It is quite a jump. If you went with the 13 pro, it'd have been an upgrade, but you'd definitely have that feeling that the whole experience is a little hollow and unnecessary. Instead you're fully enjoying your purchase because it's well worth it.

You are a great reviewer - one of the best I've come across. The videos are arty, fun and informative but the biggest draw to you is your complete honesty and practical approach to reviewing these products. You are totally right about these new product releases - let's face it Apple and the rest of them want to you want to buy a new device every year but unless you review for a living it's really not necessary especially with what the listed changes/improvements are yearly. Also - I like the fact that you are not gimmicky or flashy - just tell it like it is. Really appreciate that. And you are very good at explaining the higher "tech" hardware and software upgrades and the use in the real world (especially to people who might be "age" challenged.

Writing this as I sit in my vehicle typing on my new iPhone 15 Pro Max I just bought. I’m coming from an 11 Pro Max that I’ve had since it came out. Everything you said and your main point overall is extremely spot on. I think people have oversight at times on trying to justify buying a new phone each year but that was never really practical anyway. Truth is when I get an Apple product it’s an investment and something I plan to keep for a 3-4 year period. My point is coming from and 11 pro max this 15 feels light years ahead. From the smaller “notch” to the overall “feel” IFYKYK

I went iPhone 15 pro from S22 max. After a month: Battery seems better than I was getting with my S22 Ultra. I was expecting it to be worse but it has easily outperformed it. I’m not playing games. Primarily browser, audio, KZbin and camera. I do not miss the larger screen. I do NOT miss the fingerprint reader. Face ID is excellent and it allows me to use a glass screen protector. It is always smooth and apps like both the ones I use for my 2 cars (VW and ford for a Mach E) definitely work better and more consistently. I’m impressed.

I haven’t updated iPhones in years. I always felt Apple’s “upgrades” over the years were incremental at best. So, I just held on to my iPhone XS Max since 2019 and I upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro Max yesterday. Now I feel like I’m Captain America standing in the middle of Times Square after being sleep for 70 years with this phone. Also, thank you, Apple, for *NOT* telling me that I needed to purchase the Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable when I picked up my phone yesterday. Because why get everything I need with my phone when I pick it up the first time when I can just make multiple trips? 👍🏽

[@YungZaBuu]

Thank you Marques ❤

[@mikebthedog3719]

I upgraded from an 11 so I had my 11 for 4 years and I am enjoying the 15. It’s definitely a significant upgrade for me. The display alone for me I can tell the refresh rate was much better. Also, could cut the lightning cable so I thought why not.

[@marioStortuga]

[@tobuku23]

Thank you for all the great information on all the gadgets. My main issue with the iPhone security is the ability others have to jailbreak your phone. I hope the next time you are with the iPhone Apple team you can bring it up. I currently have an iPhone 13 and plan on moving to an iPhone 15, but my current issue is security the ability others have to jailbreak the phone put stealth spy apps, or clone the phone. You can keep your phone updated with the most current patch. If the has been compromised it won't make a difference. So my issue is security not features but actual soft or firmware. Again thank you time you took out.

[@NOLATechy]

The main issue I see with the Action Button is the lack of multi-purpose use without having to go into settings to change it each time. For example, on the Pixel phones, single clicking the power button will lock/unlock the phone, double-clicking the same power button will launch the camera, clicking and holding the power button will either bring up the power settings or launch the Google Assistant, and clicking the power button five times will start Emergency SOS, notify your loved ones of your location and call 911 for you. The Action Button should be able to have similar multi-purpose functionality like this.

[@davidk1717]

But you can create a multipurpose shortcut for it. This shortcut can execute different actions depending on your current focus mode, current location and so on. I think I even saw a shortcut already that recognizes double clicking. Of course it would be nice if you Apple would provide this out of the box but the shortcuts offer a lot of possibilities.

[@NOLATechy]

@@davidk1717 Agree it should be native like Pixel phones, not have to create a work around

The hype for the next best thing has always been set by KZbin reviewers. I remember the time before the internet and this kind of thing just wasn’t prevalent at all, the KZbinrs need content so they post these videos and find new ways to tell you that you don’t need to upgrade but ya want to upgrade 🤣 This video is a classic example. The ending plug for the Eight Sleep was just perfection, £2250 for a bed topper!
