I bought the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 15 Pro to see if there was any possibility of switching back to a 6.7" device now that it's finally lighter than ever before. And while I found the 15 Pro to be a lot easier to use on a daily basis, the pros of the 15 Pro Max might have just outweighed the cons for the first time in years.
In this video, I review the iPhone 15 Pro Max vs the iPhone 15 Pro after nearly 1 month of usage, with a SIM card in each phone. We discuss the camera, battery life, performance, design, and much more. Enjoy!

Did you prefer the size of the Pro or Pro Max? 🤔
The pro. The pro max is too big😅
normal pro
Pro is bambooo
pro max size, for a max sized person
@@itravelfor9192 it's made of bamboo?
I went from a 13Pro to the 15Pro Max. I did it mainly for the 5x zoom and bigger battery, and I do not regret it. With a slim case it does not feel too big. It is definitely a bit taller than the 13Pro, but it doesn’t seem that much wider. No regrets and I’m loving it.
Which case do you use?
@@davidcl6290 Ringke Fusion with the matte clear back.
Same! Lighter on the hand and more battery!
@@davidcl6290 i bought a case from carved. about $60 looks good on it
i went from the 13 to the 15 pro max and i love it
I got my blue iPhone 15 Pro Max last week. Your array of videos helped me hit the ground running. It is a fantastic phone. I look forward to using the enhanced camera features on my cruise to Hawaii!
Has it ever heated up for you ? I'm thinking about buying would you recommend?
I hesitated while ordering, but I went for the Pro Max for the first time ever, and I couldn’t have made a better decision. Previous models always felt too bulky, even when I only touched them in the store. However, I had been thinking about really owning the Pro Max for some time because it’s the only way I can truly tell if it’s right for me. And it is. Just before placing the order, I visited the Apple Store to see how it felt, and I was surprised at how different it was from the 12, 13, and 14 with their sharp edges. Oh, and now, whenever I pick up my old 12 Pro, it feels like a weird and too small phone, even though I used to think it was the perfect size.
Yeah it’s a weird and awkward size. I’m currently on the 11 (getting my 15 Pro Max today!!!) It’s like…a small phone trying to be big. Way too big to be small, but way too small to properly enjoy content on. The size of the 11 still feels clunky in the hands, so if you’re going to use something like that, might as well get a screen size that actually makes sense…lol
Sounds like Munchausen's syndrome 🤣
Thanks Brandon, I switched from the Pro Max to the Pro. I like it much better in the hand but miss the battery and display. You’re right the pro max has been much lighter this year.
Still on the pro?
I had the 14 Pro Max, it was too damn heavy and bulky, so when the 15s came out I ordered 15Pro but I couldn’t get past the small display. Then I went to the Apple Store and held the 15ProMax in my hands, it was love at first sight. I exchanged the Pro for the ProMax and I’m SO HAPPY, I love it 😍
Go to a gym whimp omg….
Lol
Dude my wife has the 14 PM and she didn't complained once about the weight. Maybe your wrists and arms are just too small for such a phone?
Thanks for sharing your experience. I enjoyed the comparison. Blessings on your day!
I tried the 15 Pro Max but I honestly could not manage it. I went back and exchanged it for the smaller 15 Pro and I’m honestly really happy. I love the smaller more pocketable size. I know I took a bit of a downgrade on the cameras. But I’m not a big photographer anyways and I find myself using the Ultra Wide more than the Tele camera. I don’t regret going back to the smaller phone. If I want a big screen, I’ll use my iPad.
Good reasoning
Extremely helpful. Thank you very much.
Great video. I know people hate clutter on their phones, but even the Pro is too big for me to use single handed. I attach a ring or pop-up. I usually attach one under MagSafe and slightly closer to the right because I’m right handed. It really makes a difference.
I'm going for the iPhone 15 pro. I've noticed the smaller the phone the less I'll use it. I don't want to be glued to it. The pro also make it less cumbersome to handle such as running, texting, ect. It's easier to place it in smaller spaces such as car mounts and pockets. Yes it has a smaller battery, but I'll use it less too so it evens out.
i agree. i went from 13 pm to 15 pro and i can still get through the day just fine and i looove the form factor
I’ve just returned my iPhone 15 Pro and going back to the iPhone 13 mini. I love it too much.
