2 Months with the iPhone 15 Pro Max... HONEST Long Term Review (iPhone 15 Pro Max)

It's been just over 2 months with the iPone 15 Pro Max, so I wanted to give a "final" long term look at the device I've been daily driving, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a fantastic phone, and I've been using the 15 Pro Max now for just over 2 months.

thank you this is the first review I've seen that answers the question of whether the Action Button is a button that can be used when wearing gloves 🙏

I changed twice and both ones got heated and 2nd time, I started experiencing another issue which is its continues get disconnected with the internet and keep switching 4g and 5g and once you are on phone call your internet signal gets dropped, I even change the sim card with my network but still the issue remained same, I went to apple and they do not have any satisfied answer or was not able to sort this issue out and run their software check and despite its have clear issue but they cleared this off! i wasted almost 4-6 weeks but nothing seems to sort out with this new IPhone 15 pro Max and I finally returned this device and now happy with my old one.

15Pro is the sweet spot. I’d trade battery for one handed use. And I much prefer the 3x lens over the 5x. I had the 15PM first, sold it.

[@chris7077]

the size is nice on the 15 pro but the battery is total trash

Is it normal for the back camera to have a flare? It looks like my camera has astigmatism. Lol

I’ve the 13 pro max and although there are nice small upgrades I can’t convince myself to upgrade

Use it until you dont receive further updates. Then go for upgrade for a new model iphone that is 18/19.

[@MissSmurfey]

16 pro max will be 6.9 in screen way too big for me so I jumped on the 15 pro max. If they do increase the screen size and keep the 6.3 and 6.9 in I’ll get the pro next time I upgrade.

[@aaryan7474]

Battery drain issue still there after updating to ios 17.4

[@ricekava84]

Yeah, it’s all cool and all. My husband and I will probably wait for the 16 series to upgrade. I would going from the 14Pro and he will be going from the 13 Pro Max

[@user-ge4uf4yz7s]

If I had been able to try out a Samsung before I went for top of the range iPhone 15, I would have chosen the Samsung. For connectivity it’s far superior. I also have new LG top of range tv and they don’t talk to each other, but trying out the same connections with a Samsung and it’s all plain sailing. I’ve always been with Apple but looks like I have to now spend more money and make a switch. Pissed off.

[@indragtlo2145]

I want to buy ip 15 pm, but heard some bugs there, especialy hot, wifi,,i meant should i buy this phone? Can apple handle and fix it?

[@sasajev12]

There is no bugs, it isn’t hot, no problem with wifi…. No problem at all.

[@MissSmurfey]

I have no problems with heat. I just bought mine, it has December manufacturer date so maybe the issue is fixed on the newer phones manufactured after launch.

[@lazyname4130]

which color did you find better ? the white or the natural? I can't decide

Very exceptionally, I was able to test more devices this year and there are 2 smartphones that take the number 1 spot; the S23 ultra and the iPhone 15 pro max. What smartphones, are they perfect? No, not that, that doesn't exist for me either, but they are the 2 best smartphones available. I had the S23 ultra, I now have the iPhone 15 pro max, what wonderful devices, what wonderful devices. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. My last iPhone was the iPhone 7, the 15 max is the best iPhone I have ever had, for an Android device this is the S23 ultra. I also had the S23, last week I took the same photo in the dark as my friend, in a hall where there was a performance and we took a beer glass there and the iPhone 15 max was much much better than the S23. The video camera is also better on the iPhone and the zooming in and out. The advantage of S23 ultra is that the software has more setting options, it is better to be able to take a screenshot of everything. I also had the Oneplus 11 and the Pixel 8 pro; They are good devices but there were too many buts for me. The oneplus 11 screen brightness was not good. The screen itself was great and so was the speed. But the video camera wasn't great. The pixel 8 pro; the brightness was not as good as I thought, the screen is matte and not as nice as the S23 ultra and iPhone 15 pro max. The video camera on the pixel 8 pro and the zooming in and out are also not that good. Not good enough for me. Another problem is that I have lost 10 apps at the pixel on the front screen, you cannot remove the bottom bar and neither can you remove the top bar. I do not like that.

