Thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time! - Věda a technologie
Informative, straight to the point. Thank you!
It is actually the one hand phone vs. the both hands phone.
Basically
Pro Max better. You don't need iPad
Nope dude, for the second time, there is a camera difference too (this time it’s zoom range only, last time, for 12 pro and pro max, it was all over the camera setup )
Really that depends on your hand size. Pro Max ain’t too bad and my hands aren’t huge
I use the 14 plus in one hand
Most helpful video I’ve seen . Thank you
Hey Aaron! I’m just super grateful that you’re one of the only tech CZcamsrs that has been around for 10+ years AND still makes content every single day. I watch all your videos. Thanks for everything.
Thanks for a great video. Looking at the photos, I actually thought the Pro were sharper.
Helped me a lot
Hello Aaron, nice video. I’m sticking with my older phone. I have an iPhone 13.
Keep it up doing such great videos!!
This year I went with the Pro and 512GB. Coming from the mini it was a huge upgrade for many reasons. I really like the size, the weight and the dynamic island so much. I can still use 1 hand for most tasks. The battery life is impressive! With that mini I had to charge and re-charge my phone multiple times a day.The blue color is 🔥
It all depends on how you look at it.
Battery is impresive? For me it is average, they should make it last way longer for pro model..
@@dzejkob8 they are coming from a mini so its gonna seem good
TY, I am getting the 15 Pro.
Thanks for this review 👌🏻
You are amazing ❤thank you
Thank you for an informative video. I was actually torn on which model to get. I’m still using my 11 til now and any of these two looks like a great upgrade for me! ☺️
Same here! My eyes hurt using 11 display so I'm looking forward to upgrade asap :)
Can't wait for my 15 pro white to arrive!!
As always, great and fun content from Aaron
Great video
Aaron. Will you be putting up a comparison video of iPhone 15 and 15 plus? I really hope you do. Love your content.
I think the pro max has a natural draw due to the large screen and battery life, but for me not very practical day to day, and you notice this more as time goes on. I personally prefer being able to use the phone one handed and value something not bulging out of my trousers every time I walk out the door.
The pro is the way to go!
Trousers lol
Something “bulging out your trousers!!” 😮
I just got the iPhone 15 pro max and I love it! I love the changes that were made to the part where the ffc is and the quality is much better than the 13 pro max.
Thank you for this nice little comparison!
I got my pre-ordered iPhone 15 Pro Max in black titanium and 256gb of storage last friday. Before I had the 13 Pro (non-Max).
Greetings from Switzerland in Central Europe!
All of Aaron’s points here are spot on.
FWIW I went with the Max this year after several years on the smaller variant. Ultimately wanted more screen and battery for content consumption, following poor 14 Pro battery performance experience. Also the new camera feature(s) tipped it over the edge for me. Went with natural Ti inside a Pitaka case (for minimal added bulk). My wife got the blue Ti. Both look fantastic.

@@ileref 😅
How are you liking the switch Andrew? In the same position as you considering 15 pro max
I went with the regular size 256 Space Grey 15 Pro. For long work days a battery bank is sufficient. In the trades I prefer the smaller form factor.
Since I'm trying to reduce the amount of time I spend on the phone, the Pro is an obvious option for me. The size and usability are bonuses. Also the 3x lens is much more useful for people photos. Based on my time of shooting professionally, something closer to 85mm equiv. is better for casual shots compared to something closer to 120mm which is quite a niche focal length.
Thanks for the video, Aaron. You mentioned a screen protector you liked. Which one was that? I didn't see it linked in your notes.
I just linked it in the description
I really love the bigger screen and battery, however I wish they keep the 3x zoom camera for the pro max instead of 5x. It doesn’t seem like a very useful length
Can you explain the differences on video for us please. What video settings are best ? I do get confused. Thanks
Very nice video
Thanks Aaron, great video my man
Has anyone gone from a 13 pro to a 15 pro - im interested in knowing if there is much of a battery change?! Thank you
Nice detailed video
Thanks! 👍
Thank you for doing this comparison because I had been asking what was the difference since so many people were waiting for the 15 Pro! But I 💙15 PM💙 (512) but I am holding on to my 💚13PM💚! I need to check out your video on pro-resolution... I'm not very good with the camera use. I'm pretty much point and shoot camera 📷 person!