@@anthonycraig274tf u smoking wtf
@@bruno_toxic7631same idk why these guys be talking about Battery life is good enough for me
@@Young_squeeze Have you ever used the iPhone mini 13? Do you actually own a iPhone 15 Pro/Max? Experience beats watching RUclips and assuming a conclusion.
Just upgraded from 12 Pro max (Pacific Blue) to 15 Pro Max today (white titanium). Loving it. Keep up the great work Brandon.
Nice choice. Waiting on my white titanium promax as. Returned the blue one.
I decided to give my 15 promax to my wife and I traded in her 14 Pro Max and purchased the 15 Pro as well as an iPad mini. 6 perfect combo. My phone is small enough to fit in my pocket and still do a great job with content but then I can consume most of my content on the iPad mini.
Yup at the end of the day the feel in the hand is still the best feature IMO that's why the smaller Pro is still the go-to.
💥 after coming from the 11 Pro, I was hesitant and choosing the 15 Pro Max and at first I thought I made the wrong decision but I am so glad that I bought that phone. After one week of owning it I can’t even tell that it’s a bigger phone but I know that every time I’m on it I’m viewing a larger screen. The size increase is not that much.
Very helpful video. Thanks.
Great review! Really enjoyed it!
I was always a Max guy, last year for the 14 series, I went with the 14pro. Told myself I would go max again this year, especially since it was going to be a little lighter with the titanium. Still getting use to the Max size again, some days I miss the smaller pro size, but I'm going to tough it out for the rest of the year.
I went from the iphone 11 to the 15 pro max and I love it. The iPhone 11 is just about the same width as the 15PM and it's a tad heavier but it's WILD having a phone with bezels this small.
I've had the 13, 14 and now the 15 Pro Max and I wouldn't have any other phone. I LOVE the larger format and since I'v never held any phone one-handed, it makes no difference to me. Another nice and informative video, Brandon. 🙂
Just get an S23 ultra... maybe you will change your mind... I know you will 😅
I appreciate your suggestion, but I am not an Android fan; never have been. I've had iPhone since the very first one.@@user-en1my6qz9z
couldn't agree more with your points!! thanks for all the added insights Brandon! :)
I'm a normal Pro type of person and this time I tried the 15 Pro Max. Sorry to say, but I still couldn't hang. It definitely feels substantially lighter than PMs I've handled in the past, but I'm all about that one-handedness and I simply cannot achieve such on a PM. I do wish I had that battery life though, that's the biggest advantage imo.
I think something like a 6.3-6.4 would be absolutely perfect.
I just received my pre-ordered iPhone today and saw this video. Your suggestions are so useful to me.
It's the width for me ...I was excited when I saw rumors that the pro max was gonna be narrower but then I held one and it's pretty ridiculous how much wider this phone is...
I just upgraded to iPhone 15 pro max from base model iPhone 13 because I wanted a bigger screen size for a long time now and man it’s so much better! I’ve been using my pro max for a week now and I’m so used to the size to the point that 6.1inch display for me is so small lol. It feels like a mini phone now🤣
Great Video, I will take this into consideration when purchasing my new 15 pro.
I went from the 13Pro Max 128GB to the 15Pro 256GB! I love it! Got tired of the weight and dropping it! The pro fits in my hands and pockets better too!
I rock an Apple silicone case and a Belkin screen protector with my 15 Pro Max as I did with my 14 Pro Max and it’s still much lighter in the hand this year. Portrait photos are outstanding with the 5x lens. Still haven’t figured out what I want to do with the action button but I do have the big hands required to reach that button.
We have the same set up. Maybe we may have the same color of the phone and case as well 😂
Dark Blue and dark blue to test your hypothesis
@@diegan23 nah i got natural and clay
Variety is a good thing.
