iPhone 15 Pro Max - Day In The Life (Camera + Battery Test)

Welcome to a realistic day in the life with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I flew to Los Angeles for a work shoot and REALLY wanted to put this phone through its paces. I heavily tested the cameras, the battery and documented my 48 hours trip to showcase the real life use of the phone.
Over half of this video was shot using the iPhone 15 Pro Max in ProRES LOG. I used a rec709 conversion lut + color grade to achieve the stylized look as a final result.

You have such a unique content creation style that really matches all the shortform you've done. This just felt like a treat because its a longform version of what were all used to seeing from you. Im here for longform content Will 🔥

[@WillBowers]

that's always been a big goal of mine and im happy that the scaling up feels natural and seems to work. I appreciate the kind words from you man

[@WillBowers]

Had a lot of fun making this :) let me know if you want to see more content like this in the future! over half of the video was shot in ProRes LOG in the default camera app.

[@Zeks2high]

Impressive

[@Thelandingchannel]

Dude never fails to disappoint me or anyone, this intro left me speechless. The truth you speak in every video, you’re someone that actually takes this seriously ❤❤❤

[@WillBowers]

@@Thelandingchannel means the world to me to hear stuff like this. thank you

[@terrylafauci791]

I’m a fairly light user and my 15 pro max gets me from 5am to midnight with around 30-40% battery left. The weekends are a bit less forgiving on the battery because I have more time to use my phone but it still gets me through a day with no issues.

[@dunytheo2739]

what is the version of ios on your phone because I have ios 17.2.1 and the battery is dying as you can see nothing but I do a little tiktok or videos on the phone!

[@terrylafauci791]

@@dunytheo2739 I haven’t done the 17.2.1 update. I’m on 17.2 and the battery is fine. I’m at 90% right now and unplugged it at 8:40am, it’s 2pm here now. So it’s still great.

[@M.A.D.C.J]

Some of the coolest creators all in one video, your production is getting better and better Will, so proud of you and can’t wait to see you keep growing! ❤

Cool to see the life style youtube can provide.

[@Deathsead747]

I don't know which to admire more your excellent B-roll, framing, shots or the style of the video. Everything is so visually pleasing and edited beautifully. Keep it up!

[@WillBowers]

very very kind of you! Thank you so much :)

[@xanderburnette7963]

First time seeing your stuff. This is a great video man! Very talented. Extremely small time content creator here. Mainly just for friends and family. Any general tips? Looking to potentially make a career switch of some kind and foray into some sort of tech forward job

[@abdilkhairomar7847]

Nice brother. Btw whats your frame on your eyeglass

[@JHawk]

Fire video bro!!

[@WillBowers]

thank you brother, appreciate you for watching

Fire video as always. I see another Zelda fan with that morning hyrule field theme 👀 🔥

you know it ;)

[@renzsadiwa]

Dope video 🔥💯

[@WillBowers]

thanks my friend, appreciate you checking it out

[@JD-gx3ms]

I’m gonna get the pro max 16 when it comes out. I have the 12 pro max now. Had for three and a half years. Been a good phone.

[@chasiuu]

dude that intro was FIRE

[@WillBowers]

thank you homie I spent a lot of time on it LOL

[@smithstaa1988]

Ok so this is a really random question, what backpack were you using in this video? Not entirely sure of the brand. Looks very nice though! Stumbled onto the video through a recommendation on my homepage (very, very well made content. Shall be coming back) ❤️🧡💙

[@user-yd9tl3sl7v]

Happy 15 pro max user with battery life especially

[@julieeagle3]

Best phone ever!!

[@WillBowers]

I’m a BIG fan

[@dunytheo2739]

Very good video, I have ios 17.2.1 and my battery goes down a lot I find I do a lot of tiktok and some videos on my phone and in 30 minutes of tiktok I lose around 7 or 8 percent is this normal and what ios do you have?? THANKS

[@Lunitiq_YG]

What weather app is that on your phone

[@xXJeremykun34Xx]

What’s the name of your alarm sound on 01:17? I can’t find it on the alarm sound settings, and your day in the life video really shows us potential buyers how it’s like having the 15 Pro Max, (I have the 13 Pro Max currently 😅)

[@Christmas0197]

Should be called Departure, might only be on the new 15s

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

I agree that this is the first time the PRO name is warranted.

[@ItsOmarEdits]

And the 13s

[@abhinavgupta8307]

Nice video love from India ❤

[@WillBowers]

Thank you

[@vivekanandanbaskaran9877]

Please give the link of the phone case!! TIA ❤

[@swervenights]

sheeeesh

[@WillBowers]

had to cook a bit

[@Halloween6-6]

I don’t quite understand, the iPhone 15 pro has only the outer frame made of titanium?? And the bezel for the camera? Isn’t it also made of titanium 🤔

[@FuzzyTank215]

‘I bought a phone today, oh boy, With features that were interesting, And though the phone was rather pricey, Well I just had to buy it.’

[@mohammedalawwad7602]

Is it more useful to edit on ProRes Log rather than the regular ProRes?

[@WillBowers]

Yes! Log removes a lot of that “phone look” since it’s such a flat color profile. This means you can have full flexibility with color grading and produces a much better looking image if you know how to grade the footage

[@ankeshprasad9]

do you always use dark mode on your phone

[@WillBowers]

Nah light mode in the day usually, dark mode at night

[@puneethr4782]

I’m confused between 15 plus and 15 pro max …. I don’t have budget constraints…. But is it really worth going to pro max over 15plus

[@masonstewart9535]

Hi, I'm in exactly the same position but I'm most likely leaning towards the pro max mainly because I only upgrade every 3-4 years. So the extra features seem worthwhile!

[@puneethr4782]

@@masonstewart9535 I actually bought a 15plus and returned it for 15pro max …. There was nothing wrong with plus …. But I loved the zoom on pro max and pro max is really light weight this year..

[@TyIcenhour]

What app do you use for video editing?

[@WillBowers]

Final Cut Pro for everything

[@EDG3PC]

overheating issues?

[@WillBowers]

Only when under heavy load, which is typical from any flagship device imo. The bug that caused it in regular use was fixed a few updates ago :)

[@EDG3PC]

​@@WillBowersso no overheating when taking pics and videos or watching youtube and tiktok?

[@choqao]

Thanks, second by the way !

[@WillBowers]

thank you for watching :)

[@littlestar5737]

I am disappointed with iphone 15 pro max battery life. In 2023 it's unacceptable for the price.

[@Jarko4526]

It's because he was filming on the phone the whole day, the camera app takes a lot of battery. You could probably get through the whole day with still 20 percent left.
