Great video. I've just upgraded from a standard iphone 11 to the 15 pro max and I can honestly say its a completely different beast. Loving the reduced weight, screen size, USB-C port and video quality and zoom functionality. I use my iphone to shoot shorts and full length videos for my channel and it will be an absolute power house, as long as it doesnt over heat. So far so good.

For the action button, you can make it dynamic by using shortcuts. In my case, I have it set to launch the camera normally, but it will toggle the flashlight in sleep mode and open Gmail in work mode instead.

I have the 15 Pro Max and use the action button for the camera. I think it’s one of those features that I like but could definitely live without. I upgraded from the XS so it was a giant leap in specs overall.

I've had the 15PM for over a month a month and find the action button very useful for taking pictures, especially after getting used tot he double press on Pixel. One annoying thing about the 15PM is that the camera does not works after launching several times... its just a black screen. Have to relaunched for it to work.

Upgrade from 12pro to 15pM month ago. Not crazy about the larger size but it was worth the longer zoom- esp for my kids’ school events. It also feels nice and light. Extra battery life also great for my work trips. Screen gets amazingly bright in full daylight. Other upgrades are nice small things.

Got mine 10 days after launch so now well in to daily life with it. Had a 12 Pro Max before and the 15 Pro Max is an upgrade in every way. New more powerful chip, superior battery life, slimmer bezels, dynamic island, 120Hz refresh rate, better cameras, USB-C, Titanium rails, the list goes on. I use the action button as a mute switch as I liked that feature on previous iPhones. Very happy with my purchase and will probably hold on to it for 2 or 3 years before upgrading again.

Great Video!!!! You’ve answered a lot of questions for me I currently have the iPhone 12 and was in need of a second phone so this is great! I would like to kindly ask for a video on smartwatches and which ones doesn’t have radiation emitted from the device

It’s my first Pro Max and I can’t believe I’ve never gone for the big iPhone before. I much prefer the size because my fingers don’t seem as in the way.

The big things for me in regards to the 15 models this year is USB type C and the camera. First thing first, the camera. 12 MP to 24MP is difference maker for me. I use the camera on my phone everyday, this is because I take a lot of pictures of my kids. The Camera on the 15 pro is by far the best camera I have ever owned. The Camera of the 15 pro mixed with Lightroom makes the 15 pro camera fun, convenient, and easy to use. Although the USB type C is a change, may not be the fastest speeds but for the simple convenience of needing just one choard for all my EDC tech is awesome.

I love the Action button! I have used to to create a shortcut so now when I hold it down it shows a list of actions I used on a daily basis so it makes it quicker todo things like: Open App, Change focus, take a screenshot, Mute toggle

Loved you're honest review and i actually learned something aswell like thé Portrait mode van make really great pictures aswell , thank you for that ! 😁

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and have considered this one for an upgrade, but there simply aren’t enough compelling reasons for me to do so. I am OK to wait one more year. Speaks to how good I think the 12 Pro Max already is!

Action button -> Blackmagic Camera app for videos since there’s already a screen shortcut for the regular camera app, which I use for photos. The former also lets you film in LOG but in H.265, saving space, and you can bake in the LUT if you don’t want to do heavy color grading.

Another great video Tom, helped me decide to upgrade from 12 Pro. I noticed you are using Chrome, Gmail, Google calendar so obviously in Google eco system. Do you prefer Google for a reason? I’m using Apple HomePod, maps, Apple mail, podcasts etc but have to admit Siri annoying me a lot with the ‘sending results to your phone’ rather than answer the question. Google podcasts being canned, with other Google apps so curious on your thoughts?

I had iPhone 13PM and thought I would not bother. But one boring day I pressed the buy button and now a proud owner of iPhone 15PM. I am surprised, it feels faster and smoother than my 13PM, that I rarely thought was slow! The extra features are mostly value-added, Dynamic Island, 80% battery limit, magic button, 5X zoom, 8GB RAM (now 30+ apps stay in memory), etc. iPhones have always been expensive, so we can cross that off as a negative. It really is a great phone and my second phone (one work/one personal) the S23U compliments it nicely. Two fantastic day-to-day phones.

I was so torn between upgrading from my 13 pro max because it was a solid phone with amazing battery life and it still had 88% battery health, but I made the right decision in upgrading to 15 pro max, the weight of the phone for a max made a huge difference, it’s more comfortable to hold and feels less noticeable in your pocket, the phone feels small yet still keeping that enormous screen. The upgrade to Dynamic Island is a great improvement to usability with most apps although I think this can be improved over time, it does feel less protruding on the screen as well And the photos and videos look exceptionally improved with the new lenses and 5x zoom. I also traded my phone into Apple to bring the cost of the phone down as an added bonus.

Was looking to upgrade my 11Pro especially as it’s my only device that still uses Lightning but the various grumbles reviewers have had with this have made me decide to wait until next summer or whenever we get more idea of what the 16 Pro might bring. I have a feeling some of the good stuff we expected on the 15 Pro will turn up on the 16 Pro.

