I think it would be cool to see a “is it worth upgrading” type video. Where you compare the 15/15pro against previous generations of iPhone to see how many improvements have been made.

[@Tsunami0950]

I've been holdin' onto an 8 Plus since 2017, plan to upgrade this year - at least for me, "worthiness" in terms of an upgrade comes from whether or not my current device fulfills my needs anymore. Don't replace what ain't broke. Unfortunately, this year might be the year it does lol.

Each time I have felt compelled to get the max because otherwise I’m leaving better features on the table when I would much rather have a phone that actually fits in my hand. There’s a reason I have an iPad. Maybe they could put a really awesome camera and those cool features that need a larger form factor in the iPad?

[@damienlobb85]

it's still the same 48MP sensor from last year, (Apple makes no mention of new sensor on the specs page, even mentioning it uses 2nd gen sensor shift tech. So those extra zoom levels past 2x aren't going to be very artifact-free... Despite what Apple might claim, even Marques has been critical of the artifacting with Samsung and others, so I would hope he holds similar opinions of software trickery on Apple's devices too, despite meeting Tim Cook.)

Glad you mentioned the odd action button UI. I'm confused why they went with that 3D with floating icons approach instead of a normal list like every other setting. That would let you see all the available options at a glance instead of having to scroll through them. Apple is usually pretty good when it comes to UI cohesiveness so it definitely feels out of place and "stapled on" like you described.

@@jasonsims007 I'm not so sure about that. The 3d view almost certainly required more design and dev effort than a standard list of options like when choosing what app to open. But imo it was more work for an inferior user experience which is strange given Apple's pretty solid UX track record.

​@@youngattorney3722 As a hard user of smartphones (and as a brazillian, trust me when i say this plays a heavy role to changing and therefore buying a new iphone because here the apple produtcs are really expensive) i always verify some points, which i will share with you hoping it can help: 1. Do i have the money to buy this or i will have to use credits and other means of payment that maybe will compromise my financial planning? 2. Do i mortally need any of the upgrades otherwise my job will be compromised significantly? 3. Is the upgrades worth the money or im just being manipulated by some sort of social engeneering or marketing technique to feel the need to buy? (my opinion is that mostly none of the upgrades of one generation are worth, like Iphone xs to 11, especially the 14 to 15, when the biggest modification is the USB-C, whilst the cameras are pretty much the same) 4. This point is not a question to self ask but i believe that if you have a practical need it will probably show up itself, in a way that you can't ignore. If i have the means to pay and not compromise my plans, the upgrades are indeed useful for me and for my job and the upgrade is worth, i think you should change your phone. On the otherhand, if any of these questions is a "no", i wouldn't change the phone. Ps:. This points probably will not make any sense if you're rich or an apple enthusiast and the expense with a new phone is irrelevant. Ps2: If you have the money, i think in your case it's worth upgrading for a 14 pro series with dynamic island and the 48MP sensor and other features, it's awesome. Hope it helps, brother! =)

[@VinylGourmetTV]

One of the major questions with the 15 Pro Max and how it differs from previous generation iPhones e the way the new 5x zoom lens affects Portrait Mode, not just the image quality itself, but the usability and practicality aspects of dealing with such a large zoom increase (from previous 3x zoom). I use 3x Portrait Mode a lot, this is in fact the main factor to make me decide on an upgrade to the latest iPhone or not... I'm really concerned that the 120mm 5x zoom will make it very difficult to use Portrait Mode in several scenarios. So, if you can make a review very much focused in comparing Portrait Mode on the new 15 Pro Max and previous generations, specifically at 3x and 5x zoom and how different approaches and strategies are necessary to shoot the same subjects with these different zoom ranges, it would be really useful.

[@tobiasteichmann5882]

I got a pixel 7 pro with 5x zoom and portrait shots are a bit difficult to shoot cause of that. But somehow it works if you are prepared

[@TheFPSPower]

I also use the 3x a lot for portraits with my S22 and wouldn't trade it for any other zoom, I think Samsung makes the right recision with the Ultra by keeping the 3x with the 10x. My guess is next year Apple will release the 16 Pro Max with 4 cameras to fix that.

I think the usability of the action button would be much better if a triple or double tap was recognized. I come from a One Plus device where "shortcuts" for various actions are already a great convenience. For example, it only ever takes milliseconds to activate the flashlight or the camera. So it would be great if even more action button functions could be customized. For example skipping songs or calling a fav. contact. But since it's Apple, they will also find a way to sell this "premium" feature....

[@DimitrisSartzetakis]

You can both skip songs and call anyone using shortcuts which can be assigned to the action button. Shortcuts can do pretty much anything

I wonder what it feels like. Just being able to review and sometimes keep new tech. Must be a dream.

[@fiatmultiplaa]

Remember when bro didnt want to do iPhone reviews

[@Wiggywatup]

Would be interesting to hear at what level iPhone this would be a good upgrade. A lot of reviews compare it to only the last gen iPhone where there is only minimal changes. But most people don't upgrade after a year. I got a 12 pro max and felt this was a great time to upgrade as it has a lot more features than I currently have. Feels like the final form since the 12 was released with this design.