Thank you 👑
Hi Aaron. Thanks for the informative comparison of the two phones.
I’m considering upgrading to the 15 Pro Max from my 13 Pro. Hoping to get it in the natural titanium finish
think i will too, coming from the base 13 tho
I went with the 15 pro 512K, blue titanium.... Very happy with the look, and it feels like it runs a little hotter than the 13 pro I had. thank for all the info you put out.
What do you mean runs a little hotter then the 13 pro I have the 13 pro and want to upgrade to the 15😊
15 Pro max black T , absolutely love it.
If u could please do a comparison between the 15 and 15 pro, that would be great! I’m trying to decide between the two! I love the pink on the 15 and don’t need a pro for the camera or anything, but I wanted the always on display and thought the action button would be cool, but would love ur opinion and a comparison. Thanks!
I find the 3x lens more versatile cos of its 77mm focal length… 5x zoom is too close for portrait shots.. need to really move back from your subject which may proof difficult for street photography when it’s crowded
I decided to try out the pro max this year. I’ve had the smaller pro for 11 pro, 12 mini, 13 pro, 14 pro, now 15PM. Loving the extra battery. I can’t one hand certain things but that’s ok. We’ll see what happens next year. Right now I’m enjoying the device!
What about now? What do you think about the bigger phone?
@@keuam7200lol
You will probably return to smaller size. I had a small phone, then got a huge phone for the big display, then got the 15 Pro and my god typing with one hand again feels so good. Fuck big phones.
@@KrypteiaXineeding a big phone is like some Gen alpha stuff like a toddler with a tablet
I’m still rocking my Xr 💪
Am thinking about upgrading in the next month or two though ☝️
could you do a comparison between the iPhone 14 plus and 15 pro max.
thank you for the time, effort and energy that you put into making this.
I wish they had 1 3 & 5 telephoto zoom on the 15 pro max as I feel that 2x is useless for what I use it for
Hi, I am getting the 15 pro Max in blue for my birthday this Month, I have always had the smaller screen size, this will be the first time having a larger handset so hope I'm not disappointed
thanks for the great video as always
hy update?
Hey hi how feel with the new one now?
Even am planning buy same one as u told “blue pro max” soon,, and av always preferred smaller screen size but am planning for a change…
I went from a 14 pro to the 15 pro max natural titanium. First time with the PM model and I actually prefer it
I’m upgrading to 15 pro max from 12 pro can’t wait a little late but still excited
All are so good
I received the pro max two weeks now and I don’t see much difference then my 13 pro max that I trade in just the weight, and I never use my phones without a case so very little difference,I upgraded every 2 years .
I've never owned an iPhone but I'm considering buying the IPhone 15 pro for myself but I'm totally torn between the Pro and the Pro Max...I'm going to wait until September and get the 16
Already got my Natural Grey 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max and absolutely love it. Coming from a Gold 1TB 13 Pro.
I have both pro models, I initially got the 15 pro back in October for the size but over the past few months I’ve felt myself regretting the 15 pro so I ended up getting the 15 pro max yesterday
now update me i’m also about to get 15pm how’s the size nd how’ it feels in hands
I just upgraded from my iPhone 8+ to the iPhone 15P and I’m very impressed.
Regarding Prores recording: if that is something you plan on doing, it's worth mentioning that you can get an external drive or the CFExpress memory card, as you can record straight to these now and not worry about internal storage.
how can u do that?
You either hook up a tiny SSD or these newer faster kinds of memory cards called CFExpress. Hopefully there will be a phone case for these solutions soon! If you meant the recording part, the built in camera app will detect the storage. Some third party apps should too. @@1209jayt
How
Where is your apple watch strap from?! I need it!
Have always had the Pro size but for the 15 iphone I went Pro Max and am kicking myself for not going with 6.7 a long time ago. It's almost unnoticeable with large hands and I never text one handed and the camera feature won me over.........
