  • Which one should you buy: тhe $900 iPhone 15 Plus or the $1,200 iPhone 15 Pro Max? You might be surprised to see that Apple has added a lot of features to the iPhone 15 Plus model, especially in the camera department, but the 15 Pro Max still has two key advantages that justify the $300 price difference.

    Going with the Plus. Photography is a hobbie, but 1200 is a lot of cash. If I want really good zoom, I'll use my Canon and one of my several high quality lenses. 🤷

      I got 14 plus a few months ago and pretty happy with it. 5 Times zoom on pro max is not something amazing. My Canon Powershot camera has 40X optical zoom and its pretty compact:)

    • @edtravelbug
      @edtravelbug 8 місяців тому +5

      I wish the 15Pro had the 5x zoom and I would pay extra for it. I prefer the more compact design on the Pro vs Max for pocket storage and single hand thumb usage across the entire screen. But the whole idea for me is long travel where I do not have to take an extra camera like a Canon or whatever and can be satisfied with the iPhone camera which is the 15 Pro Max nails with the zoom and other camera features. When you add the USB connect which means one standard cable now in my travel bags it is the closest thing to a home run IMO. So now I have to decide if carrying a new larger iPhone around is worth that camera zoom? I had a larger iPhone years ago and it was OK but I went back to the smaller ones due to the above mentioned stuff.

      I wish someone would do an honest review of which one is better for the average everyday consumer including price as well. I’m with you. I’m tired of every tech UA-camr thinking the pros are the only one that people should get. This year especially in my eyes the regular 15s are closer than ever before to the pros, but UA-camrs automatically assume no 120hz then it’s not worth it. I have a 13PM and an iPad 9 and I go between the two every day and have never thought, “Let my grab my 13PM cause this iPad screen if awful!” Lol! I’ve put them side by side and can hardly tell the difference even then.

    In real world battery tests the pro max battery is a few hours less than the plus - a huge difference! - when I found this out I cancelled my pro order and ordered a plus.
    EDIT: Some good points in the replies, you get smaller screen bezels on the pro (but it's far less durable if dropped) and you get 120hz. For me battery and durability were more important but the Pro does have advantages.

    I’m torn between this years models. Not a fan of the regular 15 colors this year. But contrary to the impression that Apple’s charts show, the Mrwhosetheboss channel just did a battery comparison where the 15+ came in as the longest battery life on any iphone ever, lasting over 13 hours while the Pro Max lasted just over 11. Sadly the base pro model which I had my eye on, only lasted 9 and came in 5th place losing out to even older phones. I was not expecting that. So now I don’t know what to do. I want the blue pro color and faster USB speed, but damn I want that over 13 hour battery life of the 15+ too. But not a fan of the bigger size or color of that. Hate this dilemma. 🙁

Also noticed that the battery isn’t that great so that was also a disappointment. For the same money, I think I’m gonna get the 15 plus with double the storage and much better battery life.

And 15 plus has the longest battery life ever in an iPhone as we can see in MrWhosetheboss video. I don’t care about action button, Titanium, 256gb base memory, A17 pro chip(bcz I don’t play games in mobile) but I want that 5* Optical zoom. As per price diff I am going with 15 plus. I practically experienced only little bit difference between 60 & 120 Hz , which doesn’t matter for me

    I performed an experiment on an iPhone 12 where I would scroll text at one slower rate where the text would appear almost as if the refresh rate was infinite and then I would scroll at double that rate. This simulates what text would like like at 60 Hz and 120 Hz when scrolling. I do notice a difference. A word would appear blurry when focusing on the word at double the scroll rate when compared to the same word at half of that scroll rate. Based on this test, I do view 120 Hz refresh rate as a very nice to have but not a necessity. However, considering WiFi 6e (lot of advantages here. I work on WiFi chip development), improved camera tech (still no comparison to an actual full-frame mirrorless camera with mid-range to Pro level lenses. Ignore corny Apple marketing), reduced weight, etc, I am leaning to the 256G Byte Pro max)

    • @stefaniadjelebova

      I have thought about that but imo a refresh rate that will eat away at the strained battery of the 14pm is not worth it. the series is known for having the worst battery in recent years that degrades relatively fast. the cameras are also on the same level and they run on the same processor. I currently own a 12 pro and an ipad pro 4th gen. one has 60 hz and the other 120 hz rr and the difference is so minor i just had to check the specs to makes sure any even existed.

    Could have put stuff a little more into context. How many people really care about port data speed? I haven’t used it to transfer data in years. The better battery life that Apple advertises for the PM doesn’t show in reality, where almost all tests show the Plus takes the cake.
    Biggest bummer with the 15 Plus clearly is the screen, which many even believe to be the same screen as on the 15PM, just with variable frame rate disabled.
    I understand why Apple doesn’t want the base iPhone to go with the same screen. If it did, 90% of people wouldn’t get the Pro for what is a zoom lense, an action button and being able to play 5 games at higher settings…

    I do not agree with you.
    60hz gives a good balance for most users. Better battery consumption and it does not detract from performance.
    The Plus variant is more than sufficient for the vast majority.
    Also in the Pro variant, new hardware means new problems. Heat for example
    By the way, not all of us are experts in photography. As if we look at every photo in detail. Do not think so. So again I don't think this is a problem for the vast majority.
    And then that strange action button. I actually like that old mute switch. We bet that many users want to use the volume rocker and then click the action button.
    There are people who go to an All Inclusive resort and people who cook themselves in an apartment. They all have a good time in the end. So a little less is no problem

    One thing about “smoothness” or “realism” in scrolling: the eye tends to track the text when is moving and this may cause visual fatigue.
    This is why Apple give you the possibility of disabling the feature and go down to 60 hZ (you can find it in settings >> accesibility >> movement).
    It was first introduced in iPads that have big displays and in 1/60 of a second you move around 1 cm in normal scrolling speed, turning a little unconfortable.
    But trust me and test to keep your iphone at 60 hZ a few days: your eyes will be happier and the battery so (less fps, less drain)
