What are your thoughts on the pro max when zoomed between 3x to 4.9x? Will it be lower quality than the pro?

[@cradilyz]

macro is cropped wide lens, then its just cropped using main lens till 3rd lens (120mm for pro max) its gonna look like shit, dont get fooled by the "7 lens" its got 3 and crops for the others

[@Ankcientgamer]

I've watched some videos recently from professional photographers, and they're calling this 7 lens marketing gimmick nonsense. It's just cropping, plain, and simple. It's cropping with a setting 😅 I'm sticking with the 14 pro for a while. I'm not feeling this upgrade.

[@Evil.Totoro]

Upgrading from the 12pm, it’s still a fantastic phone, but it has two major shortcomings i hope the 15pm fixes. The first being the 12pm extreme screen dimming when in hot environments making it impossible to see it when outdoors in the summer. The second being the constraint and image quality differences between the ultra wide camera and the other two. Plus I am so happy a pacific blue like colour is back.

[@whitenbald]

Tired of people saying that the 48MP sensor on the 15 is the same as the 14 Pro. It is not. Not sure where everyone is hearing this. The 15 Pro has the same 48MP sensor as the 14 Pro. The 15's sensor is smaller in size.

[@ScratchcardsWithScotty]

I totally agree and it shows people saying the 48MP Sensor on the 15 Pro is the same as the 14 Pro don’t have Scooby Doo Clue what they are talking about…

Hi Anthony and Paul! I purchased your 30 Day Course Creator program (30DCC) and just want to say thank you. I'm 70% through the program and I'm totally impressed. You guys really know your stuff and cover every aspect required to succeed. Cheers from Canada!

Fantastic! Glad you’ve enjoyed it!

[@imrannasibov]

I am iPhone 12 pro user right now. I was very excited about new 15 pro series, but this time apple has shown us only development rather than innovation as it was doing before. But I think the camera changes are enough to upgrade to 15 pro max from my current phone. Thanks you for the video, it was extremely useful❤

[@MrPaulXavier]

I agree with your perspective 🔥

[@Duffster115]

I'm very similar in regard to the fact I'm very excited to get my Iphone 15 pro Max wich I got in titanium blue from the 12 pro I currently have because I decided to get the pro max to have the bigger and better camera improvements and the many other improvements made to the 15 pro max! Im so excited for it!

[@DoktorElmo]

The camera „upgrades“ aren’t upgrades at all, I really suggest to watch one of the several critical videos about the 15 pro/max cameras (look for „disappointing & misleading), they will explain in great detail why this is a downgrade - especially when you want to use e.g. the 77mm focal length.

[@artfartzy]

@@DoktorElmo Any specific video you can recommend? Would like to see the critics what they have to say. Id say the 15 pro max def. have camera upgrades, it's also the small things inside the phone. The new design of the 5x zoom is an upgrade and should give better quality than the old 3x. Also new coating for the lenses to minimize lenseflares. Nightmode has also been improved on the 15. I know it doesnt have the x3 77mm focal lense but then you get a 5x 120mm instead.

[@strongnerd4638]

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max… last year was the first I hadn’t upgraded my iPhone since the iPhone 8. Not sure if I should upgrade. I want the 5x zoom and USB-C but next year will be the 5 year design refresh so not sure yet. Price for 2x extra and a port that makes me carry one less cord around isn’t a deal breaker. Might just wait. Still debating with myself lol. I’m sure many are as well.

[@Borderbeach]

Same here. Ive got 13pro. Got my hands on 15pm today and it is a big difference. It has so much nicer screen since its a lot brighter and hdr is better, 5x tele was amazing, usb c would be nice but the build quality was such a surprise. It was so much lighter in hand than I though and it had much more premium feeling to it. I thought it cant feel more premium but it does… a lot.

