Apple has certainly made some improvements to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, or iPhone 15 range in general. But have those improvements been enough? The iPhone 15 Pro Max is likely the best iPhone in recent years, but what is it that makes it special? Are these new AI features coming up going to be enough to lure Android users over the Apple ecosystem and leave Android? I switched to iPhone Pro Max! But ...

[@paull3373]

I think both ecosystems have gotten good enough that it’s splitting hairs or very specific use cases. For me, just the integration between my devices (phone, watch, laptop, iPad) would be hard to replicate and take too much effort in an android / other ecosystem. I enjoy the tech, but too busy to have to figure our piecing together the alternatives - even if they offer some incremental benefit individually.

[@AlexGTech]

Absolutely the right approach! It can be foolish to compare and say one is better than the other. Like you said, it will come down to specific cases

[@Aggie4life77]

I 1000 percent t agree with this! At this point, the only thing I care about on Android that I feel iOS needs to add is split screen multitasking and pause video. All the other stuff is getting way to far in the weeds of tech and no one will switch from on or the other for any of it. I would also add that if iPhone gets those to features, it may be the best all around phone on the market! I say that because various Android phone do different things well, but not one does it all well.

@@Aggie4life77 allowing 5 icons in a row on Homescreen would also be nice

[@bobweiram6321]

@@AlexGTech Come on, you're not being truthful. You're clearly a man of good taste and know the iPhone is a way better product. Android can do most of the things it can do, but does it in a shitty way. The entire Android experience is bland, uninspiring, and dull. It's also the subtle details and refinement of the iPhone that makes all the difference. It's one thing to use Android because you have to, and another thing to use it because you want to. You might, for instance, drive a Honda Civic because it's the company car, but you'd be a fool to say it's as good as a Lexus. Most people who use Android don't care about their phone. It just happened to be the best deal they could get. The vast majority of people who switch to the iPhone regret not buying one sooner.

[@bobweiram6321]

@@Aggie4life77 Split screen multitasking on a iPhone? The screen is too small to make it an essential feature. As far as pausing video, not sure what you're talking about. If you remove the AirPods from your ears, for instance, the video or music would pause and continue when you put it back on.

[@DeborahCarlston]

This was really helpful. I got my first iPhone a year after they first launched, and I've stayed with them ever since. But they have seemed to lag behind other newer phones in many areas and I was wondering if I should switch. My iPhone 13 Pro is like new. My iPad gets more use. And, because they're linked, I even make and take more calls on the iPad during a work day. However, I am really unhappy that they aged my iPhone out of the AI features I just bought my iPad Pro 11 M4 for. Plus, because I keep them linked, switching to a different brand phone adds another negative on top of those you described. I'll be getting back into content creation soon and you've given me some things to think about. Thanks for the video.

[@AlexGTech]

Thank you, glad this was useful! Yeah the 13 Pro range is probably what I'd still be on if I wasn't making these reviews. And agreed, typical Apple to not launch AI features on those, despite them being more than capable

[@daraghmacgabhann1005]

I’ve gone back and forth between Android and iOS, there are major pluses and minuses for each, both software and hardware wise. Personally I prefer Android at the minute but my biggest blockage for staying on Android is my friends and family are 99% on iPhones. Add in that we have Apple TV at home and HomePods so as much as I try I generally end up reverting to iPhone. This is the power of the Apple Walled Garden. Love it or hate it iPhones are excellent as is my S23 Ultra. But given I use my phone mainly for personal and social use I’m back on an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Let’s see how long I stay.

[@AlexGTech]

I'd find it hard to give up all the cool things of the Galaxy devices. It's a luxury to be able to use both but if I wasn't making these videos I'd probably still have a S21 Ultra or perhaps a 13 Pro Max...

[@techwithbenefits]

I can say I've now been to some of the locations in this video

[@AlexGTech]

Absolutely! Surreal that you were here a few days ago!!

[@stevanb.2590]

I've been using Samsung flagships for 7 years straight. Switched from S23U (after 10 months of waiting for software updates to "fix" things on S23U, very clever, right?) to Iphone 14 Pro Max. Mainly because of terrible camera experience on Samsung, but there were many other problems noone mentions, too (like very weak vibration - a lot of missed calls and notifications, unpredictable battery life, wifi connection problems...). The only regret is I didn't do it earlier. Iphone feels and works like finished product, which is what I can't say for "yeah, we'll fix it with updates" Samsung devices. They are riding wave of old glory (last real flagship was Note9), but considering what competition on Android side has to offer - they can't do that forever. All youtube hype and marketing aside, if you look around, you really can't see many people using Samsung flagships anymore.

