The iPhone 15 Pro Max has been out for 6 months now and when I first received this phone I thought it was the best iPhone experience in years, however, there were a bunch of controversies surrounding this phone when it first launched that really clouded the coverage... so after six months is the iPhone 15 Pro Max overrated? Or is it still worth it? - Наука та технологія

Think I’ve just found my new fave video thank you ❤
Hi did you ever drop your phone? Some folks complain how back glass breaks even in the case. Ty
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day!
Hey Greg! Long time no see!
Just swinging by to say congrats on over 300k subs! Keep up the great work !🙏🏻
(Also off topic, can DEFINITELY see your gains progressed a ton!💪🏻 keep it up!)
Thank you so much 🙏 And I’m trying haha 💪
I have the iPhone 15 pro and it might be my fav iPhone I’ve owned since the iPhone 4 👍🏼🔥
you are still poor good😂
@@AlexMkd1984 what kind of comment is this? 🙄
I really appreciate you acknowledging your bias while reviewing. Some particular ytubers love to bash certain phones while acting like there's only pros to their phone and only cons to another
Only 4 months on the stores how can it be 6 months of use on your hands? You got it on July before even announced?
i am so glad i went with the 1TB Model of the white model to do Prores videos in 4K 60 so glad i got this phone i have going to keep it for Years to Come at least 5 to 7 years before i upgrade again the battery life is super cool and my phone is still at 100% battery life. i use my phone for video recording and playing music through it and use it for My Church Ministry I enjoyed the video keep up the good work
For the action button try putting something else thab a feature as easily accessibleas the camera
What 6 months is he talking about? Now is 2 of Feb - 4 months max, but 15 Pro Max wasn't available in September. He is lying
6 months? Did you get yours on August 1st? I got mine on 22nd of September! …barely 4 1/2 months ago? So why claiming to have it 6 months on February 1st?
Yeah im confused on that as well
Sept - Feb 6 months. Sorry it makes for a better title than “5 months and 1 day ago.”
In US they started counting the first month when others countries starting next month
@@Mezzocripincorrect
@@GregsGadgetsUhmmm… it went out mid September. Barely 5 months since the release date.
Nice do you advise the HK Version?
I returned the 15 pro max and returned to my 12 pro max and I’m happy it’s overrated.
Why?
@@mr.aleximerios updates are efficient now and you really don't need the extra 0.2 seconds to launch apps faster

hello, I wanted to ask you some questions about the Iph15 PM, if you want to answer me, I'm also debating whether to take it or not...does it overheat? does the titanium frame scratch easily or does the back break or bend? there are so many complaints on the internet as if it is the weakest model built since the iPhone... theoretically it could fix the overheating only through an update reducing the performances, otherwise it is impossible, as if you were trying to fix the disaster caused by a bomb in Nagasaki by update
No heat issues here bought my phone March 2nd and manufacture date December.
I've been out of the iPhone market for around 7 years, and I just picked up the 15 Pro. I'm very happy with the size of the phone. It seems like the other manufacturers make their enthusiast phones huge (there are exceptions, but I'm talking more about Samsung and Google). Happy with my choice so far.
Do you go without a case or is that for the b-roll you didn't use one?
I love my 15 Pro Max, coming from an 11 Pro Max. I believe the action button should've been placed above the power button to make it feel more like a "new" button instead of on the same place as an old one, which made it less noticeable and easy to reach.
It certainly is more than what I need today, but I'm that user who spend years with the same gadgets and believe the 15 Pro Max will stay with me for some 5 years at least. Thanks for the video!
My problem with most every phone available, is that 6 months later everyone's asking should you wait for the next version. I usually buy on the 3rd update. I went from 6, 12 because it was the first 5G, i will wait for the 16 or 17, non pro or Max on any version. I still rock my 2015 MacBook Pro because it still works.
I think now's the best time to upgrade, 15pro/PM has the first and fast usb-c . 16/17 will have minimal upgrade, maybe some additional AI on which they are lagging behind Samsung.
mine has been great! battery life is incredible, and love the natural titanium color. coming from an iPhone SE 2, hahaha.
Awesome upgrade
I had to wait a month to get mine. It's been over 3 months now and it's maintaining 100% battery life. Loving that!
I got an iPhone SE 2 should I change to IPhone 15 pro max? Or should I wait
@@firebeast9281 the 15 pro max is rlly nice, i dont see the point of waithing for some minor upgrades to the 16 line up.