I've always gone with Max sized phoned, this time I went with the non Max and I am so glad I did, it's so much nicer to use!
Thank you for you great video! I cannot agree more. I’m on biz trip a lot so I had to resort to the Pro Max since the beginning. This year the 15 pro max is just a dream come true. I had second thoughts about upgrading for my 14 pro max but, man, the contour of 15 pro max is how the pro max should’ve been in the past 3 years.
How many hours does the battery last while using
Brandon, your review of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is like a tech feast for us enthusiasts! 🤓 The way you dove into every aspect had me nodding along. And, of course, the PITAKKA MAGEZ CASE 4 is now the guardian of my shiny new gadget. Your recommendations are always on my tech checklist!
I’ve always had the smaller version but I’m 6’7 and decided to treat myself to the 15 pro max, very happy with my decision.
I have big hands. I’ve used the 12 PM, 13 PM, 14 PM, and now the 15 PM. Ever since I got my 12 PM I’ve used Back Tap for Control Center and Notification Center. It makes it so easy to get to those screens without having to reach the top of my iPhone. Even with big hands, one handed it’s difficult to reach the top
Good to see a different location! Makes the video more diverse. 😊
I’ve had iPhone 12 Pro since its release.
So happy to upgrade it to 15 pro max!
😅
Great work on the video!
The 15 Pro Max may be lighter but it isn't any less bulky. I have the 15 Pro
I’ve always bought the basic/standard iPhone but finally this year I decided to treat myself to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and i’m loving it. Love your videos and how informative they are! 🤗
Awesome! and thanks for the support 😃
I have never understood the weight complaining about phones. Just silly.
@@fxrojas22 It's not silly at all -- it depends on the person but some get wrist pain, and fatigue from some of the heavier phones.
I too always went with the regular version..did with the 11 and 12..I kept the 12 longer than I usually do, skipped the 13 and 14 but this year I went with the 15 Pro..and I’m thankful I did..
What do you like about it, because I am thinking about going to smaller phone. How it for you ? What do you like about it
Great vid, thanks bud.
Seriously…I was OUT on the Pro Max thanks to the 12-14. THEN I picked up the 15 Pro Max and the changes were felt INSTANTLY. So much lighter in the hand, doesn’t cut into your hand/pinky thanks to the rounded edges, much less slippery thanks to the titanium. So…here I am back with the Pro Max 😂
exactly my same scenario/thinking!!
Yeah it used to be too heavy to use but this year made me go big.
This really is the greatest iPhone yet! 😏
I had the same problem with 14 Pro Max, it was cutting into pinky and I returned it (phone, not pinky) next day. Knowing all changes in 15 Pro Max I would still pick 15 Pro, it's just way more comfortable size for me.
Absolutely agree.
I’ve always used the Pro max but this year on day one release I bought the 15 Pro but took it back after a day and stayed with the pro max.I did really like the smaller one but I’m a power user and even charge the pro max in the afternoon. The smaller pro battery just didn’t work charging this twice.
Always had the max, I have used the odd 6.1” iPhone whilst waiting for my upgrade to arrive and it’s far to small for me and I wouldn’t say I have big hands. The max sure is 2 handed but there’s to many pros than cons into choosing the max than its smaller pro.
I've gone from a 12 to a 15 Pro max and I love the battery life and the bigger screen. I don't think I could go back to a smaller screen now.
Upgrading from XR to 15 Pro Max today. SO EXCITED!
This is the best year by far to switch to the pro max, I’ve had the last 3 and this is the first time I can say it’s actually comfortable
The weight was the issue for me as well. I have the 13 Pro and compared to my son’s 13, the 13 is so much lighter. Since the 15 Pros are lighter, I may consider the Pro Max (still undecided).
Did you make the change?
Thanks ! Def helped my decision
In the exact same boat, always going with the regular- sized iPhone rather than the plus- sized one for the reasons mentioned. Decided to upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro Max from my iPhone 12 Pro, and it’s been amazing. Can definitely feel the weight reduction and increased comfort when holding it and it hasn’t been as much of a change as I thought it would moving to the bigger phone. The battery life is shockingly good, the bigger display makes my old phone’s seem tiny where it once seemed quite big, and the 5x camera is excellent at taking both landscape as well as portrait photos with the increased bokeh.
