Yeah I did and its titanium black just like my 15 Pro Max. Probably be the last year I'll buy another iPhone Pro Max model in 1TB storage until apple comes out with something significant on the future upcoming iPhones. I been upgrading 4 years straight and I think I won't buy next years. It just expensive and i hate to say this its a waste of money upgrading every year. I'll just wait till that day when Apple offers the 2TB storage option then i'll be all over that, been waiting for them to announce that in there past iPhone models and was hoping it would be on the 16 Pro Max. If they do that, they be kings in phone data storage.
Had the IPhone 15 Pro Max, upgraded to the IPhone 16 Pro Max… I can tell you, they are pretty much the same phone. Size is barely noticeable, it doesn’t seem much faster. I wouldn’t recommend upgrading from an IPhone 15 Pro Max. Just not enough change to make it worth it. I upgrade every year regardless of the phone and changes.
Then you are a fool because I did the same thing 4 years straight in the row. Not really worth it on the financial standpoint if your upgrading every year.
@@DavidWong99 it’s definitely time for an upgrade for you. If you’re a mobile gamer, the upgrade is worth it, if you’re a casual phone user… pretty much any iPhone from the XS up will be the same… maybe even the XR. Apple just doesn’t innovate much anymore. Every year it’s the same upgrades.. better camera, better screen quality, new chip. Nothing really even noticeable.
as someone who’s upgraded every single year since the iPhone 8 Plus, I’m nothing doing it this year 🫠 if the hardware isn’t that different, they could at least give us better colors. Product red or something.
You been upgrading since the 8 plus wow you are a fool then, that must be really expensive if you are paying cash out right straight from the apple website. I did the same thing too i been upgrading since the 13 Pro Max and the 16 Pro Max will probably be my last upgrade until Apple comes out with a significantly improved iPhone in the future.
If you’re getting the 16 pro it’s really just about the bezels and better battery life. No point in upgrading unless you’re coming from the 13 pro or less though, at least in my opinion Edit: can confirm it’s a great phone. Been using it about a month now. I wake up at 10am start work around 2:30pm and finish up around 1 am. My phones always above 45 percent at the end of the day with heavy Bluetooth usage and a fair amount of screen time. Smaller bezels make for a way better video experience too, especially on the pro max.
May be not the most comprehensive video on the topic, but it is the most engaging one. I found myself zoning out at times in the others. Loved it. Thank you! 🙏
@@mrkring1526 iPhone upgrades are becoming so minimal year over year that the cumulation of skipping 5 generations of iPhones are just enough for me to see a huge difference, so yeah with the pace I’m going at i only got 12 iPhones left to reach iPhone 77
I just have the 15 pro Max since 5 months its a sweet Phone, in general performance its very Nice beautiful Phone…. probably I’ll wait till iPhone 18 no hurries 📲📲📲
Yeah i been upgrading on the iPhone going on my 4th year now. I just received my new iPhone 16 Pro Max in the mail today. For those that upgrade every year on a financial standpoint its not really worth it unless you like spending over a $1000 for a phone every year depending on the model and storage option you choose. For me I been upgrading to all Pro Max iPhones and doing 4 years straight in a row has put a financial burden on me. I just did it because I wanted the latest and the greatest improved technology advances. Like he said in the video upgrading every year isn't really necessary unless you own an iPhone that's 3 years or older then upgrading to the latest would make a big difference. So if there's a iPhone 17 Pro Max in the works for next year i'll probably skip purchasing it and probably wait 2 or 3 years before I upgrade unless Apple comes out with a 2TB storage option which i was hoping they would offer on the 16 Pro Max but didn't. To my opinion I think Apple should release the iPhones every 2 years instead of every year. That way they have more time to develop and have new ideas for the next iPhones. Putting a new improved iPhone every year is just getting ridiculously insane.
Great video! Shows it’s not a necessary upgrade from the 15 to the 16, both are solid devices. SN:Where can I get that wallpaper you have on the 15 Pro Max?
Man first time I came across your channel. Lovely review, straight to the point and more importantly honest. Subscribed. Big ups from the UK Ps. After seeing this I’ll just stay with my 15 Pro Max until next year 👊🏻
Just switched from an iPhone 13 to an iPhone 15 pro Max and I love it. The 16 pro max wasn’t available but I’m glad the phones aren’t that much different.
They’re not. 100% agree w you. But for people who just use their phones for basic calls, texts, browsing internet and social media, emails, and who don’t pixel peep their photos. They are essentially the same phone.
And why do you have to 10/24/24 to get the 16 Pro max? I got mine today 10/15/24. I ordered mine straight thru Apple the day they started putting it up for sale.
I could choose between the 15 and the 16 Pro Max. My choice fell on the 15 Pro Max. Why? Because 6.7 inches already feels big and heavy, let alone 6.9 inches... I regularly dropped the S24Ultra from my hands because of the 6.8 inches and heaviness of the device... I also think the extra camera option is a big flop. I doubt Apple will put this on the iPhone 17 next year..
Yea bro I have a 15 pro max and I know the upgrade is very minimal but I still want to cop it. Lol. 🤷🏾♂️ I haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet but I will be soon. Appreciate the breakdown. 💯
I really appreciate how you do everything you’re who I go to when I need an answer. If you haven’t put out the answer yet I wait until you do you said what I wasn’t sure how to say without coming off rude lol and I came from a 13 Pro to the 16 Pro Max And I love it
The iPhone 15 pro max out of all the cycles is the best “old” iphone to get secondhand. It’s perfect if you’re coming from a super old phone (12 or older) want the best features Apple has to offer, stay up to date for years, but want to save a little money. Still a better phone than the base level 16/plus, nearly identical to the 16 pros aside from the camera button, still getting all the AI, still has 120hz, and you get USB-c. You can’t go wrong.
I'm only getting the 16 pro max because I'm trading in my S23 Plus. Last IPhone I had was the 11 so it'll be a new experience for me. Apple doesn't innovate anymore so it's always going to be insignificant upgrades year to year.
The fact that the biggest selling point the ai intelligence is also available on the 15 pro max really makes this phone perhaps the worst “upgrade” of all previous iPhones the camera quality on the 15 pro max to me is nearly indistinguishable from the 16 really the only difference is slightly bigger screen and slightly less bezels the battery life might be improved but not by much
Got mine earlier today, still havn't taking it out of the UPS package yet. I'll start tomorrow prepping it for the the screen protector install and phone case add on then transfer my data service from my 15 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max.
You are so right Bro💯I have the 14 max and don't see anything that's blowing me away about the 15 and 16 max,so I'm just gonna wait for the 17 max. Great info as usual