I use the action button on my black ti as a flash light very handy
The size of the pro max iPhones doesn't cause any weight issues for me personally, the size issues come down to iOS not being "one handed friendly". I switched to the S23 Ultra last year and being able to flick down on the home screen (from anywhere on the screen) to bring down the notification and quick settings panel is really nice because this is also a big phone. On iOS you HAVE to use two hands because iOS doesn't do that. It makes you reach all the way up to the top of the screen and swipe down to get to the notification shade and quick settings panel. Also, I use the one handed mode on my S23 Ultra every single day because it's actually useful. Activating one handed mode literally just shrinks the full size of the screen down to the bottom corners and I still have access to the ENTIRE screen. Whereas on iOS one handed mode brings the screen down BUT... it cuts the screen in half! So you only get access to the top portion of the screen... What in the world am I supposed to do with that?? All I'm saying is I really hope apple implements better gestures in iOS 18 because I will be switching back to apple (regrettably) because all my friends and family use apple and not being able to use iMessage, FaceTime, and airdrop with my friends and family is extremely irritating. For them mostly... Lol not so much for me 🤦🏼♂️
True, I had these issues with iPhone 7 plus. Incredible they did not fix these issues yet. Miss Steve for this.
I don't really like it but I normally stick with a phone for two years I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I'm waiting for the iPhone 16 Pro Max or Ultra
15 pro max from the 2nd gen se and im loving this big chonky phone
I have a jump upgrade I currently have the 14pm I got it exactly a year ago I’m torn of if I should get it or wait or get the s24 ultra
Wait :O
I have had both and I think while nothing Is “Revolutionary” there are big changes:
1. Hardware Ray Tracing,
2. More Ram,
3. Faster chip set 3nm
4. USB C with 10GB transfer
5. Action button,
6. Better battery then the 14PM
7. Titanium
8. 5x Telephoto lenses
9. 48 Megapixel main camera
10. Portrait mode auto 24mp
11. Log coding
12. Academy Color Encoding System
13. Record 3D spatial video
14. second-generation Ultra Wideband chip
15. Dedicated AV1 decoder
16. 6-core GPU
17. New Ultra Wide camera
Etc…. Enough said there’s allot of changes here:)
I have my iPhone 15 Pro Max set to record 1080p60 by default. That's plenty for capturing memories without taking up excessive storage space. But when I am in a situation where I want to take a nice video for uploading to youtube or similar, I turn up the quality. I haven't used Pro-res yet though.
For me, my iPhone 15 pro max is nowhere near halfway through its life cycle. I will probably keep it until it can no longer support iOS software updates, it’s way too expensive to upgrade every year, especially here in Australia, one of the priciest countries in the world lol.
avoid iphone garbage people who buy iphone are stupid 😂
Trying to determine if I'm going to get the 24 Ultra, wait for iphone 16 to come out or get Iphone 15 pro max. Currently have a Samsung galaxy note10 plus. I got a Apple watch 9 for Christmas so I have hard decisions to make here hmmm 🤔
@@niel.otos1425Get the S24 Ultra, you won’t regret it
Ultra!
@@ColoCulture can you elaborate on that ultra choice? i'm confused between those 2 as well
@@shiv1275 If you can get the S24u go for it. I had the S23u for a few weeks and have the 15pm now. Using both S24u and iPhone 15pm daily and the galaxy has a lot more to do but the iPhone camera is still better. Best option would be the phone you can afford but the S24u is the most fun right now
Battery health now?
It's really amazing the fact that you are a heavy user and after 6 months your battery health is at 100%! I have a iPhone 13, and less than 6 months later, my battery live is at 93% and that makes me really sad. Do you have any tip that you can give about that? Looking forward that my husband give me an iPhone 15 pro max as a christmas gift! 🎀🎄
At this point, yeah. Wait.
Just don't expect any meaningful upgrades. Smartphones are at scale now.
Hi! And the problems with overheating and crashes, how are those?
I believe that was addressed with updates like 4 months ago. Is there no Internet or cellular connection where you are?
