We can all agree that we like the hoodie, right? I like these one-on-one vids from Jon and FPT. 11-minutes in and feels like sitting down with a bud for a coffee and chat.
I usually watch Jon in the morning on my toilet seat but could not hold myself on this one.
I'm pretty sure that's the splice logo on his hoodie... If it's not... Then it's almost identical lol
@@UONeal it looks cool!
Dude I’m pretty sure that’s a Superdry hoodie.
Looks like screengems
“All you need to know is I’m a person and….”
Jon’s unlocked the secret to really great, meaningful reviews. 👏🏼
Awesome work Jon you really hit the nail on the head. I work for a major UK mobile network and the review you gave is how 95% of people actually considering buying this phone actually care about. No unnecessary tech jargon, just honest opinions and even your own annoyances with random software stuff. Look forward to the next video like this 💪
Exactly what I wanted to say.. This is the way to do review of a product.
Make more video like it🎉
This is NOT a comment about how I really enjoy these NOT reviews!
Me too (not).
You are NOT wrong though.
This is NOT a reply to the NOT a comment about how you really enjoy these NOT reviews!
This is not a comment of me commenting on your not comment of this none review expressing how this iPhone 15 pro Max is an amazing upgrade from the 14 pro max … just saying or not saying 😂
@@gwj7747 I don’t know what NOT to believe now. ✌🏾 😝😂😂😂
This was your best work my brother, you spoke as you said like a regular user not a damn tech reviewer giving their opinion on how the use their phone vs regular people. Love this
As much as I enjoy Jern and the fpt antics on any given episode, I also enjoy Jon telling us what he really thinks and making great points. Especially calling out the nonsense which came from overheating. Appreciate the video as always, and now I’m actually considering the pro over the 15. 🤷
Let's say if even 5% of a product is over heating, that's not nonsense
@@SirSam21 It's a software issue, mostly in third party apps, and it's been fixed - did you even watch the video?
@@thebuddercweeperIt was a big deal though, that’s the point. Even if it was just software.
@@ExtraordinaryFate Except I perosnly bereave the whole thing was fake and no ones phones were over heating
@@ExtraordinaryFate What's a big deal? A few people's phones were getting a bit warmer than normal for a week or so.
Another incredible episode with a fun ad that I actually enjoyed watching. The production quality is top notch. Great product you’re putting out there.
Last year I upgraded from the 13 Pro to the 14 Pro.... this year I am sticking with my 14 Pro. Gonna wait until next year and do the opposite of what Jon says again 😂
“Upgraded” from 13 to 14 lol I’m still on my Xr.
Bro is a millionaire, also 14 is a downgrade from,the 13 💀💀💀 you made a mistake
@@Indy_Mapping_Edits absolutely not. Not one issue with my 14 pro max. Not one. Almost a year in and still at 97% battery health. It's a dam fine phone.
@@Techfanatic73 oh its a pro max, I thought you were talking about the 14 pro regular sized. 14 pro max is solid in battery
@@Techfanatic73i got the 14 pro max as well. It’s not a bad phone like this guy makes it out to be. I came from a XS and honestly could have waited for the 15. But even so, I don’t regret the decision much. Every iphone is gonna be better than the last and this year’s model is no different. They improved the design of last year’s model slightly and used lighter materials. But in terms of durability, the 14 pro with the stainless steel is actually better in drops.
Jon. You have taken your channel to another level. Love this video. Stay real and not like the “rest of tech CZcams”.
Jon, I’m really liking your new approach to creating videos.
Traded a bit of durability for comfortability and repairability. The rear glass is easier to remove now, so it's much cheaper to replace. I mean I wish it was stronger, BUT I also am not going to purposefully bend my phone with my entire strength, and I also use a case on my phone so I am not really worried about my phone breaking. It is still super strong, even if it's a little less strong than last year.
I take a lot of photos of K’nex, Lego, hair, and clothes. Going from the XS to 15 Pro is better in every way. Finally, no over sharpening, which kept the XS looking very good compared to many newer iPhones, so much that I didn’t feel like upgrading. No one mentioned this, but the screen is way way brighter, with better viewing angles and contrast (yes noticeably better contrast even though it’s oled to oled). Brightness of LCD, with performance of OLED. It really feels like no compromise.