I'm pretty sure it's considerably heavier than the 12 pro....but good for u, if you're happy
@@jackdominiak445from what I’ve heard it’s the lightest pro max since the 11
As a previous android user swipe to text has been my default for texting so it’s always felt fine while texting. The weight is the best change
Been a pro max aince since the 11. Last year got both sizes to finally make up my mind after a full year splitting the day between them 2 (pro and pro max) then found the 14 pro to be the best choice. THEN….15 pro max came along and changed the game around in its favour again. So….the SOLE reason I am getting the 15 pro max this year is because it’s changed, and it’s for the better. At the end of the day….they’re both great phones! The best there is on the market
Went from an 11 pro max to the 15 pro. There’s definitely a major difference. The benefits I have enjoyed with the 11 pro maxwere strictly consumption based. Everything else, I’ve enjoyed the smaller size of the 15 prowhen it comes to portability, working out and general less footprint when I’m carrying the device around.
So would u recommend moving to the pro or pro max? I have an 11 pro max as well
I had the Pro Max since the iPhone 12 but this year I decided to switch to iPhone 15 Pro because I was tired of the hand-gymnastics and having to use in most cases two hands. When I switched this uear to the 15 Pro it felt weird, the 15 Pro was so small it felt like a toy in my hands. I have considered the 15 Pro Max because of the 5X Telephoto Lens but I don't really use zoom. I always wanted the max features that iPhone Pros offers that's why for so long have always got the Pro Max but the switch this year to the 15 Pro it's not bad its actually great after getting used to it again.
Bro so according to you is 15 pro max worth it? Should I purchase it or not?
@@yashrohilla1610 yes the 15 Pro Max is totally worth. It’s lighter than the the previous Pro Max (iPhone 14 Pro Max), it has the 5X telephoto zoom lens. The design has rounded corners so it’s easy to hold. The downside is that in many cases you’ll have to use two hands.
@@Bindi-li5cf hmm. Thanks bro ❤
You mentioned the shutter lag for 48mp photos is greater on the 15 pro than the 15 pro max, but at least for the demo you had in 8:07, the 15 pro was set for “raw max” to capture 48mp raw; while the 15 pro max was set to HEIF max, which is just taking 48mp heif instead, which is definitely less demanding than 48mp raw. Did this occur every time you went to take raw photos or do you think it maybe came down to settings you had?
Ya I changed it right after that in the video. The change in shutter lag doesn't happen every time and I wasn't able to recreate it on camera..just happened randomly throughout the month
@@BrandonButch Ah, okay. That’s good to know
assuming that “prioritize faster shooting” was set to be the same on both devices? also, i might be splitting hairs here, but i could definitely imagine that shutter lag on either device would be directly correlated to any smart hdr / deep fusion processing that occurs silently, especially in max mode, as they are multi-exposure image stacks that (as i understand the marketing material) are handled pixel by pixel to ensure optimum image quality across the entire scene. problem is, we don’t know when it’s choosing to do more aggressive smart hdr stacking because, well, iphone.
ALSO: reallllly unlikely because pro iphone etc, but are the storage capacities the same on both devices you tested? with the amount of variance in write speeds between storage capacities on other devices, i wonder if smaller storage configurations would take more time to write multiple 75-100mb images to disk compared with the higher storage. as i understand, iphones only ever have one nand chip, and the macbooks exhibiting this behavior had either one or two nand chips (which affected read/write performance greatly), but just something else to ponder.
It's the same camera, so it can't be different.
I think Brandon this year, just wants to sell everyone on the Max 🤣
@@jackdominiak445 it’s just my experience my man, it’s not that deep lol
I really really like my Pitaka Mag EZ on 15PM. Keeps the weight and width down. And quite a decent grip.
This is my first year to not go apple leather in a long time. But this is also my first time to use a Max model.
