iPhone 15 Pro Max Honest Review | A long term user perspective

[@mikebiasin1533]

I love my 15 Pro Max. I had a regular 11 for 4 years and it was awesome, but when I got the 15PM in April, what a difference. Brighter screen (which for a legally blind guy that's huge), better battery life, more storage. You can't beat it. With all the hype about the 16s coming out, I'm glad you're still doing videos about the 15PM. Great device.

[@forneverarrow]

I have the 15 Pro max since the last February. Overall great experience (it’s Apple’s best phone after all). The cameras are really impressive (compared to my last iPhone 12 mini), it’s plenty fast, the 256gb entry storage is legit and the screen looks amazing. Not to mention the battery life: 2-3 days for my usage. My only issue is the color coating on the Titanium sides! I have the black Titanium version and, color wise, I love the dark tone (it reminds me my all time favorite black iPhone 5) but I can’t touch the thing without having serious color smudges that needs a wet tissue to clean! It even takes marks around the openings of my case… because I am very obsessed with the clean look of my devices I literally need to clean the phone every single day with a wet tissue! I had never such an issue with any phone before (my 12 mini and the 8 before that had never fingerprints on the aluminum sides even with sweaty hands during my exercises). I hope Apple will fix the coating in the next iterations.

[@leoagbayani5304]

Sane here, iPhone 15 Pro Max is my first ever Pro phone, and as per my experience with thos phone, far so good👍🏻

[@jkecollins]

I have to charge mine twice a day ugh. 13PM was top tier.

[@Advaitabeyondnothing]

It’s all great with 15 pro max but only concern I had was battery health dropping so badly and yes it does make me nervous, overall even after 16pro max coming this year I’m not convinced to go for it!

[@crystalromo1788]

I love my iPhone 15 pro max just bought mine last week no need to upgrade your iPhone every year iPhones do the same thing every year they add new features every year and say it’s new apple needs to come harder with there phones I keep a case and temper glass on my phone I ever have camera protection on my phone

[@tevinmurphy2850]

Awesome video! I've had an awesome experience with my 15 PM in natural titanium, running iOS 18.1 Beta 2, and I’ve had minimal bugs apart from the battery drain, but coming from a regular 13, this is a huge upgrade as I get an average of 6-7 hours of on-screen time as a heavy user. I would recommend anyone who has the ability to set the charge limit in the battery settings to do so. Mine is set to 80% Maximum charge to preserve the battery over time and also to not let it run below 25% battery. I was worried that the size of the max would negatively affect how I use the phone over time, but I've gotten so used to it, my wife's 14 feels like a little toy phone. Once you go max, I think it'll be hard to go back to a regular-sized model.

[@EasyBreezy41]

I'm upgrading to either 15 Pro Max or 16 Pro from a 13 Pro. I just want a bigger phone, and it's interesting that the 16 Pro is now a bigger phone and thinner bezels, but probably still gonna go with the 15 Pro.

[@EthanCarey-p8k]

I had to wait over a year to find a deal ($900, 256gb pro max, 100% battery) on an international physical sim equipped version because i switch phones almost daily. Shame on apple for not taking my money. I refuse to be walled in to their exclusive garden but i do enjoy their hardware. Hoping it's as impressive as when i got the 13 pro. That phone still takes amazing pictures (not quite as good as the best but given its age?!) and video.

I got the 15 pro about a month ago only bc I had lost my 14pro and was due for an update anyways. I don’t regret it at all. I wanted to wait for the 16 but I’m happy with my choice. Specially running 18.1 beta 2. When I went in store I went with the mind to get the jet black one bc it reminded me of the jet black iPhone 7. But they only had the blue. It’s actually nice and I’m glad I went with that choice. This phone has given me no types of issues. I love it and I’ll probably upgrade when the 17 comes out bc I’ll be done paying this off anyways.

@@AndrewClare I upgrade my phone every year, so I’m hoping we see a 2TB version soon. My current phone is in pristine condition; I always use a case and a screen protector. I typically buy the Apple® silicone case, though it doesn’t hold up very well. When I purchase a new phone, I usually get around five cases to rotate as they wear out. I wasn’t aware that Apple would replace them for free. While I understand choosing not to use a case for aesthetic reasons, why not at least use a screen protector?

I have always loved the 6.1” form factor for comfort in the hand, but I’ll be upgrading to the 16 Pro Max.
