For those who weren't there: During the event every youtuber/influencer was taking pictures and videos with Marques (including myself). Even when he was shooting his hands on video. He took his time for every single person who came up to him. Respect. As I said to him "thank you for your videos"

tbh he has to other wise you can easily see from mile away some low ego youtuber making a drama out of it
Thx for the video and coverage. Kinda a tech junkie so I like to check in and see what’s the latest and what’s changed among the newer versions of the phones.. having seemingly ‘just gotten’ my 13 promax, I can’t really justify getting another 1200+$ phone for awhile.: but it’s still good to see the latest developments in apps, QOL, chip performance etc
By the looks of it, the only difference for me (as a 14 pro max owner) is: - the 5x telephoto (3x seems to work fine for me as I never really needed to zoom any further than that) - usb C port - screen brightness - chip which probably isn’t even noticeably faster - Titanium build Probably more of a difference than the 13 pro to 14 pro had (from what a lot of people said wasn’t much at all), but still not justified imo. Great video btw.
Thanks for this review on the iPhone 15. USB-C is a big deal and one of the main factors for whether or not I'd switch. Lack of fast charging is a bizzare choice by Apple. Might be worth it if Google doesn't slow down with their surveillance/adtech shenanigans.

Great video! What I’m hearing is it’s a good upgrade from like a 12, but otherwise the same phone as in the last years… It’s sad that the “top” phone on the market is missing baseline features that the competitors have had for years: fast charging, USB3+ speeds, good battery life (assuming there is no major difference from my 14Pro). Been an Apple guy for 15 years now, but the only thing stopping me from switching now is the cost of switching & iOS/MacOS. I don’t see the added value anymore from the device.

Having just switched from the 12 to the 15 pro, definitely worth it (but the base 15 is still a good upgrade if you don't care about usb 3, promotion, or the telephoto camera)
Looking forward to Apple quoting MKBHD during next product launch with: "This probably won't make a real difference to most people... it's kind of a bummer."

I like the assurance that the phone is on silent mode the old mute switch gives. I would have preferred Apple retaining the visible indication that the switch was on while implementing programmable functions
I have a 14 Pro. Stupidly, I was quietly hoping Apple would bring out something that made me really want to upgrade to something shinier. But the progress is still iterative and safe. I know Samsung’s risks sometimes send them flying off the road, but at least they show that “courage” Apple keeps talking about.

The 1x, 1.2x, and 1.5x options are not meant to be for shooting in those “multiples” of 1x, if you notice in the settings they have their lens mm equivalent next to them. It’s for photographers who want to shoot at a specific lens size.
While USB 2.0 specification has a 480 Mbit/s max speed, the spec does not require the implementing chip to be capable of transferring at that speed. The iPod I bought in 2004 supported USB 2.0, but when measured, it only supported 15 Mbit/s, way below the max theoretical speed for the spec. So yes, it also supported FireWire, but only for marketing purposes.

@idkwdym? they’re just sharing that sticking with the iPhone 14 is better than swapping for the 15 because they’re looking for bigger upgrades like a camera improvement, there’s nothing wrong with that, don’t judge people just because they have a better lifestyle then you. 🙃
Great Video as always! :) As I'm rocking an iPhone 13 Pro Max right now, I'm not really inclined to upgrade. The main reasons for me personally would be upholding the "value" by uptrading as currently the 13 Pro Max is still worth a good amount of money. And the other reason is the camera. Sure USB-C is nice and all, but it also means, as you mentioned, that all my accessories are pretty much useless now or I need to buy adapters. With no faster charging mentioned it also doesn't make a big difference anyway. The faster data transfer speeds aside. So yeah, again, mixed feelings and will only upgrade if I get a good offer through my mobile provider.

Good review as always so thanks for posting! I don’t know, this year’s update seems rather boring to me. Also, I’m not overly enthusiastic with the continued build-up of new features that makes iOS a bit convoluted. That last ad from Apple about carbon neutral was the most corny promotional video I have ever seen. While I’m pretty much married to iOS I think I’m going hold off and see how the Pixel 8 Pro and S24 Ultra pans out 🤷♂️

Iphone 17 pro won't be a big improvement over the 15 Pro if you know Apple way of doing things
I'm glad the 15 is cool piece of kit, but here in Japan the Pro is 250,000 yen, which is over $2,500. A grand more than the 14 Pro Max. Insane... I think the US prices are little more digestible, but we're talking high-end laptop prices over here. It's crazy... Either way, Marques again coming through with the quality content!