1st, keep up the great work
I just upgraded from the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the iPhone 15 Pro. I used to have an iPhone 12 before it broke and eventually ended up with a Pro Max because that’s all that was in stock at the moment. I thought I would like the new features size and battery life, and all that but the truth is I actually missed the size of my iPhone 12 when I got the 12 Pro Max, it may sound silly but single hand use is a big deal imo so im happy with my decision on the pro over the max it’s great to be able to use my phone without dropping it all the time trying to reach the stinking control panel
I would definately go for the max just for that extra 1°F everywhere i went compared to the smaller pro!
Hi, I want to buy iphone 15 pro max but unable to decide coz of heating issues people are showcasing on their device can u please suggest me whether I should buy it or instead go with 14 pro max.....Thank You!!
I'm a dude with massive mitts, but I went with the 15 Pro. There's something extra premium about all that tech contained within a compact device. Also, I don't feel that iOS takes full advantage of the extra screen real-estate. No split-screen multitasking, no floating windows.
Gonna buy 15 pm tomorrow. Hopefully they'll add the multitasking feature soon.
@@DviewTech update?
@@M0ozart bought the 15 pm. No multi tasking yet. Device is smooth so it not much problem with navigate thru apps quickly. Must need split screen and multi tasking feature soon.
Split screen is why I want a Samsung 😅,but I want an iPhone too😅
@@neoloanderson6676 hopefully they will give this feature in future updates. I miss that feature soo much.
I enjoy using the standard pro these last few generations, I stand firm on Apple still needing help in the software department on the bigger iPhones.
I got the 15 Pro 1TB in Natural Titanium. I love it coming from my 13 Pro 512GB in Sierra Blue. It’s the perfect size for me.
I'm curious if the iPhone 15 series support OTG?
I have a 13 mini ( for travel and foreign SIM cards ) and a 14 pro ( for everyday). Both have 512 Go. No need to update for at least 2 years
Which one is better phone
It really just comes down to size because the camera differences even out when all is said and done. You’ll get better pics in the 3x range with the smaller Pro and better pics in the 5x range with the Max. I ended up going with the smaller Pro because size and weight were really important to me and because I mainly shoot pics in the 1x-3x range. The fact the smaller Pro is the same everywhere else and still manages to have all day battery is just a plus.
Yup! I have both and I agree. I prefer the Pro.
After 2 years of 13 pro max I’m going to go with the 15 pro. I saw it on best buy and I knew I have to get it once the smooth rounded edges felt so good to hold in my hand and the camera isn’t much of a difference for an average person.
Ew, battery sucks though, it’s even smaller than the regular 15 and you have more hardware that drains energy, the more it ages you will struggle to keep it up, speaking from experience. Unless you have a strong use for that 3x camera, the PM is the superior phone in any way.
Pro is for regular size guys... pro max is for fat guy~ ^^ 👌🏻
Wait so according to the camera section of the video, am I understanding this correctly?
- the 3x on the pro would produce better image because it uses the 3x telephoto lens but for pro max, it would use main lens and it will zoom normally BECAUSE, the telephoto lens on the pro max only works when it’s on 5x?
So the bottom line would be, if I were to be a person who loves the 3x zoom photography rather than 5x, it’s actually better for me to opt for the pro?
iPhone X, waiting to see what the iPhone 16 Pro Max offers. I have one more year of security updates for iOS 16 too.
I’m still using the 13 Pro Max at the moment. Might upgrade to the 16 Pro Max when it comes out just for the cameras and the battery.
Great vid Aaron! I went with the 15 Pro Max after 2 years on the regular 13 Pro -- I haven't owned a plus-sized iPhone since the 6 Plus, but after hearing that this year's models were lighter, that sent me in the direction of the Max. Thankfully it isn't a brick like the 14 Pro Max like I feared; it's very easy to use for a "big" phone. Very happy with the ergonomics as well as the battery life -- initially it was poor and overheated randomly often but after the 17.0.3 update, it's now functioning as expected. I also decided to rock it caseless this year
Thanks for sharing this! I’m thinking of upgrading to the 15 pro max from the 13 pro so this is really helpful to hear. How do you find carrying it around day to day like do you find it too bulky?
I currently have the 13 pro and I'm thinking about getting the 15 pro max 256gb..