[@sviraci]

Almost all reviews say how good the cam on the S24U is but in real the normal cam is often very noisy, oversharpening and also white balance to „blueish“. All say its best display (yes anti reflection there is a game changer) but viewing angles are one of the worst, color calibration also. Maybe there are Androids (vivo x100 pro?) that have a better cam then iphone 15 pro max but at least is so consistence. Point and shoot without worries. Like Alex mentioned in the Video

[@stevanb.2590]

@@sviraci yeah, Samsung phones have so many problems these days. Speakers are not so good, too. So, bad camera, display problems, hollow sound, weak vibration... I mean, this phone is light years away from being "the best money can buy".

[@Rinnara21]

Same here. My worst regret was getting the s22 ultra Exynos version on release. Unreliable battery and performance, I sold it after 18 months of use and got the iPhone 15 pro max for £50 cheaper than the Samsung but miles better in pretty much every aspect. I regret not returning the Samsung for a full refund back then.

[@stevanb.2590]

@@Rinnara21 I got S23U hoping Snapdragon would make a difference. Nope, certainly not.

[@AlexGTech]

I don't know... For me the S21U, S23U and even now the S24 Ultra have been incredible devices. Videos, photos and all the extra functionality we get on those devices really make they seem good value for money. Okay the battery on S24U hasn't been amazing and there are issues in the 50/200MP modes but the display, the photos and video quality do make it a more rounded device for my use.

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

I switched from 15 Pro Max to S24 Ultra, now I’m back to 15 Pro Max again, why? Because iPhone is just so much more reliable and not glitchy like Android, I am so glad to be back! ❤

[@AlexGTech]

that's a lot of change!! Man, I stress out just thinking about my banking apps and authenticators. I do get that the iPhone has been stable. To be fair so has the S24 Ultra - my main issue has been battery on the S24U. Hoping the latest update (just installed today) will fix that

That does irritate me, especially when I see what other androids can already do. Hope they can deliver that via software soon

[@kendregab7328]

I'm going to upgrade my Note10 plus aura this year. I love it but I see it starting to slow down and battery life is horrible. I'm thinking of waiting for the Iphone16PM to come out before I make my decision. I'm thinking between Iphone16PM and the S24 Ultra. I'd definitely like to see a comparison video when the Iphone 16PM comes out 😄

[@AlexGTech]

Absolutely! Will be comparing that for sure. The 15 Pro or Pro Max will be a good buy I think if you want to move to iOS, but definitely wait if you can, because the prices will come down and hopefully the battery on the S24U will improve too

[@Usachatnow]

I’ve used. Both android and iPhone. I have the S24 ultra and a 13 pro max. I like the S24 but I still prefer the iPhone. I trust the iPhone way more than I do the S24. The iPhone just always work. However updates on androids crashes after about year with updates. Why can’t android release update for each phone instead of one update for all their phones. Apple does updates and the updates are personally tested on every model. Not to mention all the problems I have with my s24

[@AlexGTech]

I agree that some of the updates could be better but I also appreciate that to enjoy the different form factors and sheer functionality (S-Pen, Dex, shutter button on Xperia, etc.) there can’t be a single update. Apple has a simpler update setup but that’s because they control the hardware and let’s face it, there’s not much to change as the devices have been pretty similar for a long time. I just installed iOS18 prior to uploading this video (developer Beta) and I am pretty underwhelmed by it. I hope the AI features will bring some life back to the iPhone but I personally probably just need a break from it

[@nunovascolopes8915]

like as every update from apple didnt bring any issue, right? how many iphones did you have? how many times do you exchange for a newer one? you don´t know what you´re talking about. How many modes of iphone have major issues on updates? You know? just search a little bit man! you´re just kidding. I had all models of iphone since the iPhone 3gs, and exchange very frequently with android flagships When i got the S23 Ultra, it convince-me not to exchange for a period of 1 year. And when i upgraded to S24 Ultra, i didnt want to back to the old borred iOS. I can agree with the diferences in photos and videos, but the rest? NOPE!!! not even tried the 15 Pro Max and not the next iPhone 16 Pro Max.

[@Usachatnow]

@@nunovascolopes8915 nope my iPhone has never crashed from an update nor does it slow it down. Let’s not forget about how android sends video over text. Androids have those nice camera but when you send a video in text it looks like a 4 dollar camera

[@oh-yay6222]

Here comes something from left field. I'm convinced that with all this camera development, nuanced tweaks, and hype , that for my purposes a 3 year old phone would suffice. So when i wanted something different n special, i got an Ulephone 18T ultra. Now , that's different with Flir camera n huge battery n RADIO - offline , no internet required.....yes the camera is like finger painting stick figures but art for art sake lets you realize differences and measure your tastes.