It also exposes large parts of the phone and there's no way you can see the looks of the phone
Great review it is swaying my decision to go from 13pm to 15pm. Just a small correction while watching you said an extra 6 inches at 2:15, an extra 6 inches we would have a iPad.
I always go with the pro max. Triple tap the back is set to activate my control center. I use it a lot rather than reaching or using reachability.
I came from an iPhone 12 and I had it since September 2021 and on release date of September 22nd, 2023 I decided to purchase a brand new black titanium iPhone 15 Pro 256GB. For me it was a decent upgrade I love the 6.1 inch so for me I made the best decision and I’m enjoying it definitely.
thanks for your video. I too was leary going from 12 Pro to the 15 pro max. Almost a week in and it took less than a day for me to be used to it. I feel like it was lighter than the 12 pro anyway, and the size increase really isn't that noticeable to me. The main reason I got it was because I use the phone camera for a lot of video, and this was a great upgrade.
These reviews kinda say it all for me. Every new iphone is about somewhat mitigating the minor problems with the previous iphone, along with a few improvements (to things like the camera). The battery gets bigger and better, but only to mitigate the fact we are forced to use bluetooth earphones that run it down (and run out themselves). The phone is slightly easier to carry, but only because they made them too big over the previous years. The casing is better, but only because they started scratching and ever since the iPhone 7, cracking with the slightest knock. I say all this and I’ve ordered a new Pro anyway! Its en route. But each new iteration is as much a pain as it is a joy, if not more.
Does the camera on the Pro Max fit more information into the photo when taking a picture due to the larger screen size or are the photos the exact same on both the Pro and Pro Max due to the camera lenses?
It fits a LITTLE BIT more information on the screen, and a bit more detailed, too.
Thanks B!
🙌
Thank you for the info. Good vid helped me cancel the order on my pro to get the pro max
i went to apple store, thought i picked up the pro only to find out later that it was the pro max. i was SHOCKED. It felt so small, and light. when i finally got to the pro i swore it was the mini. like it was so small.
super helpful information seriously. thank you. all those other videos with drop tests and blowtorches are interesting - but no one else is doing a pants droop test. it’s a real daily issue. as goofy as it is to talk about - i legit wanna take it into account ty
I’ve been a regular Pro user since I upgraded from an 11 Pro Max to a 12 Pro and then to the 13 Pro and then the 14 Pro. This year I finally went back to the Pro Max and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The form factor of the regular Pro is about perfect to me but I needed that better battery life and the slight improvements made to the design of the Pro series have made the transition very smooth for me where I got use to the size very quickly. Battery life has been phenomenal. I do miss betting able to type one handed but I finally got to the point where I was willing to sacrifice that for the better battery life.
I currently have the 14p which I really like except for battery. I decided to try pro max so I can hopefully not run out of charge before home from work. I ordered my 15PM few weeks ago and can’t wait 😁
Fair enough.
I've decided to upgrade to the 15 Pro, although for the first time, I did about the PM, in the end, it's just too big and cumbersome for my liking
Hey Brandon
This year is my first pro max ever, and I love it, battery is amazing and the screen is gorgeous
This video is so relatable! Every year I’ve gone with the pro size and this year I finally pulled the trigger after feeling the weight and went with the pro max. Absolutely loving it now! The camera and battery life are so worth it! Took about a week to fully adjust, but I love it now!
I will say though if they make a 6.3 next year that might be the sweet spot haha.
Ik thats exactly why I am waiting to get the 16 Pro instead of getting the 15 pro or the pro max this year cause I feel like that would be just the right size for my hands.
Rumors are that size is increasing for 16 series next year. So the Pro Max will be getting bigger.
I went from a 13 mini to the 15 Plus and I really do enjoy the extra screen size and battery life, I actually got rid of my iPad Pro 11 inch because of this phone, Next year I hope they do increase the size like the rumors suggest to 6.9, I do have 1 complaint and I’m not the only 1, The top Ear Piece speaker at anything above 80% sounds like it crackles/static, I hope it’s a software issue and not hardware,
You convinced me to get the Pro Max. Thank you for the update. My daughter also.
