iPhone 15 Buyer's Guide - DON'T BE FOOLED!

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are finally here I want to do a buyer's guide on both of these phones because while both phones now look the same there are actually still a lot of small differences between these phones that I think a lot of people might overlook like software differences between the 48 megapixel camera systems, USB-C port differences, different designs, and other feature differences you need to know about like which phone actually has the biggest battery inside of it.

Worked hard on this one - there were way more differences than I initially thought. I hope you find it informative and helpful in your purchasing decision!

[@saintkenny9296]

I do have 1 big question 🙋‍♀️. Why guys at Apple 🍎, regarding the iPhone Pro Max lineup we always get the lame side of color choices? No 🍏 , 🍊, or 🍎 in their pro choices? In the basics only. 😮 This makes me a very sad 🐼! 😢

[@giagin6186]

Enjoying so far! Would like to say @1:32 it would be great if you labelled each page pro vs pro max, it would also probably be better if you had side/side comparisons so we can actually compare the stats!

[@oluebubemgbemena3118]

Did you actually noticed the weigh difference??

[@rudybriskar5267]

No quandary for me. I have big hands and still type with one finger, hunt and peck. Also I buy phones for the cameras which is why I used Samsung Galaxy S series phones since the original Galaxy S thru the S21 Ultra. I bought a 13 Pro Max and after a week of use and watching numerous KZbin videos to learn how to use it I switched to the iPhone for my daily driver. I'm definitely going to upgrade to the 15 Pro Max! I'm just hoping to get a blue phone. I've always bought black phones and even though I keep it in a case I still want a blue phone for a change. I'm slightly disappointed with the 5x optical zoom instead of 6x but it's not a deal breaker for me. The periscope zoom lens has been available on Samsung Galaxy S series phones for years so I'm definitely excited that it's now available on the 15 Pro Max.

This was the clearest and best organized video I’ve seen about the new phones so far. I haven’t upgraded in over 3 years, so getting the 15 Pro (and I’ll probably sprint for the Max) is a big bump for me. I used to work for Apple, and would get the new phone every year, and would lose myself in the plethora of tech specs and nuances of the devices. You provided plenty of nuance, while never losing sight of the broad strokes that lie at the heart of this exciting decision. Thank you!

After seeing the supposed gaming capabilities of the A17 Pro (with hardware ray tracing and stuff alongside the announced AAA game ports), I’m actually more hyped on how the next generation iPad Pros with M3 are gonna perform. They’re probably gonna be absolute monsters.

[@GregsGadgets]

If Apple bought a big game studio they'd have such a good platform. Could have the same game running on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and think about it Apple could put the A17 Pro in an Apple TV box... a literal gaming console for like $200-$300.

I got a 12 pro max a few years ago, traded that in and got 1000 dollars credit for it. Just got the 15 pro max for 200 dollars. This is possibly the greatest out of box phone to exist. The features actually make this one feel like a genuine upgrade and worth the price they're asking for finally. I didn't own a 13 and 14 pro model so I wouldn't know if everything is new. But transfer speeds this high, charging is faster, pictures are better, the 120hz screen, little bit more ram to play around with now, this is nice.

I have been waiting on the iPhone 15 promax to come out since sometime last year I currently have the s21 ultra but it seems to be lagging in several areas for whatever reason even though I've done the updates? I haven't had an iPhone since the 11 pro Max so I expect to see substantial improvements. The main thing that made me buy an Android was always more zoom and although the 15 promax may not have as much as soon as I had hoped it has enough to make it worth buying. Your video was informative and helped reinforce my decision to purchase the promax. I have already ordered the case and screen protector 0 and charging block and will order the phone Saturday. Great video, you have a friend in Columbus Ohio :-)!

With as big a jump as you’re making, you might be just as satisfied with a 14 pro max, with a lower price tag! The 14 pro max is what I have right now.

I do enjoy gaming so future proofing for that was a plus. But i must be honest, it was a tough decision between the iphone 15 and 15 pro -- if i werent intending to keep this phone for at least 2 years and werent so bothered about the screen feature, then i would have got the iphone 15. I was able to preorder the pro but there is part of me still thinking to get the regular 15... is that extra £200 really worth it for the screen, the camera, and the build

I wish the base models has the pro motion too, even just 90hz it would make a big change. I might pass on this one again or maybe I could get the pro one if my wallet permits 😅

[@pusico6555]

$200 samsung already have 120Hz lol Apple is so stingy and greedy. They're afraid if they gave pro motion in bade model people wouldn't buy the pro

[@andyg.1070]

All I care about is the screen size (never had a max camera) and the camera. I am frequently at national parks etc., and traveling internationally. I currently have an iPhone 13 Pro. It will be interesting to see what I will get for a trade-in to upgrade.

