@@drishyarijal6877you’ll regret for not getting max … I bought 13 pro when it launched band since then I wanted a bigger screen … just for the bigger phone I’ll have to now buy 16 pro max … if I had buy 13 pro max then I would have never buy 16 max
I got a S24 Ultra after being on iPhone for 11 years and had to return it, the UI on Samsung is terrible, you can’t even do dark mode on TikTok and the post processing ruined all of my high megapixel photos. I have a iPhone 15 Pro Max on its way I can’t wait 😁
No dark mode on tiktok isn't Samsung's fault. I emailed them about this weeks ago and said they're "actively expanding its availability to include all users in the near future". In short, tiktok themselves are the ones responsible for not making the feature more widespread
I upgraded 4 months ago from a 3-year-old iPhone 12 128gb white to a iPhone 15 Pro 256Gb natural titanium and it’s amazing and better in every way, the 120 hz is absolutely incredible and i didn’t want the max version, knowing i would sacrifice the battery which is not the best but not bad either
I have 15 Pro, and I want to get 15 Pro Max because of big size. My hands are cramped holding the pro. I’m torn between waiting for the 16 PM and getting the 15 PM now!
Sure if you have small soft hands and like small phones. 😂 Sorry couldn’t help myself! I have to run the max for the battery. I use my phone quite a bit for work and need the extra battery.
I took the plunge a week ago upgrading to the 15 Pro Max from the 14, and I am very happy I did. I know the 16 will have a couple of incremental updates but I think the 15 Pro Max is perfect for me as it is, with more than enough capabilities and battery for my usage over the longer term. I would advise people to wait for the 16 range to come out, but for me specifically the 15 Pro Max is perfect.
@ 11:27. It is my understanding that there can be ‘sort of’ a split screen effect in certain cases? I saw it in some video, but don't remember what it was. Might check into it? 😊👍
Is the split screen feature something they can simply add to the software or is it something to be built into the phone. In other words are the 15 capable to have split screen or is it something that will have to wait for newer phones now?
@ 13:51 tells the story right there; You used the 15 PM much more, and battery life VS cycles is twice as much as the 15 Pro, but it is actually better, considering the user experience, and screen size, and the remaining capacity!
I had the 12 pro max for 2 years then got the 15 Pro. I love the portability & fits better in my hands. I still use my 12PM for watching videos & games. Trading it in for a 16PM.
I own 14 pro and i love the compact size so my phone xt upgrade will be either 16 pro or 17 pro. I dnt need big battery. I just need all max camera specs on pro
GOD Bless ya Nick Ackerman! It’s Reviews like these that help someone like me that is torn betwixt the PRO and Pro Max. I got a cheap OtterBox case for the Pro Max on clearance, to try it out for size, to see how it fit my hand, and fit in the Cell Phone pockets of my Dickies pans, and Wrangler shorts, etc. I’m 6’-3” or so and wear large/ Extra Large gloves, so the extra sze shouldn’t be an issue. I do like the portability of the regular Pro, but the extra battery capacity and 5X zoom, almost seals the deal. I think I will be exchanging the 15 Pro, for the PM, before my 15 Day exchange period is up. ( I have not been blown away by the battery life of the 15 Pro, but it is not terrible either. ). Take care! 👍
Hi, i recently got an iphone 15 and it already has burned in the battery icon and wifi one, is it common or should i try to get it fixed with apple care?
The naming is now flawed. They called it 15 pro "max" and the max stands for bigger phone and nothing else but this year the max has not only bigger display but 5x telephoto sensor that the pro does not have so technically its not a bigger 15 pro anymore unlike all the other iPhones before this. 15 pro should've also had 5x telephoto not the 3x one. The NAMING IS FLAWED.
I have a 15 pro from February 2024 up until now and I am at 230 cycles with a 95% battery health and my battery life is just awful loosing about 10 to 11% an hour
Hey Nick I love your channel. I was wondering what your personal SIM card is in - what’s your daily driver ? If you could only have one iPhone or Samsung which would you pick ?
Interessantes Video. Also ich bin mit meinem schwarzen 15 Pro Max zufrieden. Aber wegen der Kamera Hardware, da muss Apple was tun! Die Video Qualität ist großartig, die wurde erheblich verbessert gegenüber dem 14 Pro Max, vor allem ProRes 4K 60 FPS sieht toll aus, aber die Datenmenge ist zu gewaltig. Daher wären 4K 120 FPS besser. Ansonsten punktet das 15 Pro Max bei Videos mit Fünffach Zoom und dem Lautsprecher sowie der Schnelligkeit. Leider neigt der Prozessor A17 Pro zu Überhitzung.
sadly my 15 pro max battery health is draining very bad. reach work place around 10 am at 80% ( battery lock ). only look at it couple of times. 4pm, it left 30%. And im not even a phone gamer. This November it should be full 1 year already. The health now is 96%. Compare to my friend who got the 15 pro max way more earlier than me and game all day, his one still 100%. lol
I've been happily using a Galaxy S22+ for the last two years until recently where I've gotten a few green and pink lines over it. I've been an Android guy for years but I'd like to upgrade to a 15 Pro and be done with buying new sets for a couple of years. I know iPhone have great longevity compared to Androids I'm also interested in the recent updates on emulation on iOS. I like emulating PS2, Wii, PSP games on my Android. Emulation is a bit behind on iOS but I'd like to see it get better.
Does anyone here owning the 15 pro suffer with microlags or stutters while scrolling instagram or any other app ? Also how is the battery life and heating issues ?
@@Dr.KenzoTenma haven’t had that problem at all, try hard reset and uninstalling and installing. The battery has been insane!! At the end of a heavy day i have 30%.
How are you at 94 cycles ?? And on Beta and have 99% life. Me on the other hand was 75 on 99% and after updating to 18 beta 3, my phone heated up and life went down to 98% at 88 cycles
Um…either you have a faulty battery or you’re charging it wrong. I’m at 103 cycles and 100% life. You shouldn’t let it charge above 80 ideally, and shouldn’t let it dip below 20%
How u used the 15 pro max for 9 months and u only have 99 circles on battery charging ? That’s not even possible. My only month mf using have 33 circles
@@ccarazay I believe that u didn’t use it almost for a month . It’s nearly impossible if charge it from zero to 100% that’s a full circle of charging . If u count one charge per day it must be more than 100 circles