I wouldn’t recommend upgrading from an IPhone 15 Pro Max. Just not enough change to make it worth it. I upgrade every year regardless of the phone and changes. I’m stupid… don’t be stupid, it’s expensive.
Obviously you are because you said you upgrade every year so whats your problem? I did the same thing and upgrading since the 13 Pro Max. The 16 Pro Max will be the last i'll purchase until Apple comes up with a significantly improved phone. Yeah its expensive. It cost me total with tax $1710.00 on each one of the Pro Maxs directly from the Apple website paid cash outright for it. I don't like financing and going thru those carriers b.s. 2 year contract. Those are for people that can't afford to pay cash in full for one. Also not to mention it cost me extra $69 for the Rockform rugged phone case and $59 for the Zagg XTR4 screen protector. I like to keep my phones safe and new looking.
I upgraded from 15PM. The only ‘benefit’ is less overheating. Apple Intelligence better make it worth the upgrade because it’s not. It’s not a bad device; just not only for battery life/overheating. My 3 cents.
Man, I really don’t think I should upgrade because I have the 15 Pro max, but damn the photos were way better on the 16 Pro Max in this video. The coloring was significantly better. I know I can put filters and change coloring, but I like to have my camera automatically look good as good as possible. Thing is, I can do a “free upgrade” with boost, but it’s not really free. Because it keeps you stuck in a 36 month pseudo contract that you don’t get all the “free” if you don’t complete. So upgrading starts that 36 months all over from your last phone. My Samsung s20 ultra finally fried so I didn’t have a trade in and wanted to get a good phone. Boo was the only one that offered that without a trade-in. Looking back I should’ve just bit the bullet and paid the full amount and bought a phone outright. Because having the privilege of being stuck in the contract with boost and being able to have a “free” upgrade also makes your monthly bill $65 base when if you’re just paying on a phone, you already have it’s like 25. So after all, this is sudden and done, you actually pay more for your “free phone” I’m a sucker. lol So now I am either thinking of saying, fuck it and upgrading to the 16 or just paying the rest of what I would owe on this 15 promax and going down to a cheap plan. The ladder is definitely the smart one to do. But knowing who knows if I’ll choose it. lol
Connecting a T7 2 TB SSD will keep drawing 4.5 watts power from the phone while recording. The extra 250mah battery is thus very useful which no RUclipsrs talked till 16 launch. I expected CJ will mention that. The extra mah will also support extra battery life if AI is launched. Because AI tends to run on the background all the time and you can expect extra heat. Hence the 20% improved cooling is mentioned by Apple on 16 launch. For heavy users, 16 plus is the go. For pro res and professionals pro max is the go. 16 is for new to iPhone users and 16 pro is just for class who keeps upgrading every year. And those buying 16 pro 128gb variants are just show offs.
Truthfully, I’m tempted to trade in my 15 pro max for the Ultramarine Blue 16 Plus.. that thing is GORGEOUS! I know … slower refresh rate, not as good of camera, and not as strong chip, but hey… it’s gorgeous… 😅❤️
Me too, currently on 12 pro max, not a fan of the camera button on 16 and im thinking i should just upgrade 15 pro max, now that the price is reduced a little.
As always, nice video CJ. iPhone improves only a few things. It would be a perfect phone if iOs worked way similarly to Android because I find iOs prehistoric to be said. So, to have iPhone with more developed iOs and multitasking for such price, it would be a perfect option. However, it all comes to preference these days 😎
Hey CJ, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, would you love to have a new logo, custom membership badges, wallpaper and app icons packs and any kind of artworks to help scale up your branding and business opportunities? Let me know if you interested and I would love to craft something for you! :-)
Apple could have at least made a better screen not just bigger... samsungs screen blows apples screen away... my wife is upgrading from an apple to a pixel 9 pro. Apple is gonna continue to lose customers if they don't make bigger changes on their products.
As a 15 Pro user, this new phone has zero appeal to me. Sounds like the camera button was a botch and all the early apple ai features are lackluster vs Galaxy AI. Besides log recording, iPhones are just so boring in general 😴...
I loved my iPhone 15 Pro Max, one of the best phones I’ve ever owned. But I’m really liking my 16 Pro Max. The screen is larger and sharper, which I love. I know both phones have the same display and pixel density but this screen is sharp, things really pop. And I can tell a difference in the camera too.

