What do you think of iPhone 15 Pro Max? 👇🏽🤔

[@anidkhan569]

Should ibuy iphone 14 pro max or 15 pro max please answer bro❤❤

[@jasoncarpio1210]

iphone 15 pro max 👍

[@0SIGMA]

Best phone ever... but also can consider S23U cus it also matches

[@madmastac6998]

Thinking about upgrading

[@trumpameri1638]

​@@anidkhan56915 of course because he is future prove.. action button , usb c , light weight ..

[@rc2257]

From the title, I was hoping you'd talk more about your experience using and living with this phone for the past two weeks. Instead, the vast majority of this video's content could have come out two weeks ago, with the initial batch of video reviews that included the same information about the cameras, the titanium frame, USB, and specs. That said, this video like all of your videos is nicely put together, and your casual style of talking combined with being very articulate and well-organized is always a pleasure.

[@ItsBrysonJ]

Considering switching from the samsung galaxy s21 to the iPhone 15 pro max in Titanium Blue for Christmas can't wait. This will be my first iphone so excited to join the apple walled garden.

[@TerrenRule]

I think you'll really like it! Hopefully you snag one

[@katinasoutherland7693]

You’re going to absolutely love how everything just goes together perfectly

[@JefJau]

Watched maybe 70 videos already re: this new IPhone 15 line up... Never left a comment except for this one. This is the only one that has enlightened me about all those mm's on the csmera lenses... Like I literally learned something today... Thank You! 🧡❤️

[@TerrenRule]

So glad I could help my friend :)

[@albsanchezzz]

Great video and very helpful! I'm still waiting on mine lol.

[@myshaney8556]

Thanks to your review I ended up getting the moft case, tripod and wallet. Can't wait for it to ship for my iphone 15 pro max

[@makeitrainnaren]

One of the most solid reviews so far. Love your takes on performance that a lot of other reviewers didn't touch on as much- and you do it in a really good way. Also shout out MOFT, while their wallet doesn't have the best MagSafe strength, I love using it as a grip while holding the phone as the Max is still a big phone for me!

[@Zvlhairie]

Upgraded from the iPhone 12 and wow, its a huge jump in every aspect :) No overheating issues thus far :)

[@repetetivebeats]

Hi Terren - seen a few tech reviewers sponsored by MOFT & love the look of the white case but have always found after 6 months they’re covered in dirt and grime - is it actually stain resistant? I had a Torro case in my 13 PM but after 3 months the oils from my hands had caused unremovable stains

[@Pyonz24]

Great review Terren! I opted for the regular 15 pro personally, but have always been curious what using the Max is like. Btw the wallpaper pack looks dope, what program or software did you use to create them?

[@MatthewVlossak]

How’s the 15 Pro been treating you?

[@atorbtech]

does the lens compression correction work on the iPhone 15 also ? or is it just a pro model feature !

[@JCU84]

I use the moft wallet. It’s dope to have a wallet that you can use it for a stand. I will say i went back to my  MagSafe wallet and the design fits better when the wallet is attached & in hand than the moft

[@HollywoodMultimedia]

Did you try to connect a video capture card ? Its working as camera monitor ?

[@sammyocean8896]

I upgraded to the 15pro from the 13pro and haven’t looked back. It’s been a great new phone with no issues. I upgrade every 2 years

[@TerrenRule]

Awesome!! Yeah this phone has been awesome thus far, I love the cameras the most.

[@antoniothomas4273]

Ordered a 15 pro max in natural titanium to replace my green 11 pro max. I will miss my 11 but definitely looking forward to the upgrade

[@raypreble7947]

My question is, about the cameras lenses, how far away is the camera to the subject, when taken the pictures?

[@TheGothicHangman]

When I went from iPhone X to the 13Pro Max it was a great leap. Macro lens gave me some of the most amazing photos. The Wide angle lens also yielded some stellar shots. Some scenarios the zoom was great and other time disappointing. Still I love my daily experience with the 13Pro it's been my favorite phone. Now I'm being offered a deal for trade in and upgrade, though I ask myself should I jump on the 15Pro Max or just wait another year. Honestly none of the new titanium colors thrill me as much as the Sierra Blue.

[@bfidy8]

Wait. iPhone 16 should be a significant upgrade. 3 years in between iPhones is better value as a consumer opposed to yearly or every two year upgrades. I bought the 15 pm but I'm also coming from the note 20 ultra. Unless your 13 pro is handicapped by the battery or has some issues that really bother then you can consider upgrading this year.