The action button is placed wrong, for the ringer switch it made sense that’s slightly out of the way to avoid accidental actions. Now with the action button you already see Markes struggling to reach it with one hand, so why not turn it into the power/Siri button and make the power the action button. From a users standpoint I don’t see the extra benefit here, and I think that Apple wanted to make manufacturing easier for waterproofing and had to remove the rocker switch, so they gave this instead. Let’s wait and see off cours.
I just hate how they headline the USB C to be their main change but they leave out on so many features they could put in the phone just so they have areas of improvement for future phones.. its the same thing that NVIDIA did when Etherium was cut off. The 40 series cards magically became 60% better than previous. there had to be a reason to buy.. so dumb how we are in a choke hold

Have been waiting to see the new phone. Have switched between android and apple over the years and wondered if it may be time to try the iPhone again.

I like both Apple and Samsung. Currently on an iPhone 13 Pro which I will be keeping until it dies. But most likely will move back to Samsung unless Apple actually makes significant leaps rather than what other phones on the marker have already achieved. They are lacking for what you actually pay for. But great review :)

These upgrades feel unexceptional to me. Nothing compelling. We'd all worked around the slow lighting cable issue with Airdrop for videos and pics, so that doesn't really matter. For all the fuss made out of the 3 nm architecture, I would've expected better performance. I am interested to see that new zoom in action though.

This definitely should’ve been a 14S instead of a 15. I was really hoping for faster charging at the very least. I do like taking RAW photos and shooting in ProRES, but at the end of the day, that’s more of an infrequent hobby. I charge my phone every day and it would e been nice to be able to get a full charge in under 30 minutes if you’re heading out somewhere. This is a disappointment. Also why did they get rid of midnight purple???? I love my purple 14 pro. I was hoping for another purple color.
My big concern with titanium is that it is extremely brittle compared to steel - steel bends, titanium breaks apart or breaks off chunks. It's a great way to save weight, but I honestly think steel might be a better long-term material for every day phone usage.

Ummm, that'll come as a surprise to folk riding titanium framed bikes which get way more abuse and stress than a phone. Ti is generally regarded as being more durable than steel for such usage. Ti in bikes also came from the Aerospace industry, who certainly wouldn't use it if it were as problematic as you claim. It does however have to be welded very carefully, if not then the welds becomes brittle. So that won't be an issue here.
Going to hold onto my 13 pro max for another year. No issue with the release. Just didn't wow me and my 13 pro max is still great. Reduce e waste a bit. Can't wait for the s24 ultra release to see if that will be my next android phone!

Is this a joke, why would you switch out a 1yo phone anyway? Waste of money and resources for incremental improvements.
As usual. Your review is the only one I need. Great job. Honestly the weight seems like it would be the biggest advantage for me. The 14 pro is heavy.
I am upgrading my iPhone 13 to 15 Plus -- The reason being 15 Plus has a bigger battery and now going to use the Dynamic Island.. the camera has better quality than then iPhone 14 Promax so this is a really big upgrade for me.. Apart from this, pro models are specifically for those who are more into photography and vlogging..
Just ordered a 256 gb Pro in natural titanium switching from a S21 (and pixel 7 pro before I killed it). I debated a Pro Max for the 5x, but did want the extra screen size (see the dead Pixel 7 Pro, I have a hard time holding too large of phones) and thought I'll probably use 3x more often than I'll u se 5x. 5x is kind of too much for a lot of my kid pics. Color and capacity were largely chosen by what was shipping soonest.
To say the upgrades are incremental is an understatement at this stage. I honestly think we should collectively move to a 2 year upgrade cycle with new model releases.

Apple could easily win over the customer base of competitors if they stopped. I'm really disliking Android more with every new version released (yes, I'm already on Android 14 beta). Apple should stop locking features such as loading apps from outside their app store, or actually using new tech right when it comes out (USB-C shouldn't have taken anywhere this long, it's actually absurd).

Well, from what I hear, USB-C was a mandatory change, because of EU-Regulations that say, that every phone on the market must have an USB-C port. Apple not wanting to have to make two different versions for the US and EU-Market, they reluctantly gave in and killed lightning. So, I guess they are aware that this is no real innovation.

