Overheating is pretty normal because my 16 pro max overheats even much more than my dad's 24 ultra.Eventhough charges slower than it too.Soo,i think so 24 Ultra is the beast @Syedziauddeen12
We updated to Phone 15 Pro Max back in November, from the iPhone 7 Plus. We love it!!!! It has been a major learning curve, however after a little more than a month we could not be happier!!!!
I kept mine (usually trade mine in for an upgrade but let my wife have the upgrade for a 16 Plus) I love it. It’s my daily driver over my OnePlus Open which I just permanently designated as a travel phone (last update was just bad, a lot of lag hopefully it’s fixed soon). Battery still holds up, lasting 17 hours off charger (91% battery health) and iOS 18 runs smooth. Looking to see what the 17 Pro Max has in store. Happy New Years!
I have a 13 Pro Max, & was so tempted to get the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but then I realized they’re gonna have a whole new design w/ the 17, so guess imma wait, even tho I really want a new phone, now.
Not a bad phone but has heating issues due to A17 Pro. I decided to spend the extra money for a 16 pro max with bigger battery and no heating issues with processor, bigger screen, better cameras. I think the 16 pro max is the best future proofed iphone to get.
@ I wouldn’t say it’s that bad, it’s certainly gotten much better but I decided to spend the extra money to get a brand new 16 pro max for peace of mind and future proofing since the a18 pro runs cooler and the phone has the new cooling system
I'm actually using my iPhone 15 Pro Max 512GB right now. Still prefer my Android portfolio but every time I put my sim back in my S24 Ultra, by the next day it's back in the 15 Pro Max. I actually waiting for my 16 Pro Max to arrive. Happy New Year to you, your family, channel and all your subscribers. 🎉❤.
At the moment I have both the 15PM and 16 Pro. Honestly there isn’t much difference and the differences are so minor that I’m continuing with the 15PM and sell the 16Pro
I’ve had the 15 pro max since launch. Been an amazing device for everything from watching RUclips , gaming and taking pictures or videos. Highly recommend it. I would even still recommend a 13 pro max since
@ after like 40 minutes of gaming it does start to heat up a bit but that’s because I play resident evil village and assassin creed mirage. But doing regular day to day task it doesn’t get hot only in direct sunlight
I have been using the 15 pro max from past 8 months, it feels like something is missing and I am always tempted to switch to Android, used Oneplus 12 and it felt more smooth and polished
I got the blue 15 Pro Max on Dec. 19th. I got mine from Amazon as a renewed device. Mine was bought by my parents. And I think they still paid over $1000 for it. Anyway, the body itself is immaculate, with the only physical defects being very small nicks in the display. Which aren’t really noticeable unless you really look for them. If you do, they look like small specs of dandruff that you can’t wipe off which is annoying. Furthermore, according to the battery health thing, it was manufactured in September of 2023, and first used in November 2023. It actually still has 100% maximum capacity. And only had two charge cycles when I first set it up. Now it shows nine. Either way, coming from an iPhone 11, I can say the battery is fantastic. Of course, it differs depending on use, but it lasts me anywhere between 6-12 hours. Whereas my 11 which has 76% capacity after three years of use, and I would get anywhere between 3-8 hours depending on use, that’s even after 3 years. The camera itself is also much better, but i haven’t really got to play with it that much. The one thing I do appreciate is the 25x zoom. As for its performance, obviously the A17 chip is a lot better than the A13 chip, and that’s even noticeable with handling smaller tasks, but I haven’t actually pushed it to its limits. Again, the phone is basically in new condition, and I love the blue color. I was honestly really surprised at how light the phone really is, I thought it would be a lot heavier than my 11. It feels about the same in weight imo. I love the titanium design, but I still prefer the stainless steel, as it looks more premium. And other than the small nicks in the display, the only thing I don’t like about this phone is the USB-C. I get that Apple didn’t really have a choice thanks to the EU or whatever, but it my experience with it in the last couple of weeks, it works great, and it may just be the charger that I bought, but I find that the charger wiggles a little if you try to move it, and doesn’t actually feel secure compared to the old lightning cable. But, If anyone is considering to buy one of these in 2025, I would definitely recommend, especially if you’re coming from a 12 or older. Of course it depends on where you buy it, and its condition that’s it’s in, but i think that for most people, they won’t be disappointed. -My apologies for the long comment! :’)
I've had a Samsung S24 Ultra for about a week and i loved it. But a few days ago i decided to swap it for a 15 Pro Max and i'm loving it so far. It just feels more comfortable in my hand and all the animations and scrolling through apps just feel a bit more polished and refined. Both phones are great anyway.
