iPhone 15 Pro vs Pro Max Review: Regular Pro User's Experience

[@JonImperial]

What do you guys think of the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max? Did you get one? 😊

[@iamBede]

Switched from 13 Pro Max to 15 Pro and I’m enjoying the form factor so far. Not into mobile gaming so the screen size is just right for me. The battery life is good enough to get me through the day. The pro variant is way more comfortable to use than the pro max, for me.

[@LuisGaray]

I did. I went from the 14 Pro Max to the regular 15 Pro. So refreshing! It is the perfect size. I feel that creatively the 3x is more useful than a 5x. So I don't feel like I am missing out.

[@JonImperial]

[@JonImperial]

@@iamBede awesome! Glad you are loving it!

[@JonImperial]

@@LuisGaray perfect! which color did you get?

[@Calibretto9]

Similar boat for me. I upgraded from a 12 Pro to a 15 Pro Max. Ended up returning the max for a 15 Pro. I wasn’t really using the 5x and the size was just cumbersome enough to make me miss the more one-handable normal size. Super happy with the 15 Pro.

[@JonImperial]

Glad you have the one that works for you! What color did you get?

[@Calibretto9]

@@JonImperial For me, black. Always black. I like the look of the blue & titanium, but whenever I see black on tech video I feel immediate envy. Just my go to.

[@jarrahdrum]

I have been using an iPhone XS for about 5 years ( I upgrade about every 5 years)and I am looking to upgrade. I have (pick up tmr) chosen the 15 pro because of size and I did think about the pro max, but really, the pro is the sensible choice in my opinion for ergonomics alone. As for the battery ;life that I am hearing about, I don't think that I will have any issues with this at all, but I am curious about power banks as I have never owned one or even needed one. Yep, the 15 pro with a uag case is the sensible choice for me.

[@YTYTYTY7]

Yeah.. Just not being able to reach the other end with a thumb, is a deal breaker.

[@fightnight14]

The 5x is only useful in traveling some other rare times you need to get closer to a subject. The 3x is sweet spot

[@tgreen12345]

I brought the 15 Pro. As an iPhone Mini fan this iPhone is pretty much perfect. And the screen is amazingly bright. I just love this iPhone. The battery easily lasts all day for me.

[@JonImperial]

Glad to hear you’re loving it! 😊

[@skipcooney]

Upgraded from 12P to 15P, and have nagging uncertainty about whether I should have gotten the 15P Max. Your video helped me feel better about the 15P, especially the camera comparisons at 3X and 5X. Surprised to see how good the 15P is at 5X.

[@JonImperial]

I was surprised too!!! I didn’t think that would be the case! 😱

[@samarali6542]

Same i just bought iphone 15 pro but i was regretting...i thought i should have bought 15 pro max instead of pro but now im happy with my 15 pro

[@skatyan]

@@JonImperial probably because at 3x 15 Pro is using telephoto lens while 15 Pro Max is using the main camera (at 3x digital zoom) and at 5x 15 pro is using digital zoom(1.6x) on 3x telephoto giving better results

​@@sanjus4423 I covered it in the video. Long story short, it could depending on your use.

[@jordindie]

I have the 15P and I'm getting twice your SoT. For real. I 've just came back from my second trip with it and after heavy use, +300 pictures in RAW (most of them 48MP) in a day, Apple Pay, flight boarding passes, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. I got into the plane at 7pm with 40% battery. 32 cycle count right now, and still 100% maximum capacity. Great video, btw. Super happy to see that our 5x is not that far at all.

[@JonImperial]

That's awesome! The battery does vary depending on what you are doing.

[@Jeanna8]

Polished. I think I’ve made up my mind thanks for the video. Upgrading from the 12 pro to the 15 pro I needed this advice.

[@jtower3]

Polished. Upgrading from the 13PM, and after watching your video, definitely going to go with the 15Pro. I’m tired of the larger PM form factor and agree on your views of the 3x vs 5x camera zoom. I WFH, so the battery life will be a rare consideration for me, which I will probably solve with a MagSafe battery pack if needed. Thank you for a well rounded review!

I have Sony A6700 camera so when I wanted to go higher then 3x the camera’s lenses would be a better fit then paying the extra $$ for the 15Pro Max.

[@alameano]

I’m in the same boat. I have a 7+ still and have been contemplating between the P or PM. the difference in Canada is $300 but I think the P is the smart choice if you’re just a regular person.

[@itsdtxjd]

Oh I notice how much nicer, lighter and smaller it feels in the hand even with a case on. I was wanting to go with the smaller Pro for the first time because I was over how big the Pro Max felt. Thank god I didn’t! And yeah that 120hz is what made me make the switch to iPhone with the 13 Pro max. Loving the acation button too, I have it set to open up video camera. I have battery set to charge to 80% and at the end of my day I still have 50ish %! I went with the natural titanium in 1tb to match my ultra 2. I’m so in love with these two pieces of tech. It’s amazing!