i might be boring but the natural titanium color is still the best one to me.
I agree it one of the best ones for sure
You’re right, that’s boring…😅
I always used black phones. Natural titanium is as light as I can handle.
Natural titanium is really beautiful which I plan to buy that.
If desert titanium came to 15 pro max I would never have upgraded to 16 pro max lol

Nice, I know right
Yea i couldn’t do that i love my max!! To each is own tho it preference
I have the regular IPhone 15 Pro and it makes little sense to go to the 16 series. Maybe IPhone 17 to the 19 in a few years at the absolute latest.

Hence the 20% improved cooling is mentioned by Apple on 16 launch. For heavy users, 16 plus is the go. For pro res and professionals pro max is the go. 16 is for new to iPhone users and 16 pro is just for class who keeps upgrading every year. And those buying 16 pro 128gb variants are just show offs.
Truthfully, I’m tempted to trade in my 15 pro max for the Ultramarine Blue 16 Plus.. that thing is GORGEOUS! I know … slower refresh rate, not as good of camera, and not as strong chip, but hey… it’s gorgeous… 😅❤️
What? You must have a really dysfunctional phone if it can't perform the way you want it to do.
The natural titanium is kinda nice
Natural Titanium is really nice
Most of the people commenting have a 15 pro max. Here I am watching on my 12 pro max 🤔
Nice! This video is for you
Me too, currently on 12 pro max, not a fan of the camera button on 16 and im thinking i should just upgrade 15 pro max, now that the price is reduced a little.
@@TheKrishna1995we have the same idea bro😊🎉
In short there’s no difference
I got the iPhone 15 pro max I’m trading it in for the 16 pro max
As always, nice video CJ. iPhone improves only a few things. It would be a perfect phone if iOs worked way similarly to Android because I find iOs prehistoric to be said. So, to have iPhone with more developed iOs and multitasking for such price, it would be a perfect option. However, it all comes to preference these days 😎
What do you think. Iphone 16 plus or iphone 15 pro max?
Will the 15 pro max get the apple intelligence
Yes
@@CJKnowsTECH thanks
😂it’s the same 💩
A true chip and battery test is
Playing 1-2 games of WARZONE mobile and opening facebook for 5 mins and insta then trying using your phone
Hey CJ, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, would you love to have a new logo, custom membership badges, wallpaper and app icons packs and any kind of artworks to help scale up your branding and business opportunities? Let me know if you interested and I would love to craft something for you! :-)
Apple could have at least made a better screen not just bigger... samsungs screen blows apples screen away... my wife is upgrading from an apple to a pixel 9 pro. Apple is gonna continue to lose customers if they don't make bigger changes on their products.
As a 15 Pro user, this new phone has zero appeal to me. Sounds like the camera button was a botch and all the early apple ai features are lackluster vs Galaxy AI. Besides log recording, iPhones are just so boring in general 😴...
Samsung S24 clear winner ❤
iPhone 15 pro max is better
useless review
Where in the title does this say review?
I loved my iPhone 15 Pro Max, one of the best phones I’ve ever owned. But I’m really liking my 16 Pro Max. The screen is larger and sharper, which I love. I know both phones have the same display and pixel density but this screen is sharp, things really pop. And I can tell a difference in the camera too.
The glass is this year is smoother and seems clearer or sharper as you say or something😂

which camera is better?
@@markplancait's typically the same only the ultrawide and macro is 48MP on 16. You cannot tell the difference btw unless you compared the 2 photos
@@BOBBY-xd5wd macro cam is still 12mp