[@mjsabie8517]

0:52 this is an error. The regular models get a 48 MP sensor but it is not the same as the pros from last year. It’s a smaller sensor size with a wider aperture 4:00 you can simply swipe left from the Lock Screen to get to your camera faster on the iPhone

[@rmcf3972]

Is the regular iphone 15 48mp better than the iphone 14 pro?

[@mjsabie8517]

[@jernaugurgeh451]

I'm thinking of upgrading my trusty old iPhone 8 Plus... I have previously thought that spending over £500 on a smartphone is crazy (I got my 8 Plus pre-owned), but the iPhone 15 Pro Max seems like a seriously impressive piece of technology across the board, even at over double what I would've been prepared to spend in 2019. Being able to buy it with 3 years interest-free PayPal Credit from my usual tech retailer sweetens the deal somewhat :)

[@clintgolub1751]

If you consider it’s your main camera, and a damn good one at that in myriad conditions from night-time to overcast, etc. it’s truly not that bad considering the old price of DSLR’s a decade ago.

Apple always gives you an illusion that the new iPhone will help you make great professional photos or videos, but in real scenario no one would ever use iPhone for a professional commercial.

[@GeologyDude]

Obviously, a true professional camera set-up is necessary for a professional commercial. Obviously, a professional will not show up to a commercial photo shoot with just an iPhone camera. But the iPhone does an awesome job for its size when lighting conditions are good. Many small businesses use the iPhone for their commercial videos, and the typical consumer is not able to differentiate/complain about the iPhone video quality--if the person behind the iPhone knows a reasonable amount about filming. Apple iPhone promos now are shot on actual iPhones. Obviously, that iPhone promo is supported by an incredible amount of extra equipment and specialists--that most people will not have. But most people don't have top end photography equipment either. The Apple promos prove what is possible with a simple iPhone, although it is not completely realistic.

[@XteVision]

I did upgrade from my old 7+ to the 15ProMax 1TB. Expensive? Yes! But I need a edc camera to match my other gear... so with prores AND blackmagic app on that action button... it's more than worth. Even indoor, I now get such a decent quality footage.... that looks BETTER in every respect to DR and fidelity than the first and second version of Arri D21 and Alexa 15 and 12 years ago. With that 24mm(26mm) lens and sensor, I just use that as a second angle camera in daily bread 'n butter tripod locked interview shots(yeah switch the stab OFF). For outdoor cityscapes I use the Pan's snap filter with -2 to -8 stop nd. I can see the log-footage blend well with todays alexa mini systems. The 13mm wide can be used as well IF THERE IS ENOUGH LIGHT. The long 120mm tele works resolution-wise best with locked iPhone on a proper stand and switched off stab. My personal conclusion... this promax is not everyones beer. But if you know the limitations and you lit up your scene... it look not tobshabby at all. Greenscreen with the normal lens is close to big rigs. Just take care of the flares... it will not disappoint even my gaffer

[@MrPaulXavier]

Love it!

[@RedheadLG]

Why do content creators on KZbin now consistently employ the camera angle from the side while the speaker is still facing forward technique? It’s really distracting, and makes the presentation feel gimmicky and less authentic. I understand wanting to look polished and perhaps breaking up the direct eye contact a bit, but there are better methods.

[@celestinac1105]

[@ghayes220]

Agree with you. I'll be getting the Pro Max.

[@MrPaulXavier]

[@the1stime]

The new stabilization & camera for the Pro Max is enough for me to upgrade. Thanks! What external hard drive do you recommend for shooting video with a gimbal?

[@MrPaulXavier]

They haven't released specific recommendations yet but I like the Samsung T7 shield.

[@25252525etrexft]

Wait until you start cropping in on that 120mm lens. The image will fall apart fast due to the 12 mega pixels sensor they have in it. The pictures at those zoom levels will be blurry as heck. They should have kept the 77mm lens and increase both the pixel count and optical zoom for higher image fidelity.

