iPhone 16 Pro vs 15 Pro vs 14 Pro vs 13 Pro: CAMERA TEST Comparison!

[@Mr.White1]

This one surprised me positively. I love everything about my 13PM. It still runs smooth, still has great battery, no issues whatsoever after three years. And great camera as we can see here. My phone stays until it falls apart.

[@amirhamzah6180]

have u update to ios 18.1? any problem?

[@Mr.White1]

@ no I’m staying on 15.7.

[@onion.express]

@@amirhamzah6180 I've got 18.0 on 13 pro and it's just bad. As usual, Apple is releasing software broken in so many ways, it should be called beta. Next year I'll wait much longer before updating to the newest iOS. Also the new Photos app is just crap. They should double test their UX ideas with actual users - totally unusable.

[@logankraft146]

My 13 pro max has been an absolute beast, and even now at 79 battery capacity 😅 because I’m a very heavy user the phone does not give up. But the 15pm and 16pm are both phones I’d upgrade to but considering I’ve kept my phone in such nice condition I’ve decided to run this phone till its last breath. Besides the battery getting old which I obviously can just replace, I do also have screen burn it which is pretty noticeable with the brightness down and in lower light conditions, which is definitely quite annoying

[@logankraft146]

Other than that phone has been solid as a rock, just as smooth as day one

[@mrcovels]

[@MichaelW.1980]

I am not surprised, the 13 Pro still is going strong. After all, the super-tiny sensor size has long ago become the limiting factor for the image quality long ago and post process can only do so much. That’s why I believe, that the next iPhone will not look substantially better either. Is this a bad thing though? No, certainly not.

[@RetrocadePodcast]

Yes the small physical sensor will always be a hinderance for smart phone cameras in comparison to point and shoot or mirrorless cameras with much bigger sensors. The RX100VII or the Canon EOS R10 take far superior photos, but for the average consumer the iPhone Pro models do a very servicable job.

[@Best360]

Thank you for the awesome comparison!

I own iPhone 13 Pro Max and always been wanting to know how and where does the camera shows its age but not bad at all. Hopefully iPhone 17 will be worth the upgrade.

[@conclave-mendoi]

The most logical comparison on the entire internet! Compare a new iPhone with an old iPhone. For someone who already owns an iPhone, there’s no dilemma about which phone to buy next. It’s Apple versus the rest of the market, so we must compare iPhones against iPhones and Androids against other Androids. Even if a Pixel has better photo quality in some cases, it’s irrelevant for someone who’s never going to buy an Android. Similarly, if an iPhone has better video or photo quality, it’s useless for an Android fan. So, it’s apples to apples and Androids to Androids.

Coming from a 13 pro max to a 16 pro max. I can 100% confrim the 13 pro max camera is miles head. I have 4 other friends who have also confirmed and compared. Apple is a joke. 48mp vs 12mp and almost 8 times the storage per photo but yet there is less detail. Please take a photo of close up writing etc and see if you experience the horrendous ghosting the 16 pro max has!

I had a 13 pro and I upgraded to a 15pro and I don’t know if you noticed this too. But the iPhone 13 Pro raw has 12 bit color. The iPhone 15 pro raw only has 10. I can’t remember how much exactly but that’s like 2 billion less colors than 12 bit

This was a HUGE help for me - I’m currently trying to decide between the 14, 15, or 16 pro.

I’m currently tolerating the iPhone SE(2020) with a shot battery that lasts about a half hour when really using it and a borderline worthless camera. Can’t wait for the upgrade, thanks for helping me decide! Great shots, editing, everything - definitely deserving of a like and sub.

[@sammyt3514]

Another great comparison; succinct yet informative and brilliantly produced. At 1:46 there's a ghost image of the writing on the sign that's very visible on the 16 Po, less visible on the 15 Pro and none existent on the older models (you have to freeze frame to see it since the transition is too fast), which is curious!

[@MarcinGomulak]

That might be a better dynamic range. Usually on DSLR cameras, I've attached the polarizer filter to the lens. It basically "sort of" allowed you to overcome the reflections and see through the glass. It worked best on clear water, car windshield for example. I'm amazed. So either it's just a perspective that allowed the camera to minimize the reflections, or it actually comes with something that makes it act like it had a polarizer filter. Thanks for noticing that!

[@sjenkin88]

I'm two weeks into owning my 16 pro. I think I would have picked up the 15 pro had it still be available as I'm upgrading from a 7 Plus. However, you video - as a photographer - has made me feel like I've made the right choice. And am I the only one who sort of likes the new camera control?

[@sterling_max]

Great video, thanks

[@adriasanchezcaballe]

Great video!

[@EggTamago7]

Nice comparison. I have a 13 PM still, and can't say the camera really lets me down. I mostly shoot in ProRaw, and the files still have a lot of latitude. My main beef with it is honestly just how the telephoto lens performs in less-than-idea lighting. I probably use the 3x/77mm lens about as much as the main sensor, so I'm not super interested in an upgrade until that sees a significant improvement. I'd also like to see the HEIC files ease off on the sharpening, or at least have it more configurable without having to shoot in ProRaw.

Ben - Thank you for your informative comparison videos over all these years! They've definitely helped me decide when and when not to upgrade on a few of my phones. What surprised me the most was the 'in-frame' audio quality from the 16pro. 2:42 - I might be biased as a 14promax user, but I thought the 14pro low light image looked the best. The real question is, which one was more a more accurate representation of the room?

The technology has been so good the past several generations that it is not the device that is limitation, it is the user. The story you tell, your use of light, your composition are what matter. These comparisons are just pixel peeping. Most people look at photographs on a phone screen and tiny differences in resolution, clarity and colour are indiscernible. Only the story and the impact of the photograph matter.

It's actually a damning indictment of Apple's business strategy, which is to drip-feed hardware improvements each year. Te only thing keeping Apple in the same ballpark, camera-wise, is their computational photography processing. In hardware terms, Android flagships have left Apple way behind. Apple's decision to exclude the iPhone 15 and all iPhone 14 models from any AI features is also pretty disgraceful and a transparent attempt to try and drive up slowing sales, year-on-year. I currently have an iPhone 14P and my next phone will be one of the Android flagships, probably the Vivo X200 Pro.