@@greggedman4282There was definitely an adjustment period because of the size difference but now it really feels just right. Note that my hands have definitely gotten bigger since I got my 13 Pro so mileage may vary lol. It’s surprisingly lighter than I thought and in most instances I can use it one-handed. I do find that it’s a noticeable weight in my pockets but eh, all things are so that’s no big deal for me. My advice to you would be to hit up your nearest Apple Store and see how it feels in the hand
@@theslacker29ify I recommend! Bigger screen and better battery were the things that appealed to me in the 2 years since I got my 13 Pro, since I found that, more and more often, I’d have to charge up halfway through the day in order to make it to the end without a dead phone
@@anakinfan8 thanks for sharing your experience about the phone.. When I upgrade, I'm going for the 15 pro max!
As a twitch streamer witch one would you recommend
i dropped down a size this time around from the 13 pro max to the 15 pro. prefer the smaller size, one handed use and better ‘pocket-ability’. Battery life not a big concern for me as i’m usually near a charger and carry a magsafe battery pack in my bag.
Still happy with pro or would go with max?
yes. very happy with the Pro.
I did the exact same thing as you, going from the 13 pro max to the 15 pro. I’m really liking the size in hand for everyday use. Also recently picked up the new 11 inch iPad Pro if I ever need a bigger screen.
I’ll keep my 13 Pro awhile longer. E sim is a deal breaker for me as I sometimes switch phones.
How do I navigate to the case etc recommendations?
I personally believe that the 128 storage is gonna slowly phased out where eventually the 256 storage will be the new base model
Well obviously
The screen resolution is not the same as you stated at 3:26. The pixel density is the same, though, at about 460ppi for both devices. This means the 15 Pro Max has an higher overall resolution.
I purchased the black titanium iPhone 15 Pro 256GB cash from Apple and I’m definitely enjoying the only dislike I have is the “battery drain” isn’t fairly the best with all the settings tweaked out to save the most battery I can.
I too chose the Black titanium! Didn’t find the Natural titanium very attractive. The blue on 13 Pros and Purple on 14 Pros were really amazing colors, but the time there’s no such color.
I’m getting the I phone 15 in black 🖤💪🏾
I love the blue titanium
I’m upgrading from a 12pro to the 15pro Max. My 12 is still fantastic but I generally upgrade every couple of years. This is my first time going to the larger size phone as I’m always hesitant because I often like to use only one hand. Hopefully I can get used to the larger size and not regret it.
Should i get the 15 pro or the pro max worth it??
same !
do you have any update? how using 15 pro max?
@@roxyplz absolutely loving my iPhone 15 Pro Max!
thank you i was confused now i bought both 😂
I plan on upgrading from the 12 to the 15, I’m not hype on the pro models I just want the latest phone with a new battery 🔋 and Dynamic Island
Thinking to stick with my iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB. I expected so much more development on 15 Pro Max especially for camera technology
Is the 15 Pro zoom camera lens different from the iPhone 13 Pro zoom camera lens? 🏴
I upgraded from an 11 Pro to a 15 Pro Max and I have mixed feelings about it.
While I love the bigger screen to watch videos on and the battery life, I struggle when I try to use it one handed. It definitely feels more like a chore when I have to do hand gymnastics or just free up my other hand to use it two handed.
Maybe I’ll upgrade to a 17 Pro next time. I’ve still got about a year and a half to decide haha!
Sticking with my 12 Pro Max a little while longer. Probably shoot for getting a 16 Pro Max (or equivalent) next Fall, unless I have a better reason (personally) to get the 15 Pro Max sooner. But not in a rush right now.
I do like (and appreciate) the “enhancements” in the 15 Pro design and USB-C, but I could easily wait until next year to make the switch, all the while getting the most out of my current 12 Pro Max, which was already paid for on day one & I paid a lot for, obviously, before moving on to another iPhone.
I feel the 12 PM still has a lot of life left to live, lol, especially given how I’m currently using it, and the only limitation could be the battery, which is still hanging on pretty decently, considering the phone is 3 years old and the battery health is still at 85% as I write this.
And I could always get a new battery, if necessary, if I start having troubling battery life and/or performance issues.
But I’m thinking that it’ll probably be ok until next Fall when I most likely will finally upgrade again! 😊
3x and 5x telephoto comparison is good, but why compare 15x vs 25x? Can you just help compare 10x vs 10x and 15x vs 15x? most of people won't use 25x but 10x or 15x on pro max is definitely useful... thanks
Where’s the screen protector details?
