to an amusement park.
I was torn about the idea of upgrading my 14 pro for the 15PM, I am really disappointed with the battery performance of the 14 pro, so I ordered the 15 PM, it will arrive in a few weeks I hope I didn’t make the wrong choice because I was really used to the small form factor 🥺
Let me know how it goes for you
You can always exchange it if it doesn’t work out for you.
I upgraded from the 14p to 15pm because of battery too! Currently using my 15 pro max and LOVE IT! No regrets. Smooth edges make it comfortable to hold too. And loving the bigger screen.
You must literally live on your phone because I’ve never had a problem
@@josephpepe2607 not really, that’s what shocked me the most, perhaps it came with a defect or something, the only other thing was the because of my job I had to use cellular data all the time, not WiFi

Yeah the form factor is nice on that one
5:14 seeing them side by side, makes me wish there was a model size in-between the two.
You can have it next year
Yeah me too i want 6.4
The Pro Max screen size is incredible, everything is easier to read and see without glasses.. don’t think I could ever go back

@@josephpepe2607in settings, go to display
I hear you I have the 13 pro max that is my first ever pro max model but this year I think I’m going back to the pro model because of size and pocket space I hope I won’t regret it but I like the feel of the pro in hand so thank you for the precision as of a clearer idea between the pro vs pro max ✌🏻
Trying a regular pro this time around for the first time ever. Something clicked in my head about 6 months ago that I really wanted to try a pro this year. Liking it so far. I think the major thing that I may not like is battery but we will see..
You right about the Pro’s battery. It’s not that great.
I am upgrading from 14 pro max to 15 pro and I’m worried about the battery but I’m so tired of not being able to fit the max in my pockets, small purses or even just one handed use. I hope I made the right choice! Arriving tomorrow!
i have it, it's absolutely terrible
@@RevanParker ugh - thanks for managing my expectations - I was afraid of this so I ordered a portable MagSafe charger that folds up and charges iPhone, watch and AirPods. Hopefully that helps as needed.
I have 4 14 pros in my house there’s nothing wrong with battery life unless you literally LIVE on your phone 12 hours a day
Usually have the max version every year but going with the Pro this year to switch things up.
Does it feel like you’d use the 3x more than the 5x in every day life? I’m considering the 5x, but worried that when you want that in-between range from 2x to 5x that quality will suffer compared to having the 3x.
I'm going with the Pro with 3x. Pro Max's 5x portraits and all are no doubt better, though the in between range is also much longer for proper clicks. But I'm thinking how much time I'll use use the 5x as compared to whole day to day usage. The form factor and the weight will be a factor in daily use. Also, take into consideration which type of photos you take most.
I downgraded from 15 pro max to 15 pro, I have big hands but I didn’t like the weight and the size, the pro max it’s not comfortable at all but has better battery and to be honest probably I’ll never user all the power of both phone offers, probably iPhone 15 will be far better for most people
I’ve had the 11 pro max, the 13 pro max but really thinking of going to 15 plus since I barely use ten percent of the pro max features.
There are some items that are inaccurate -- both the Pro and Pro Max shoot Log and Prores. The only difference between the Camera Unit is the 3x vs 5x zoom.
Team Pro but not opposed to Max. Just a tad too big. The move to Titanium and slightly smaller has helped and had me thinking Max!! However, upgraded my 13 Pro to 15 Pro! Enjoying it being slightly lighter and smaller than my 13 Pro. I did flirt with the Max like I usually do when I upgrade. Lol I just couldn't give up the portability and one-handed use, which I do a lot. I just like the smaller form factor, easier on the pockets, still good battery to get through the day and good screen size. I mean we are at 6.1!! lol Remember back in the days when they were less than 5? haha This gets me as close to the 5s which was one of my favorite iPhones. And I love the Titanium Blue color with my PB FineWoven case. Now if they can just make the camera flush to the back would be awesome! Seems like the Pro Max is something to stay away from this year regarding how easily it cracks? Can't wait to see your video on that since you give good unbiased reviews! Just scribed to your channel! With all that said, when I upgrade at 17/18, good chance I do Max then. I have to do it for at least one cycle I feel like lol
planning on getting the same exact phone but is it overheating?
@@Anantadelta I am not. I've had since launch day and it's been fine.
Thank you for a really objective, real-world review. I have been pondering long and hard between the Pro and the Pro-Max. Your review and the viewer comments helped me decide on the Pro. I have only just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks Michael
BTW I like it that your viewers seem to be very nice and tolerant to each other in the comments section. No nastiness. Which is nice and refreshing. I'm sure your presentation style helps promote this sentiment in viewers. Appreciated.
I bought the Pro and have been debating the swap to the pro max but from what I see only benefit is bigger screen and if you scrutinise your pics with a magnifying glass haha then maybe the camera. I have an ipad mini 6 if I want a big screen so now I'm think it's stupid to swap so I'm sticking to my pro.
Theres a big diffrence in battery the iphone 15 pro does not last as long as the pro max version
@@HydzFN if I was using mine more and needed the big battery I'd swap but I get a full day and more from my pro and that's with Web browsing, UA-cam and gaming so it's fine for my needs. I also like being able to use my phone one handed which I can't do with the bigger pro max. Haha I guess that's why apple make the different sizes so that we can all pick what's best for us
Got the 15PM thinking about downsizing to the 15 pro. Got it cause my old phone was Galaxy s20fe and had a larger display and got used to it. Wondering if I’d like a smaller phone(15 pro)