Hi Greg! 🙋♂️
Hi 👋 do you experience glitches in the control center when changing brightness and volume sliders manually?
i got this phone and im so happy i got this phone after form the 12 pro max and i also know that the pockets is annoying but i got the pocket issues down and i lvoe the phone and i love the new 120 hrtz and other stuff and noticed that the small bezels too great phone but if ur from a 14 or even 13 prox max dont even so yeah but i lvoe the new screen the dyanmic island is fun and that old notch is gone and now its being used at least
So do you think it’s more durable than others said it was? I was scared after I purchased this phone as it was so expensive!!!
I believe so I haven't had any issues with mine and I use it without a case.
@@GregsGadgets i got pro I enjoy it I my first ever pro iPhone
I just put mine in a rubber baby bumper case and it looks great and works great! Paying for a good protective case is more that worth it. I didn't go overboard in a complete sealant, but it works nonetheless. I do this to all my phones.
My iPhone 13 Pro Max after a couple Apple cases held up just fine in a rubber protection I paid $30 bucks on Amazon.
Given how easily JR damaged the back glass on the 15 pro max , I'd say that is a definite weaker spot , there seems to be a hollow spot behind the back glass.
Compared to the 14 pro max which I own which has taken an absolute beating and still looks pristine , for me the 15 doesn't look like much of an upgrade , and I actually prefer the more utilitarian build of the 14 series , and the tiny bit of extra weight on the 14 I'm fine with.
About the only thing I see as something I wouldn't mind having from the 15 on my 14 is the USB port , but it's not a big deal.
No interest in the 15 series for me , I'll wait and see how the 16 series looks.
@@saintkenny9296Many people complain about their 15PM back glass breaking after droping even with the very good case on...
I’m still on 12 Pro Max but soon as the 16 comes out, I’m getting it
based on the durability id wait fr the next one even if it doesnt improve i might well get a discount
0:18 - I feel like Greg put this in at the beginning just saw the video will be relevant in a month and a half when it really has been 6 months. 😂😂😂
Im thinking about getting the 15 pro max, I kind of want the usb-c and bigger screen, but I have a lightly scuffed 14 pro and I definitely have no issues with it, its a beautiful device I just think I would benefit a good amount from the bigger screen, pro-log footage and future proofing will make it my last iphone in a while. Also. PS. I see you in Montclair haha.
Great video
This was my first iPhone along with the Ultra Watch 2 and it was very frustrating. I don't understand certain limitations of the software. It feels half baked. Just picked up the S24 ULTRA.
You are a perfect customer for those Samsungs.
13:36 that's a nice jacket
I plan on using this device until it is no longer being supported or until it can’t play the latest graphical games.
I still have major over heating when playing Resident Evil Village. After just 10 minutes I get concerned the phone is going to get damaged. Anyone else experiencing this? My OS is up to date.
Take it out of the case when gaming.
15 pm any overheating issue
no
Love everything about my iphone 15 pro max 1tb. Had it from day one on preorders. Comming from an iphone 12 pro 256gb. Extremely big diffrence on the iphone 15 pro Max. My first iphone was the iphone 5, had it 4years then upgraded to iphone 7plus. Had that for 4years. Then got the iphone 12pro. Had that for 3years. So basicly i upgrade my phones every 4years. LoL love my new iphone 15 pro max
My main problem is that the screen is so scratch prone. I understand when you make the front glass more drop resistant the glass becomes more scratch resistant. But this seems insanely scratch prone.
My screen is fine for the most part maybe a small scratch that you have to angle just right to see but if screen is on you can not see any scratches
@@GregsGadgets yeah I honestly don’t know what is causing scratches on mine.
I don’t mean to sound like a smart ass but I just use a screen protector is there a reason you wouldn’t wanna use one?
@@Floridaprophet you would be amazed the number of people that are offended by the idea of using a case or screen protector. I do use one now
Love my 15 pro max
Great phone!! I love it
I always use Anker products, they are quality and outlast all others …
I got the 15 Pro Max, I had upgraded from the 12 Pro Max & you can tell the difference with the weight.
My new 15 iphone camera isnt that clear, did i get a bad one?
Me too I’m wondering the same thing I’ve only had it for a week but my window time frame to exchange is closing soon
I could have squared the s twenty two ultra had rate tracing, so apple is barely catching up.
