Dumb decission

Short version: it's an incremental upgrade, and just that. As someone who came from non-pro iPhone 11 to iPhone 15 Pro Max I obviously felt a huge upgrade. If you're coming from anything more recent than a 12 Pro you won't really feel it that much to justify the price.

I’m using a 12pm myself and after watching many reviews I’ve decided it’s worth the upgrade for me. End of the day, it depends on whether do YOU think it’s worth the upgrade or not cause it depends on how you use it in your daily life. In my nature of business / workplace I’m required to used my phone a lot so it’s DEFINITELY worth the upgrade for me. Hope my opinion helps you understand and if not than I’m sorry.

I also upgraded from the 13 Pro Max (gr8 phone) to the 15 Pro Max in natural titanium (with a RhinoShield case). One new upgrade you forgot to mention is a rarely used safety feature. It has the Satellite SOS & Roadside Assistance connectivity when out of cellular range. It even ties in with the crash detection capability. It's a great new phone, a bit steep on price. But the 13 Pro Max is still a beast.

I purchased the base iPhone 15 for the exact reasons you spoke about. I am very value-oriented. I don't want to pay for unnecessary features that I seldom, if ever, use. I just want a point-and-shoot camera. I have no need for USB 3.2. I have no need for 120Hz refresh. I have no need for the Action button. The base iPhone 15 satisfies 99% of my needs. And the money I saved went to a nice case, a nice screen protector, and a nice set of Bluetooth earbuds, with plenty of money left over. Haven't looked back at all.

I just ordered an iPhone 15 Pro Max because the iPhone I have now, the 10S Max is really starting to show some age. Bought my iPhone 10S Max shortly after it first came out. I figured if I want my phone to last a long time again better to get the highest end and most future proof model so I went with the 15 Pro max over the 15 plus. I know the battery life sure is going to be a big upgrade for me since my 10S Max is still using its original battery and I have been charging that phone 3 times a day on average now since I was too cheap to get another battery put in the phone. 😆

I just got the 15 Pro Max. I really like it. I got 700 dollars for my old phone, so that helped with the price

Dude, your sponsored iPhone case is what I need.

future iOS updates and battery life above the 14 pro maximum is more than enough argument for those who want a phone that won't give them problems for the next 4 years. Nice video dude

I didn't need to upgrade. My company pays for my phone and any telecom expenses so I upgraded from 14 pro to 15 pro max. Love the camera upgrade but I'm not used to holding such large phone. Large screen does help though especially when you are outside and quickly need to glance at something, no more squinting of the eyes

Please make a video, regarding the camera of iPhone 15 pro / max 🙏🏻

What’s with the price? Are you in Canada or something?

I went from 12 pro max to 15 pro max I hate upgrading phones but honestly a huge difference and improvement thus far. I personally think it’s best not upgrading phones until a few gen’s go by just based on how much technology improves. It gets a bit numb trying to upgrade to a new device just because of lack of improvements they do.

The iPhone 14 Pro felt the same as my iPhone 12 mini just w/ 120 refresh rate and Dynamic Island

Flawless review. Looks like you made a sale. I don’t buy new phones every year. Went from 6 to 11 and now 15 PMax so the price is minimal for the use I’ll get out of it. Can’t wait for the 20 PMax with built in flying boots! lol Awesome review!

I lost convenience when Siri stopped working, then I was going to get it fixed, but then I was like changed my mind traded an iPhone 11 for a iPhone 15, when I got my iPhone 15 pro max, I put it in a case immediately so I didn’t notice no sharp edges or had time to notice it, and this iPhone matched my uniform, I’m happy with it, plus I’m not a tech expert so I wouldn’t have noticed the small stuff you do.

