    It's been exactly two months since I got the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. Has it replaced my Galaxy S23 Ultra? Did Apple manage to fix the overheating issues I was getting in the first few weeks? I also share some useful hacks I learned recently which make the iPhone 15 Pro Max way more useful by combining the Action Button and Siri Shortcuts.

    I just spent some time travelling with a 15 Pro Max and a Leica M11 with an extremely expensive Apo 35 lens.
    The iPhone produced some excellent images. Not a patch on the M11 of course but truly a great lightweight alternative.
    My iPhone is the 1Tb and I was able to use the phone instead of a laptop for editing Ava image backup. Really got to love that.

Main priority for me is the camera and my Pixel is still fantastic in that regard. By the way, love the Senna helmet!

I own an S23 Ultra as my daily like yourself, and I love the thing totally. Best android device ever. By a mile.

But honestly, if that doesn't help it may be the case to take it to a genius bar and see if there is something wrong with the hardware

    @porscheoscar 6 місяців тому +1

    I just upgraded my headphones (IEMS) and decided to add the bluetooth adapters. The sound quality even over bluetooth is stunning at realtive low cost for both the IEMS and bluetooth adapaters. Literally peanuts for top shelf sound quality that I used to pay $600+ from companies like Shure (that required a headphone cord). I haven't used Apple for music streaming or anything else really especially since I pay for UA-cam Premium and Amazon Music. I guess people who use Tidal already knew this but come to find out that the $1400 USD iPhone 15 Pro Max still can't err I mean won't decode Hi-Res Bluetooth Codecs other than its own AAC. Which really corners you into either using the dongle or having to invest in a external DAC with the antenna thing (even for it's own propietary Apple lossless files!). I mean for an audiophile who just spent $1,500 USD on a phone.... deal breaker. Especially with Android apps like Wavelet which have dozens of AKG, Sennheiser sound profiles built in. But good news for Airpods sales Mr. Tim Cook.

      I’m thinking of the iPhone 15 pro max but music via headphones is important to me .. are the Samsung phones a lot better ? .. I am using the mark levinson no 5909 ? .. it’s hard to find any reviews of sound quality .. many thanks …

    • @porscheoscar
      @porscheoscar 6 місяців тому

      @xl5man the iPhone is fine for headphones especially with the $9 Apple dongle. The advantage Samsung has is that you can skip the dongle altogether still get extremely close sound quality wise with an inexpensive Bluetooth DAC that connects to headphones cable port. Basically with the Samsung, any wired headphones can be made into wireless with a small clip-on Bluetooth DAC and you don't lose any of the sound stage. You can do this with the iPhone too but the rub is that you can't wireless stream most of the hi resolution music file types, especially LDAC. Which is limiting to say the least. Basically you have to be tethered to the charging port on the iPhone to enjoy the highest quality audio files whereas with the Samsung you can enjoy with or without the cord. As a workaround for iPhone, you can buy a Bluetooth transmitter inexpensively for indoor iPhone use but it doesn't support all music file types. Which is crazy. And I don't think Apple has anything similar to the Wavelet App that let's you quickly fine tune the Equalizer settings based on headphone model like the 5909. Those EQ presets based on headphone model is one of the coolest things about Android. Those presets are uploaded for free by audio engineers so you don't have to sit there fumbling. On my profile I have all the most popular headphones added so I can quickly change between the AKG tunning to Sony depending on the genre of music. Very cool when you get that one track with excessive bass or too much brightness.

    Alex, nice video as always but on software, i think this score is top high. I give 3 on 5. On my 13 Pro, i have put a shortcut with a menu linked to others shortucts, depending on focus mode. This shortcut is on my homescreen and also stay on the bottom line. Action button is nice but a little bit overated. iOS is still far behind Android for many basic things:

    1⃣ If you want to unlock easily you can't, you have to put your iPhone in position to Face Unlock and then you still an extra swipe to get your home screen.
    2⃣ If i want you want go back quick and easy, you can't, there is no equivalent to Android Back Gesture on iOS: Navigation Gestures from Left to Right and from Right to Left; you can't : only from Left to Right.
    3️⃣ If you want to write a text and use numbers easily you can't, no Keyboard with numbers row key on top, you have to install Gboard, or Microsoft Swiftkey or another, and toggle numbers line in parameters.
    4️⃣ If you want to Multitasking, you can't, no Split screen, Dynamic Island is nothing compare to Android Split View. Same for floating Windows.
    5️⃣ If you want to use the same app, with 2 different account because you have 2 separate activities, you can't, no Cloned Apps.
    6️⃣ If you like to do set up you cameras when shooting, you can't, no Pro Camera mode by default, you have to buy an app like Halide and you have to pay for it.
    7️⃣If you want to make homescreen the way you like, you can't move app icons othey way you you want, top, bottom, left, right with empty space or not, iOS tells you NOPE.
    8️⃣There is no Link To Windows app on iOS to allow me an easy connection with my Windows 💻.

      You have stated multiple points that are incorrect. I am typing on my 15PM and I have a top number row on Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard. Also, we do have a back button on iphone by swiping from left to right.
      I came from a S21 Ultra, S20, Note 8, 5, 4, 3 and Galaxy S3 and was burnt out on customizing, even with Nova Launcher. Never used split screen on any phone and several supported it. Both OS systems are great just different. The camera on the 15PM rocks minus some occasional light glare. I do miss Google Assistant and the x10 camera which I hear the S24 will drop.

      It's because of shutter speed/lag on Samsung phones. Same problem that is present for years now, on every device. Try taking a pic of anything that's moving without it being blurry - not possible. Try it indoors (even with the great lights) - pictures are unusable. No matter what the settings are. Bad camera experience is main reason I regret buying S23U, it's mediocre at best, certainly not on 1000+ bucks level.

      I'd love for what just happened to iMessage to happen to everything else. I've been saying this for a while, as consumers we shoudl be able to buy whatever device we want and that should work with everything else. It's a mess to have to get 3rd party apps to send things between my Android and my Apple devices. There should be a universal way to communicate between devices, regardless of ecosystem.

    Some don’t care about the sim tray and some need the sim tray. I’m a need sim tray person.
    So, Apple takes the sim tray from US customers, yet China gets two sim trays and the rest of the planet gets one.
    I had 2500. Budgeted for a 14ProMax and a 14Plus.
    That money is now going to my iPhone replacement, that DOES have sim trays, and more.
    A company that hasn’t forgotten its customers, and that still provides value for the price paid. Yes it’s android and that is not ideal. But apple lost a long time customer with that single fracked up move.
    If anyone is curious, my new home is OnePlus. Their UI is very iOS like which makes the transition much easier.