Team Pro Max! this is my first pro model and I’m loving the 15 Pro Max with the new MagSafe popsocket makes it easier to handle and the screen/camera is insane! Great video 👍🏽
Popsocket 😂😂😂
One of the best comparisons out there! Thanks @CJKnowsTECH - Subscribed!
For everyday use and usability 15P fit the majority of use cases. The main thing for me is that 5x zoom - it's not often I'd want to use it, except for special occasions e.g hiking, or on holidays.
I wonder, is there a prime lens attachment or something out there that we could bolt on to the camera to get the best of both worlds?
My 15 Pro Max should be arriving tomorrow. I'm upgrading from an iPhone XR. I went big because I started using my XR as an e-reader even though I have a couple e-ink devices that is designed for that sort of thing. I always went back to my phone for reading books, though, so for me my phone is the ideal reading device.
i also have a XR phone and planning on going for the pro max, does it feel better? or its too heavy to use?
The only reason I’m buying one is because I obliterate my 13 Pro in August, I had a spare 13 mini. Started to use it and absolutely love it but I’m use to the macro lens of the pro. So I will buy a 15 Pro, and swap between the Pro and my mini.
Came from the 14 pro to 15PM the ONLY reason I made the switch was due to battery and I’m back and forth between taking the 15 back and going back to the smaller phones….however, the common denominator to me on what’s making me keep this is the weight…this pro max is light as a feather
Going from 13 Pro Max -> 15 Pro. Not that my current phone needs replacement, but I miss the smaller size.
I understand
After using the pro max for about a month I am still contemplating switching back to the regular sized pro version. I’m glad the holiday return window was extended because i’ve needed every single additional day that has been added because although the battery life has been great for me and so has the 5x zoom which I will dearly miss if i do go back. I don’t think it’s enough for me to sacrifice the size of the phone. A phone is supposed to be small and practical and the pro max just isn’t that for me. I have an iPad mini which i can use for gaming and video watching.
iPhone 12 promax had to replace it once with Apple care which totally sucks and replacement was New and it sucks totally hate it. So trying the 15 Pro so see what happens and its smaller which i like more .
Do you think the battery on the Pro will be fixed with the software update?
just ordered my 15 pro max, coming from a iphone 11. this is a huge upgrade for me.
That is a nice upgrade...let me know how you like it once you get it
Went with the pro this year. After two major surgeries on my right wrist, I simply can’t handle the size and weight of the pro max. So far I am happy with the pro.
Had Notes from the Note Edge to the 20. Got a 12 pro max. Loved it. Went with a 15 pro on launch day. I want something small as my personal device. I can use the 12PM to watch YT/play games
Understood! Man big phone fatigue is real. The Pro is a nice size phone
@@CJKnowsTECH yeah back in the day these would be called phablets like a Samsung Mega 😂 now they’re just Max or Ultras versions
@@KingTechHD right
If you were thinking of upgrading from 14pro max to 15pro would you be downloading, upgrading, or staying the same. As want to upgrade but don’t want the size of the pro any more.
Biggest downgrade will be in battery and screen size…other than that if you don’t have a need for the 5X zoom lens not really. But you’ve been accustomed to the Max battery life. If you can get passed that you should have a good user experience. Follow your gut

Hi, I'm 13 years old and I've decided I want to switch from Android to iPhone. I'm debating between the 15 Pro and the Pro Max. I don't need a crazy phone with crazy performance, but if the difference between the two phones is only $100, then I think it's better to spend that $100 for a slightly better phone. I would appreciate if someone who has the Pro Max could tell me if it is comfortable for daily use and if it is too big for the hand, and how it is in general as a phone,
I would appreciate it if you could express your opinion and help me choose
Which one did buy pls tell me I wanna buy to I'm too confused 😅
Great information thanks
I'm coming from an android phones to my first iPhone ever and I'm debating between the 16 pro or 16 pro max I'm leaning towards the pro max because it's the top of the line iPhone and I want my first iphone experience to be great
Ive been rocking promax since the 12, after playing with my kids phone and comparing video size and readability it wasnt that much of a difference and i was saying why watch anything on my phone when my ipad is just collecting dust and i said im going smaller this year and going with the pro, it is the perfect companion to my ipad, now my everyday carry is pro phone + ipad media combo, plus it saves my battery splitting up the everyday consumption
Understood!
That can’t be understated more when splitting up the battery like that. I do that too!!
An iphone with a screen size of around 6.3" would be just perfect!
Next year
Wait until next year
ok .since charging the phone regulary during the day is the best way to save battery life.. The battery thing does not add.. the most important is to buy a system where your phone could be charged faster and often than having a bigger battery that you expect to keep for days with no charging, charging often keeps the life of the battery cells longer.
I went with the pro perfect size Max is too big
In love with the size and weight of my 12 pro but I need the battery life. I just got my 15 pro max and it lasts me all day, all night without needing to switch to low power mode or cranking the brightness down, once the pro models have atleast 4500 mah, I will consider it

