I really liked your video comparison. There were a few things I noticed regarding terminology. When you talked about the strange options, you referred to it as RAM. For the charging speeds, they were labeled as Lightning vs. USB-C. That one is a bit more understandable, but I probably would have done USB 2 vs USB 3 since both phone models have USB-C.

[@kevinschmidt9482]

[@tornadoman25]

@@RB-rk8nm I know you initially asked the main comment (so my bad just in case lol), but for my personal experience it’s been great. Tbh it feels the same it’s just no 120hz but I think my eyes got used to 60 again because it still looks really smooth. I have had a habit of scrolling a little slower and that kind of makes it look smoother (weird I know). The telephoto isn’t missed as much tbh cause the higher resolution sensor makes digital zooms (x10) actually useable. Used it at a concert and the videos look good tbh. That’s about it, and tbh even the feel of the aluminum and the way they coated the titanium on the pro phones feels literally the same to me.

[@honest2god322]

the battery on my new 15 pro max, even when people said it was lower when the phone is newer, is absolutely mind-boggling to me. coming from a XR this is such a huge upgrade to have an all-day phone, combined with the awesome cameras and huge screen, this phone is a win for me. even if it's not such a huge improvement over the 14 pro max.

My 15 pro max hasn’t heated up at all. I don’t use instagram and haven’t used Uber since getting it. I also turn off always on display and don’t allow lots of apps the run in the background or give me notifications. My phone has been good so far. The updates from my 13 PM is more lots of little things like louder speakers, brighter screen, better night time shots. I’m sure other benefits will appear over time with using it and also iOS tweaking/updates.

No

[@ArtsyTwilette]

[@haruyanto8085]

Same here, and I am used to 120hz for years and game usually on 144hz, for bigger screens like TV and monitors it's a huge difference but on phones where 90% of the time you're either on social media looking at still images or watching youtube which is capped at 60fps, you will not care.

[@Das_Germaican]

@@haruyanto8085 thank you. For what I use my phone for, 60Hz is fine. I’ve had the ultra and the pro max, just didn’t justify the extra cost.

[@citizentex5720]

Absolutely true. You don’t. Notice after a day or two. I use my 14PM in 60hz mode and get insane battery life.

[@AxemanMessiah]

Without zoom the Plus has equally great photos and even the Pro Max goes to 60hz in low battery mode. With the same speaker quality and display while giving 2 extra hours battery life (not to mention the always on display also consumes battery, albeit little). It is now no longer a superior or inferior phone to the Pro Max, a matter of preference. I love light phones and 201 vs 221g is a noticeable difference, as the weight is something you will feel using and not using (in pockets). I'm going for the 15 Plus money being no object, and would only go for the Pro Max if I used the Pro features (transfer speed, heavy zoom shots, the extra space), etc. The phone is reached the point of minimal updates for the everyday consumer, so I hope to use this phone for the next 4-5 years. The next evolution will be folding phones, which Samsung has paved but not perfected yet.

[@ADPeguero]

I hope the lower heat dissipation of titanium won't degrade the battery faster than previous models. I hope Apple won't throttle the CPU in order to handle this via a software update as well.

[@jx8960]

Wouldn’t it be a lawsuit if they do?

[@ADPeguero]

@@jx8960I would think so. They had received a class action lawsuit for throttling in the past where they've been paying out in since August. So, I would sure hope they don't try that again. If it's discovered the issue is with the design and they come up with a fix then the best thing they could do is just recall these iPhones and apply their solution. Or replace the battery if it hits like 90% life in under a year or something like that. Only time will tell.

[@alphagodvon]

They will. That’s the only way to fix the issue

Thanks this was very helpful 👍🏽

[@stonans]

The regular 15/15 Plus are great upgrades relative to last gen models and how they fared against their predecessors. But the lack of high refresh screen is just crazy. It is really a shame how a word PRO gets dragged through the mud. High refresh screen is not a pro feature and neither is always-on display or action button. Details matter and it is for an average consumer misleading at best. Call it differently but don't use a word PRO in the name. Or do really differentiate the phones by PRO-level features.

[@irfannurilman3749]

apple is just a tired company, i guess.

[@Prithvi.limbu.creations]

Thank you, quick question - can we take a portrait video in 15 plus?

[@eaglessixersfankeepingitre3247]

Where the iPhone 15 Pro Max is concerned it is “ Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it “ 90% of the time this dictates my purchases depending upon what the purchase item is, and how much I value it. I will have this 15 Pro Max until Apple releases a flip or folding phone, and that could be for some time so this purchase is for the long haul.

If you spec both the Plus and Pro Max out at 256gb, it's a $200 difference. Also you have to pay an addition $30 for the Plus if you don't buy it activated on a carrier which you don't have to on the Pro Max.

Those 5x portraits are nice. $300 would be very cheap for a 120mm lens, so that’s one way to think about it.

I do feel that the standard 15s got a lot more improvements relative to the 14s last year. The Pro models not so much. The standard Pro has nothing extra of note and, although the Pro Max has the x5 zoom, it is not well implemented. The range just below x5 suffers and, honestly, I am still EXTREMELY disappointed with Apple for not catching up with zoom capabilities that Samsung has had for years.

@trichi827 You're not wrong here. I said it that way because the N3B node doesn't have anywhere to go off from it, unlike the N3E, which has been said to be as such.

[@cestjane2260]

Almost got the Plus, and I would recommend it for the average user. Got the Pro Max, though, mainly because of the camera. And I would’ve upgrade the Plus to 256. I also tend keep my phones for a long time.

