[@aussiebobb]

Always love some refresher content and even seem to learn a couple new tricks, love the Action button shortcuts and I have a handful set on mine from new note to camera ,silent mode and opening a signature app for work. I wasn’t going to change from the 14 pro max but glad I did, I also noticed to cellular consistency and stronger signal

[@donaldibaledreamlover6272]

Just got my iphone 15 pro max blue titanium today! Thanks for these helpful tips. I love my phone now even more. Upgraded from iphone 11 to iphone 15 pro max.

[@MateoOG]

going to get a 15 pro max in December. It's going to be so great upgrading from an 11.

[@landerdiaz]

nice i'm upgrading from an xr so it's also gonna be a huge relief

[@cody6550]

@@landerdiazI just upgraded from an X because it was on its last legs, and my god does it feel good.

[@cliffordarrow6557]

[@doshagarner624]

Great video. Very helpful. First iPhone and it’s amazing!!!!

[@thomasfinley4199]

Recently got a 15 Pro Max. Your video has been the most instructive video so far for undersranding my new 15. Thank you for your teaching skills!

[@WolfBandit89]

I just purchased my new iPhone 15 ProMax just 2 days ago. Thank you! I learned so much. I use the touch back 3 taps for my flashlight. I come home at night so I need for sure

[@user-td2nt6rd3z]

Hey Brandon, does the double/triple back tap work with the casetify case on?

[@jameskeener7251]

There's a lot of rich information here. So much, I kept having to scroll back, eventually slowing the play speed. Thanks for the help.

[@midwestchannel345]

Hey Brandon, could you please share which external ssds card reader you are using and recommend to record video externally onto an sd card? Thanks!

[@hty56789]

This video was super helpful especially with the Camera settings!!!! Thanks for the video!!!!

[@Flyhigh253]

Just received my 15 pro max a few days ago and this video helped tremendously!

[@pukacici]

Thanks Brandon! ❤

[@AshChapman777]

Thanks Brandon, got a few tips from this video.

[@rejamo]

Awesome stuff learned some cool tricks

[@arcanemichael]

Just got mine! Loving it so far!

[@priestlyyaadpapi31]

Brandon, I consistently revisit your video pre- and post-receipt of my iPhone 15, conscientiously absorbing the entirety of your insightful tips. Gratitude, bredda.

[@RhymeRealmGaming]

Lifesaver thank you. Really helped some of these tricks and tips

[@papadojohnny]

Hi Brandon - thank you for the awesome tips and tricks! Quick question on storage: would you say that the 256bg version of 15ProMax is enough for the average user? Which storage version are you using? Your opinion is appreciated greatly!

[@warp1n697]

Google it lol

[@crusadertwo239]

Seeing as the iPhone 15 pro has 128 by default id say YES lol

[@tomasvircik3742]

I'd say 256 would do the job once you transfer your photos and videos to laptop once in a while. However, if you're going to use it for shooting some videos like content and such, you would better do with bigger storage options. 😎

[@donelson52]

Great video! Do one of these every month !

[@artfartzy]

I just noticed that today that the flashlight icon now shows in the dynamic island when it's on, and it's so nice that you can turn it off from there, instead of having to go to the controle center.

[@AkashSingh-uk5ub]

As always best tips,also i just want to know,if i don’t transfer data neither from my old iPhone nor from iCloud during initial setup and just login the same apple id as old iphone after setup from settings,will it sync contacts,call log,calendar messages or not? Will this exact setup works for Mac too ?

[@iftikhar461]

Thanks its very useful for me

[@FalhenStudios]

Thanks for sharing, am an avid phone user that maximize the features and this is my first iPhone again since iPhone 6sPlus. Glad I watch this video and my phone will serve it purpose accordingly

[@JovonPoole]

Thanks 4 these gems. I feel more comfy w my 15 pro max now. Can’t wait to record some epic things 😎🤙🏽

[@MattHalpain]

Great tips. I like the always on display with the trick to show the battery level.

[@MissSmurfey]

Haven’t had a chance to watch this video. How can we see battery level on the AOD?

[@ameerali9702]

That's pretty Amazing. Always love to watch your videos

[@foru2c]

likewise!!😂❤

[@jf2291]

Great video!! Thanks a lot

[@densetsu_vegas]

Changed lots of things, thanks for the tips

[@MellaOhMy]

Just got mine today & the tips are very helpful 😏

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

💥Excellent video. 9:23 I went into settings/camera and put a check by 24 MP but after I take a picture and swipe up on one to see the metadata it still shows 12 MP. What am I doing wrong? The file size is always 3024x4032 whether I choose 12 or 24 MP

[@Tyler-pb8ne]

Great Video Brandon. Loving the consistency of the videos lately. I’m having a lot of in app freezing on my 15 pro max. Is this a known thing?