Marques, good stuff. I love how you ask the tough questions. I'm on a 12 pro max and considering. Trade in price is still decent $600-800 and will be much less next year. What do you think?
Might wait until the preorder hype dies down a bit but definitely interested in usbc for all my chargers. Rockin an iPhone 12 right now so its probably about time to replace.
i still have an iphone 11 so this feels like a good time to upgrade but i dont really need the pro, the only thing that could convince me is if you could map functions to action button double-press and long-press so i could have 3 different functions for the action button. doesn't look like that will be the case for launch but im very curious to see if that will ever be added, if not ill probably end up with the basic iphone 15.

@dice1331*LOTS of the chap’s comments are silly, though:* The Pro features are literally “never seen before”, and yet he says it is not that. Starting from a 3-nm SoC with 35 trillion operations per second machine learning engine to the brightest screen to the titanium alloy enclosure to 4K60FPS raw video to satellite services. Also, the point of USB speed the chap is making is silly, because most professionals will never use it anyway as Wi-Fi is already super fast for file transfer. It is also weird that he is suggesting that Apple should lie that fast-charging can be only possible with USB-C, while it was perfectly possible with Lightning, and the reason why Apple does not do it is to not kill the battery even faster than it is degrading. Also, the chap does not understand the fact that the strength of titanium is needed to make the case thinner and even lighter, it is not about the strength per se. Finally, the idea that USB is the main feature is the stupidest yet. The most strategic change is Apple’s entrance to the hardware ray tracing acceleration game. It is already made several AAA gaming coming to iOS, but this will surely shortly be followed by iPadOS, visionOS and MacOS as the technology will be a part of M3 chips.
I'm not sure whether to buy the iphone 15 or iphone 14. I don't mind the notch on the 14, but if I'm buying a new phone to last 3 years or more, will the notch look even more dated? It seems likely, but is it really worth spending more on the 15 for that reason? If the camera is a big step up and if there is even more battery power efficiency, then perhaps. But in terms of design, are the bezels thicker on the 15? From what I've seen from the pictures they look like they are, which I dislike more than the notch. Hmm.

Personally id say ditch the new junk & get a SE 3rd Gen, how ever you should get a 15 because of USB-C, all new tech & cables will be now moving to USB-C only now.
I think the A17 Pro having the USB chip in it will result in the next iPhone basemodels to have an A17 (non Pro) without the USB chip keeping them usb 2.0 speeds
So glad I found your video! Immediate sub. I don't usually chase the latest release, but "titanium" caught my attention. Thanks for letting us know the upgrades are minimal.

Given that track record, it’s felt really weird using an iPhone several generations old as I’ve always had the most current. This was the first iPhone in a while I felt had compelling enough changes to switch. I’ve been really wanting the new cinema mode and was hoping we’d lose the dynamic island but the USB C was enough to send me over the edge.

I’m keen on upgrading my 11 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max. I suspect I’ll be more impressed with the new phone since I’m still on the 11. I like the idea of being able to charge my AirPods with the phone. And thank goodness they’ve finally changed over to USB-C. It’s about time!

You can jump to the 13 pro max and still get impressed The 120hz does most of the job The 15 is a bit faster and quite a bit brighter but that's it mostly
They really do make it easy to pass on the yearly upgrade. 14 will do just fine for another 365 days.
I think Apple should allow more variety in terms of size & make a smaller pro phone that ppl can casually use that fits in palm of hand. Still on the SE cause of size. They should’ve given the mini some time to grow. If it was the pro model ppl would def buy it.

I agree! & they definitely can make their chips work more efficiently so that it lasts longer throughout the day. A sleek, luxury small phone would be amazing to see on the line up. Especially with the colors they launched on the pro models.
I'm considering making the switch from my s22 Ultra to this. I've never owned an iPhone but I've been intrigued by them over the last few years and now that my mother and sister have switched to them I've become even more curious. More research will have to be done first of course. Thanks for the video. ✌️

I went from my s7 edge to 11 pro and it’s good but you will definitely be left with a boring phone, if you don’t care about that, the difference is minimal, a phone does what a phone does. Now on your side since most of your family has iphone you will benefit from that with messages, Apple Pay, and airdrop. I myself am thinking of going back to samsung with either for s23 ultra or wait for s24, but that’s just me, the iPhone doesn’t capture the things I want to do with how creative Samsung is, I love the galaxy buds and watch better so that another reason to go back as I don’t get the full support from iPhone. My ecosystem is more android focused, but I too wanted to test iphone waters lol.