Best breakdown of the glass back crack issue I’ve yet heard. Thank you.
I ❤ this format! Great vid! Objective, honest and on point!
Coming from the 12 pro this has been an amazing upgrade. It’s simply great. I will say battery life is my single complaint. It’s not bad by any means, but it definitely needs to be the top priority for next year.
I’ve had great batter life. 12+ hours of screen on time.
@@paperwind1841 dang really? I’m getting about 8 with zero overheating
@@jakebrown2235 yup 15 PM
@@jakebrown2235its a bot probably. I got the 14 pro max for the battery when i moved from my XS. The regular pro models have a big problem with battery life. The max models are the ones with the bigger battery and can age more gracefully.
The battery life is not that much better than last year because even though apple has 3nm chip most apps arent designed to take full advantage of it yet. Especially insta which is probably why the iphone over heated for people who use it. And i think apple is holding back the 3nm chip because of this issue so its possible as more apps support this chip architecture ur phone will get better
Great video. I laughed at you telling reviewers to stop with the benchmarks. You’re so right, I haven’t had an iPhone feel slow or glitchy since iPhone 5 or 6. I don’t do Betas which look fun, but cause many of these problems.
Realistically, you're not going to be able to tell a difference in performance between an iPhone 12, or maybe even earlier, and a 15 Pro. The year over year CPU performance improvements are mostly just for longevity and scalability to the M series.
The GPU improvements could actually start mattering, though, with AAA games coming to iPhone, but we'll have to see about that.
Honestly the one part of the SoC that probably makes the most difference these days is the neural engine. I noticed that Face ID for example is faster and can cope with more edge cases/angles on my 15 Pro than the 13 I upgraded from, and other ML tasks seem significantly improved as well.
Ok a Not a Ad was so unexpected-I mostly always skip the ad but-Not this time!!-Thanks for your super entertaining and enjoyable videos Jon-Keep up the informative and really amazing videos!!-This was so funny!!
My IP15P has been great so far, just wish they would improve the battery life with an update cause with the A17 PRO chip the potential is there!
(not) completely agree
I've found the battery life on my 15 Pro to be quite good, not a huge one but it is an upgrade from my 13.
the battery on my 15 pro hasn't been great when I'm using it, but when its in my pocket, it uses near zero battery. Overall it's still an improvement from my 12 pro max with it's aging battery. I do wish it was better when I'm using it, but knowing that it gently sips power when it's not in use is just encouraging me to only pull it out of my pocket when i actually need to use it
Is the software update going to handle some of the battery issues?
@@NashvilleDave I'd take the fact that you're seeing an improvement going from a pro max to a regular sized pro at all as a positive.
He’s right. I’ve had the 15 pro max for a few days now coming from the 14 pro max. No regrets. Haven’t gotten hot. Feels better in the hand and lighter. USB C is nice too. Now I can charge all my devices with just one cord
Thanks for the amazingly positive review I bought and pre-ordered myself the 15 pro max in my personal favorite color Blue Titanium and I love it the look, feel, for me the battery life is great, the amazing cameras, the action button, and etc now having it for 2 weeks getting mine on Launch day I love it and it diffidently for me felt worth the upgrade from the 12 pro regular size not max to the new 15 pro max! It deffidently is the best iPhone apple made and doesn't have any problmes unlike what liars want people to believe. I saw someone say the 15 pros were the perfect package and it makes sense to describe it the phone does everything so well without any issues it realy is a perfect package!
This was one of the funniest and most informative shows I’ve seen you do and I agree with everything you said especially battery life and the titanium sides. They’re great….most of the time😂
Best (not a) review video that I’ve seen, I’ve been loving my 15 pro for the last to weeks and it’s been by far my favorite phone in a while. Thanks for an awesome video Jon 🙌🏻
How about the battery life and overheating?
Excellent “not a review” I actually find it hard to find just a balanced honest “review” your practical method is so refreshing.
