    Just upgraded to the 12 pro pacific blue from the Se 3. Traded it straight up with someone who missed having a home button. Only downside is the battery health is 82%, while my old SE 3 was still at 94%. I can go into the local Apple store and get a new battery in the future though, so no biggy. My first pro Iphone and I see myself keeping it for the next few years.

    I upgraded from the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the iPhone 15 Pro Max primarily because I accidentally damaged one of the camera lenses, and my network provider offered me a great deal on the upgrade, which made economic sense. However, in terms of everyday use, I haven't noticed any significant differences. While the iPhone 15 Pro is indeed smoother, this improvement is not easily noticeable unless you're comparing the two devices side by side. As for the 120 Hz refresh rate, it seems to be a bit overhyped, especially by KZreadrs. In regular use, it's not something that most people will notice, unless they're actively comparing devices. In reality, very few of us do that in our day-to-day activities. In my opinion, most of the newer smartphones are fast enough for 99.9% of users. If your older phone is still meeting your needs and performing well, there's no rush to upgrade. Only consider an upgrade if it's absolutely necessary.

    I actually just came from a 12 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max and I think it’s worth the upgrade. I only upgrade every 2-3 years and happy I decided to get this one. It’s going to be different for everyone but the standout points for me are the Battery, Display, Camera and the ability to play upcoming games for it when I’m at work. In regular use such as scrolling social media or searching the web, I personally can’t see much difference but it feels like a nice upgrade for me.

    Me and my wife both came from the iPhone 13 Pro Max phones to the iPhone 15 Pro Max phones and we are extremely happy with the choice. We had those phones for 2 years and we are not the every year upgraders. This was an easy choice for us to make. We are not worried about the durability on the phones. We both use a case and screen protector on both phones and we do not drop or mishandle the phones. When we trade in our old devices, the person at the store always says "WOW, these are still new phones" and we just say we take care of our phones and smile and wait for the new ones to be ready for use.

I could feel the weight difference. The difference in the rounded edges wasnt really a difference for me, because I always use a case.

  • @Juraiprince
    @Juraiprince8 ай бұрын

    Great video as always, Aaron. One thing to consider also (especially if you are considering going from the 14 series to the 15series: If you bought a 14 Pro Max on sale from the carrier when they were offering $1K off the retail price in the form of monthly rebates, in order to take full advantage of that sale, you would HAVE to keep your 14 Pro Max for the entire time, which would amount to three years. If you upgrade early, you would either have to trade the phone in or pay it off entirely. If you paid the balance off entirely, you lose the monthly rebates of course, meaning that you would be responsible for the remaining cost sans rebates. I purchased my 1TB 14 Pro Max with the $1K rebate which would bring the entire cost of the phone to only $600, but the caveat being I have to keep it for the full term which is three years in my case. To me, it's worth it, and a great deal. I used to be one of those who would upgrade yearly, but it's not so important to me as much, since these phones last a long time, and I have a $1600 phone that I only will have paid $600 for in the end. Like I said earlier, just another angle to consider depending on what type of user you are. Cheers!

However, battery life and percentage used through the day was high and I finished most days around the 20% remaining level and I used an Apple MagSafe battery pack if I was out all day and using my phone for photos and videos. Since replacing the battery, and the release of iOS 17, my phone “feels” a little quicker and consistently ends the day with at least 60-70% remaining. Replacing the battery has bought me at least another year from my 12PM. Hope this helps.

You are always devoted and really go into the details power users are totally into, and I thank you for that. Keep up the great work!! ❤❤

    Aaron, I’ve been waiting on this video! So glad you made this one! Currently running a 12 PM. Battery is at 85% and my true depth sensor is dead, so no Face ID or portrait mode. Other than that phone is in excellent condition. I’m going to keep using this until it goes for now, until I see a reason that I truly need to upgrade. Thanks again for your insight and amazing content! ✌🏾

    I upgraded from the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the iPhone 15 Pro Max primarily because I accidentally damaged one of the camera lenses, and my network provider offered me a great deal on the upgrade, which made economic sense. However, in terms of everyday use, I haven't noticed any significant differences. While the iPhone 15 Pro is indeed smoother, this improvement is not easily noticeable unless you're comparing the two devices side by side. As for the 120 Hz refresh rate, it seems to be a bit overhyped, especially by KZreadrs. In regular use, it's not something that most people will notice, unless they're actively comparing devices. In reality, very few of us do that in our day-to-day activities. In my opinion, most of the newer smartphones are fast enough for 99.9% of users. If your older phone is still meeting your needs and performing well, there's no rush to upgrade. Only consider an upgrade if it's absolutely necessary.