[@UnboxAesthetics]

Watch my unboxing of the iPhone 15 Pro Max! 📦

[@TheGothicHangman]

@@bfidy8 Battery life is excellent on the 13Pro Max thankfully. Upgrade of the new IOS brings some great new features, especially the landscape charging screen. Appreciate your comment, innately my feeling is also that the 16 will feel like a huge leap. The 13Pro Max doesn’t feel heavy to me even with a Phone Rebel Flex case, they surprisingly haven’t even made a version yet for the 15Pro Max. Plus I just got replacement case, would always want one on my phone.

[@lilycat1694]

I ordered a Titanium Blue 15 Pro Max and still waiting for it to be delivered. Honestly, my 12 Pro Max still running pretty good, with 87% battery health. I do not mind bezels, which are bigger on my 12 PM.

[@citizentex5720]

I’m in the same boat as you. Same phone, same order. I question my ordering decision every day 😂

[@GhostlyParanormalMusic]

@@citizentex5720same as you both 😂 I have a 12 pro max and ordered a 15 pro max even though my 12 was working fine, now after reading both your comments I feel better I’m not alone on my questionable decisions 💀

[@codyberger2762]

I ended up canceling my 15pm order and decided to keep my 13pm as it still works great with 97% battery health lol

[@robsnow2099]

12PM here and ordered a 15PM. Man I work hard and save properly…I used this particular device more than anything I own, for over 100 use cases. I also travel a lot and love taking pictures. As long as you can afford to do it, enjoy in good health.

[@rushennair692]

Also coming from a 12PM, had the 15PM for two days and so far it doesn’t feel like a huge difference considering there’s a 3 year gap. The experience will be different depending on the person ofc

[@Ohkeh640]

What screen protector do you use

[@TylerPutnam2.0]

I’m posting this comment towards the beginning of your video so you could’ve already mentioned this but have you had any noticeable problems involving the overheating people keep mentioning, I got the iPhone 15 pro max today and yeah it does get a little warm here and there but it really hasn’t bothered me too much yet especially with a case

[@godavari-hollandpilla2196]

What do you say about easy breakable back glass?

[@KIDDHOLLISTER1aero]

I usually go for the darkest iPhone option but the titanium looks so dope!

[@TerrenRule]

Yes it looks sweet!

[@zoltanzana]

Not in person, boring gray.

[@jaredweiman2987]

@@zoltanzana I got the Blue because every iPhone I've had has been silver, black, or grey. Blue was the only option wildly different from anything else.

[@SiddyBoy]

It looks shit IRL. I bought the blue titanium and my friend got the natural titanium and he too regrets it. Blue looks way better IRL

[@StayMadLmfao]

Honestly I don’t update every year since I upgraded to the 14 Pro Max after being on the XR for so long but the gaming capabilities of the 15 is too good to pass up. This thing still heats up too much while gaming

[@tijmenwiesenekker9224]

What's the screen refresh rate?

[@arsanyousboules6254]

@TerrenRule do you think apple will ever make it possible for old photos with bad or dated quality, remaking them into high quality photos through a software feature?? And whats your note on that??

[@TerrenRule]

It’s entirely possible!! With the likes of AI and other softwares already doing this, I can see Apple potentially releasing this as their own feature in the “Apple way”. Which means lots of years of trial to figure out the best way to do it before releasing out for people to try

[@6sants954]

Should I go for this over the 15 pro?

[@global2526]

Waiting for my iPhone pro max Titanium going to be 1 to 3 weeks, which Is lame when the lady said I'd get it straight away within 5 days. You can use it as a gaming console which will blow your mind and the vr glasses are Next Level.

[@KeithBarnett]

If you use the camera on the 35mm setting all it’s doing is cropping in. The meta data will say 24mm.

[@sethmewes161]

People always talked about the weight but I’m switching from the 12 mini I think it’s gonna be way more heavier

[@justice-peace3333]

Great job on reviewing the iPhone 15 pro max.

[@justice-peace3333]

Are you related to marques Brownlee? You look just like him.

[@DeusRegum]

Come on guys! Let's get Terren to 50k! :)

[@TerrenRule]

Yes please! :)

[@bangladdes]

hi, I pre-ordered the iphone 15 pro max 512 natural T. I'm just wondering if I should cancel the order because they say they overheat a lot and I want it mainly for playing games and making videos. do you overheat too?

[@global2526]

Sitting here thinking the same thing. I actually cancelled my contact for the 512gb iphone pro max and they sent a email today saying they're sending me the 256gb model Titanium colour and I thought with ALL the Bad press should I cancel it. I'm surprised they reinstated a cancelled contract ands just sending it to me It's Weird!. Bad omen for a Contract.

