The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the filmmaking tool of 2023... or so they say. But is it really? Let's have an honest chat about my first impressions on the camera and lenses.

I went from the 12 pro max last year to the 14 pro max , and like you I’m not a fan boy and am a realist , none of the phones on the market are perfect , , and neither is the 15 series , it has some good points , but from what I have seen I still think some of the things that matter to me like durability, the 14 pm is imo streets ahead despite all of Apple hooplah marketing …. Titanium, titanium 😀. As for the 5x zoom , it still seems a bit wimpy when you consider some android phones had 5x zoom in 2018 and have gone way past that on some models. Going from 14 series to 15 series seems a very questionable buy unless you have a specific use case for one of the 15’s features. I might add I still have my 12 pro max , and I still like that old phone, and I do prefer the notch that is way less intrusive than Gilligans island/dynamic island😊.

One thing a lot of people miss, is that the gap between x2 and x5 is digital. If you shoot mostly up to x3 you are better off with the pro, as you are getting less digital crop and more optical range. Also, the ability to re focus afterwards is and has always been possible in portrait mode. Now we get auto portrait mode available by either the camera seeing a person or animal, or by manually selecting a focus spot. If you do t do that, you get normal focus with no way of changing it later.

Wonderful video! While my big lenses and camera won’t be getting replaced anytime soon, it’s at least good that my phone can now, in certain situations, be used as a legitimate secondary tool that *compliments* my camera rather than remaining in my pocket or away from me because the quality coming out of it isn’t up to par. Versatility, modularity, and the overall quality of a big lens and sensor will always win out for me. But, if I’m now (or when I do upgrade to a 15 Pro) in a pinch, don’t have my camera with me, or in a situation where I feel the need to pull out my phone to shoot something, whether photo or video… I can at least feel more confident that the results will be good enough that I can actually use them for things.

Like all image stabilization, there are limits to how much the sensor can move, and apparently your review of the 5 x zoom ran into those limits. Hence the jerkiness, However, you are not doing justice by expecting it to be an "Action" lens. But when you use the combination of its stabilization along with Action mode (which uses a crop instead of full 4K) and it gives incredible smooth, gimbal like performance. I've tried that today, and am very impressed, and you can see the similar performance in the Tyler Stalman review.

I got the same phone as you I came from an iPhone 12 (the regular one) and I live in New York, I can say the 5x lens looks incredible, that 120mm can get very amazing shots but you have to stay in one position when recording and not move, but honestly that’s the same with any camera out there unless you have a gimbal or something, naturally with any camera the more you zoom the more you will sense the movement

You can always just use an SD card with an adapter. I'm also sure there will be cases and whatnot soon that include external storage. I saw one reviewer that had a Samsung SSD (tiny and flat) rigged to magnetically stick to the back of the phone etc. WAY easier than dragging my camera gear everywhere especially for the short commercial stuff I sometimes shoot. I'm very excited for this option.

I was thinking how great it would be to have an external HD for phone footage for travel video, but you are right.... with mirrorless cameras also becoming better I rather have a dedicated camera. I think phone cameras are so convenient and I'm glad they're as good as they are. I'll probably get the next release of Sony's asp-c cinema camera. It's annoying that the A7IV doesn't have LUT integration.

My first iPhone was the 6s Plus. I’ve since been through an iPhone 8 and now an iPhone SE (2/2020). I’m torn between the models. I probably would use the 77mm more than the 120mm, but I do often miss the bigger screen in my 6s Plus. I do use my phone for all my KZbin videos now, but I’m not sure I wouldn’t rather have one really great camera and lens and use Moment lenses, or perhaps something even better that might come along.

For an honest review, respectfully you take Apple at face value in their marketing. It’s not 7 lenses, it’s three, marketed as “lossless zoom” which is completely inadequate. The 3x zoom on the max is not the same as the 3x zoom on the regular pro. That one has a optical sensor.

Went from a XS max to 15 pro max and i’m a bit disappointed with the camera. Was expecting a bigger difference in quality and the 5x lens is an awkward/not very useful focal length. Wish I had just gone with the regular 15 pro with the 3x lens. I feel they messed up by not adding a 4th lens to the pro max (3x).