Thank you Anthony. May i know, if we still rely on main camera but add-on external lens (widelens , long macro, telephoto lens), is it there is no different between iphone 14 pro max and iphone 15 pro max? Since camera phone zoom may cause reduce resolution or quality, is it better just add-on external lens for main lens?

Thanks for this, it confirms that I should be very happy with the 15 Pro Max I ordered. The extra zoom, low light pics, and USBC were my tie breakers. It looks like it will be an even more massive upgrade from my Gen 1 SE (that I've got 6 years out of but is now dying) than I had appreciated. I've watched a few of your videos now to understand how best to use this. Hopefully I can make it last as long to justify the price (not being in the pool on my yacht ;) ).

[@Savvathan]

How did EVERY single KZbinr get this wrong? They said it clearly: Bigger main sensor COMPARED to the 15 models. The camera hardware on the 15 Pro didn’t change at all this year. This your job guys. Maybe pay more attention so that you don’t mislead people.

[@MarcinPalka]

Isn't it so that on the Pro Max there will be a "quality gap" in the zoom range beween 3x and 4.9x because the picture will be cropped from the main sensor and the resulting picture will be of sub-12mpix resolution? I am leaning towards the Pro Max but I am afraid that this zoom range that is prettry useful on day to day basis may be of inferior quality. I'd love to have 5x zoom but also want to have a good quality 3x.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yeah there will be a gap between 48mm and 120mm which is pretty big but I personally think 120 will be much more useful than 77mm

[@CruisingWithChooChoo]

I have a 13 PM and I’ve been debating whether I should upgrade to the 15 PM. I do a lot of wildlife photography but I use a DSLR with telephoto lens for that. I use my iPhone for landscape photography and videos and I like creating reels for Instagram and videos for KZbin. My 13 PM only has 128GB and thats just not enough storage especially when I’m cruising and am unable to transfer videos and photos while I’m at sea. So I’m thinking of upgrading for the telephoto lens and the increased storage 256 GB

I'm not big on waste or having the latest gadgets. Whether it be my car, clothes, camera gear and phone I tend to replace it only after I run it into the ground. However, with the release of 15 Pro Max being far more of a capable tool, now I'm seriously considering an upgrade.

if you crop into the 5x iphone image to get the same fov as the samsung 10x lens that only relies on optics i will bet the samsung will look better, as opitical always trumps digital

[@aliettienne2907]

I do believe that this iPhone 15 pro max has break some additional barriers to extend further in the realm of super high quality videos and photos. And it is exciting to know that we can record high quality content directly onto hardrives for faster transferability to our PC computers. Videographers and photographers will love and cherish the iPhone 15 pro max. Kudos to Apple for their remarkable achievement. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾 maybe Apple will integrate the special additional controls into the camera app as you have requested in relation to the cinematic mode.

nice video... with the new released Blackmagic Camera App for the Iphone I think the iphone 15max is going to be a winner update for sure....

[@The.JZA.]

Nice video. One correction: when they announced the main camera on the 15 Pro they said “even bigger than the iPhone 15” so they were comparing with the 15, not the 14 Pro. The 15 48MP sensor is smaller than the 14 pro and the 15 Pro has the same sensor and lens but with a new anti reflective coating. Along with the updated ISP (assumption), the much faster ML cores and tuned software, it should still be a decent upgrade from the 14 Pro. Lots of companies have used the same sensor year on year and still seem big improvements. Samsung used their 108MP sensor for 3 generations (correct me if I’m wrong) and Google has used the same 50MP sensor on a few phones.

[@The.JZA.]

Thanks for the input. I will be moving from a 12 pro max to a 15 pro, I think. I used the 12 last week at a wedding I shot for some last minute content and it convinced me to start using my phone more for video....now I have to learn editing and so upgrading seems like a no brainer.

What happens between the standard focal length and the 120mm lens in terms of quality?