The thing is, you always adjust easily to the smaller screen size with no issues but the large phone size will remind you every time you pick it up. I am (was) a Samsung guy and after 2 Galaxy Notes switched to a 6.1" S22. What a difference and relief. I have big hands but to take these things with you, especially in summer, can be a pain.
100% agree. I recently switched over from android (Samsung notes were my go-to) and while the small size was a bit strange for 1-2 days I can’t imagine going back to such a monstrously large phone.
I went from a iPhone 5SE to 15 pro max. Through the years of owning iPhones I kept going back to 5SE. But this version… Brandon is spot on 🙏
I just went from a XS Max to a 14 Pro Max, I was used to the heaviness, but the 14 is like having a brick in my hand. Still the pro feels too small for me
I´m happy so many people found the Max light and manageable but my experience has not been the same. Last big phone I had was an iPhone 8 plus and I was very happy when when Apple ditched the home button allowing for a quite big screen in a not so big form factor. I recently decided to get a 15 pro Max (coming from a regular 12), expecting than the titanium and slightly smaller bezels would be enough this time to make the bigger pro a nice to hold phone, and looking forward to the extended battery and display, but it didn´t work for me.
The 15 pro max is lighter and slightly smaller than the previous generations but it is still a heavy and big phone, specially with a case. I don´t have small hands by any means and still I find the max a little bit too much to handle and too intrusive... I could live with it if there was no alternative, but I found the pro size perfect (still a little bit heavy though compared to the non pro - I´d be really happy if Apple would release a pro aluminum version).
Finally I decided to switch to 15 pro and I´m really happy so far. Having a bigger display is nice sometimes to see movies or play videogames, but this is not something I usually do in my phone and I found myself getting used to both displays sizes after a while (pro´s display is not small at all, it only feels small at the beginning when you are used to a bigger one).
Additionally I find the 3x zoom far more versatile than the 5x, I think there´s too much gap between 1x and 5x to cover it just with digital cropping.
The only thing I really envy from the max is the battery life, but it doesn´t compensate the rest. I ended up buying a little battery pack in case if I´m going to be out for a long time without the possibility of charging the phone (something really occasional).
Yes! I got the Pro Max and the digital cropping between 2x-5x is bad.
How's the battery life on the pro , even I am confused between pro and pro max just because of battery life , I need the compact phone like pro but if it's battery is bad then it won't make sense .
@@smartindian7641 I'd say is enough to make it trough the day unless you use the phone for work or you are an intensive user. In my case, if I have to charge the phone before end of day is a sign I have use it more than I should...
@@MatthewVlossakIt is also bad on the Pro between 3,1-5x
You took the words right out of my mouth
Last two phones were 11 Pro and now 13 Pro, but because of the camera differences (which pisses me off considering they stopped that after the 11 series I believe) and the obvious battery gains I am going to have to at least feel a Pro Max whenever I upgrade, may be the 15 series or it could be in another year lol we will see. Seeing the DOF difference between the 3x and 5x only reassures my strong interest in the PM, thank you for noting that.
I have smallish hands too but I want to say the only large iPhone I ever held was a 6 Plus so it’s been a long time, I had a 6s back then and wouldn’t even consider the larger versions.
Will also add that I LOVE my 13 Pro, and I always felt the regular Pro phones were a perfect size. I must be desperate for the best of the best 😅 Also considering switching back to Android for the first time since 2015 after how well the S23U did with battery improvements and catching up to Apple performance (passing in GPU). The pen is awesome love the shutter release feature, split screen multitasking I have been desperately waiting for Apple to introduce to iOS, and Dex.
I am a fan of both OS types but I chose Apple years ago for the rock stable performance, stability, and reliability. Ease of use, always know what to expect from the phone and especially the cameras. I don’t want to leave iOS but if they don’t bring multitasking soon and quit dimming my dang display so easily (sure it improved on 15 series) I might have to lol
I have the 14 Pro Max and while I’m fine with the weight, I did think when I first bought it “wow I hope Apple doesn’t make these phones any heavier in the future!” I’m glad to hear Apple made the 15 Pro Max lighter. People would have had real problems otherwise. I’m not a fan of the flat edges but I’ll wait and see that the 16 lineup offers.