@Carlos Reyes - Estudio y Productividad yeah can’t pass the deals, but you won’t be missing anything from not going to iPhone, in fact the opposite, it might be an upgrade in firmware( long term wise) but it will feel like a downgrade with all the features you have now that’s aren’t in the iPhone.

I'm sticking with my iPhone 13 mini. I hate large bulky phones and LOVE the mini's small form factor. It's a little powerhouse with a very good camera. I can operate it easily with one hand and plop it into almost any pocket and go. Sadly, Apple has discontinued the mini lineup. That's a shame, because there is a market for people who don't want to carry around almost tablet-sized smartphones. So no, I'm not excited at all by the 15s and will use my mini until it dies or is no longer supported.

Awesome. This will mean that I can find cheap USB cables whenever I'm on a trip or something, rather than a million different colors of lightning cables.
I have used Mac computers and Android phones forever. Little features like the same charger (USB-C ) are important to me. (Also camera is great. ) Apple took so long to get real and it annoys me, but at least they did it. Favorite thing about my Galaxy Note, is the stylus. As it gets outdated and Samsung says I can't have that anymore, I will switch. Wish iPhone had a stylus...
Can you tell when we can expect some more hands on, user experience content from you and other content creators? 😇 Like, did you guys get a chance to take home/buy an iPhone before we do? Would love to see some more while waiting on the arrival of mine! Went with the 15 pro natural titanium 👏🏼😁

they get sent pre-production units of devices before release, but there are embargo dates set before which they aren't allowed to talk about/do a major review on the phones (most likely so it doesn't affect their sales, which it will if one of the more influential creators like Marques drops a negative review). they usually have the videos filmed and ready by now but have the release dates of the video scheduled for when that embargo date is lifted by Apple. hope this helps :)

I use my iPhone 14 Pro for certain Real Estate Photography gigs. Generally if I'm filming a small apartment or using my iPhone for Ariel footage on a boom pole. So I have to say upgrading my phone is a necessity for the operations of my business, however. For Apple to release an iPhone, that is so similar to the 14 Pro almost makes it not worth while. The key features I was looking out for were, 48 MP in the other lenses and not only in the main camera. The quality drop from the different lenses is so apparent in post. Even if they could resolve the 48 MP to save raw photos at a more efficient data rate, so that it doesn't fill up the phone too quickly. It's all good an nice to announce a 5x telephoto camera but if the sensor is still 12MP is the quality of that photo still worth it?
While the addition of the action button is certainly welcome, it seems like a really obvious missed opportunity to not have multi-input customization support for it. Being able to customize it to do a thing with a single tap is cool, but they could have so easily allowed it to do something different with a long press and then another thing with a double click, or any number of other options. Just a thought.

It’s good to know that the EU is soon banning all phones that don’t have USB-C charging. It’s probably a really big reason for Apple to change from lightning to USB-C, and not really for its features (like fast charging). They might introduce that later tho (hopefully!)…
I was really looking for a screen upgrade on the pro. A tougher screen is desperately needed and this is stopping me from rushing to get one. the case is more than strong enough. Keeping my 12 pro max as can continue using all the chargers already have, otterbox, and this just is not even much better than my 12 pro max.
I have a 12Pro so I think it’s time to update. I held off on the 14 series because I knew the usb-c was coming however I thought it would be a thunderbolt. I’m kind of disappointed however, I only plug my phone in like 1x when I first get it to sync my iTunes music because I have a bunch of music that I like to keep on the phone.
That was a great summary of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I just purchased one, and I'm interested in learning all of the new features of this new upgrade.

The evolution of smartphone notches has been quite interesting over the years. iPhones introduced the concept of notches, setting a trend that Android devices quickly followed. However, Android took it a step further, refining the design by making the notches smaller and introducing innovative variations like the tear-drop notch and punch-hole camera displays. Interestingly, Apple chose not to directly copy Android's advancements and stuck with their notch design for a while. To cover up, they introduced a feature that some critics argue was more of a gimmick than an innovation: the "dynamic island," which, when you think about it, is essentially a stretched-out pattern resembling a punch-hole camera. iphone never want to accept defeat and come up with bullshit stuff to keeps the fools occupied for a couple of years, literally any android phone can have a dynamic island anywhere on their screen 😂
I'd be more impressed with the new button if they allowed customization for a short press, long press, double press, and triple press.