[@Anonymous-mf8ii]

There’s another KZbin review by a real photographer that points out the misleading marketing of that telephoto lens as a ”zoom” lens. They said the quality of the 77mm equivalent digital zoom is noticeably inferior to the results produced by the older 77mm telephoto lens.

[@stefankolosko5824]

I have a 13 mini and love the size. I would like to upgrade, but I think the 15 pro max is too big and heavy. The size and weight of the normal 15pro is just about acceptable thanks to the use of titanium. I ask whether the better 5x zoom justifies the more uncomfortable handling. whether you really use the 5x magnification that often. For portraits, 3 times is perfect.

[@jejunamja]

I would encourage you to watch some other videos, talking about the camera there’s some other professional photographers that say the 5X is actually not that great because if you use somewhere in the 2 to 3 range, the quality won’t be as good as the 14 promax, and I am not explaining it right, but I would encourage you to watch some other videos about the cameras before you decide.

[@Borderbeach]

It was super light weight. I tried one today. Ihe got ip13pro atm. It had Alot brighter screen, tele 5x, it was so much smoother and I could really feel it when I took it to my hand, HDR screen was so nice compared to ip13 pro. Not sure if Im going to upgrade but it was so much better. Im really considering it

[@j0hn22]

giving up 77mm, a far more common portrait length, is a con of the Max no one talks about.

[@MrPaulXavier]

That's definitely a solid argument - In my eyes I'm way more excited about the bigger sensor, lower aperture, and enhanced stabilization than I truly am about the actual focal length itself. Even if you prefer 77mm to 120mm... for most content applications the 77mm wasn't that usable because it had inferior aperture, sensor, and stabilization compared to the new update.

Thank u for taking this important topic and I have a question. After most music venues and festivals stopped allowing people in even with point and shoot looking cameras like Sony rx100 I noticed that everyone at raves has now a Samsung phone because it is the next best option. Myself using iPhone 13 Pro added a Samsung s22 ultra just so I could take it to concerts and take photos with that 10x camera. I did find Samsung ultra photo quality overall better than my iPhone 13 Pro. But I had to carry two phones to every event. And as you hit the nail on the head, the 10x lens on Samsung is f4.9. Which means if I want to freeze a guitar player on stage I need at least 1/125 shutter speed or better so you are immediately in iso 3200 territory on such a tiny sensor. The photo degradation even if shooting raw and using topaz is too much. So I got really excited when I saw the 120mm f2.8 on the new iPhone. Can this new iPhone replace both my 13 pro and Samsung s22 ultra? How sharp is that 120mm f2.8 lens wide open? What is the sensor size difference between Samsung tele camera and this 120mm iPhone camera? F2.8 would allow me to keep the iso down somewhat in a typical concert scenario. I wish it was longer than 120mm but I don’t know if they could have kept It at 2.8 then

[@Sam-om8ph]

Does titanium add anything really significant? Most will get a case regardless so the question is, “Is the aluminum body with a case more susceptible to damage than a titanium body without?” If you’re going to get a case anyway, it seems as though the titanium body is simply a marketing ploy and another reason to jack up the price.

[@tracymotley9270]

Thanks Anthony, I have XS Max so I plan to upgrade to 15 Pro Max mainly because it’s time, would love to have access to better lens and camera and Also because I love that I don’t need to get 512 gig or higher phone, I can instead do 256 gig and rely on the direct record to external Hard drive via usb c cable feature. I also think some of the changes we’re seeing may have something to do with some of the relationships apple has with developers like the makers of DaVinci resolve and the like (I.e. color advancement standards and giving us more detail in shots to work with during post work) knowing content creators are wanting to do more with their devices. At this rate I kinda feel by the time we get to iPhone 18 and above apple might even impact sales for camera’s with crop sensors. We’ll see smartphones …. __… and then mirrorless cameras with full size sensors and little to no smaller number of non smartphone cameras with crop sensors being sold as a result. Time will tell though 🤔🤷🏾…😊.