    Coming from a 12 Pro Max to a 15 Pro Max my experience with battery life is quite different. So far stand-by times seem to be about equal. But for some reason (settings, apps and usage are basically the same) my new 15 Pro Max drains signifcantly faster than my 12 when it was new. I would compare it to my 12 when it was maybe 1,5 - 2 years old. Two days on my 15 is not possible even with a new battery. So far I have no definite conclusion on why that is. Maybe the Always-On in part, maybe 120Hz, maybe iOS 17.1? Today I can easily live with it, but 2 years down the line? One day could get to be a stretch... So far the only let-down by an otherwise great update. Maybe iOS 17.2 etc. will give some improvement?!

    There is a new bug. On iOS 17.1 could you see if it still exists with iOS 17.2? If you s swiping all the way to the right to App Library, press search, tap something on the keyboard and then you hold down the space bar and while you hold it, you s swiping from right to left to go out, then the phone freezes

    After many happy years with the 12 Pro Max, I upgraded about a week ago to the 15 Pro Max, and I'm blown away! The screen is so much easier to see in bright sunlight, and the cameras are hands down, the best I've ever seen on a phone! I used my 12 for vlogging, and while pleased with it, it left me wanting something more. Well, the 15 gives more, and then some! I don't upgrade often, in fact, the phone before the 12 Pro Max, was the 8 Plus, LOL!

    I already have a 12 Pro Max. I do a lot of photography so am considering an upgrade. The big question is that now the 15 Pro Max has been with us for some time is it best to go for this model or wait just a bit longer for a 16? I know, there is always something better on the horizon, however, the next iPhoen i buy will have to do me for teh next 3 to 4 years so do I hold on that little bit longer???

I have been using my iPhone 12 pro max since the day it came out in 2020 and still using it up-to-date as my main phone. Right now my battery is at 78% health. Im still confused how you maintained it on 93% from 2020 till now ? Aaron could you tell what you did that maintained the battery health ?

    Obviously less use and you need a new battery 🔋 if your phone is at 78% I’ve had 2 new battery’s in since I bought my 12 pro max new in sept 2020 just bought my latest in may 2024 it was on 80% I’m getting a full 6 hours extra now at 100% on full (btw I hammer 🔨 my phone 📱 minimum 10 hours solid a day with 60,000 screen shots a year and 150,000 photos) Use than I was getting at 80% so would highly recommend spending the £89:99 for a new battery 🪫 fitted at apple 🍎 😊

    The main problem which we are not accepting is the software which is intentionally not optimised or made to affect the battery life for the older models. This is how Apple is forcing people to upgrade on new iPhones. I can prove it easily as I am currently using 14 Pro Max with 88% battery health on iOS 16.7.2 and it is still giving me 8-9 hrs SOT as day 1. When I had the iPhone 12 before, I was getting 6-7 hrs SOT with 93% battery health till iOS 15.7 or 16 came out and when I just updated to 15.7 thinking 16 might not be stable enough? It actually made it worse decreasing my SOT to just 3 hours. Isn't that strange? Both 15.7 and 16 were made to affect its battery life on purpose. I thought maybe it needs some days to do the processing as how the other KZreadr says but it never improved and I ended up getting the 14 Pro Max. Also, I was using the 5W charger and never got an overheating warning. Thoughts?

    I think I’m going to jump from the 12 pro max to the normal 15 pro. I don’t really like the pro max size. I only got it for the battery life but considering how the normal 15 pro has about the same battery life as the 12 pro max when it first came out, I’ll be fine. My Apple Watch Ultra is the main device I use throughout the day anyhow. My phone will last me 2 days easy because I just barely use it

    The 15 Pro Max is about a month or so old? Apple's hardware QC has surely taken two steps back this year. The screen is definitely concerning but it doesn't matter because most people tend to use a tempered glass screen protector anyway. What I can't believe is that there's already so many chips on the 15 Pro Max... Aside from the two mentioned by Mr. Zollo, I noticed quite a few more. At 1:19, there's a chip/discoloration on the bottom lens, at 2:05, there's a chip above the action button on the edge. Even if one uses a case, dust will almost certainly get in and scratch, or rather chip the frame. This phone will age like milk left out in the sun. As someone who has OCD with regard to such things, this phone is a big NO from my side, considering I tend to keep my iPhones 3-4 years; not to mention the resale/exchange of this phone down the year would go down with such defects coming into play over time. P.S It's also hilarious that the 15 Pro Max lost to a 3 year old iPhone in video rendering, lol.

    I switched from the iPhone 12 PM last week & it’s a nice upgrade. I’ve been using my iPhone 15 Pro Max at full charge for the past hour & it’s still showing 100% battery power. Up until the iPhone 11, I always needed a battery glove while not near a charger for the day but starting with the 12 Pro Max, that was no longer necessary. Battery power is a game changer. I also recommend a clear plastic glove (I never use a screen protector) for any phone for durability. I dropped my iPhone several times over the years & have never had a scuff.