[@BrandonButch]

Thanks Tyler! App freezing is not normal/known.. did you update to 17.0.3?

[@Tyler-pb8ne]

@@BrandonButch I just did today. Will keep an eye on it! I will be in messages, or safari and the app will freeze to where I have to force close.

[@abdullahamiri5773]

Hey Brandon, does Standby only work while charging?

[@iliminator1000]

Thinking of upgrading from my 11, any recommendations?

[@guitarmaneddie8267]

Hey Brandon, Would it be possible if you done a video on the iPhone 15 Plus? For what I need the ProMax is more then what I would ever need. And yes I agree with the other ones on here You make some fabulous videos, very useful 👏🏻

[@BrandonButch]

I covered the 15/15 Plus in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoHQk2CjgcR5a6csi=TPNyxlTJXFBQIefn

[@TheCrimsonPope]

oh my gawd I have been going back and forth thinking if I should switch to iOS or not, and I've watched dozens of videos at this point and it is only THIS ONE that told me what I needed to know, that the functions I need desperately are there. Thank you.

[@pierrenj79]

One word : perfection

[@DustinHarrisWHBC]

Dude the noti's are killing me

[@KhmaiMedia]

thanks brandon!

[@BrandonButch]

🙌

[@colmflaherty3963]

You did a very good here better than some others. Thanks very much. One thing I liked about the Galaxy phone is you could pause video recordings. Not sure if this can be done with the iPhone unless you could get an app?

[@stacceyes5911]

Just got my iPhone 15 pro max, very helpful video! Natural Titanium like it so far.

[@KinzShadow]

I can’t wait. My phone is coming today around in two hours I can’t wait. It’s a black titanium 1tb

[@Pooroljc]

I really enjoy your video's and your in depth research. I have a new iPhone 15 Pro coming sometime in the next week or that's what Apple says. Thanks again. Kudo's 2 U !!

[@killswitch9571]

Will the double tap , triple tap function work when u have ir cover on

[@MajestyBlue5]

I’ve tested out both pro raw 48 and heif max. Heif is definitely good for like casual photo taking and maybe slightly better quality than the 12 mp but pro raw 48 is still far better quality and is what I recommend using for those best quality shots. I’d even say pro raw 12 mp is better then heif

[@jimbeaux89]

Wow the stabilization in the camera is actually pretty damn sweet. I had no idea!

[@JamesBoren]

Great tutorial Brandon ..!! Thanks so much. Titanium white on iPhone Pro Max for me. Coming off an iPhone X Max 🙂

[@andersontibbetts950]

Brandon you are the best.

[@msbgone]

Great vid, but the silent mode icon was such a bonus for me, I like having it and keeping the action button for something else, but I still forget to use it sometimes! LOL!

[@BrandonButch]

Haha to each their own! You can always access it in the CC!

[@user-fc1lw1rq7e]

I really like what we get with the USB C port and I feel like maybe this gives us some certainty they are not going to go portless real soon. If they did all of this would disappear

[@TyranVz]

Back tap is a game changer

[@peterwilson9699]

Very nice!

[@joyyisa4784]

Hi My iPhone 15 pro max camera does not zoom more than 3× How can I set it please?

[@karenbford]

Thank you for all the tips! I haven't seen anything about KZbin. I can't sign in to my account on youtube because it won't recognize my face ID. Can't seem to get around it.

[@leonardberverena1030]

So good video information ℹ️ 😊

[@Belipena]

You’re the best

[@17JD-950Adventure]

Hey Brandon, While trying to add battery status to my Lock Screen I am able to get my Apple Watch to show but no iPhone. When I select batteries, in editing the widget, only the Apple Watch is available no iPhone. Is there a way to get the phone to show up ? Thank you

[@Twinfather49]

Does the triple press work with a case on the phone?

Watching while I’m waiting for mine to arrive

Great vid, thx. :)

[@oakesy46]

How do @BrandonButch I am having a bad experience with my 15 pro max when it comes to cellular service (o2) I am finding that I have to hold my iPhone differently compared to my 14 pro max.

[@hamster4922]

Does anyone know what this charging dock is? 18:48

[@zoltanzerohero3099]

Nice vid🎉

[@alhashrkali]

What is the best percentage to charge the iPhone 15 Pro Max and when is the best time to plug it off? Is true that charging your phone to 100% will damage the battery life?