I went from iphone 7 to xs max and have since then been perfectly fine with rhe bigger phones. I also manage to do pretty much everything one handed other than typing (obviously), I could if i wanted to, but two handed is naturally just quicker. I’ll be upgrading to 15 Pro Max

CJ: 1 TB is target feature! Facts point to Max! Super appreciate your commentary though as always, brother of blessed blurb! It’s clarity along with urban smarts. Be blessed! 🙏🏽
the problem with the max it doesn't fit on my pocket, if it does it will just sticks out and high possibility of falling. I love the bigger screen and battery.
Yeah the Pro is more pocketable
Going for the pro max is definitely a better option this year compared to last year. Mainly because of the difference in weight. 20g on paper doesn’t seem like a lot but for something you always hold, the difference is immediately noticeable.
And year by year, hopefully it drops further down as Apple finds ways to reduce certain components but keep performance of said component just the same if not better.
Why though? Pro max literally just has better cameras... The average joe does not even need that. The Pro is a no brainer for people who usually pick the standard models and want a bump in performance. Pro max is superfluous to people like that, including myself.
I preordered the 15..but I’m seeing all these flaws coming out that’s making me have second thoughts.
1. The back cracking easily
2. Battery life
3. Overheating
Is it worth getting? Should i wait till next year? Super conflicted 😅

I'm curious about having two phones. Does the 15 Pro Max have the electronic or physical sim card and can you have two sims on the same phone?

I believe the perfect iphone size is the 12 and 13 mini. Since they are no longer made on newer models, I upgraded to the 15 pro max since battery was the only issue I had with the minis. It still fits in my shirt pocket just with the extra weight, so, so far so good!
The mini was great. I’d actually enjoy one that is smaller than the mini
I went for the bigger size and I’m a lot on my phone scrolling through websites, social media, etc. Max is far better for me.
I have 14 Pro Max and Popsockets or some ring holders are a BIG help.

Samsung Folding phones are still heavily compromised. Im primarily an iPhone user but had the fold 2-3-4 as my secondary device. Every time I swapped the sim into the fold, I was back on the iPhone within 2-3 days. The thin tall screen was tough to type on and when I opened the phone, I had to use 2 hands.

For me Pro Max is better. If they would’ve made Purple 15pm i would have upgraded, maybe on 16pm. If not then i upgrade my battery instead.
Seems the Pro takes better pictures than the Pro Max. I ordered an iPhone 15 Pro instead of the Pro Max this time because it's been a headache trying to stick that Max in purses 😆
Same!
Please don’t spread nonsense
@@zoltanzana Glad Pro Max fits in your purse. I don't carry big purses so it isn't nonsense
@@ShevonnePolastre You get the wrong end of the stick. It takes better pictures??? Tell me more.
Hey CJ, great video bud. Can’t help but notice your glasses are bent, which I guess you have adjusted to fit your head. Top tip: instead of bending the arm, heat the nose bridge with hot air (hairdryer) and bend the bridge inwards. This makes a tighter fit on your head, rather than having bent (left) arm. Remember, whenever you bend, heat first. Same goes when you straighten the arm. Carefully, don’t snap em!
Thanks for the tips! Fun fact they came like this😂 but I’ve been planning on reducing the bend. Thanks
Maybe the size but I have dropped my iPhone 12 pro max way less than previous models... I think because I use with two hands. When I use the pro size with 1 hand I tend to drop it more frequently. I wanna go pro this time around, but I feel like I will drop it and I rarely ever drop the larger device.
Camera videos look amazing CJ… so glad they went Titanium to reduce the weight…
Camera quality is nice
@@CJKnowsTECH when you do your 1 month reviews… let us all know what you think about the weight difference compared to the 14 Pro Max… I feel the weight a lot having upgraded from a standard xs 😂🤣
i phone 15 pro is most ❤ smaller beautiful inhand feel
Hi, i have a question i’m currently with an iPhone 8 Plus and i don’t know if i should go for an iPhone 15 pro or pro max (the size of the pro max kinda scare me). I'm mostly on social media and UA-cam if I'm upgrading I will put games like genshin impact and take pictures (I kinda started to take of the nature with my 8+) should I go for x3 or x5 zoom and is 256gb enough, Does the pro battery with be enough. My torn between the white titanium and the natural one (does the natural look good with vibrant case). so much questions sorry 😂