[@VernL4]

Excellent video! I appreciate your honesty. I tried- honestly and truly tried multiple iphone & ipad models. There's just too many annoyances. Apple is too overpowered/overcontrolling with what they think you want (and are allowed) to do with your device. Even autocorrect is overpowered with the iphone. There were notifications that I was not able to turn off. Even notifications for shortcuts that I told the phone to run. I don't need a notification for that! Just do what I told you to do! The phone was like "HEY! Remember that thing you told me to do? I just did it!" Yes, the unethical thing of them overcharging for apps is downright filthy! I don't use social media, and the green bubble thing has absolutely ZERO value for me. Apple tries, but it's not good enough for me. I bought an unlocked Motorola for $150 in January and enjoy using it much more than the last iphone I had.

[@AbubakrGhoniem1]

Alex, When you switch to iphone for a while, how do you switch your WhatsApp? 😢

So you think I spent weeks filming and late nights and weekends of editing just so I could fit in a 90 sec ad? okay... Regarding the battery cycles, it really depends on how you use your phone, if you charge it to 80-90% and don't let it get below 30% your cycles will be better. But if you look at the actual usage you can clearly see the iPhone is collecting dust.

I am still getting used to the ios thing since I still have my older iphone 11 which was given to me as a gift w/c I also didn't use as much lmao. Also idk if it's just me but the 15 pro max is quite heavy to the hand especially with a case haha, not sure how it compares to the weight of 14pro max though I know that one is heavy too since my workmate has it and tried weighing it with my hand.

It's important we don't get ourselves caught in an OS war. I've certainly been guilty of that but have learned my lesson: they are just companies making a product. Feel free to buy whatever you like, whenever you like, and to change at will. We are just the customers. We are not the company or OS so we shouldn't squabble over who uses what or which is better.

Switch του whatever excites you the most to use for business or fun. I personally have an S 24 ultra for my work and an iPhone 15 pro for personal use. I think I will switch to something more pleasant. The thing is that I wouldn't say I like iOS 18 from what I saw. except for my mac, I will soon say goodbye to boredom I am thinking of something like a z flip I fancy it. Another great video sending greetings from Greece.

“Hi alex, I’m a university student and a huge Apple fan. All my friends have iPhones, and not having one has made me feel left out, avoided, and even bullied, as it's a status symbol here. Watching WWDC and seeing iOS 18 made me eager to join Apple, but I can’t afford an iPhone. Could you help me get any model, even the SE? I’m willing to trade my realme Narzo 50 Pro. Your support would mean a lot. Thank you!” please

😂 I did tell them beforehand, don’t think they cared. I was in central London to be fair so I am sure they’ve seen weirder things. And I share the sentiment sometimes, by the way, and discuss that in one of my next videos. I miss the simpler days of not being attached to a device

Waiting for 16 pro to see if it’ll be worth to upgrade from 13 pro max, given my use case. Honestly AI on my S23U is enough. AI on iPhones is not that different as of now i feel.

[@engx3733]

i had this phone a couple of months ago, the hardware side is really good, but sadly the software and operating system is utter trash coming from android. The camera was OK, But the random oversharpening and overall quality was sub-par for a 'flagship' phone. The worst thing tho was the operating system, it's just terrible, amaturish - Apple must sort out the download/airdrop system as it's utterly backwards and broken. They need to fix google drive implementation within the files app and fix the countless bugs and design quirks. As for the apps. Only a handful were decent - but some apps are watered down versions from there Android counterparts. The final nail in the apple coffin for me was AI. Us wise humans know it's just automated algorithms. As for the battery life, it was pretty decent - but at random times, certain apps would transform it to budget phone levels with around 6-7hrs of depletion. Sorry, but it's just not a flagship. The 'max' part of the name doesn't even hold truth as the pro has better processing power and the plus model has better battery. Apple MUST do better, fix there bugs, sort there stupid app store out by removing the clone, digital begging apps..Overall it's just a terrible experience with decent hardware.

[@AlexGTech]

I agree, the hardware is incredible. iOS needs a proper overhaul, not just cosmetic changes and AI...

In certain situations the iPhone is actually better and more intuitive. The Sony can be the best but you'd have to know the Pro settings intimately. The S24U can also take some incredible shots and even the S24 Plus at times can be better than all of these. I think it's hard to say one is better or worse, they are all incredible in their own ways