Flossy carter is the best reviewer imo always keeps it 💯
Damn, I love the points that Jon brings up that no other reviewer usually speaks about even if they're subjectively not as important. Serious Jon (not) reviews are super insightful! 💯
Thanks for your reviews. You get to the point and what we need to know.
That "(not) an ad" is the best ad that I seen in fah-pah-tah! Very entertaining! Love it! 🔥🔥
Thanks. Here for you 🥕
This clip is better than all typical „reviews“ because everybody knows the specs and colors and a-z and what you want now after 2-4 weeks is a IRL experience from someone being honest about Pro and Contra this expensive new toy.
Wonderfull entertaining, as always 🥳
this was way better than most "reviews" out there, this felt so grounded and real, and your line at the end really hit, fantastic job :D
Thanks Sir Jon, are giving a real honest review on the phone. And putting a cap on those rumors of the iPhone 15 pro. I am a Apple fan, but I totally agree with everything you said in this video I also like how you left out all the useless stuff out of your review, I mean "not a review". Like, the specs, the benchmarks or when tech reviewers show the iOS build number like what am I gonna do with the build number of iOS? What is that gonna offer me I have no reason why they show that. Keep it up man this is a real review of the iPhone 15 as a normal user.
Very good point. Repairable means it comes off easier with less force. I think people forget that. Like how with older phones with removable batteries, if you drop it the battery might go flying.
Straight-to-the-point pros and cons that an average person can relate and understand. This definitely makes the buying decision much easier!
So refreshing to see someone capable of looking from outside the bubble. Keep the good work!
Thank you so very much for your content Jon I really appreciate it I have a iPhone 15 pro n it’s really cool ❤😊since the over heating when I get in call that’s so much better now n I didn’t have that with any other apps
Been watching Jern for many-a-years and as much I love funny Jern, I really really love this Jon Prosser non-review stuff.
Dude, this video and the past are really good journalistic pieces of work...great work!!!
Just got the 15 Pro Tuesday..I came from the regular 12..I love it!!
Great video! I’ve had my Iphone7 all these years and I am going to have the natural titanium one even though I prefer my real home button…
About the action button setting? So true!!!!!!!!! It looks so out of place!
Loved this ‘not a review’ so much. Funny and insightful. Definitely following.
That was a really good video. Enjoyed it. Very balanced and fair throughout.
Loving these videos Jon.
You’re one of my favs now after hearing ur name so many times over the years. Your voice sounds different than I expected. Ur funnier than I expected. U look different than I expected. And I love it all! Thank u Jon Prosser. If we hung out I’d always refer to you as Jon Prosser and I think most would agree!
Omg dude the reminders thing drove me nuts! Started with iOS 17 beta. The reminders notifications option didn’t even show up in settings for me. Eventually I was able to change it in the app itself after I updated to the non beta version. I live on reminders especially during school so this messed me up bad.
My sister also got the 15 pro and I have a 13 pro max. Can confirm, the 15 pro feels amazing! If they had a burgundy option I’d get a 15 pro immediately
absolutely love your humor & reviews!!!!!
Great and honest review! Good job, everything you need to know said well. 👌
I think I found the best tech channel for my liking!! Man every thing he talks is the review I look for😅
One of greatest and honest review of a product. John you beauty 😊
This is the review we need, the honest dead pan straight answers, I mean the battery life is meh, the heat is some what warmer, but nto something I would say you should care about. The screen is nicer, the camera are nicer the weight is nice.... and yep it feels great in the hand
Loving these type of videos
Great vid bro I'm liking your channel very much. I agree with you for the most part, I would upgrade from the 12 Pro Max that I'm still rocking for the 15 Plus as I'm not a videographer.
FINALLY, I’m so glad you mentioned the trade off between repairability and durability, it’s common sense and I can’t believe no other reviewer mentioned it. Thank you Jon. People hate on Apple for not being repairable, then they hate on Apple for being repairable and a bit less durable. Can’t win😂
Great video Jon, actually completely agree with the you on almost all of your points. I still feel the need to use a case but my case has a stand built-in so I don’t feel that titanium anger. I do love how much lighter it is the the 14pro. Battery still stinks.
I really don't get why so many people are saying things like this when, in battery tests, they almost always rival or beat the competition. Do all phones have bad battery life then? if so, what exactly makes it bad?
