iPhone 15 Pro Max After 8 Months - It's a BEAST

My real life review of the iPhone 15 Pro Max after 8 months. I used my recent vacation as an example of how this phone can be REALLY useful. From the action button, the camera, USB-C and more, this smartphone is unmatched!

I think that often times those who complain about poor battery life do not know how to manage their battery. I have an iPhone 12, which still has excellent battery life, but I have tried my best to preserve that. I don’t use fast charging, I don’t run my phone super bright all the time and I have my options managed so that they are set to preserve battery life not allowing a bunch of apps to use GPS or enable push notifications.

I definitely agree with you because I've had my iPhone 15 pro max since 3 months and it's working perfectly ok for me

[@M4NA5]

Agreed. Still rocking my launch day 13 Pro with 87% battery capacity. Easily lasts a full day.

[@LegitJohnDoe]

Super handsome guy! Love that casing, wishing to have it as a present for my birthday! ❤❤❤

[@MattMills69]

Walking around Mexico at night ? That sounds dangerous

[@jonnygti]

I’m with you, absolutely no idea why some people complain about the 15 pro max battery, for me it’s easily as good as the 14 pro max, if not better, I always get a full day of very heavy usage, or two days of medium to light use

[@victuringan1429]

Still the best phone to date

[@AnandaGarden]

So true. The 15 Pro is amazing tech. Apple ProRes Log is NOT scary. It's an easy workflow. Cheap Neewer rig + cheap USB-C 3.0 hub + old SanDisk 1TB SSD + Shure MV88+ Mic. Bring enormous Log file into Premiere, apply wonderful FreeLab conversion LUT + minor color tweaks, and export. Beautiful results. I shot stills at a science fair in open sun with dappled shade that would destroy my Canon R6 - the 15 Pro handled it beautifully, no fuss.

I like the action button but think it’ll get more use if they move it down to the bottom left instead of above the volume up button.

I have almost all my background activity shut off. My 14 pro max (day one) still on 96%

[@mikldude9376]

My 14 pro max also is doing well too , battery health at 97% .
I would not mind the newer model, but the old one still works very well indeed .
I could easily get another 3 or 4 year’s out of it i think.
It’s nice to have the new shiny latest and greatest every year, but if you keep them for some years , that’s a fair wad of cash you could put towards something else.

It's so good all the people I know who has it loves the overheating feature, keeps their hand warm in the winter time. Amazing.

[@coyfrasure]

no

[@waykool698]

Can’t wait to upgrade my 14 max to the 16 max. Gonna be a decent upgrade after 2 years, and get the 15 features plus the new ones.

[@jedolivier2688]

The sound signature from the 14 ProMax while listening to Bluetooth speakers on 🍎 music is ridiculous. I have a 15 ProMax as my day to day phone. The 14 ProMax is strictly for music purposes & nothing else.😊

[@nicusordomilescu1952]

I totally agree with you, same thing here

[@kamundt2832]

Do you use a case in daily life or go caseless?

[@MsMycene]

Does yours gets warm when using safari on cellular data?

[@mikldude9376]

I keep every single phone Ive ever owned, about 8 android and 2 iPhones, all of them get warm to some extent when using them .

Besides my battery losing it's health fast, everything is OK