I have had the Pro Max versions ever since they came out with the 11, but now I don't want a bulky phone anymore so the 15 pro sounds like a great idea! I am not sure that the battery trade-off is going to work for me. I am in quite a pickle!
Just get an extra charger for work and top it up, that's what I do, but I rarely have to top it up in the office
I had went for the Pro Max this year for only one month. Due to the extended return window in the holidays I was still able to exchange it. Although I really liked the 5x telephoto lense and the battery life, the phone was just too big and I have average sized hands. I already have an iPad mini and an Apple TV to view videos on, I rarely ever watch videos on my phone. There were many occasions where I would use my phone one handed and say "Man this phone is too big!". I later returned it for the 15 Pro. I really do miss the 5x lense especially when recording videos, photos in low light also benefited. I used to think the 3x telephoto lense was a good zoom length, but now I see just how useless of a focal length 77mm is. With 2x being available I found the 3x telephoto camera very unpractical and rarely used. To me 5x was the sweet spot in where you would actually see a difference in zoom. 3x isnt enough zoom for things far away and it's too much zoom for things up close. The 5x was the sweet spot and zooming past 5x like 6x or 7x looked very solid.
I had both and kept the Pro. I do miss the 5x too…but photos between 2x-4.9x looked better on the Pro than the Pro Max too. I also thought the PM was still too big for my liking as well.
I just got the 15 pro max after having the 12 normal and the 6s before and for first time using a pro im loving it
Chose the 15Pro but when I went to the Apple Store to get a case I looked at the Pro Max & kind of wish I got that instead this time. But I really like my phone. Maybe next time I upgrade I’ll go Max.
Coming from the 13 Pro Max I was about to get the Pro because of the heaviness. My hands were really tired of it. Those little grams less in 15 pro max made a notable difference, I’m loving the pro max this way around - although maybe I won’t use its features and maybe I should still be buying the pro version 😅
Hi Brandon.
Thanks for being so positive about the 15 pro max.
Personally from what I've seen thus far, it's a tremendous telephone, and I'm not even an iPhone user (as yet).
Still having to grit my teeth with my Huawei (yes, Huawei) Mate 20 X because the 15 pro max is as you may know, temporarily out of stock worldwide.
To be honest though, I bought that particular Huawei because of its size (7,2").
Biding my time until next month.
Wish me luck.
Love your videos, by the way.
Cheers,

FIRST, always come to you 😂. Any news about the iPad Air 6?
it might get a 12.9" display!
So there are no overheating issues after the new update?
I got the Black Titanium Pro Max as I always get the Pro Max 🤷♂. And you are definitely right about the weight between my 13 Pro Max and the 15 Pro Max as the 13 Pro Max did always have my pants/shorts drooping and now with the Titanium, I don’t have that issue.
I have an iPhone 11 Pro with 512 GB. It weight is 188 g. It has nice rounded corners, no sharp edges, and a nice gold color. I thought I would buy an iPhone 15 Pro Titanium with 1 TB this year. But why? I’m still perfectly happy with the iPhone 11 Pro, it weighs about the same as 15 Pro, I do not play games and it is as fast as I need it to be. And the 4G has actually given me 170 MBit. Usually I use WIFI, when I need a larger screen I use my iPad Pro. Should I use 5G and 1 TBit I would need a much more expensive subscription with unlimited amount of data. I do not need it, it is not worth it. So I wait until next year and then maybe something is there that really makes a difference.
Does your discount code not work on case? Trying to buy a full set up from Pitaka and it’s not working.
You know what would really be cool, to have the promax for use at home and a small phone for outdoor activites that mirrors exactly the main one, sort of like the apple watch but in a small phone....