What's your opinion, should I upgrade from iPhone 13 (not Pro) to iPhone 15 Pro Max for regular talking head videos?

[@MrPaulXavier]

All depends on your budget. It’s definitely an upgrade

[@BarbaSouEu]

smart hdr is not a new feature. is actually the 5th generation

So, in reality, the 120mm really isn’t a 120mm lens but a sensor crop… yes, the sensor has better image stabilisation but… I’m truly uncertain now about whether I should just keep using my iPhone 13 Pro as a camera and iPod, and buy the foldable phone I’m interested in or to upgrade to a 15 Pro Max.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So what is better 15 pro or pro max?

[@vegasrenie]

The only reason I ever upgrade from one iPhone to another is because of the camera features. Everything else is pretty much the same as far as I'm concerned. A phone call is a phone call and a text is a text. However, the cameras are next level. Especially since a lot of "extras" (such as filters, cases, etc.) are made especially for iPhone more than other brands. More than once, and as recently as this past Sunday, people have asked me as I am a professional photog. Which I'm not. I have skipped several iPhone iterations; however, this is the first time in years that I'll be going immediately from one version to the very next in iPhone 14 Pro Max to iPhone 15 Pro Max. I had a 12, but skipped the 13 because it did not impress me enough to want to upgrade. I went with the 14 because of the 48 megapixel lens. And now with the additional upgrades, I have to have the 15! So along with its world-class security features, I am chomping at the bit to get my hands on the 15 cinema capabilities. Can hardly wait! Edit to add: The zoom capability and the ACES color are draws for me. I'm one of those people who loves to go to sporting events (such as hockey, especially) but who doesn't want to spend $$$$ for on-ice tickets, and don't mind the semi-nosebleed seats. Having a better zoom option really means a lot to me, and since I'm retired with a lot of bills paid off, I think I can splurge on another Pro Max. 😊😊 Most important to me as I've mentioned before, is Apple's fabulous security stance. Plus it fits neatly into my Apple network environment that I set up for myself some 20 years ago. If Android had the same type of respect for customers' privacy/security, I would no doubt have a Samsung, because I think they are fabulous phones. Great video, by the way!

This is great! Enjoy your new phone!

Awesome! Thank you!

Hi Anthony, I purchased your 14-day content creator course and I absolutely enjoyed learning a whole lot from you - thank you! One quick question though - could you please tell me the exact microphone you used to record this video? I don't see any mic attached to your shirt or any in front of you close to your mouth. Yet, the audio is so good and clear. Would appreciate your response on this. Thanks

[@MrPaulXavier]

I'm using the rode NTG3 mounted just outside of the frame pointed at my mouth.

[@mannytv7485]

@@MrPaulXavier Awesome! Thank you so much

[@aarronluol]

I think it's definitely worth upgrade.

[@MrPaulXavier]

🔥🔥

[@Jo5ue1]

Have you ever tried taking pics with the Pixel 7 Pro?

[@angelotissera]

As always an amazingly informative video Anthony...not to mention super timely delivery ! This has really helped me make up my mind to upgrade to the 15 Pro Max at launch this Friday :) Thanks!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad it was helpful!

[@3693-u8d]

wow， is the log goin to give to 14promax？

[@Regantdarcy]

Apple lied. It’s not a 120mm lens in the iphone Pro Max at all. It’s still a 77mm lens…but Apple just crops in! The only difference is the new stabilization system which should make the tele image clearer…but it will be a CROP. Tony Northrup pointed this out in his latest video.

What is the brand name of the external drive for iPhones you mentioned? Can you share this setup details? Thanks 😊

[@brewbuilds]

great job Anthony! Thanks for all the info. 👊

[@MrPaulXavier]

No problem 👍

[@CarsTechWood]

So to be clear, there are ZERO hardware camera changes between 14 pro and 15 pro besides the lens coating? They have the EXACT same hardware minus the coating? Is that correct? Reviewers are all saying different things.