[@Mmacrossfirekenai]

The 15 Plus can make more sense compared to the 14 Plus, which was an all-time embarrassment. Because the 15 Pro has a lot less battery (compared to the 15 Pro Max) and is not the no-doubter compared to the 15 Plus that the 14 Pro was to the 14 Plus.

[@nimrodhawk4011]

256GB of RAM you say? Well, that's quite a jump.

[@rishabhsoni2111]

@maxTechOfficial sir, at 5:40 minute (i guess 15 PLUS also have USB -C rather than Lightning)😅

[@mihakramberger9733]

I upgraded from 11 pro to 15 pro and... honestly 11 pro still looks and feels more premium to me. If it wouldn't have cracked screen and camera lens, I would never upgrade. Not to mention 11 pro battery still holds longer than brand new 15 pro. Yes camera is a lot better but .... mixed feelings so far.

[@BoywithLoveeee]

I’m in this situation right now although my phone doesn’t have any cracks (no screen protector) the phone looks stunning even after four years. My only issue is that the battery life is at 73% so I have to constantly change it especially when I’m playing mobile games. Other than that I’m still debating if I should get the new phone or keep my 11 pro max especially I love the green color)

[@thabeast449]

keep ur pro max and upgrade next year @@BoywithLoveeee

[@mihakramberger9733]

@genesisloveless1 Idk how it's possible but my phone even after 4 years says 100% battery life. But I never used it for gaming or any other battery intensive software.

[@PfropfNo1]

@@BoywithLoveeee I was going to upgrade from iPhone Xr to 15 pro. I got hesitant after I heard about battery life and heat issues and then got a 2nd hand iphone 13 pro. Camera improved massively each generation from iphone 10 to 13 but since then it were only minor improvements. The 13 pro costed me exaclty half compared to a new 15 pro but the improvements from my previous phone to 13 pro are definitely larger than from 13 pro to 15 pro. The phones lose most of their value in first 1-2 years, which means i expect to sell it in 1-2 years for almost the same price as i got it for. Just a reminder that 2nd hand might be an option.

[@bespiller8221]

Mate... your 11 pro does not have better battery than a brand new 15 Pro... come on hahah

[@kyukuro]

I have the iphone 15 plus for a week and I can guarantee it's really good for the buck especially the black matte colour! The battery life is amazing and I love the big screen. It's worth it for once

[@NathanBlackmen]

I want to choose the plus but I have a favour

[@JayAve24]

I totally agree. I have the same phone and I must say, it’s a good buy regardless if it does not have the promotion display.

[@keebz75]

@@JayAve24 Which is actually what?

[@JayAve24]

@@keebz75 are you referring to pro motion display? If so, it’s apples way of saying 120hz display.

[@warrenmcclure7819]

Bought my 15 plus cus it was all I could get. Thinking that I may not like it too much at first due to no tele lens and no promotion but honestly I'm real happy with it. Totally worth the money

[@khayreecaraway27]

Same here

[@DennisGr]

why? were you short the 300 bucks or what's the reason?

[@warrenmcclure7819]

@@DennisGr that’s part of the reason, also when comparing it to the 15 plus there’s only three main differences that I’d care for which is 8GB ram, cameras, 120hz display. Tbh the 15 plus is a great phone and I’m happy I bought it

[@danieldickerson4838]

That minimum focus distance on the Pro is bad, Apple really needs to fix that on next year’s model.

[@Bosskelley]

The fact that we comparing a plus to a pro phone shows you how good this years iPhone are. The pro phone always supposed to have something I’ve the lower phones if I didn’t th market would crash.

[@Earl1403]

I got the 15 plus for battery life and display size, and weight.. but… I really regret it! I came from 13 pro max, I miss 120hz promotion and a 3x/5x telephoto lense, also the speakers are better on pro max! Battery is excellent on the 15 plus, like absolutely insane, and it’s a great phone, but its definitely just a larger 15 standard

[@tmmehedi]

This year 15 plus will be the best choice 👌

[@Jade-tf5kb]

I brought the iPhone 15 plus I went from the 11 mini it was a choice between the 15 plus or 15max however I went with the plus because I have an Apple Watch so I don’t need the always on display. The refresh rate and third camera wasn’t worth £300 if I want to watch something like a film I will use my TV or iPad Pro

[@kevinclws]

Apple may have stopped selling the 14 pro, but every cellular carrier has them at a discount, with same CPU as the 15 non-pro, but has all the pro features. Please compare 14pro with 15, since they have the same cameras & CPU

[@graxxor]

At 5:42 you show the 15 plus charging via Lightning Port. Are you sure about that?

[@lanzcuaresma]

RAM? or ROM?

[@mdha86]

Is the 15 plus speakers louder than 14 plus?

[@Epicgamer_Mac]

Great video guys! How about thermal pad performance tests with M2 MBA 15” and M2 Max MBP 14”? Also iPhone 15PM with Razer cooler?

[@xDJaack]

I still think that the base iPhones should have 90hz screen at least and then maybe put a 144hz or 165hz screen pro motion on the pro models, still a big difference but that you're still getting a smooth premium feeling screen on a $800 phone. I just feel this shouldn't stil be 60hz on any phone at this price range and I think that if Samsung did this with the base S24 series, there would be a massive outcry of angry samsung users. But they'll keep getting away with it because people buy them so loyally.

[@andrew19971312]

I use my phone for gaming (pubg). Which one should I buy. On pubg pro models give 90fps. The basic models are on 60. But, the battery on the plus (positive) and the thermal issues on pro max (negative) are making hard the decision.

[@davidbell4949]

I have 14plus and it’s still worth a lot on trade in. May get 15 plus for camera and island. Also I tried in shop and it’s so much easier to hold