[@JonImperial]

That’s awesome! 1TB 😮‍💨 Glad to hear you are enjoying your new gadgets! 👌🏾

[@neog.1901]

Excellent video. I initially went with the 15 PM thinking the 5x would make a huge difference and also not realizing it sacrificed 3x quality shots. I just assumed it was the same as the smaller 15 Pro with the addition of looking better at when you went past 3x. What ended up being the real dealbreaker was its size. I just couldn't get used to its large size so I returned it for the smaller 15 Pro and have been very happy since I did that. My battery lasts me all day (which for me is 7 am to around 11 pm) with enough room to spare and even on heavy use days I never have battery anxiety and since I tend to shoot pics in the 1x to 3x range more I'm technically getting better shots than the 15 PM. Even when I got past 3x the quality diff isn't drastic to where I feel like I'm missing out. Both are excellent phones, but I just love having a smaller variant.

[@JonImperial]

Thank you so much! It seems like we had a similar experience with the camera.. I got used to the size though.

Used the 15 Pro for almost 2 weeks, now using the 15 Pro Max for a couple days now. I actually really enjoy the Max and have large enough hands to use it one handed. But a case makes it a little too bulky. Not too sure if I’ll keep it. But it’s the phone that gives me the least frustration to use on a daily basis. I can see it easily and type easily.

What did you decide on? I had the Pro Max and noted it but once I slapped a case on it, it was definitely less enjoyable like you said

I upgraded to the 15 Pro Max from the 13 Pro. I’ve never had the Pro Max before, but I’m really starting to prefer it over the Pro. The battery life is insane, and I’m enjoying the bigger display. I can easily get through a day, closer to a day and a third on one charge. I could never get anywhere close to that on my 13 Pro or 12 Pro. But it’s like you said: it’s all about trade-offs, and what is more important to the user. If form factor and reachability, especially if you have smaller hands, is more important, the 15 Pro probably makes more sense.

That’s great!! How are you liking the 5x zoom? 😊

[@MatthewVlossak]

This was an excellent review! I too had the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. Even though I loved the PM size for content consumption and the larger battery, I ultimately stuck with the 15 Pro for comfortability and practicality. I took a phone call on the PM and it was wayyy too big. Downright silly. Your camera tests proved what I was having trouble justifying for the PM. When I wanted 3x on the PM it looked terrible. And it was digitally cropping most of the time unless the lighting was perfect which was annoying. Losing out on quality between 2x-5x zoom on the PM was not ideal either. Transparently, I had the 14 Pro, but the 15 Pro had enough improvements for me to justify upgrading; Better HDR5, better connectivity, a more comfortable and lighter design, USB-C that I can use with my drum mixer, and ProRES LOG…Couldn’t be happier with the 15 Pro!

"I have noticed that 5x with 15pm is just a cropped picture of 3x not sure though." It is the other way around. When you record 3x photo/video on 15PM, that is done by cropping "normal" (wide angle) 48mpix camera, while on 15P, that is done by using 12mpix tele-photo lens of the phone. When you record 5x photo/video on 15PM, that's done by using 12mpix tele-photo lens on the phone, while on 15P, that is done by cropping 12mpix tele-photo lens to match 5x magnification.

There’s no overheating issue to be worried about that’s been fixed with the new update. 😊

[@teejaytambag9677]

How about its battery life kabayan?

[@JonImperial]

@@teejaytambag9677 I shared my battery experience in the video! Check the timestamps. It’s adequate for my use-case! 😊

[@unitedsteal2587]

I had a messed up 12 mini before I went for the 15 pro because I don’t really use my phone so much. With the 15 pro I end the day with about 50% to 60% enough to last me the next day. I work a lot too so I didn’t see the need for the pro max. If you use your phone a lot go for the pro max.

Great video but I don’t really understand one of your complaints. You said that it would be more convenient to allow you to use a stylus on a portable monitor rather than need to bring an iPad or other tablet. A screen that size is already the size of the iPad, plus you don’t have to use a cord to connect it to your phone. The iPad just works. If you have both, it would be best to just use your iPad in this application. If you don’t have an iPad and had one of the cheap portable monitors, it would be a nice second option, but I wouldn’t expect it to have full touch capability without a large price tag.

[@JonImperial]

It's not really a complain more so a "wish".

[@TheOnlyOwnedbyCow]

@@JonImperial I understand. Convenience is always better. But yes if you don’t have an iPad this is definitely a negative.

💯 that is true!!!

[@BozardsInAlaska]

@@JonImperial how often do you go case-less? Or are you using a case most of the time?