The worth depends on what you’re using it for I guess. For me personally I have the 15pro and Pro max. I could’ve waited another year to see if apple would do anything differently. The best for me is the change in weight/titanium. Other than this for me it’s still just another iPhone. Apples power is their marketing. They market the hell out their products using language and jargon, world pictures of cool earthly people smiling as if they were sick all their life but brought an iPhone and was miraculously healed bringing them untold joy. Apple hasn’t really done anything innovative with the iPhone, but I guess it depends on your use

I love my tech and this might sound ridiculous but I’m still on iPhone 11, was very tempted by the usb-c on this one but honestly spending all that money on upgrading doesn’t seem massively worth it right now. Especially since I paid to have Apple swap out the battery for a fresh one. There’s always that moment buying a new iPhone when excitement turns to slight disappointment when you get it out the box and it feels and looks the same, albeit a bit quicker.

Excellent video, I've just upgraded today from an 11 to 15 pro max, so I'm excited to see the difference and explore this latest model.

I got my iPhone 15 pro max two weeks ago, (upgrading from 13pro max). this phone feels surprisingly great, like that a bit of smaller body, a bit lighter, a bit brighter, definitely USB-C, so I'm really happy with my phone, but admittedly, it's not an easy sell when you try to explain it to other people! so I have to agree with you, would be a great upgrade for iPhone12 owners and before. but also if you have a lot of money to spend, and you want to upgrade from 13 or 14, I think you will also be happy with the purchase, even though it won't be easy to explain why you did it in the first place!

I have 2 specific focus modes "Work" and "Personal" that I usually toggle between. I have written a Shortcut script to toggle between these 2 and assigned Action button to that shortcut script. So I guess, anyone who has a multi-step process which can be scripted using "Shortcuts" this is a great feature to assign to the action button

Not an iphone user,though my Brother's got the 15 pro max,so I got to test it and it was verry good,especially on the camera,but there are some features I don't like about it(and I think it's about iphone in general),such as the keyboard(there's no numbers or clipboard above it,the keyboard is also smaller,so it's harder to type) and the screen,while it looks verry good,in many apps it has to crop the margins,which on a bevelled phone it seems to look a bit ugly and small sized

That's so true!! I had that on my iPhone 12 Pro and thought it was due to the lighting. Since I don't take many pictures, I couldn't really tell if that happened every single time, but it was pretty regularly. Insane that they still haven't addressed it.

Apple has it's lens flare issue, and Samsung has it's shutter speed issue. Two giants of tech who can't even get the basics right.

It is even worse on my Pixel. Hopefully they will improve the coating for next year.

Gerry and casetify on the same video didn’t age well 😂

I wondering, which app do you use for editing, can you tell me, please?

It's got a 5x 120mm telephoto with a 3D sensor stabalizer at ƒ/2.8 and satellite connectivity for emergencies or roadside assistance when outside cellular connectivity.

I got mine about one month ago, it has definitely been a decent upgrade over my Iphone 12. But I think I could have hold on to my 12 for one more year without issues.

Battery life has been great. I have loved my iPhone 15 pro max. But I feel like Apple has been very boring ever since the iPhone XR. They need more customization.

Apparently the next iOS upgrade is a complete revamp assuming there are no issues.

My 13 pro max after 21 mths come to 91%. So still worth to hold it. It mitigated planned obsolescence through control procedure

I couldn’t figure out what just ONE action I would assign to my action button, so I made it do a thing - my action button is assigned to a shortcut that brings up a list of helpful functions, like: turn on Focus, toggle ringer, toggle Wi-Fi, take a quick note, etc.