I really want to see how 15 Pro Max takes shoots in third party apps. Especially in comparison with Sony Experia 1 V and Pixel 8 Pro which is coming soon. I bought my 13 pro, because everyone say that iPhone is the best smartphone for photo and video shooting but… I’m not sure about that. It’s still oversharpening a lot, frequently misrepresent colors and makes overall image unnatural. Now I’m thinking about switching back to android, but can’t find comparison video with Sony when iPhone has been used manual camera settings 😢

" I absolutely adore the 120mm lens on the iPhone-it's a standout feature. Plus, the ACES color encoding system elevates the quality of both photos and videos, making them stand out from the competition. It's no wonder this camera is often hailed as a creator's dream. What's more, ACES isn't available on any other smartphone. With a wider dynamic range thanks to ACES and LOG, combined with the power of the new CPU and GPU, including ray tracing capabilities, this phone feels like a portable gaming console. I can't wait to play Assassin's Creed Mirage and other games when they're released. There are numerous improvements too, such as the 8GB RAM. I currently own the 14 Pro Max, but I'm seriously considering buying this new model for its 120mm lens and the ACES color profile. It would allow me to seamlessly integrate my Sony camera B-roll, which shoots at 60fps with a crop, with the non-crop 4K 60fps capabilities of the iPhone. 😄"

At 1:24, the video says, ""The iPhone Pro Max comes with not 3 but 7 lenses. On the back, we only see 3 lenses." To be clear there are NOT 7, but only 3 lenses. The fact that the iPhone uses cropping and processing to offer 7 specific focal lengths in its user interface does not mean that there are suddenly 7 lenses. If digital zoom equaled having additional lenses, then the iPhone would offer not 7 but a couple hundred "lenses" because you can zoom to almost any focal length from 13mm onward. At 1:55, the video says, ""The telephoto lens does not just offer a focal length that is equivalent to 77mm but also 120mm." That is incorrect. If you choose the Pro Max model, you LOSE the native 77mm (3x) focal length. It is replaced with 120mm (5x). You don't get both lenses. It is not possible to get 77mm from the Pro Max telephoto lens because the widest focal length it can achieve is 120mm. If you select 3x on the Pro Max, you're selecting an aggressive digital crop of the 24mm lens which isn't the same thing as an actual 77mm lens.

As someone who's had iPhones since the 3G,. the advances and progress in technology we've seen over the past 10 to 15 years has been nothing short of insane. I know some people who say the new iPhone 15 isn't much of an upgrade for people who have the 14 or 13,. but it would be my guess that's really not the demographic Apple is shooting for. We have to remember Apple has all the internal statistics (which and how many devices are associated to all their customers AppleID's).. so they know the distribution of how many (and what kind) of iPhones are out there. The iPhone 15 will be a great upgrade for anyone still using iPhone 8, X or 11.

Haha neither did I! I found out about it recently. I still don’t know all the features or functionalities, but I don’t really use cinematic mode anyway. People say it looks better at f8 but at that aperture you might as well use the regular video mode. I tried it on my cat and I actually liked the bokeh (what’s left of it haha) nicer in regular camera mode.

Not having a proper camera *and* using the old iPhone X currently for filming my KZbin-videos the 15 Pro Max *will* be in my pocket at the end of November, come hell or high water. *Then* I can start saving up for a proper camera - will be making a iPhone X vs iPhone 15 comparison video of the transition, but people have to stop comparing each new phone to the previous phone, makes no sense, of course there will be only minor upgrades from one generation to the last, it’s how companies make money and keep prices down generation by generation - if they where to do more major changes each generation each new phone would cost 2-3 times more, or even more than that - by doing incremental changes they spread developement cost over several years, maximising profit while slowly changing things around and keeping prices as low as the market is willing to pay. As for the included camera app vs features - I *think* it’s a balance thing, as in «give people a mid level type camera app» that works for most peoples uses included for free, and let other developers make more advanced apps for advanced use that cost the money, so Apple can make money off those app sales. It’s only logical, why make a great app and give it away for free, when they can make a basic app and make money off the sales via third party developers - less cost and risk, more profit, they are a business after all - and the Blackmagic comes along and kills the income from the third party video camera app market :D

Why are you opting for the pro max and not the pro? Re: native camera app. I personally feel like if they market this as a pro tool for filmmakers, they should add the functionality or add a disclaimer that you can get more functionality using 3rd party apps. I understand we can’t have it all, but for this price point and their marketing, it’s weird to not get any of the tools we need to shoot proper ProRes LOG. That being said, the footage came out great, I just wish we got more control.
