iPhone 15 vs 15 Pro - Months Later Deep Detailed Comparison after 7 Months of owning both of these phones to help you decide which is the best pick for you if you are still deciding, if you have either iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro, share your experiences, questions, comments below and enjoy the content 😀🎥

I turned off 120 hz on my 15 pro, I care more about battery life than a little speed.

[@Pawcio2115]

Putting 60 Hz display on the iPhone 13-15 should be consider a crime

Why when the target customer doesn't seem to care

[@knowledgeinc2039]

​@@nickackermanchanneltarget customers should care because 60hz is unacceptable even cheap phones have 90hz

[@nickackermanchannel]

@@knowledgeinc2039 They do but also sacrifice in other areas, like the chips are slower, cameras are worse, build is not as premium. 90hz or 120hz doesn't make up for their lack of ecosystem, software support, premium cameras, and customer support like iPhone 15 offers.

[@knowledgeinc2039]

@@nickackermanchannel i have a iphone 13 and a cheap android phone. But refresh rate is the most noticeable thing in a phone. Sometimes I don't wanna use my iphone because it feels slow. Especially when every other device I own is over 60hz . They do this so people buy pro phones

[@nickackermanchannel]

Ive actually decided to get the 15 pro with 256gb memory this week cause my trade in credit for the 12 pro max is 370 bucks so I want to take advantage of getting the phone cheaper than waiting for the 16 and my pro max value would go down a lot

Hi!Sorry for my mistakes (english isn’t my native language).I heard claims that iPhone’s 120hz screens are actually stuck at 80-90 hz most of the time.What do you think about it,could it be true??

[@ilovelanadelrey3203]

Its not true. It lowers from 120 to 1hz

[@daa5014]

There’s no real reason to have to be limited to 60HZ in 2024. But once you’ve experienced 120HZ, it’s hard to go back.

[@nickackermanchannel]

Limited is subjective to the buyer, for example some of my relatives I tell them about 120hz and they say I don’t care about that, sometimes they ask what is that. Tech enthusiasts will care more, but I do agree once someone experiences that it is noticeable when going back

[@user-ue9sz5rj9w]

Take the Pro, but despite that, all the devices are old and 60 Hz. I personally find the 60 to be excellent

[@noobgamer-1999]

On android 100% , on Iphone you can barely see it , especially since its adaptive 120hz

[@GreatBeyond74]

I’d go for the 15 over the 15 Pro. Reason being I have a 13 Pro and promotion just makes the phone run warmer and battery die quicker. You get use to 60z when you use it awhile.

[@BabeiIlie]

I am gonna sell 15 pro and buy regular 15, or 16.....base models are better on battery life

[@existing_existence]

Would you recommend an ip15, an s23 or oneplus 12? Priorities are mainly battery life, gaming, best software possible and longevity (4-5years). Im getting the 15 at the cheapest price between these devices btw 😅

[@nickackermanchannel]

For longevity the 15, for battery OP12, gaming OP12, S23 shouldn’t be considered since it’s not the best for those categories you mentioned. The 15 Pro Max sounds like the perfect option for your needs.

[@Sheppydope]

I was using an s21 plus with 120hz, long story short it broke, then I moved to a phone with 90hz just for short term while I save up for a new phone. Looking into iPhones but where I'm from the 14 pro max prices haven't taken a dip only the 13 pro max is kind of affordable at around $940 minimum. So my options are 13pm, 14 plus, (14 pm and 15 plus only if the price drops after the 16s come out). Ohhh I meant to also state that I noticed the difference from 120hz to 90hz so I can't imagine 60hz with the standard iPhones

Hey Nick 👀what do you say you send a loyal watcher one of your 15 series phones. Just saying 😅

[@claxcz]

for me 120hz is still not a big reason to jump to pro from a base and its coming from a consumer who has multiple monitors that have 240hz refresh rates and still does editing works on a macbook air with 60hz and it still doesnt bother me much. Entertainment wise, streaming companies are still limited to 60 frames so having a 120hz does not make you see 120 frames.. It feels like there is not much of a usage or real upside of faster refresh rate on phones other than being it smoother for games and cycling thru apps but on daily usage to check social media, take a pictures, etc you barely notice anything. So I agree that it's an enthusiast phone and pro line up will always be an enthusiast phone line ups but heck if you can afford it without a doubt and dislike the 60hz that much then why not? But you know eventually they will move 120hz on base models.