I actually think this year Apple have given the non-pros the biggest YoY upgrade, and if you like best battery life in an iPhone, go for the 15 Plus. That matte black looks beautiful.
The only gripe is 60hz refresh rate but with iOS it’s not a big issue plus helps preserve battery (I keep it turned off on my 13 Pro anyway).
I agree but 60 hz is a joke to me. So for me its Like the normal 15s doesnt exist.
yeah, the black on normal 15 series is really good
As I understand it the Pro Res can also scale back to 1fps for stills. Like reading a webpage, reducing battery drain.
@@Kudammxknesebeckit’s 120hz
60hz is alright if you've never used a device with a high refresh rate, but it's almost unusable if you're coming from something like a 14 Pro. Apple does this intentionally to prevent Pro series users from moving to a standard model.
Should i buy 14 pro max or 15 pro,
And i am okay with the screen size and the battery
I been using the regular galaxy s23. Is the perfect size, easy and quick to use with one handed. This is why I am now buying the iphone 15 pro.
I’ll stick to my normal 13 until the 16 when I am planning for a pro!
Thank you Aaron!
Do you want 6.1 or 6.7
Do you want regular or large
Do you want one hand use or two simple.
Went with a 1TB Pro Max in black. Upgraded from an 11Pro Max. Was considering a Pro in Natural titanium color but I've been doing black phones every time in the max size. No complaints. I'm planning on doing lots of videos so I went max storage. I think this is my sixth iphone now over the years.
I would’ve loved to get the 15 pro but no periscope. I want a smaller phone but had to go for the 15 pro max. Maybe next year they’ll have the same camera system with the 16 pros
Thank you so very much for your content I really appreciate it I went with the iPhone 15 pro 128 I wanted the iPhone 15 pro max but I couldn’t afford it right now n I wanted an Apple Watch but I think I wait on that too bc I may have to move from where I live rn bc mom passed away n I can’t keep my place since she’s gone now 😢❤😊
Love the 15 pro. Using it now. Great in the hand and camera
Which color did you choose?
black is best
Great vids as usual. Have you swapped your blue Pro Max for the Natural finish?
No, I prefer the blue finish
I went for the 15 Pro Max mainly for the camera and battery life. I usually just get the Pro model.
Same here. Adjusting to the size still but the weight helps a lot.
Was on the fence. Went with a 15 Pro with 256Gb and am glad I did. The 5x zoom of the Pro Max is of very little interest to me, the screen is plenty big enough on the Pro and the smaller, lighter form factor is really useable. I feel like I made the right choice.
Can you go through a full day without recharging? I ordered the same phone
@@ActuallyAwesomeName Depends how much I use it, but yes. My phone is saying about 3 hours / day screen time and it's lasting almost 3 days. I only did that once though (had the phone nearly 2 weeks). Most of the time I put it on charge at night just because and it still has 50-60% on it. I'm not a very heavy user though and I don't game on it much at all, mostly streaming music and I do have a mag charger in the car. But I've been very happy with the battery life, plenty for my usage. It varies. I had full charge yesterday but didn't use the phone much at all, didnt charge overnight and lunchtime today, I noticed it still had 84% on it.
Max is better. Battery life has better
@@simonasisi9209not eveyone wants a 6.7 inch screen
@@simonasisi9209good thing most people don’t spend the whole day on their phones, so no need for a bigger battery.
Non of the above for me since they removed the SIM card tray, decided to change to the S23+
Please make a video on Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2
I probably won’t. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of interest in it.
I had a 12 that I still have on the side for a backup but may trade in for the new iPhone, I switched to the samsung a54 to try it out and its been okay but im not sure if I am going back to apple just yet though. I may eventually go for either the 15 pro or pro max.
I had the iPhone 15 pro for a day as I thought I’d change to the smaller screen but the battery life was no good as a power user.
I managed to change it in the Apple Store for the 15 Pro max and glad I did.
If the battery life on the pro was 8-9 hours of use ,I would go back to the smaller device
Storage is a non-issue if you can record video directly to an external SSD.
I always go for the smaller pros, guys put their phones in their pockets and I didn’t want a big brick 😂