[@MM-sy6yp]

A polished presentation.

[@Mailman2-1Actual]

The way greedent taunted you too. It’s so satisfying when you end up winning after being taunted.

[@ashishkandpal7107]

Awesome video . In India the prices are on the extreme end for pro models . I am eyeing for 15 plus .....dynamic island ..better cam and USB charging . Guess I should be safe for another 3-4 years .

[@Bergen67367]

I am on XR. Thinking to pick 15 plus too for just battery backup as my XR gone way too bad these days.

[@emmamusinguzi9430]

I’ve got 8plus and very excited to upgrade to 15 pro max 🤩but I’ll wait to watch a few reviews first 😊

[@bluefire10169]

I had a 6s until I finally upgraded to a 13pro

[@Akutukananu]

I had a 6s plus a few years back and upgraded to the iPhone 11. I think I'll wait for the iPhone 15 to show its bugs first before I buy lol 😆

[@mccoyAB]

I went through the same as you. Took me a bit getting use to 15 not having a home button anymore😅😂

[@carladelgado7812]

I still have it too! Camera no longer works, can’t connect to wifi (been 2 years lol), and the silent on/off button recently broke (my phone is permanently on silent). I’m still deciding to get an iPhone 15 Plus or the Samsung Galaxy 24 Ultra!

[@mccoyAB]

@@carladelgado7812 when my silent on/off button broke on my 8plus I set up the Assistive Touch function to use it again

[@devinamala5080]

I am currently using an iphone 8 plus 64gb but i am going to upgrade to a blye 15 pro 128gb this month, and it will be a huge upgrade. I lokked at it at the apple store and it was insanely quic with a great camera. loving the dynamic island

[@MrKreqq]

Great Video!

[@mcmakers8850]

I’ve got an XR with a mangled lightning port. My first ever cracked screen(this genuinely hurt me.) Lots of purple/dark blue spots on the display. Surprisingly my battery is still going strong. Been saying for years I’m going to switch once they turned over to USB-C. Glad I waited wish the Pro had that deep green of the 13(?) but I’ll settle for the blue.

[@alisiashipman4632]

same with my 11 right now parts of the screen are blacked out, only top left is cracked have colorful lines going all over battery still working and am still able to use if I know what buttons im pushing

[@87Givenchy]

iPhone 15 and 15 Plus looks way more appealing this year than last. What’s up with these dreadfully boring colors on the Pro’s??? It’s almost like Apple wants us (the consumers) to buy the 15 and not the Pro’s. I guess they figure they’re more likely to sell higher quantities of the “cheaper” iPhone. Apple, please make the Pro color-way more enticing next year for 16 please!

[@sls4170]

Exactly right! That’s why I got the regular 15. First reason was because I wanted to downsize from a 13 pro max. Too big and heavy but the pink color definitely drew me instantly. Those other colors on the other ones are depressing and droopy looking.

[@Fabulousfreak189]

I’m the opposite! I’m mad tjay the base model 15 doesn’t have a neutral color because I do not like a colored phone. It matches less cases and am upset the 15 does not have a white color

[@ariahjade3326]

The pro is considered the elite, the professional. The colors reflect that. Elite and rainbows don’t go hand in hand.

[@davidw.2994]

Good video! Are you have had any of the overheating issues on the iPhone 15 models that people are talking about on social media?

[@appsinc.9600]

I think the better question is should you even upgrade? Does slight camera upgrades, 1 GPU core, dynamic island, 24 added pixels, USB-C (the only thing it seemingly has going for it) which is an industrial standard across all other phones and about 1 hour of more battery life which is probably not a constant. For context I have an iPhone 13 and the camera is better but mines just fine for what I need to use it for. I can't justify paying 900$ (iPhone 15 256gb) for a better camera and usb-c. Not to mention the Titanuim (actually 60% heavier than aluminum and their marketing says its lighter? the iPhone 15 is lighter without titanium.. I think Apple really missed a mark on this one and basically, once again, upgraded a camera and gave us USB-C. Please share your thoughts. Much appreciated and thank you for the video.

[@thejmaurelli]

I am allowing myself to be reborn into the Apple ecosystem, as this will be my first iPhone purchase in almost 15 years. This video helped me decide between the 15 or the 15 pro. I'm getting the 15.