Nice video
They always are over hyped. I’m making a switch this year. I’m going to google and getting out the Apple web hopefully the pixel pro 9 is good
Managing my 13 pro max and waiting for 16 pro max
I think for the iPhone 16 there should be a 6.7 iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 16 pro max since the plus and the pro are so close in price and the fact that you get more on the pro while sacrificing screen size.
iPhone 16 6.3in
iPhone 16 Plus 6.7in
iPhone 16 Pro 6.7in
iPhone 16 Pro Max 6.9in
Six Months? iPhone 15 Pro Max was released in September 22nd 2023. It won't be 6 months till March 22, 2024. Try a little over 4 months since it released. The new iPhone is a good almost 8 months away from now. Time frames bro!
Good video. But for the love of god, can you guys stop saying pro Max is too big bacause you want to put it in your pocket? Pro max is for ppl who don't cara about this, they want a large display. And btw who uses this phone without a case?
Only reason to upgrade is usb-c and that’s pretty sad
a green wig would look so 2000s on you dude🤣
Thank goodness I have a handbag to put my phone in. I never put it in my pant pocket. Male issue, I guess. So size is great!
Yeah. I'm a dude and can't stand to carry anything in my pockets. It's uncomfortable and unattractive to do so, IMHO. I have a variety of bags in different styles just for this reason. I think a man who carries bulky things in their pockets always looks like a 4yo child. I love the 15 pro max size, especially since I have larger than average sized hands.
Not halfway through its life cycle, but halfway to the 16 release.
Still waiting for game demos on the iPhone. Really disappointed no one is using the new iPhone for what apple intended, a portable gameboy.
LOL! I'm pretty sure Apple intends the 15 be used for a lot more than just gaming.
this iphone 15 pro Max is fire 🔥 looks good ❤❤
is my count off? 6 months? or just a little rushed for the video?
6months ? Feeling bad for TIM COOK 😂
I’m using a 7 plus so it’s way time to upgrade. Thing is I’m not overjoyed with the security & rumors of changes coming with the 16 are making me hesitate. What I *really* want is two factor on the same device using two strongly personal elements. By preference, retina (unlikely) or iris (quite feasible) from front camera, fingerprint, and the current facial recognition. Two of the three would do it. With the push in gaming an increase in RAM would be a good thing too; that also is rumored and would be worth a bit of a wait.
The improvements with the camera are exciting but there too rumor has it the optical zoom may increase (8X? 10X? Dunno). Less may be more-unless an intermediary optical level is still available. Your observations about digital zoom are well taken.
Much to consider. Your reviews are solid from a real-world perspective and help me (and my family) ask the right questions. Much appreciation!
I have an 8 plus and I’m nervous about upgrading as well or just getting an iPad and keeping my 8 plus
I don’t think you would lose anything by upgrading; depends on your expectations. For me, going from the 7 plus considering the Pro Max I’d want premier functions & I’d expect them to work. That doesn’t come cheap-okay, I can live with that *if* the product I’ve bought includes best tech at the price point.
In other words, if Apple were to hold a feature back for a later year that they could just as easily have included in this model *just* to have something for the next model that would break the implied trust between manufacturer & customer. If the feature significantly increased cost, excluding it might have made sense.
A long time ago when IBM only sold huge computers they weren’t always good corporate citizens (this story is one reason why they became GCC…) As such part of their systems included printers. They came at multiple speeds and they were expensive. I don’t know the exact figures but an increase from what I believe was the medium low speed to the pretty darn fast speed-same quality-doubled the monthly contracted lease price. Okay, increase value increased cost you might think. But here’s the rub: the upgrade? Some engineers come in and move a belt on the printer from one internal location to another. Ten minutes later, high speed printer. The DOJ didn’t see it that way and considered it (and similar “upgrades”) types of fraud. A massive lawsuit resulted. End result was an infamous “consent decree” that IBM operated under for decades. I know for a fact they chafed under its constraints towards the end as the computing landscape had evolved-the MS-DOS/PC-DOS debacle and the unfortunate fate of OS/2 being two examples. But corporate culture *had* changed at IBM, or so I understand…
Anyway, how this relates to Apple is only as a cautionary tale. It is well known in the industry buy people by nature can be careless & reckless. I hope that Apple has better regard for their customers. Which circles back to the 15 vs. the 16. 😅
waiting for Sept so I can buy the heavily discounted iPhone 13
Still rocking my 13 Pro Max, works and looks like new. Battery health is at 84% capacity, still lasts well.
At this point we’re in February, no point in getting the 15 pro max now.
you made a good call. I upgraded from 13pm, basically the same phone but noticeably lighter with a few camera upgrades. battery life has been a bit worse than 13pm too. Overall it's a decent upgrade but not worth upgrading from anything above 13.
