[@brewergamer]

I have the 15 Pro Max and I usually upgrade every year or every 2 years at least. This year I feel like my phone is perfectly fine and I have no need to upgrade. I had the same feeling when I had the 13 pro max vs the 14 pro max, I waited for the 15 and it was a bigger update.. it seems that every 2 years there are bigger improvements. Which lines up perfectly with carriers 24 month payment plans.

[@LIFeGood808]

Got my 16pm couple days ago and upgraded from 15pm. I think it was worth the upgrade. I’m into photography and the button on the side really helps that along with all the upgrades to camera systems. Also, I spend most of my free time on the phone so All the little upgrades to most are actually significant to me. The sound quality is noticeably better and the bigger screen along with bigger battery means more screen time to do all the things I do. Work and play. Plus, it noticeably recharges faster so it saves on time and convenient. I’m frugal in other areas of my life but when it comes to iPhones, I jump every upgrade because I have the means and also realized time is precious so I want to enjoy the best possible experience I can get from these little devices that I spend a lot of my time on. Little luxury like these is what makes the quality of my life better. So the point is, if One can afford it than Y not.

I think at minimum if people really want to upgrade coz they can, every 2 years should show some significant improvement. Upgrading every year just seems insignificant because tech has come a long way. But i came from iPhone 11 to 15 pro max and that was a massive upgrade for me personally. Next iPhone I will buy will probably be an iPhone 18 or 19. Sticking to a 3-4 year upgrade cycle, but that’s just me. Nothing wrong with upgrading every year especially if you can sell the previous model year iPhone and get cash towards the latest model.

I upgraded from a 14PM to a 16PM 2 days ago. I had no complaints with the 14PM I just switched because of an offer that was given to me and my fiance at a carrier and we went for it. She jumped from the 12PM and I know she will definitely feel the difference between her old phone and her new phone. In my case I really don’t feel any change except for battery. My 14PM had 87% max capacity after 1.5 years and didn’t last as long as one would think but it really was a good phone overall. Over delivered on every task I asked it to do. If you think you are losing a lot of features by saving money on the 14PM instead of just going straight for the 16PM you really aren’t. Just letting you all know.

Pro commercial Photographer here. The camera improvement just looks like a minor software tweak. I’m looking for a reason to upgrade from my iPhone 14 but I’m having a hard time finding one.. I don’t care about benchmarks. The camera interface is a gimmick. Most people won’t use it.. Chopping a 12 megapixel Photo into 48MP doesn’t bring any more clarity to speak of. There is no artificial intelligence in this phone.

[@sangotade]

Im a photographer too and its not minor. The software change is major. Its almost like they are letting you edit the jpeg processing phase. The photo styles are non destructive so thats a huge difference. I wish i could have that level of control of the jpeg processing on my a74 like you get on fujifilm.

[@sangotade]

Also your get the preview and can make the style the default but can edit it after the fact as if it were a raw photo

[@Weather_Nerd]

For one, chopping a 48mp into 12? Starting with the 15 Pro they offered a 24mp mode and it 100% makes a difference for the pixel peepers. The ultra wide has been upgraded on the 16 Pros. Otherwise, it probably is neural engine improvements and a commonly seen difference between 15 Pro and 16 Pro is less shutter lag so there’s that. My 13 Pro photos in good daylight look indistinguishable from the newest top tier phones don’t expect to see many changes there beyond the 24mp mode helping preserve detail when zooming or cropping. It’s moderate and low light where the 14 Pro and higher pulls away from my phone. Gone are the days of massive changed every year. Gone are the days of upgrading every year unless you absolutely need to. Most run these phones for 2-5 years easy and for good reason. I should throw in here that my wife’s iPhone SE 2020 (iPhone 11 internals using iPhone 8 battery and camera lens) takes daylight photos that rival my 13 Pro. Another example of why we shouldn’t expect huge gains, small sensors will always have their limits.

[@dannybeeh6332]

@@Weather_Nerd Having upgraded from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 13 Pro, and now a 15 Pro, I can say the camera between the 8 and 13 Pro is not even close to being the same. The camera improvements each year are absolutely noticeable, especially side by side, and over 2 or more years it is a night and day difference. The question is literally, "are the upgrades worth my hard earned cash?" No need to gaslight yourself about an older phone being as good as a new one, instead, tell yourself that having slightly better detail in the shadows or the sign at the edge of your photo appearing sharper isn't worth a week's wages 🤣

[@gc2141]