I personally like the iPhone 15 pro max because it makes good phone calls.

Hi I am from India and I am using 15 pro max from this month .I have updated it to the latest 17.1.2 ios ,but still I am having battery Issue with my phone . I need your help how I can get it replaced coz my phone is under Apple India warranty ?I have changed all the necessary functions of this phone off but still I am not getting a battery backup of more than 5 hours screen on time

[@MissSmurfey]

What battery issues? Do you still have issues after the 17.3 update?

[@amitkapoor3128]

@@MissSmurfeyI have updated ios 17.4 still there is battery drain issue

[@JustinSherrod1991]

Just so you know, 2 months isn’t long term 😂 a year is long term

[@valismind]

I would consider 2 months to be a fairly long time to get acquainted with and comfortable with a device before reviewing it.

[@jasonkellum6983]

What happened to the Samsung Fold 5 being your daily driver ? The Fold 5 is obviously way better than that slab of an Apple phone.

[@deckhead33]

This iPhone is a beast. You ain’t got a clue what you’re talking about, jealous hater 😂

[@MissSmurfey]

Fold 5 is such a tall phone, that seems so awkward to carry in pockets!

[@jurt00]

As an iPhone 15 Pro Max user, and a 14 Pro Max user before that, I don’t notice much difference, if any, between the two. USB C is meaningless since I use MagSafe charging exclusively, and the cameras/internal components seem the same. There is no noticeable difference between the two phones. Next year, once RCS is implemented in iOS, I’m going to jump to Android. I miss having a revolutionary phone. iPhones have run stagnant for the last several years.

[@BOBBY-xd5wd]

Of course you're using 14 pro max which is not recommended for you to upgrade to 15.

[@thenewdesign]

I disagree, it feels so so much different in your hands

[@FlubFlubber]

That's not a huge difference, but that hasn't been the case for a long time, right? They are always small upgrades. But......... the iPhone 15 pro max, it feels so much better in the hand, I can operate it with one hand even though I don't have the largest hands and I can use it for hours on end. The iPhone 14 pro max is more difficult to handle and after a certain time it starts to weigh heavily on the hand/arm. Finally USB-C too, that was really necessary.

[@MinatoUzamaki_]

I think you should upgrade every 2-3 iPhones to feel the difference you’re looking for. I’m upgrading from an iPhone 12 to the 15 Pro Max and I’m loving it. Very significant upgrade and I can feel it.

[@MissSmurfey]

Upgrade every 2 years to notice a difference in the upgrade features if you want to have a better upgrade experience. Phones don’t drastically change between one year and the next.

[@BHIAFT]

I honestly regret trading my 13 pro max for this.. battery life IS NOT better than the 13 pro max. Even my battery capacity dropped 2 percent in a month… i had 87 capacity on my 13 pro max in two years and still had better battery life than this 15 pro max.

[@MissSmurfey]

It was well know that the 13PM was the best battery. You should have tried the 15pm before trading in your old phone if the battery was that important for you.

[@BHIAFT]

I jumped to early into it. I started seeing a lot of backlash on the 15PM after I got the phone and noticed the battery efficiency wasnt as great as the 13PM. Note to self wait 6 months before buying a new device and let people test them out. It not bad though. @@MissSmurfey

[@maverickmig211]

Problem is the battery life, its just not as good as the 13 pro max. S23 ultra is doing much better

[@terrylafauci791]

What??? I get 2 full days from my 15 pro max. Seriously, from 5am to midnight and by that time I still have 30-40% battery left. I get nearly 11 hours of screen time sometimes and when I work, I have gotten 2 days out of it.

[@bigdrews4360]

Which phone do you use for your main device? apple or s23 ultra?

MUCH smaller bezel ? Really MUCH . Apple people are hilarious constantly misusing the terms incredible and much for to define tiny improvement lol. Even Apple channels have mentioned after a few days you don't even notice it because its a fraction of a inch