[@honeybuggins]

Hi. It is true! I didnt notice it until the 3rd day when I try to load Genshin Impact and on the 4th day it started overheating while charging when I wasnt using it :(((

[@bangladdes]

@@honeybuggins what other mobile phone would you recommend for making video and play games?

[@zulprime5586]

Anyone else who bought iPhone 15 Pro/Max models experiencing unusual heating issues with your device? Terren do you think this device is DURABLE enough to go through day to day usage of an average user without shattering after a first drop from waist height?

[@dieseldawg7132]

Naw not all as far a heating up yet I never use and phone with out a case

[@c.daubz.5386]

To big for one hand use so not for me but looks to be good except it’s less durable than 12-14pro max, getting 15pro but dislike apple not keeping cameras same on both size pro models “bad🍎” many people want all the features but on a phone we can use in one hand without juggling it around, 👍👍video

[@TerrenRule]

Yeah having all the Pro features on both iPhones would have been nice tbh And thanks for watching! :)

[@kdoddieTR]

Waiting on my Blue Titanium 15 Pro Max. Can't wait! I'm coming from a 13 Pro.

[@TerrenRule]

The Blue is really nice, honestly as the days go by I'm changing my mind on my fav colour lol

[@charleswilliams8783]

Cool I’m trading in my 13 pro max to get it I have the 14 pro max now

[@charleswilliams8783]

I’m trying to get the titanium one

[@MatthewVlossak]

How’re you liking the Pro Max?

[@user-sl5el5qv1c]

Is it true that iPhone 15 series has in its selfies like a grey effect on? Lot of people say that although the selfie seems great before taking it, the system kinda changes its saturation or something. anyone with experience in iphone 15 series? Especially the pro or better the PRO MAX😊😊😊

[@michalpredko7166]

Yes, it’s true 😔 (15 pro max)

[@user-sl5el5qv1c]

@@michalpredko7166 really? But why? All the camera tests and video show a great result

[@trentcoldstair8015]

I have the 15 pro. Want to try the Max. I can afford both if I want.

[@MatthewVlossak]

What did you decide on to keep? Did you try the Pro Max?

[@veisveis3520]

What about overheat?

[@TerrenRule]

Just posted a new video about it, check it out on the channel :)

[@master.__.k]

this is my first time watching your video and oml my initial reaction was "Doesn't this guy look like the exact spitting image of MKBHD..." (also #imadeit)

[@justice-peace3333]

They do look alike

[@justice-peace3333]

Twins

[@citizentex5720]

Don’t worry. There is definitely no one “rushing out” to buy a pro max. The wait is almost two months.

[@global2526]

That's what I thought and I got notified today that the order is on its way...

[@unknownwarrior5672]

​@@global2526wait what?? Dang i got my order in from AT&T and it's not expected to ship until between october 13th and 30th.

[@jvrdlc]

before the Pro and Pro Max would have the same features.. not apple charging $100 more and give you a much competent camera.. how sad is that. and the non Pro is the same as last year phone with the same chip... but no apple reviewers can call that out or else Tim would fire them

[@chrismarchetta5862]

Did you just keep making the same phone you’re after your probably gonna end up switching this year just tired of the same design

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

#imadeit. Cool video!✌️

[@TerrenRule]

Awesome! Thank you! :)

[@xmeng137]

uh, they already disrupted mobile gaming. That happened with angry birds

[@TerrenRule]

Haha yes in that sense, but I meant for about console quality games becoming more of a regular thing on iPhones and their mobile devices. Their M series chips and this recent A17 Pro chip have come such a long way. It'll be super interesting to see what the landscape of AAA mobile gaming looks like in the future with the likes of Sony, Nintendo, Apple, and other players (i.e Steam Deck, etc.) I have a feeling Apple may pull away since their chips are exponentially getting ridiculously good.

[@TheMrreese24]

Apple can't disrupt anything, they better hope their allowed to be participants, they've done well but they are Folding themselves needing other oems and no one needs them

[@kanesword9528]

Is your cat a ragdoll?

[@TerrenRule]

Thanks for asking! No she's a Siberian cat :)

[@citizentex5720]

Apple just saved ITSELF money on back repairs-don’t most people have AppleCare? Maybe not.

[@boston500ful]

Nah !!! Its still a phone with very minor upgrades. Absolutely nothing groundbreaking. Wait for ultra 16 !!

[@unknownwarrior5672]

Because it just came out and there aren't really that many popular phone brands releasing at the same time as apple does.

[@razor19906]

not worth it...its scam.