[@kartikeysharma9164]

why? Even I am getting my first iPhone and I am learning a bit towards 15 pro mainly because of the natural titanium color. What do you feel? Just looking for some blunt opinions

[@qubio2908]

Upgrading from a 13mini, was also thinking about getting the 15 pro, but instead decided to get the 15 Base with 256gb. I dont like the action button, would love to get the better Performance but I dont really need it. I wont play AAA titles on there anyways, have an ROG Ally for mobile use. Also, 15 256gb was way cheaper in my country compared to the 15 Pro 256GB

[@Fabulousfreak189]

I agree! I don’t like the action button (the only thing I’d use is the flashlight, I think). I think I’ll be going with the 15 too

[@qubio2908]

After a month of using the 15 (256gb version) I gotta say that getting it was the best thing I could have done. 256gb just gives me enough room to install everything that I ever need and also allows me to make lil videos and more pictures than I could ever ask for. The Mute-Switch is still my fav.

[@Fabulousfreak189]

I also really like the mute switch. I think the new action button Is silly. It isn't in a reachable place so I don't see people using it often. Easier to just swipe on the screen. I will be going with the 15 too :) @@qubio2908

[@Ok_HelloThere]

Ok, I'm starting to think that buying the iPhone 15 base model might be the best option right now as the 15 Pro is maybe a little bit experimental (3nm processor, action button, etc). Also as I was thinking of getting the 256 GB upgrade. I kindof do want to get the pro model for the better display, better processor, and whatever else there was but at the same time I could buy the 15 right now and wait for the 17 Pro or something.

[@sawyer303]

I don't get it, if you split the difference in 2 years per month, it's not that much, here the difference between 15 and 15 pro 256 is 270$, that's 11$ per month for 2 years. I won't get rich if I would save them, so I see no point, I will get the best there is since I'll have that phone for 2 years, not for 2 months. For me that is 15 Pro, I don't like Pro Max, too big, I'm used to 13 Mini

[@Ok_HelloThere]

@@sawyer303 You make a good point. I do have couple other reasons too for this way of thinking. I use my phone quite much for background sounds and the 15 pro somehow has worse audioplayback time at 75 hours compared to the base 15 at 80 hours, that might not seem like much, but I think I should take that into consideration too.

[@obs4life228]

Doesn’t matter how much the difference is. Carriers will still give pretty much same value for trade in when they throw up deals

[@grantwilcox330]

playing it safe got a the 1TB size iPhone Pro Max. Definitely excited this year for the iPhones coming out for some reason.

[@maddiesharp7440]

Helpful!! Thanks :)

[@barbnd1512]

I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy a new phone or not. I have a iPhone 12 right now that I'm happy with, but I like the 15 pro with the lighter weight due to the titanium case. Also I like the new side button and ability to use it for turning off an on other items. I think I will trade in my 12, can get up to $250 off bringing the 999 down to $749 not including taxes. Thanks for the information, was very helpful.

[@TheEmrickman]

I think the base iPhone 15 is even lighter.

[@shockjay]

Just bought a 15 Pro today and I can concur on the hot battery during the initial setup. I've already turned off StandBy mode to combat the battery usage.

[@mshahriar100]

How is the phone running now?

@@mshahriar100 Great!

[@mshahriar100]

@@shockjay is there any other heating problem tho?

There are a few instances where the phone will stop charging at 80% but nothing major.

Very informative

[@jondecker7941]

I wasn’t planning on buying a iPhone this year. I don’t need to buy one this year but that 3nm chip! 😮🤯🙀

[@nvm183]

I think next year they should release just one iPhone which has almost everything from today's pro models with a 6.3 inch 120hz display and dynamic island and 64mp camera.And price it at $1000 or 1100. I think that would create a huge onboarding of even Android users as well as people upgrading from existing iPhones. Then release 2 models the following year which have significantly more hardware features.

[@sawyer303]

Why would the loose clients and money? There are people that want cheaper models and people that want the expensive ones, this way everyone is happy

[@jimbeam4111]

Exactly

[@jenniferstewart1330]

Not everyone needs the features others need. I got the pro model last time, and this time I got the base model. Why? Cause I don’t utilize all the features that are offered. I just need a phone that takes great pics, good battery life and has enough memory. I’d rather invest in storage than other features

[@Artofcarissa]

Sucks that the color matching cables turned out to be not true