[@MegaKirb]

I think coming from a 5s is a good enough upgrade

[@ChrisWEarly]

I have an 8plus so I’m going with either 15 or 14. Probably 15 cause of the port

[@richmondyayarea]

@@ChrisWEarlyif you’re keeping your phones for that long, you might as well get the 15 Pro

[@FreakoBeatz843]

I would say 12 or older

[@ssgoku022002]

Also coming from the 12pro max

[@AphonicRoar]

Along with a double and triple press on the action button I would love to see accelerometer gestures that can be mapped. That was my favorite feature of Motorola phones. So handy to shake or twist for a function

Yes! I loved launching my camera that way back then :')

[@xenimaging]

Back in the day I had a moto G and loved the double twist camera gesture followed by the satisfying haptic feedback. It was also a perfectly small size and featured an AMOLED always on display. This was like 10 years ago

[@austingandy2650]

You can map tapping the back of the phone to a shortcut actually

[@ferryhmm]

@@austingandy2650 I hope it works a lot more reliably on the newer phones, I never could get it to properly work on my iPhone 11. It's unusable.

[@0SIGMA]

I ordered Dbrand Ghost for 15 pro max with the trust in you Marques

[@Amacherasu]

That shade of brown is aesthetically pleasing

[@muhammadhuzaifaazam]

Would really love to see the sensor crop zoom options, the 5X telephoto zoom and how it stacks up with the best zoom phones, the new sensors compare with Samsung, the processor speeds and stuff with the M1 iPad or the Mac Air. How does the two chips compare? Can ya cover all of these please?

[@kailim756]

Great review thanks Marques! Are the camera bumps this year noticeably bigger or smaller then last year?

[@user-fo6jv5vh1f]

Love this style

[@Pdhsayeed]

No doubt you are a best KZbinr.❤

[@rabtecho]

Finally I can use one cable for everything! 🙌 Otherwise it's not a big upgrade on the pro models. Great video as always! 💯

[@joelconolly5574]

Funnily I do think the 1x to 1.3x and 1.5x to be pretty useful. Sometimes I just do a small zoom on people just to have a camera like shots on them. And it's barely reaches 2x. Those mode is kinda useful to me. I do like 5x more. I zoom on people a lot from afar. The Max will definitely be on my bucket list. Or when the 16 Pro gets the 5x too 😂.

[@imdadulhuq3116]

I have been buying my phones based on your recommendation since 2015. Will buy another one end of this year.

[@frankmaza135]

Yo, the 4d tune at the end of the video got me !

[@koalaunknown]

I would love to see a battery comparison between this years pros and previous years.

[@fueledbyregret]

Would be great to see some nighttime photography (portraits and bar shots) as well as night sky / star photography for the 15 Pro. I love taking night shots on my 13 Pro, which was a big improvement on my iPhone XR, but there’s a lot of room for improvement.

[@jude7225]

I was wondering the same.....I've had my XR for what seems like forever now and am finally gonna upgrade to the 15 and can't wait to see how pics come out.

[@CH_eatthesand]

I had my 12 Pro Max, then 13 Pro Max - and the 13PM did better with astro (which seeing how much of the 13 Pro's camera improved over the 12 Pro Max, biggest reason why I upgraded after 1 year) - that said I saw nary improvements with last year's iPhone 14 Pro line, and maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised with these new Pro models. All that aside, I find the lack of a true dedicated astro mode from Apple to be a bit of slack on Apple's part, and maybe one day we'll see it happen. As for reviews, astrophotography reviews are typically reserved to specialist photographers and general consumers. There's a KZbinr here - Shayne Mostyn - who reviews smartphone astro capabilities on his farm in Australia. You can also find astro photos posted by people on the iPhoneography subreddit from time to time.

The reason for Lightning iPhone receiving power, is because Lightning is a client/slave only connector. The USB-C end is host mode only, so it will usually always charge it. On USB-C, at least on Android, you can choose to switch the connection, which will switch between host and slave mode to choose which device is charged.

[@sennaricky]

So what about when both iPhones have a similar charge? Which one will charge the other after the handshake?

[@rodgersowoko]

Very interested in seeing how the battery life is for 15 pro in your full review compared to Iphone 14 Pro

[@JonnyD3ath]

It’s gonna be the same

[@Charlie-ck7et]

The iPhone 14 pro battery isn't good at all. I had mine for less than a year and its health is 87%. A lot of people have been saying the same thing.

[@giannicarandang]

I really want to see a comparison between the Pro Max zoom and the S23 Ultra zoom. Since moving to Apple that is the thing I miss the most. iOS 17 corrected most of the other shortcomings.

[@irtiza4262]

Its gonna be the same as its always been The iphone will be better from 3x-10x when samsung's 10x camera wont activate, then samsung will be better after 10x after its 10x zoom camera has activated You can count on it

[@ciuvarioan7445]

Iphone 15 Pro Max isn't even close to S23 Ultra zoom. Samsung has a REAL zooming sensor not just a ,,magic" software crop!

[@irtiza4262]

@ciuvarioan7445 please get tour facts correct iPhone will be better before you hit 10x zoom Samsung will be better AFTER you hit 10x zoom

[@MiDnYTe25]

​@@ciuvarioan7445i15pm has 5x optical zoom, s23u has 10x. That's the closest it's ever been

[@Biobeatboxmusic]

​@@ciuvarioan7445idk the tetraprism sensor seems pretty sick for the higher zoom. Obviously Samsung has mastered the telephoto, but most people don't use that function outside of taking pictures of the moon.

[@yisroel5556]

Thank you man for video!! I already got the iPhone 15 plus and I’d be interested in knowing if it’s truly better than the 14s and 15 base models. Can you do a video about the differences between 14 pro max and 15s? I’d really appreciate it!! 😁

[@simyk810]

iPhone 15 all the way. For a while now I have been buying old pro versions years after their release, and this has served me well. For the first time I am going to buy a brand new iPhone 15 because of the USB C port, its shelf life and resale value. I currently have a Samsung S10+ but I also use a MacBook Air M1 which has a capped refresh rate of 60hz. For most people, these so called pro features don't really matter and go unnoticed.

[@N0N0111]