I have a mini and the 15 Pro Max. I use my mini like 90% of a time. Pro max is still too heavy with a case on. And the shots actually looks the same when taking normal photos and videos
Am on iOS 17 love it! No
you really trippin about the size of the iphone lol smfh they do offer smaller iphones dude
How can an iPhone that just got released 6 months ago be halfway thru its life-cycle???? This makes no logical sense. I think this should be determined by iOS compatibility, and not the age of a device, especially when the device is only a few months old.
You actually watch Jerry Rig? 🤣
I have this phone but S24 Ultra is better right now
I have a 14 pro max and I didn’t see any reason to get the 15,maybe I’ll wait until the 16 pro max comes out,
Battery sucks imo
You’ve only had the 15 pro max for 4 months. And you have to wait 8 months for the next iPhone.
I can’t tell any difference from my 14 pro max
I hated the action button and how light the titanium is. Went back to my 14 pro max for the weight and volume switch 😂
why not do standraad bye iPhone max 2 terabyte
I love all the iphone-stans have been all over the JerryRigEverything test as saying the bend test is unreliable.. If it was an android phone, they'd be all over it as being 'accurate and fair'.
Man the **** up! “The Pro Max Is a little too big for my pants pocket” 🙄 Mr. UA-camr…you sure you want the 16 Pro Max…check your mental self! ❤️🤗😉
that’s only your problem bro, stfu
have a 13pm as my first iphone. fell inlove wth it instantly.. looking to upgrade.. but dat dynamic island ugly as fck... imma move back to samsung.. aint buying anthr iphone wth dynamic sh*t..
Titanium is really just another gray object in this gray saturated culture. So I still have my gold iPhone 13 Pro. I was going to get the 15 Pro, because I usually update every other year, but when I checked it out at an Apple store and saw it was just a ubiquitous gray thing, and not much lighter than my 13 Pro, I was disappointed. I’m hoping that the 16 Pro will give me a little bling for my bucks. Until then I’m rockin my naked and beautiful gold iPhone 13 Pro.
I went from the 13 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max and love the new iPhone. Even that being said, I didn't really have any serious complaints about my 13 Pro Max. It was still a very good iPhone.
i hope they can bring back the gold in iphone 16 @@saintkenny9296
I had also 13pm, "upgraded" it to 15pm ...sometimes I miss the steel/sharp edges + I preferred the notch over this dorky d-island. 13PM was the pinnacle of iPhone design. (14-model was a filler episode)@@saintkenny9296
Ur 13 pro is no different from the 12 pro… appple has been making the same phones since the 11 atp 🤦♂️ don’t know what u expect from a shitry company like apple 💀
The iPhone 15 pro max is not “half way through its lifecycle cycle” lmfao. Just because the next iPhone comes out doesn’t mean the life cycle of the last phone is over.
Greg so cute ❤
They have to trained , half way though it’s life cycle? $$$$$$
Apple always has software bugs
This will be my last phone from Apple.
Bye bye 👋 you won’t be missed.
You will be back lol😅
So the iPhone 15 Pro Max is “Way lighter than the iPhone 15 Pro Max”. Got it😏
The Apple Watch looks like a Clicklet
6 months are halfway life cycle? For an iphone?
Ok.
I think that would be 3 years actually.
But hey, even if you did it on purpose, you have +1 comment on +1 view on this video.
Nice
Don't wait for the iPhone 16 pro. Just buy the s24 ultra 😅
That bend test was so stupid….
”Look, we ran this Lamborghini straight into a brick wall at 40 kph and it crumbled like aluminum foil! What cheap garbage!”
Who the hell in a real life scenario is going to grip their phone like that and bend it?
His excuses for the iPhone cracking in the JerryRig test is maybe he did something else to it to weaken the Frame lol. Wow now that's an Apple politician lol. Ive never heard that one yet . Not sure which was worse. That or him being in love with how the phone looks in the right lighting . Weird and ridiculous , mostly weird . Especially since its looked pretty much the same for the past 5 years . I know every maker has their one sided reviewers but Apple sheep are by far the worst !
iPhone's are just so overhyped, mainly due to crap iOS which feels stuck in 2010.
Pixel 8 Pro all the way. Stock Android
Its time to buy s24 ultra.. no more iphone
