I own a 15 pro max and I have some reasons that are important to me for doing so. For context, my previous phone was the 13 pro. And to be frank, it was more than enough phone. I did not need any more “powerful” of a device. But there were a few things that were valuable enough to me to upgrade to the 15 pro max. 1. USB-C. Everything else I own is usb c, and I had been very impatiently waiting to get my phone on it too. I also wanted to bigger screen. You might think that I could have gotten the 15 plus instead but Apple in all their greed didn’t put a high refresh rate display on the non “pro” models. I will not go back to 60hz. I can tell the difference doing almost any mundane thing. Lastly, I really really like the titanium frame. My 13 pro was heavy. Despite being lighter than the 15 pro max, it felt heavier in the hand because of the density. The edges were also sharper and dug into your hand more. That’s all to say that the 15 pro max is pretty much my perfect phone minus apples absolutely ridiculous “Dynamic Island” garbage. It’s so much more camera than I need. I am not a photographer. In fact I barely take any photos. Assuming apple will let me periodically replace the battery, I have a hard time imagining apple releasing a device that I feel the desire to upgrade to. I think this phone will last me at least 3 generations provided I don’t destroy it along the way. Here is to hoping!

OZZ MAN FINALLY TALKING ABOUT APPLE

[@mcp12300]

this same mentality also applies to "real cameras" my daily driver is a panasonic LX-100 a compact camera from Sep 2014, 10 years ago! and it still takes great photos because I don't do high speed sports photography or astro photography or anything like that that really pushes the technical limits of the sensor or lens. I just take landscapes and urban photos, at human scales, that has honestly been a solved problem since the 60's. so my comparatively fancy camera with ultra high iso compared to film or my one finger optical zoom control so I never need to swap a lens out. it's all just quality of life features; most people that use a camera really could use old equipment and some good technique and still get amazing shots.

I see that iPhone 8 Plus filming it XD unless it’s a 7 Plus - I’m in the middle of the video so idk if you mention this yet lol I do notice the quality differs in motion and stuff, the newer ones are much better. Edit: BAHAHAHAHAAA I CALLED ITTT

As a user of a iPhone SE for about 2 years, I can tell you my biggest gripes with it are 1. Screen to body ratio is absolutely awful by today's standards. The size of the phone as a whole is great, but the screen size isn't good. 2. Lightning. All of my other devices use USB-C, it sucks having to carry another cable just for one device. 3. It tends to get hot, like the cooling isn't nearly enough for the SoC. 4. Battery life isn't the best. The battery is a fine size, but the SoC is much less efficient that modern iPhones. 5. The speakers are really not as loud as they could be. However, there are some good things, like 1. It's still getting updates. 2. It's still reasonably fast. 3. Fingerprint reader. 4. It does have 5g. 5. It can do 4K30 (not 4K60 btw)

Guy says using a real camera is overly complicated and bulky then goes ahead and accessorizes and bulks up the phone anyway.

[@servissop151]

Look at the difference between the phone with a case and that giant mirrorless

[@Nero3S]

@@servissop151 did you not see the case he’s gonna put on it with a grip. Looks huge. I’m not saying they are equal it just seems like a weak justification for the purchase when he already has the 15pm

[@adre2194]

Have you ever used a professional camera? Those things are no joke. You have to control a ton of shit manually and it takes some fair technical knowledge to actually know what you need to set for the best photo. The UIs are also really unintuitive for the unaccustomed and they generally just take a lot of knowledge to operate. ...also what does adding a case have to do with this actually? He mentioned a case to make it easier to hold and stuff, it's still just a phone lol

[@sallytheuselessbird]

​@@Nero3Sdid you just compare putting a case on a phone to that space age looking piece of technology

[@Wonderland2097]

@@servissop151 There’s plenty of small, lightweight yet powerful digital camera’s out there these days often a lot cheaper n higher quality than most phone cameras, they’re a pretty popular category amongst vloggers. But, it just seems he wanted an iPhone more than he wants a camera which is fine but for some reason he used his chunky mirrorless to defend that choice lol

cant wait to see jerry destroy it with the slightest bend

Give me a one advantage to buy an iPhone instead of a Galaxy.

[@IdiotRace]

no

[@TheSpeedOfVideo]

No pre installed bloatware

[@Sohryu-Asuka-Langley]

Coming from both sides - Apple tends to give you some software for free, and their stuff is generally more polished. Samsung tends to have more features, though sometimes they're not as polished. I guess it's kinda like comparing an SUV to a truck though. They both can do the same thing, one has more utility that you may or may not use, the other has a more polished and secure experience.

[@TheM0nkeyBomb]

Okay good points. But y'all forgot that android can side load everything, unlike the iPhone.

[@XraptorXD]

@@TheM0nkeyBombthen do whatever you want? free market

[@gamestechvideos]

Nokia still makes phones if yours is getting slow you can get a Nokia c110 for like $40 in the US

[@biscuitygudness]

dude stop buying from apple if you dont like their business practices and like 90% of their products. you said it yourself, you ALSO do not need this phone. you're starting to be so wealthy that the way you're purchasing tech and showing it off even though you know it's a nugget is alienating your audience. at least it's alienating me, some stranger on the internet. not to be rude, but make up your mind for god's sake

[@udenszirnis1644]

Did you watch the video? He is not using it as a phone, it's literally just a camera. A nice camera. His flipphone is a better phone than the stupid expensive Apple thing, said so himself.

[@Alxium]

I still use an iPhone XR. All I had to do have the battery replaced for $90 and that was it. It still works, does all I need, runs fast, and even supports iOS 18 (not that I am going to update right away). Oh, and the camera is still great.

[@mikey4866]

7 seicnd

[@bluppy1]

actually 13

[@InvisibleSquids]

My wife has that camera as her main. She's shot weddings, hundreds of cats, thousands of flowers, and a few senior students. Even though shes experienced enough to know exactly how the photo is going to look without seeing the screens, she *still* wants a Sony Xperia for the camera.

[@tmzilla]

I want a phone with huge bezels, made of plastic that has a dozen buttons

[@IronMinerKing]

Oh wow the only thing that is new about this phone is that it’s bigger.

[@Lorentz_Driver]

Funny how no one noticed the base model Iphone can't even se filters now.

[@ante.]

the way i combat doom scrolling is making my screen black and white, makes content alot more lame to scroll through

[@deathbringer2000]

i didn’t even notice a difference in quality between the usual stuff and the 7 pro. i’m SHOCKED.

[@SilverDragonJay]

I do find it funny that we still call these "phones" when a phone is the last thing people actually buy these for anymore. They're just pocket computers and cameras, the phone is an extra, bonus feature. And yeah, I know people have been saying this for ages, this isn't a fresh take by any means, but it never gets less accurate. Guarantee, ten years down, there's going to be some kid going to their mom and being like "why do we call these phones?"

[@dottedboxguy]

i've been using an iphone 7 up until a few days ago when it finally die after all the years, and it really worked fine, never changed the bat, screen, anything. it just worked, up until it decided to not charge anymore, but i still got like 8 years out of it. now i have an iphone 8 and it works just as well, i literally see no difference at all

[@CaptainRex332]

I love how I found this video right after I just setup a iPhone 16

[@nitricoxide1]

It's not about the quality, it's experience. I love that mindset.

[@faenethlorhalien]

If it's got the same overheating issues and "recording stops after 30 minutes" bullcrap, then it's landfill fodder.

Apple (to Wade):”You could not live with my failures, where did that bring you? Back to me.”