From 11 pro ( 2019 ), now 15 pro. Next upgrade will be 19 Pro
go for 20 because in Iphone 20 I think there will be some new innovation like Iphone X (full screen display).
wait for 20.
They skipped iPhone 9, so idk about 19💀
I remember how I really waited for iPhone 9 cuz it is my fav digit, but X came and I was like: wtf?

Great review, shows both pros and cons on both phones👍👍👍I5 pro all the way
I feel like having the 14 Pro is enough for me. It's more than capable of doing anything I'd need it to do.
So you’re not interested in apple intelligence when that comes out
@@wolfsaints In future, maybe. We'll see. I am content with my iPhone 14 Pro for now.
@@d1fferen7 so you don't see the benefit / point of upgrading lets say to a 16 pro etc

Great comparison!
So do you think is worth to wait 2 months or get cheaper 15 pro max ?
it’ll be even cheaper in 2 months
If they keep making these phones any larger, you’ll need a bag to carry it around in.😂

I have the iPhone 14 and my hands make this phone look tiny
I had 12pro max sold it for 12 pro found it very uncomfortable but I’m now back on 15 pro max it’s way nicer to hold really like the size now .
Yeah the larger phone will definitely be better for some for sure
The extra $200 scores better camera, bigger battery and double the storage plus a bigger screen. That is a decent list of items for $200.
iPhone 15 Pro & 16 Pro next. Plus the 16 Pros are getting a tad larger and heavier yet again.
It’s worth the extra money for the larger battery. 1,000 + mah difference.😊