I have a feeling people don't know that screen brightness is the biggest battery draw in most phones right now, and leave auto brightness on or keep the screen brightness really high, then complain when their phone dies before they go to bed.
It was a good video, just dont know why he assumes every person that gets the iphone 15 pro is going to go caseless just like he does lol. Legit everyone has a case on their iphone
Yup I hate the fine woven case. I was one day out of my return period to send it back. Apple was smart about sending it out so quick before the phone
My 14 pro over sharpening stopped with 17.0….definitely more natural….no issues with battery life or capacity….or overheating… I use a case but I do prefer 8 plus for weight and comfort…
Hands down best iPhone 15 pro review for a regular mortal like me lol That’s all I needed to know about the new iPhone! Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
I watched quit a few camera comparison videos and I wouldn’t say it’s that much better. HDR5 is better and the default 24 mp helps, but you can set your 14 Pro to 48 HEIF now. Colors are mostly the same if you update to ios 17. A little less over processing has been applied to older models. Night mode’s a little better and HDR a little better. With setting adjustments, everything else is nearly identical. And the main lens is the same Sony sensor as last year.
Great review! I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max and as critical as I can be of Apple at times, absolutely love it. I agree with you that it is the best made iPhone yet. However, I also think iOS 17 is the best new operating system in years. They go great together.
yeah I have one also same size (natural) and found out that geshen impact runs at 120fps didn't even know and the other famous brand only 60fps thats all I need to know according to (David A.Valles ) near the end of video. but I'm not sure if I'm updating to 17.0.03 from 17.0.02 cause you lose 5% performance according to others and mines cold. Unless I have to?
Thank you John for giving new iPhone your blessing
Thanks for the not review, I have exactly the same feeling with the Titanium frame. It is ice but sometimes it is not exactly nice:/ I thought that maybe I am wrong but you have got that too
19:03. The 14 plus was the same way last year with the more reparable glass and it did not break. The theory I am hearing is that the titanium is too strong and not flexing a bit with the glass like the aluminum or even the steel and that is why it is breaking.
Are you aware that Apple should have tested that?
@@Teluric2 They likely did. I have heard other back glasses breaking more easily in drops which is due to increased reparability but not due to the pressure being applied like what Zach did. I’m guessing Zach just got a lemon and that it was just a bad unit.
I was skeptical about the rounded off edges but I gotta agree, it just feels better in the hand. I also am not using a case on mine when I'm at home and sorry, I don't like Casetify, the branding around the camera bump turns me off. Good video, refreshing compared to the review videos out there. Thanks Jern!
I agree about the branding. I hate being a walking ad for companies.
Went from an iphone xs to samsung s21. I will be getting this next. Say what you want but i think oneUI on samsung and iOS are both great. I dont mind switching back and fourth.
Thank you for this Jon Prosser
Another fantastic video I love the last few videos like this you’ve done. Cutting through all the rubbish that so called techies on social media platforms have been saying. You want to protect your phone buy a case - just not the new Apple ones 😄. Keep up the good work looking forward to the next one in this style
I still have the xs max and I was really looking for an upgrade. I think I'm gonna go with the next storage option above the base one just to future proof a little bit, would have went with 512 but that's too expensive for me
Somebody made an action button shortcut as a pop-up window with tons of dope options to choose from. They call it control panel 2, super fire 🔥
That’s it, I’m absolutely sold on the case 😂 probably the 5th ad I’ve seen for this brand. Yours is BY FAR the best. I love your sarcasm, keep up the great work!!
The cars are overpriced. No case should cost more than $30. These cases he presented cost $70 or more and they’re the same as every case out there. Made with TPU and rubber. I used to be in the case business and I had the same manufacturer as them and they were sold $6 a unit.
14:58 yes! The sandy Titanium feel is only sometimes!
The Action button UI is very overkill, I agree. I would prefer to be able to assign more than one thing to the button (single click, double click, click and hold, triple click) instead of a stupid UI that I will hardly ever see and takes up storage space on my phone.