Currently have the 14PM 1TB, already have the 16PM 1TB in transit. Two reasons why I’m upgrading: 1) ditching the lightening cable to the universal USB-C and 2) AT&T offered to pay off my device and give me an additional $500 trade credit. Plus they have the new AT&T program instead of paying 50% off the device you pay 33% to trade in early for an extra $4 vs the $6 I was paying. It’s truly sad Apple flopped this year with this phone. They need to do better. Bring back the fingerprint scan! Make a bigger iPad to compete with the ultra tab from Samsung. Adding an “extra” button is not innovative. Cumbersome now if anything with accidental triggers. And this “Apple intelligence”? Absolutely no reason to rebrand Siri. Clearly Apple forgot they were one of the first to bring such to the masses even since the iPhone 4s 10 years ago. Siri walked so Alexa, google, Mercedes, etc could run. Why not re-emphasize on that instead of “Apple intelligence”?

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is still a fantastic performing phone. Also, my iPhone 15 Pro Max is recovering from being hot after less than a minute of doing heavy stress tests. The iPhone Pro Max literally does not have heating problems like it used to. Normally, the phone runs cool. When I place it in front of a fan, the phone stays cool even if I upload multiple 4GB videos on Instagram. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is marginally better in terms of gaming percentage.

Hey guys, don't usually comment on your videos, but thought I would add my thoughts. Typically I'm not a heavy user. I typically upgrade my phone maybe every 3 to 4 years depending on if the new one has a feature I need, or want improvements too, or if my battery is having issues. For example my current 15 Pro Max was my upgrade from a 12 Pro Max, and the 12 Pro max was my upgrade from a 7 plus. Typically the iPhone is a tool and communications device for me first and camera and portable media player second. I typically buy the pro Max as the larger screen is good for me having low vision, and I'd rather pay for features I may not use, and not need them over needing them and not having them.

So true but next year they be buying 17 and he happy. I’ll be skipping 17 cause I’m on odd years. I get the refined phone. Most people upgrade every 2+ years not yearly. Mean hey if I was rich I’d upgrade yearly cause I’m into tech but not cause there’s massive leaps. It just really sucks cause every time it’s my upgrade year it’s people moaning about how it’s stupid and Apple should just move to 2 year cycle, they’d be angry however if Apple did that starting now and skipped next year.

my desert titanium 16 promax came this morning I’m so excited to get off of work and test it out 😊

[@doub7emusic43]

basically, if you don't write the model under the photos, it's difficult to understand if it's 15 or 16! except in slow motion which is used once every 300 videos!

[@kamillem802]

I think my favorite test was the steel nomad light and thermals. It’s not an exact replica to a high intensity game at length, because this test pushes it much further than any game. But it’s a great representation of the 16 promax ability to sustain performance much better. I’ve noticed it on my phone when playing lengthy amounts of death stranding. It’s noiiiice

[@janicewells925]

they should really consider updating icloud ,storage and find my phone for any accidental misfortune !

[@mdex1]

Only worth upgrading if you;re a couple of versions behind, unless a new button and different colours are you’re thing, and if they are you have too much money to waste 😂

[@Hisamudheen]

Speakers 15 Pro Max ✨🔥

[@windrangerdota2535]

People talking about not changing their 15pm to 16pm and what comes down to is that you don’t make enough money to do that, so skip the video (that you should’ve never watched to start with) and keep saving money to next year you can upgrade 🙂

[@KahlilFredricks]

I’m definitely holding on to 15 pro max cause I just got it at December last year 2023. It’s still a fantastic iPhone after I trade my XS Max to the next.

[@MinionProductions1]

as someone who is using a 15 pm, I’ll just wait for another major iPhone update

[@Jessica-Jade]

How is the 15PM? I’ve got the 11 and I am due an upgrade but don’t know if to get the 15PM or 16PM.

[@MinionProductions1]

@@Jessica-Jade Definitely go for the 16 PM My experience with the 15 PM was great honestly, the only reason I’m not upgrading was because I’ve had the 15 PM since release

[@Jessica-Jade]

⁠@@MinionProductions1 does the phone last longer and better when you get near release day??

[@MinionProductions1]

@@Jessica-Jade not really, the battery lasts best if the max capacity is 100%

Thank you for the honest opinion.

[@joev4033]

Upgrading from 13 PM i love the 16 PM so far

[@vladi385]

It is absolutely shameful what Apple did to the iPhone 15 Pro Max how bad apparently it is even though I have it and it is absolutely beast

[@JTP2579]

If you have 15 (USB C), wait 4 years to upgrade. So far, the biggest thing IMO is USB C support because its compatibility with ton of accessories and devices.