[@JonImperial]

I was caseless using the Pro Max for 2 weeks. I'm considering trying going caseless for a bit just to test out the titanium material. But I always have the wallet and tripod with me.@@BozardsInAlaska

[@tobiaschito]

One of the best videos on the subject. I haven't made a final decision yet, but it certainly helped!

[@JonImperial]

I appreciate that!! I’m so glad to hear it helped you! 😊

[@Aion08]

Polished! I tried both 15 pro and 15pro max for the first two weeks after it’s launch and decided to keep 15pro due to its ease of one handed use!

[@JonImperial]

Glad to hear that!! 😊

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Great overview. Upgraded from iphone 12 to iphone 15 pro and think is was a great upgrade.

[@JonImperial]

That’s awesome!! I’m glad you are enjoying it!

[@aliettienne2907]

Assigning additional actions to the action button is wonderful especially when using variable press functions such as long press or double press. And if there's an additional action button then this will increase the fun or excitment with even more press variables or functions. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾 Adding a 5x zoom on the smaller, base iPhone will be a fantastic idea because not everyone will like to own a bigger phone so catering for everyone is smart. But I absolutely believe the bigger phones will always sell despite those who prefer a smaller model. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾

[@JonImperial]

I totally agree!! Let’s hope they do it🤞🏾

[@juliusangelolg]

Worthy upgrade from ip1 to 15pro. I was very hesitant if I should go with 15pm, but hell no, the screen size is too big for me and the 15pro is the right one. As you get older, you’ smile on a pro version because of size and how easy to use it for everyday use.

[@JonImperial]

Congrats on the new phone!! 😊

[@warrengaskin3863]

Until or unless Apple allows split screen on iPhone I see no advantage to the larger Max versions of the iPhone, even the standard size iPhone is too big for me. I loved my former iPhone 12 Mini but it was limited in camera zoom capabilities and battery life so when I got an offer to trade it for the 14 Pro I couldn’t resist. Once you get used to the promotion display and having a 3X camera it would be hard to go back to a phone without these features, nevertheless I think a slightly smaller phone maybe 5.7-5.8 inches with all the Pro features would be ideal

[@JonImperial]

I agree! I really wish they do as I want to experience how they’re doing multi-tasking.

[@laynaselk3661]

Polished Thank you for testing these out in your day to day life for a few weeks!

[@JonImperial]

Glad you liked it! 😀

[@levil4012]

I purchased the 15 pro but returned it for the PM bcuz I love having more screen and the 15PM is not a bulky phone

[@anthonyfox6068]

I currently have the 13 pro max and prefer the larger battery, thanks for helping me decide to keep the max

[@MrEcted]

I went to the Apple Store to swap my 15P for a 1TB model (was using 512GB) and I talked myself into the Max, was swapping anyway. It didn't seem that drastically different in the store, but man, I just can't get used to this thing! The battery life really is great and all (was originally coming from 11P) and the screen is nice for some things, but it's just a pain to deal with on a day to day basis, so now I think I'm going to go back yet again and get the regular 15P (with 1TB) while I'm in the return window. I def learned that Max size isn't right for me, and I have large hands (wear XL gloves).

[@JonImperial]

Oh man. Sorry about that! Hopefully you get it exchanged.

[@Bambotb]

Many such stories..same for 15/plus

[@MrEcted]

Got it exchanged and now is all right with the world again.

[@JonImperial]

@@MrEcted hahaha! I’m happy for you! 🙌🏾

[@adriancarvalho4259]

Great video. I really wanted the 5x telephoto camera but I like smaller phones so I was thinking about waiting for the 16 pro (bc apple will probably upgrade the 3x to 5x this year). But 5x really isn’t as useful as the 3x. I’d definitely use 3x and 4x more than 5x+. I’ll get the 15pro before it’s too late.

[@JonImperial]

I'm hoping for 1x, 3x and 5x for all the Pro cameras. 🤞🏾

[@andresarteaga5230]

AirPods Pro 2nd generation uses USB-C. Great video though

[@JonImperial]

There's a lightning version which they updated it with usb-c after the iPhone 15 announcement.

Ohh i didn’t know that, thank you 👍

[@devanhaben9533]

Polished!!! I think you helped me decide what to upgrade to I been debating on 15 pro or 15 pro max I think imma get the pro I have iPhone 13 max pro right now and it’s bulky n heavy

[@JonImperial]

Try to check the 15PM in person coz it is lighter now. 😊 IF you love the extra screen size, battery and 5x

[@adeel392]

I had iphone 13 pro Worst battery life Small screen stressed my eyes when i had to read emails or anything online I have a pro max with ultra thin case. Works perfectly for me. I wish apple introduce 6.5 inch screen iphone

[@krzysztofperzynski9853]

Nice wallpaper and iPhone desk setup. Maybe you mind creating a dedicated video how to build a well looking, efficient iPhone and Mac working space? Would be really nice. Good job anyway. 🎉

[@keonacroox326]

Polished! To be honest, I upgraded my regular 12 to 15 pro 7 days ago. When I came home, I was still undecided about whether or not to get 15PM because I had upgraded the size and the amount was essentially the same. Up until I saw the clip when you contrasted 15pro to pm. And I adore how you shared your ideas and insights in exploring the 2 devices. I am happy and impressed with what I got now! By the way, I got white titanium.🥰

[@JonImperial]

I’m happy to hear that!! 😊 thank you for watching!