I just purchased the 15 Pro last night.. All are perfect except for the battery life, anyone who has concerns regarding the battery go for the max version. Everything else, 15 Pro is great choice
The Max's have always had a good couple of hours on the Pro's, which is hardly surprising as the battery is at least 25% larger.
To call a phone with a battery that achieves 9hrs screen time, poor is laughable 🤣
For those people that it's not enough for, I would say get a life!
Hey Brandon! Just for conversation a question or two: What's the kickback from affiliate sales of the iphone Pro Max 15 compared to the iphone 15 Pro? Out of 1.2M subscribers what percent would u guess actually make an affiliate purchase? Would the two previous questions have any bearing as to why one might encourage others to get the latest Titanium iphone 15 Pro Max? U know what they say, "Follow the Money!" 😎😎
Agreed on weight of pro max. The 15 no longer pulls my pants down to my hips. 😂
I bought the 15 Pro Max about 10 days ago. The benefits I like are the camera and the larger screen. However, two to three times a day my video freezes when I'm watching the news or RUclips. I discussed this issue with Spectrum. They said they were aware of this problem as it was related to the MMS problems Verizon was having. They were working on diagnosing the source of the problem to fix it. The Spectrum tech told me that switching the Airplane mode on and off would undo the freeze. Two days later it is still not fixed. Have you experienced video freeze? Apart from this problem, I love the iPhone 15 Pro. This is the first time I got a flagship phone out of the starting gate.
still having the issue? was contemplating on getting spectrum
The problem is Verizon/Spectrum not the phone, by the sound of it, never experienced anything like that on mine
🇬🇧 I have a 15 Pro Max (brand-new) as of the time of this comment and I came from a Regular model iPhone 13. Although my hands are like yours (being average-sized I don’t mind too much having to use my Left hand to assist and the fact that this is lighter with more rounded edges this year makes it more comfortable! I went for the bigger one because of the speakers too and they do sound better than my older phone and I really appreciate the bigger screen too with Pro-Motion. I’ve always wanted a Pro-model iPhone but I held back until this year because I wanted at least 256GB in the Pro Max and the 1000-cycle Battery Health in these now is better!!
How do you manage to drain your battery in a day? Coming from pixel6 I’m impressed by the battery of the pro. It holds more than 2 days without charge and still around 30-40 percent
Hey Brandon, any updates as to when apple fixes this bug on IPhone in apple email, where folders are suggested when you want to save them (no longer works on IoS 17) . Noticed some noise on this as part of beta testing and was surprised the bug was released as part of IoS 17 and still not fixed. If wondering if you have heard anything on the grape vine.

Finally, they made it easier for left handed use on the action button.
With the action button I keep forgetting when people complain about it being difficult to use that it’s just super easy for me being left handed and it just perfectly resting where my thumb lies when holding the phone, I love the 15 pro max I usealy went with the regular pros and not the max’s but to get the absolute best one I can get I decided to go with the 15 pro max this year from the 12 pro I used to have and I absolutely love it I am very happy with the decision I made and in my opinion is the best phone I ever had. Btw for the action button I love using it for the camera and as a shutter button
You do realise lefties are a very small minority?
Been doing the Plus/Max sizes since the iPhone 6S. I got small hands. No issues for me.
Returned 15pro, bought 15 pro max, really enjoy it more and use it good with 1 hand typing functions with reachability
This comparison was super helpful!! Ever since the iPhone 7 series I've always gotten the biggest model. However, when the 14 series came out i opted for the 14 Pro instead of the Pro Max for the first time ever, due to the weight and size of the 14 Pro Max. The 14 Pro is great when it comes to one handed use, but the battery life has taken a lot of getting used to coming from the Pro Max. If they keep the 16 Pro Max as light as the 15 Pro Max, i just might consider switching back to a Pro Max model.
Just ordered the Pro Ma, basically for the camera array. With added memory. I can actually shoot a short film on it....
I love the 15 ProMax. I like the smaller form factor and I haven’t had any issues with it.
I got my first ‘max’ phone this year. 15 pro max is substantially lighter than the previous max phones and after using it for a while I even forgot how small my 14 pro was