Your videos have elevated like crazy! Almost unfollowed but I’m here to stay now. Nice work dude
I love the black titanium. I really love it. It has a carbon fibre feel to it that I can’t explain.
Appreciate the honesty 👍
at the first talks of usb-c i just stopped buying lighting related products and switched to wireless charging. using wireless charging at work/care and nightstand. i never worry about charging. never. never plugged it in. ever.
From windows mobile to Iphone 1 to android fan boy for years and years I switched 2 years ago to the 13pro max just simply because of it just always works and feels fast! I never notice it lagging I pick up my old android sometimes and I'm surprised at how slow it really is.
Hard to believe
I have to agree with the camera - my iPhone 14 Pro always would kinda stutter when processing and image - iPhone 15 Pro is just blazing fast.
Also Usb C is amazing
worth it to be more comfortable and more repairable. they are durable enough compared to yesteryear. everyone should be treating these like the $1000-$1500 devices that they are are casing it up. my laptops at the same price point go back in the cushy sleeve every night, and sit on a cooling mat with external fans every day during use. take care of your stuff people :)
I assume those laptops aren't Apple silicon MacBooks? I can't imagine needing external cooling for an M series chip for normal use.
Great Video as always ❤
“I’m a person” simply a sign of an honest reviewer. Keep it up JP! 👏🏼
I’m loving my iPhone 15 Pro. The upgrade from the iPhone SE 2020 to iPhone 15 Pro was huge!
What Sam did by dropping it from 2 stories high on concrete was MEAN. The fine woven case I got from Apple is hard to get off the phone. The Nomad leather case comes off a lot easier. I think Apple is just making their cases a tighter fit.
I guess you missed MobileReviewsEh kettlebell workout and deconstruction of the FineWoven case.
I have the 14 Pro Max and I usually only have to charge mine once every 3-5 days. And I regular use it for 2-3 hours per day at 100% brightness
I really love your videos. Super down to earth.
Those rounded edges have made the phone weaker, as Sam’s 14/15 Pro Max demonstrates! Wish the natural titanium model had an orange button to match the watch!
i like the energy in this video, no not looking at you battery-life
Are the Casetify cases really that good? Does anyone know if this makes the camera module or LIDAR sensor worse?
So stoked about this video
I’ve been gone for a while but I was waiting for toilet jokes and wild takes but this real calm and straight to the point NOT a review is nice and I’ve been missing out
Last few videos have been amazing!
Very well said! Well explained.
Shortly after the announcement of the new phones, I made a comment on one of Sam’s Apple Track videos, saying it didn’t feel like I would be getting much of an upgrade from my 12 Pro Max, going to a 15 Pro. My assumption was very wrong. I thought I was mainly getting a better form factor and little in the way of functionality improvement; this was wrong, I was incorrect. I love the new phone; I think I feel like it’s a better step up than when I went from a 6+ to the X or even X to 12 Pro Max. Plus the natural titanium color is…just the best!
Thanks Jon , noted, agreed.
Loved the not a review man
Hey FPT, great video, as usual. But. I bet you dollars to donuts that if you do a poll nobody would agree to have a less durable glass vs. slightly curved adges, because how many people use iPhone without a case, less than 5%?
I love these so much!!
Mapping the Action Button to shortcuts. I love it! I recommend turning off background all refresh for battery savings. It makes a big difference. Same with low power mode when you’re not using the phone. Fine woven, not so fine! Jon, love the videos. Especially the last one on the EU. 👍🏻👍🏻
How do you turn off background all refresh? And also low power mode?
I agree with the action button 100000000%. It's a very good-looking interface but not an "Apple" like. It does not belong to iOS. It's not such a big deal but I expect a future improvement to this action button menu. Good job Jon. We love you here in Greece!!!!!
I literally laughed out loud when you said the fine woven case was ass. HAHA. Great content, man.
You nailed it about the tech CZcamsrs comment regarding overheating.
Yeah man, the software changes on the camera actually helped my photos as a tattoo artist so much more than the previous 5 iPhones!
Great video Jon, can you make one of these videos for the Google pixel 8pro. Really would like to hear your thoughts on it.
He will never do it
Probably right. We all have iPhones anyway. Worth a try