[@MusicNotes2024]

I've gone from using 120hz to 60hz a few times with no problem. Used the S23 Ultra, 14 Pro, Pixel 7 along with a few others and currently using a Pixel 6a....high refresh is at the bottom of my list especially with such a small screen

[@JonImperial]

I can see why you say that! 😊

[@alaali495]

I would like to upgrade from IP XS to IP 15 pro or pro max, your review is great but still I can’t decide what to go for. The fact that the max has a better life battery makes me still not sure if I should go for 15 pro or pro max

[@JonImperial]

If you are worried about battery life, get the Pro Max 😊

[@TheUnthinkable47]

Nice video bro, i had buy a 15 pro max than changed with the 15 pro, dosnt really need the bigger screen and the 5x zoom, im just concern about the battery, the pro Max just feel like a tablet and the one hand use was almost impossible, what u think of that swich ?

[@JonImperial]

It’s really a personal choice, I’m glad you switched and that you are happy with it! 😊

[@josephpepe2607]

A tablet 😂😂😂 no 🙄

[@Robi-tt8ny]

Well I do agree with the 120 Hz one it’s really hard to switch if you’re from 120 Hz to 60 Hz

[@JonImperial]

Which one are you getting?

[@Gerry926]

@JonImperial I will be watching a few more videos before I decide, but I'm leaning towards the Pro Max, because I've always had the top Android phone. I'm thinking more than I need is better than not enough. At my age, a large screen is better for reading and overall navigation of the phone.

[@jcjuy]

thankyou thankyou thankyou!! been contemplating if i made a right choice to get the regular 15 pro, battery is such a big factor but overall the max just isn't for me anymore (i use an 11 pro max)

[@JonImperial]

Happy to help!

[@Jonathan-mb1ez]

Upgraded from the regular 13 to the 15 PM, two weeks in I’m loving it so far

I'm tempted to do the same in a few months which is why I'm checking out these videos lol 👀

[@Jonathan-mb1ez]

@@AceCmbatguy25 I’ve always wanted a ‘Max’ size phone for as long as I could remember. I finally pulled the trigger this time round and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The size just feels perfect, not to mention the noticeable increase in battery life, more screen estate etc etc, I think you won’t regret it!

[@JonImperial]

@@AceCmbatguy25 it’s a great phone! If you think you’ll benefit from the size, battery and 5x, do it! 😊

[@MichaelNNguyen]

Same here, I decided to go with the 15 Pro instead of the Pro Max this year.

[@JonImperial]

What phone did you have? 😊

[@anthonycraig274]

I don’t understand why people associate light as being cheap. Money of my possessions I pay through the nose for them to be as light as possible. I am even returning my iPhone 15 pro because my 13 mini (2 months old) is so small and light.

[@JonImperial]

I think there is some “feeling” that can be associated with it. But it’s not the biggest deal.

[@jack-wilder]

I think one factor that is pretty critical is your hand size. If you have very large hands then the 15PM is the way to go. For those with smaller hands go with the 15P. They are both very good phones.

[@InsighterofTech]

I upgraded from 13 pro to 15 pro. One thing I can say was that my 13 pro when it was on iOS 15 offered much better battery. I could usually get through 2 days easily, but on the 15 pro I’m barely making it through one day now. Only complaint is battery life, next year if the 16 pros have good battery life I will switch

[@JonImperial]

Thanks for sharing that. I’m surprised the 13 Pro would last 2 days. I never owned it.

[@AnthonyYouTubes]

Apple will market the 16 pro having better battery life because they need to give users a reason to upgrade. (Full disclosure, I use a lowly iPhone 12)

[@InsighterofTech]

@@AnthonyKZbins They’re mainly supposed to target the 13 pro users on the 16 pro. They advertise how much the 15 is better than the 12. So they’ll need a jump in battery for sure, past 2 generations have just been getting worse

[@BoccaccioAC]

Oh dear, I suffered so much from fatigue holding my iphone 14 Pro. Almost unbearable. Now with the 15 pro life is much light. 😂 But thanks for your opinion on the the Max size, as I am wondering to the switch to bigger version too. I have an iPad and macbook too. So the increased screen size will not be a huge benefit after all.

[@fedose89]

Very nice! Thanks for helping me to decided which pro models I should choose.. 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