[@ISNT-THIS-BS]

I can’t find the battery widget for the always on display. It will show my watch but not my phone. Could you tell me how to find it. I have a 15 pro max

[@miguelkennedy9520]

Brandon Butch makes the best videos ever :)

[@jjtrejo4125]

always :)

Didnt know ablout backtab Thank you

[@vincent7603]

@BrandonButch the screenshot at 4:38 is a Thunderbolt 2.0 cable not a TB3 or TB4 that uses the USB C port/connector.

[@QuintessentialG]

I get a insight in battery page saying “Your iPhone has been used more than usual since upgrading iOS, which may affect battery life” What does this mean ? 15 pro iOS 17.0.3

[@yaboy300]

I like that action button shortcut how u do it

[@cymoneelante]

I just got this phone in the white titanium and I knew exactly to come to learn more about it cause I never looked into this specific device😅

[@eeksterwv]

Just got 15 pro max. Mine does not offer the option of a phone battery widget like you showed, only a battery watch. Any ideas?

[@ehfaznowman1716]

I dont have the battery widget of the phone option for my lock screen . I have it for my Apple Watch and not the phone. How do I fix this?

[@RealJoseph123]

15:07 I wish I could sleep that early… 😂

[@marioraposo340]

Hey Brandon, could you answer a quick question for me.....I have an iPhone 11 pro max.....would you upgrade to the IOS 17?? I heard a lot of the newer features in IOS 17 aren't available in older models? I am afraid if I upgrade to IOS 17 that my iPhone 1 Pro Max will become slower. Thanks Brandon :)

[@TheTravelJunkiee]

Don't. I got a 11 pro, it slowed down like anything.

[@malikjones9383]

I got the 15Pro Max in Black. What cooling fan charger is that in the video at 14:40?

[@Robert-Wilson]

I’d like to know the same thing. I’m still rocking my 13 pro max and I don’t like how the MagSafe charger I have gets real warm if I have my phone doing anything while it’s charging.

[@zturner3240]

What’s Dynamic Island known to do? I really want one.

[@geanabato331]

Can help me fix the heating issue while charging after 80% its normal again

[@bskarpa]

Can someone help me out with something. My 15 pro max wont do the automatic portrait mode photo thing. It did at first but now you have to go to portrait mode for it to work.

[@DjangoGroen]

i have a shortcut that AOD only is turned on when it's charging. i just dont want it on all the time. and if i want it on without charging. i have it on my action button menu that i also made with shortcuts :D

[@aajaaaa]

Best iPhone ever

[@deewhyy7012]

You can also charge a buddies phone with a duel usb cable.

[@joelhugill7554]

whats the case callled with the brown technical stuff on the back i cant find it

[@dalian3903]

I got the 15 pro max, originally i had the regular 12, i wanted the bigger screen bc my hands are giant so i have no issues with reachability

[@FestivalFluter]

I like your stuff but any chance you can slow down a bit? Trying to follow how you customize your Lock Screen... repeat a few times... ack!!

[@realkoko-loco]

I have an eSIM. There’s no section to toggle 5G settings or any cellular settings. Whassup with that ?

[@crim1413]

Just bought the new phone and so far in this video the best feature is being able to turn off the silencer icon

[@c.daubz.5386]

Most cases on iphone 15pro max make it feel to big an bulky but no case on 15pro max feels perfect (dangerous though), so bought dataroad thin clear tpu case exact speaker holes and camera lens edge protection keeps original feeling, 👍👍video

[@jdharstonjr]

Brandon, can you tell me why I only have a battery widget for my Apple Watch and not for my iPhone (15 Pro Max)? I can’t figure out how to get the iPhone battery widget you showcased in this video.

[@OGHippieVibes]

Same boat here

This guy is the truth and he is so humble he will respond to your comments and he is so helpful has helped me for years thanks

Blue looks great this year! you already get it, or still waiting?

[@imJohnLD]

Preserve Camera Setting still doesn’t work as it should on iPhone 13 Pro Max after the update. 😩😢

[@ismethadzic]

The only reason I upgraded to 15 pro max is the action button. I bite my nails since I was 5. For me it was always a pain to switch the sound toggle with the case. Plus the type c charge.

[@_KrystalAlexis]

What is everyone’s thoughts on lens covers. I have never had them on any iPhone. My previous was the 11 pro. I’m am getting everyone telling me to put it on my 15 pro.

[@BrandonButch]

They're fine if you want max protection, but I don't think it's needed