I upgraded from a 13 Pro to 15 Pro Max. I have been very impressed with it. Like you said in the video, it just feels buttery smooth 99.99% of the time. The camera is fantastic, the HDR alone is a huge upgrade because the 13 Pro often blew out the highlights if you had a dark foreground and bright background also the 24MP default images is a big upgrade in my opinion. You have to zoom to see it but when you do it's so much sharper than an equivalent 12MP photo. I also really like the 48MP HEIF photos which I have used to good effect a few times especially for my cat so I can capture every little bit of fur and the detail in her eyes and for landscapes where there is so much information in the scene and you want to capture as much as possible. The 80% charge limit is really handy, now I don't have to worry about overcharging my battery. It's dumb that this hasn't trickled down to the older phones though. The 5X zoom is a mixed bag for me. For video it's very impressive. The stabilisation is crazy good and if you put it on action mode then it's insane how stable it can make your footage even at 5x and while moving. I took a video of some cliffs in the distance out the window of a moving car and it looks like it was filmed on a gimbal. For photos with the 5X I have gotten some really nice ones and the zoom quality is pretty good comparing to old photos of the same scene that I have from the S22 Ultra and Mi 11 Ultra but I do think Apple needs to crank up the AI smoothing a bit. When you zoom past ~10x the images start to get a bit noisy. I know that AI smoothing can only do so much and the photos will start to look photoshopped like the ones on the S23 Ultra 10X camera, but I still think that it is a better trade-off to have an artificially smoothed photo rather than one that is noisy and kinda ugly looking. So yeah, I love and hate the 5X camera. It does some things really well, can take some amazing photos and videos but also misses the mark just as often as it hits it. AOD, USB-C, excellent speakers, lighter weight, Dynamic Island, action button (I just use it for the camera but I have played with various shortcuts), cellular signal has been much better on this compared to the 13 Pro, super bright screen even in direct sunlight, fantastic battery life. There is a LOT to like about this phone. It's not flashy stuff, it's polish. It's an incredibly polished phone that does everything so well. I'm very happy with it but I'm also aware that the price is getting a bit insane. I could buy an S23 Ultra on sale or a Xiaomi 14 Pro for a lot less but on the flip side, those phones will drop in value extremely quickly whereas the iPhone will only lose about 25% of it's value per year for the 1st two years so I will get a decent chunk of change back when I upgrade again in 2-3 years. I highly recommend it but until Apple does a software update for the 5X camera to improve the photos at higher zoom levels, I will say that it is the one sore spot I have with this phone. Other than that it is fantastic.

My 1st iPhone was a like new 12 pro max in ‘22 I got for free. I love it but it’s just too big/heavy for me. Bought a 15 pro and its perfect size. Still use the 12PM for KZread,Music,GPS

Thanks for the video. I have been using the button a lot because I am learning English and I use it to open the translator.

I got mine yesterday, and overall it’s good. It’s definitely horribly overpriced, but it is what it is. My issues are mostly with iOS. Why can’t I set an image as wallpaper from the files app

I have been using 15PM since 2 weeks, few times I feel warm after using like 10-15mins max, while take few pics , It feels warm and battery drops a few bars . While playing PUBG also I feel warm, please let me know if this behaviour is faced by others or my device is a faulty ones .

Upgraded from XS max to 15 PM. My new plan allows for anytime upgrades so if the 16 is a big jump in tech, I can trade in for the new model. The jump between what I had and what I have is massive so I am definitely not disappointed.

Hi so far I like the new phone. just upgraded from the 11 promax to the 15 Pro Max. Wow what a difference however I’m still struggling to learn everything about this phone because it was such a big upgrade that the phone is doing things that my 11 Pro Max could not do and I’m accidentally triggering certain things lol so I’ve been binge watching, a lot of iPhone 15 Pro Max videos to help me

@Thetechchap what about the heating issue ?

Why is no one talking about the fact that the camera app has no AI features like Google and Samsung since we all buy it for the cameras?!

Was it worth it?, HELL NO!!!

Preordered 1 for my wife cuz it comes with 3 year warranty here in Malaysia 1tb natural titanium bought together with silicon case, And applied tempered glass right out of the box Bought 33w GAN charger I myself uses s22 ultra Bought, yeah her iphone 12 pro max gold and the new natural titanium are beautifully made devices

Just purchased the 15 pro max coming from being a samsung user for over 10 years, most recently having the samsung galaxy s9+. So far, I love the upgrade but its a bit challenging for me to understand Apple's system since this is my fist ever iphone but I trust that I'll get comfortable in the future. no regrets so far.

I love your videos. You have very honest reviews. Please do something about switching from android phone to iPhone. I'd like to see every day use and comparison 😊. Thanks!

Great video. Im currently an andriod user. And i was thinking of going iphone just to try it out, but scared since all my work is done on my samsung galaxy s21 ultra. But theres 1 thing holding me back is the os. Its not open source. But its ok for now. I can still use my old samsung for my work and code in 120 hertz. I just wanna see why people like iphone so much. I am picking it up as a secondary this year.

iPhone 13 Pro Max here waiting until the iPhone 16 Pro Max for an upgrade. Thanks for the breakdown, good video.

I mostly use action button for camera and sometimes I change it to shorcut for tv remote

I skipped 14pro because it didn’t have a type c. Wanted a change from my note so only right to get the 15PM when they released with type c I used the action button for Google maps. Really handy Do you know if you can map it to double press? No just hold

Been enjoying mine for the last 2 months, my favorite thing about it has to be the speakers.

I use rhe action button for the flashlight it's super handy when you need it

I have that case on my natural titanium 15 pro max and it’s really cool 😊

Could you share details on the Samsung attachment that you have on the phone? Thanks!

Please any idea for camera settings setup for iPhone 15 pro max

Currently rocking an XS max, been more than five years. Just the battery has been an issue, but with fast charging I just charge it twice a day and it’s fine. Going to upgrade to 15 pro max 1tb.

At first I wasn’t really sure about the action button. Although It’s actually been handy to have the phone in my pocket or bag and just hold the button quickly and I know it’s on silent. Is it world changing? No. It comes in handy a few times tho