[@itsarabunu2251]

Very nice thermal management review

[@guylugenbeel]

Will you do a test when moving between WiFi and cell? I believe you did last year comparing 14pro max and 15 pro max. The 14pro max moved so slow between the 2 signals and your test proved it with the 15pro max last year. I almost upgraded because of it.

[@kingfisch]

I’m actually a bit more impressed with the larger screen and the smaller bezel than I thought I would be. I also think that the camera speed is better. I thought it was really laggy on the 15 PM.

[@Tady-it5fi]

Camera is laggy? WTF dude😂😂😂😂🤡🤡

[@michaelwoolcock5600]

I have a friend who had the lovely blue titanium 15 pro last year who is buying a 16 pro this year. He is going to get £510 back for a trade in. I almost wanted to say: “So you are paying £580 for an extra button? Got it….”

[@ryans4041]

You nailed it! I have the 15p max and looked at the trade in value towards the 16pm and said so what am I actually paying the difference for? The new photo button? No thanks I am good.

[@chrisanderson9981]

Marked battery life improvements (hours more), less lens flare and other camera, mics, and thermal improvements, did you actually bother watching the video?? some of it is incremental but it's definitely not just a button. I have a friend like you who would try to suck out the fun just to justify why they aren't taking an upgrade.

[@ryans4041]

@@chrisanderson9981 it’s just a button for me. I’m not here to speak to rationalize for your friend or to “suck out fun”! You want it go get it! My battery life in mine is great, I never noticed the lens flare as an issue, the mics were never an issue and I game on my pc, AVP, series X or ps5 so thermals don’t even impact me. So for ME it’s a button. If for you, you want to get it go for it. I rather wait for the M4s MacBooks

[@ryans4041]

@@chrisanderson9981 for my use case it’s just a button. My battery life is still great, the lens flare is something I didn’t have a problem with, the mic hasn’t been an issue since I use external mics and thermals don’t matter to me because for gaming I use my PC, AVP, series X and ps5. I purchase for my own use case, not others. So if my opinion or your friend’s use case “sucks out fun” then maybe you should purchase based on your own requirements and not others.

[@michaelwoolcock5600]

@@chrisanderson9981 I am not stopping anyone having the upgrade. I would understand if it was a jump from the 12 or 13 to the 16 BUT to lose about half the value you paid for something to get an upgrade is a kicker. I have used the 15 pro and it’s a great phone. I guess my philosophy is that you don’t upgrade a product based on how good the new one is. You should base it on how bad the product you currently have is.

[@JohnTube2K]

Nice to see Valuetainment show up in your feed

[@johnkurek3948]

I’m a photographer and use my phone to connect to my canon all the time to view photos and even edit for social media post or to send them to family and friends on the go so I was really hoping the screen,camera as well to be a night and day difference and upgrade from the 15 pro max not happening… i haven’t had my phone overheat ones yet… maybe from getting a later model 15 pro max not sure

[@jmcastro8621]

Holy crap these differences are minimal. I know you’re trying to hype up the 16 but dang I couldn’t tell the difference between the speakers and screens.

[@romanromero5099]

Throw back iOS 17.6.1 on iPhone 15 pm and repeat the test, the iOS 18 reduced the performance of 15 PM artificially. 🤧

[@BalaEzhumalai]

Nice comparison video Bro, Cool 👌.

[@allenpreval8598]

Desert looked really pink in person

[@FriedChairs]

I have the desert titanium. I don’t see any pink. Must be one of those dress is blue / yellow situations.

[@BeesonsCars]

I compared my Desert Ti 16PM to my Gold 14 PM and it is noticeably pinker. It very much looks more rose gold in certain lighting conditions. I actually love the color in person and it looks way better than photos would suggest.

[@thewishmastur]

Yeah I am returning it for a different colour

[@Antimonious]

I love it. It's super subtle

[@editaburzinskaite8983]

Where do you guys see all that pink? There's zero pink in it. The bezels are sort of copper-coloured, the back is off-white with a slight tint of yellowish-orange (hence the "Desert" Titanium).

[@CIRCLEOF4TRESS]

Great and honest review.

[@richardhowell9535]

Ordered the 16 pro max today. I’m running the 14 pro max, currently.

[@sly2792004]

Same. It’s most common upgrade then it’s people coming from 13 and 12. Then people from 11 or 10. People who upgrade yearly are in tiny minority according to all the statistics and polling.

Please do a thorough review of the Pro as well, thermal, speaker differences between the Pro and Pro Max

[@Mister_MasterzRN]

I would be curious to see how the bench mark performance will reflect once all of the Apple Intelligence software features are added.