I am getting 15 pro max. I have been using the phone for years now and love camera capabilities as well as apple ecosystem. I use mac mini, ipad pro and apple watch. so everything is working together well. I have tried samsung in the past but I kept going back to iphone. Simply because of the ecosystem. Features on the new 15 pro max are intriguing. Looking forward to trying new camera. I am an artist and using photo reference is a must and most days I do not have my DSLR camera with me.
Today I decided to go from iPhone 13 to iPhon 15 Pro. There were a couple of reasons. First being the NFC functionality no longer worked. So can't use Apple Pay even if I wanted to. There were a couple of instances where that would've been handy as I didn't have my cards on me. Second being the phone's speakers kind of stopped working for calls unless I put it in speaker mode. A third might not be an issue with the phone but the GPS would suddenly get stuck for me at random times. Hopefully that won't be an issue with the new phone. A nice bonus will be the nicer cameras and better battery life.
Hey marques! Big fan from India 🇮🇳, appreciate the work you have been doing… keep going!! Just curious if you did ask apple why 5x zoom was added only to pro max series and not pro series iphone?😂
I think the reason for the 1.2x camera setting is that they made the lens wider to 24mm equiv, and the 1.2x gets you back to 28mm how it always was, and then they also added 1.5x to get to 35mm, ”a very popular focal length in photography”, introducing more and more photography lingo into the phone.

Excellent to the point, and as usual, no holding back on comments that Apple mite wish he had said differently … Like the held back downloading / charging speed of the USB… ‘No no children, u can’t get all the expected benefits in one go .. ‘. Thks Marques, good one.
Was an android user from 2009 until getting iphone14, my first apple product. The reason I waited was because of the charge port not matching all my other devices. I finally got sick of waiting and after buying four or five lightening cords less than a year later they get usb-c - sometimes timing can be a you-know-what

Great review Marques, still deciding if it’s worth upgrading from my 13 pro to the 15 as a content creator
I’m really starting to see what Apple is really doing here. I used to be one of those people who said all Apple does is give u a new camera and now usb-c but what they really doing is making huge upgrades for the Apple universe and they have consistently forever. They upgrade the camera just to keep up with android also the front screen. Sorry and the chip in the phone. I have realized 90% of the people who own iPhones really don’t know what all it really can do. I like to research phones so I know. I never get the new iPhone every year, I wait 2 or 3 years. Right now I have 12 pro max and I’m gonna get the 15 pro max so that phone to me will be a huge upgrade over my old phone.
For me, the highlight of the event was when Tim mentioned MKBHD on stage. It shows how good and legit your work is. What’s more impressive is that you didn’t mention that in this video and it didn’t really change you style about reviewing Apple. Keep up the good work. Waiting for the full reviews. Honestly only the Pro Max makes enough sense to buy this year.

they should’ve had the action button be a silent button no matter what…then added a secondary control on there. Maybe hold for silent and just press for the intended action instead of forcing you to chose between silent or something else
They could’ve left the nut switch as it was and make the power button the action button. It would’ve been easier to just use the right hand thumb. But how replaceable will this button be?
Coming from the XS Max hope it delivers like this phone did. Only reason I’m getting the 15 is because my battery takes forever to charge. I could’ve got a new battery but wanted a new phone
One of the most incremental updates ever. When USB-C is the headliner you know there's absolutely nothing else to talk about 🤷♂

Seems like the last few iPhone are all very similar. For me it's all about the trade in value of my phone. We all know if you don't trade in regularly, you're just not going to get much for your old device. We all upgrade eventually so I'll be trading in my 13 Pro Max.
Great Video thanks!! Yes for me it is a no brainer I ordered the 15 Pro since i am still on 12 Pro this has many new upgrades the reason I didn’t get 14 Pro was i hoped the 15 Pro would introduce USB-C. So for me the Pro is perfect i do not need the extra zoom and the size of Pro is perfect for me. Look forward to other videos!

I'm still rocking the iPhone XR and I've not had any issues with it since buying it, but maybe it's finally time for an upgrade. The cameras on the newer models will blow my single lens setup out of the water. Having said that, I own a 'proper' camera anyway so i'm not sure if £1,000 is really worth spending if I don't encounter any issues with my trusty XR.
