iPhone 15 Pro Max vs 14 Pro Max: Camera Comparison | Any Change?

[@sydguitar99]

Finally an honest review, it seems like everyone is overblowing how great the new camera system is

[@StoicMiles]

It’s just the answer you’re looking for and that you’re already thinking. The other ones can be honest as well

[@htp1146]

Well, that is not how it works. Everyone has different requirements and likes and perceives the same thing in different ways. It doesn't mean that someone who is extremely impressed with the upgrades would be dishonest.

[@krmtdfrg]

Another reason why I’m not upgrading as the camera on my 14 Pro Max takes amazing pictures

[@mj_padayao]

The implementation of 24MP in auto is actually great! In the smartphone industry where almost every smartphones joins the '48-200 megapixels', Apple's move is simply outstanding. I even find it uncanny that a particular phone has such a huge amount of megapixels in camera but still outputs 12MP binned photos. Where's the benefit of the large sensor?! Well, Apple has just done it! Let's just wait for other brands to implement this as well.

[@MarksTech]

The default 24mp is really nice to have, I agree

[@harryvlogs7833]

But it isn't a native 24mp it's upscaled

[@ghfsd786fa]

@@harryvlogs7833 is not upscaled nor native, god only knows what the algorithms and AI is doing, but is not simply upscaling

[@harryvlogs7833]

@ghfsd786fa fine it's downscale to 24mp

[@MarksTech]

@@harryvlogs7833 yeah it’s downscaled from 48 to 24 with pixel binning 2:1 That’s why night mode doesn’t use 24, and it defaults to 12mp so pixel binning is increased to gather more information during dark scene

[@simpletechreviews895]

Most honest review I seen to date! I’m a photographer and I feel they are trying to fool consumers. 90% of photos are taken during the day. They need a larger sensor for better night photos.

Can you do a 13pro vs 15 pro camera test? Or do you recommend the upgrade?

[@Momofan67]

Thank you for your video I have iPhone 14 pro Max and I was wondering that I have to take the iPhone 15 pro Max, for two reasons for me usb c and the transfer of video photos to ssd disk. And your video convinced me to wait for the 16 pro Max. Because, we just won the video in log and usbc. With the 15 pro Max. And some tests in France because I live in France they are not objective by saying that the 15 pro Max is better in photo. And your video proves that there is not too much difference, in the shots you made. The 24 mega pixels against the 12 mega pixels do not change too just, a little on the exposure. And the problem is that it is the calculations of the processor that will make choices on the exposure, and the warmer colors. In short, I pass my turn, and I think Apple is reaching the end of photo progress. And will never do like android, Samsung or Google pixel, iPhone remains for me the best in portrait and videos.

[@clairewilliams9416]

Thank you for this I have the 14 pro max and I was curious if was going to regret it and wishing I’d waited that bit longer to upgrade. Glad to know that there’s nothing majorly different well aside from USB. It’d be nice if my phone used the same power cord as my iPad Pro but it’s not the end of the world.

[@Isles8]

For most day-to-day use I think the iPhone 14 Pro Max is still a great phone minus Thunderbolt, I want to upgrade to the 15 because of USB-C but honestly, it seems this year is marginal at best. I am going to wait till the 16

[@StellaDuchessofLondon]

Comparing maximum zoom on each was a little unfair. I’d rather see a comparison of 15x on each.

[@reyesproductionDK]

I have the 14 pro max. I would say maybe 15 pro max is not a big difference. BUT! Maybe if you are a content creator, filmmaker. The 15 is more handy and helpful, use as a secondary camera perhaps? So yeah. If you are not into really professional filmmaking I think you shouldn't switch to 15. Yeah, you can shoot with Apple LOG, ProRes but if you are an everyday phone user to take pictures, stick with the 14. Unless you are rich as ... :D

[@joshdeee]

It is the same sensor with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, its just the new software algorithm for the HDR and enabled the 24mp output of the 48mp sensor. The biggest change is the 5x telephoto lens.

[@MatthewVlossak]

I would love to see a regular 15 vs. 14 Pro/Pro Max comparison! From speakers to photos etc. since they have similar if not the same hardware subjectively speaking

Because you’re losing the depth effects of the new iPhone 15 models in 48mp, and you’re also getting ever so slightly worse HDR, and nightmode goes to 12mp anyway. So I made my video in the mode that most people will use:) however, there are many videos out that do show the 48mp raw mode

[@Siphesihle_Jiyane]

Thank you very much for being honest🙏🏾🏆

[@famousarmystudio]

One interesting thing I noticed is while viewing on YT, if I pause in your side by side video comparisons on the front camera, you can clearly see the smearing in the 14pro Max, and it's not like 24fps motion, it's compression. Since most of video content shot by iPhones will most likely be consumed here on YT, little improvements like this are helpful. The 15pro Max does have a less "over sharp" effect that the 14pro Max has.

[@tamaslaszlo1745]

Is it possible, that the image processing algorythm includes some AI recognition step, and the features recognized can be enhanced, like letters and edges and lines? It not necessarily a bad thing, I guess, if it is implemented the right way, but I have a feeling, our iphone is more and more like us, and it is not showing what the sensor detects, but it displays, how it can interpret it, how it makes sense of it. Do we have information, if these kind of feature extraction and recognition steps are indeed part of the basic image processing workflow? If I understand correctly, in some sense it is part of JPEG compression as well, but in that case there is no neural network behind, there is no modell of the world with context, and it doesn’t mean anything to it, it is just about entropy and local contrast. Apple refers to some AI step, but I cannot find information, exactly what step it would be.

„There is no difference“; okay I’m gonna check this statement. 1st comparison: Check the trees. 15 pro seriously better. Also the building is oversharpened on the 14 pro. 2nd comparison: once again check the plants in the foreground. Also the color of the red wall looks way better one the 15 pro. 3rd comparison: the 14pro is oversharpening the whole picture as always. Shadow parts of the 15 pro are better. 4th comparison: 14 pro as always overexposed. 5th comparison: as you mentioned the clouds; also oversharpening on the 14 pro. 6th comparison: 14 pro once agian overexposing the whole picture, especially the trees. 7th comparison: man… i have to repeat myself: the oversharpening of the 14 pro is ridiculous as hack. It looks just bad. Always hated that iPhones did this. 15 pro finally doesn’t luckily. I guess I gotta stop here. My conclusion is, that the 15 pro is way WAY better in an extremely important segment of photo-quality, which is: Exposing, natural sharpness, and also color saturation. The 15 pro is all in all so much more balanced; you can see it literally in every picture 🙈 For some people it might be just small improvements, but these improvements are so important for the quality of a photo. But except from your weird statement, that there are almost no differences; it’s a very nice comparison, I like the pictures you’ve made and you’ve compared. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@valoniseni3d]

waiting for iphone 16, its not worth upgrading from iphone 14, these comparisons are only for youtubers , in real life nobody gives a shit about zooming and seeing if there is any noise or glare or a pixel of reflection, especially with these last years flagship phones, they dont know what to do anymore, they try to convince us with zooming the photo and seeing that there is less noise, which can be done with software programming such as AI noise reduction and they dont tell us about that, they tell, we upgraded the camera, you just have to zoom it and wollah, magic. Its very ridiculous for some addicted on changing iphones every year there is new, and they are the most who dont understand nothing about phones, they just eat the lies from apple.