Thanks for the in depth review. I will now upgrade from my Sony Ericsson W595 to the iPhone 15 pro max

Hey Aaron this is a great review of the iPhone. You clearly have a sharp eye for the finer details. May I ask for your input on something? I do a lot of traveling and like to vlog about interesting things I see. I currently own an iPhone Pro 12 and a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I mainly vlog with my S23 Ultra because the stock Samsung camera app is very vlogger friendly and the video quality are visually pleasing. I've tried vlogging with my current iPhone and the previous iPhone I had but I often find the photo and video quality somewhat depressing. Half the time when I use my iPhone I look too warm, a tad yellow/orange, and washed out. This has frustrated me enough to stop using my iPhone to vlog because I don't like the idea of capturing fleeting moments on my travels only to find the footages disappointing. I have been wanting to upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro Max and use it to vlog but the concerns of the yellow/orange/washed out qualities are holding me back. All that said, do you have any suggestions on how to remedy those issues on iPhone photos and videos? I know the iPhone takes great photos and videos but I don't vlog from a studio with consistent controlled lighting, and those qualities issues I listed do come up here and there. My friend has a iPhone 15 Pro Max and I've tried using her phone to take sample photos and videos and I do see that the warm/yellowing/washed out issue is still there although not as pronounced. I've been told I could do post processing to fix those but I like to vlog on a phone and use powerdirector or kinemaster app to edit then post. If you have done a video on this issue I'd love to watch it, and if not I hope you will consider doing a video to help some of us out who want to start vlogging with an iPhone but are still holding back. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

The bit where you went over the camera system with complete honesty… THANK YOU! Like, I thought I was losing my mind when every big tech reviewer on KZread were saying how the 15 Pro’s cameras could stack up against a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Thank you for basically saying, “lol, no it can’t”, because it’s true! Are smartphone cameras getting better and better each year? Yes. Is it honestly pretty crazy that our iPhones can now shoot in LOG? Yes. But, that doesn’t in any way suddenly make them better than even a decent big camera and lens. Apple shot their last even on iPhone, cool. But they still needed professional equipment to help support the phone. LOG won’t suddenly make the tiny sensors be able to shoot big productions, and replace professional cameras. I have a 13 Pro Max, and while the cameras are good enough for social media sometimes, they can’t ever dream of replacing my main DSLR in more ways than just image quality. Thank you for being 100% honest man, it was refreshing lol.

This is I can relate to, I used to upgrade every new contract (2 years) however now since the 12 pro max I got, all newer phone feel underwhelming. I must stress the newer phone are upgrade nevertheless but to me they all feel minor Am waiting for when they change the body such as from the 11 pro to the 12 pro, that to me was a massive difference worthy of a upgrade

Excellent review. Well done, Sir.

I can’t find the cases that you showed. And I’d like the code for the discount. Thanks.

iPhone 15 Pro Max is great, but there's only one thing I hate: the selfie camera. The output is really different from the viewfinder. Once i click on that camera button and check my picture, it's sharp and grayish. At first I thought I was the only one but when I went to reddit a lot of people are complaining about this as well. Selfie on my 11 Pro Max is better. I don't know if you've encountered this issue but I'd like to know your thoughts about it. thanks.

Oddly, this made me want it even more (I currently have the 12)

The pro max weight drop helped a lot for my repetitive strain injured hand

The thing is after so long not using iphone, I finally tempted to buy the 15 series as the 2nd phone. But my deal breaker is the base model is still running in 60hz, like it would automatically feel slower than my Samsung. All the suggestion are just to take the pro series since USB C is kinda my requirement too. But damn that price is above the roof and I only get 256gb version when I wanted the next phone upgrade is to 512gb. Not to mention my love hate relationship with IOS is still here.

ProResHQ at 60fps is on my 14 pro max, and I think the 13 pro max as well. All three, the 13,14,15, requires at drive capable of 280mbs writing to shoot like the s9. But, anamorphic lenses are inexpensive on the formats available and perform exceptionally well for most venues. So, the ecosystem for the smaller sensor (13 & 14) is bigger. Moment lenses have a new t-series which covers the larger sensors on several different cameras including the 15. Why? A good rig for anamorphic lenses is thousands of bucks for a full frame. The Zeiss anamorphic lenses start at 6.5K I think. So cool to do super wide stories on my phone rig, which is gimbaled with the same gimbal as my mirrorless camera. The results rival my asp-c Sony rig.

Thank you for the honest review. The 15 Pro Max looks like the 12 Pro Max version 4. Same design and user interface. Hopefully Apple will release a phone as good as the S24U in September and it might be actually worth the up grade.

Well if you have the 13 pro max or 14 pro max it would be no sense really to have it upgrade on 15 pro max. But if you are from an 5-6 years old any phone it’s a huge huge upgrade.