Yes, if you’re looking for a good iPhone the 15 Pro Max would be a good one. However, I’m keeping my 14 Pro Max Deep Purple. I’m looking forward to the 17 series.
Sure it is, more on that I relatively upgrade when iPhone 18 or 19 series releases. To be honest when I have a phone and i have a couple of cases than why should I switch next year and throw those lovely accessories 😂🤔
Hi Nick I'm currently wanting to upgrade...I'm looking at the14pro max ,15 pro and s24 ultra. Pictures quality matters to me and the quality it gets uploaded on. Screen size also a big bonus for me. Which is my best option.
Happy new year. also i recently switched from iphone to galaxy and never going back, half the price, 2x the features, its absurd what apple is doing to its customers, its mental abuse.
What are you talking about bro? Samsung phones are the same each & every single year, plus they cost more 😂😂😂 better help is a phone call away my friend. Blessings 🙏🏻
@ S23U was $700 after trade in and 15 Pro Max was $500 after trade it, don’t have to be rich. Don’t know who’s paying full price for phones. But… if you actually had the phones you would know that right?
Hey Nick, love your videos. Do you think buying a 15+ now is a good idea? I've been saving up for it for a few months now and would be buying it next week. Thank you!
What small external mic do you recommend that plugs into the iPhone? This would be like for recording people speaking. I figured an external mic might would better than just using the built in mics.
Hey nick can you send me that wallpaper; cause I couldn’t find it in the wallpaper section, and google (yes there were the same thing but, different lighting) please and thank you!!
Honestly i got a 15pm as a secondary device, and honestly the triple AAA titles run amazing and far better than anything android has to offer, Re Village, 7 and 2 Remake run amazing and look great, Emulation is cool and ok in my s24 Ultra but doesn't come close to the native performance of the iphone. But in terms of a phone itself the Android side of the force is just to complete, i can't give up doing everything i want, and the navigation on ios is a mess, but for gaming alone the A17 Pro really surprised me, but the display, cameras, video, overall speed and performance the s24u is miles ahead
It’s an excellent device. I am using it for almost a year now. The only downside is the battery. Initially for few months, the battery was excellent. Later on, it’s draining fast with battery health clocking at 95. Not sure why the battery in iPhones get reduced power sooner than other mobile brands as is not the case with Samsung or OnePlus or Pixel phones as I have experienced.
Back then I changed my phone after every two year,from 4S to 5S and 6S plus. After the 6S plus I changed every four year,that mean the 11 Pro Max and after another four years I have now the 15 Pro Max. Obviously is the best IPhone I ever had! 😂 Until after four years when the 19 Pro Max will arrive this will be my mainly driver. Eventually the 18 PM if the technology in my 15 PM will not catch up,but I doubt about that.
Hi Could you send me the blue wallpaper of your normal galaxy s24 where you do the speed test against the iPhone 16, one of a faded blue flower Please and thank u Happy new year!
I have both s24 ultra and iphone 14 pro max and though i have customised my s24 ultra to the peak i still feel my 14pm is more polished and premium. Just my opinion
Not a bad phone to pick up. But it is showing its age which is crazy to say over 1 year. That could be because of big iOS 18 is but my phone lags every now and then. It will randomly restart itself at least once every other week and it take a little bit for certain things to load emojis for example, and sometimes the photos
Hmm this could be early iOS 18 issues, I find my 16 Pro Max to also do weird stuff like this so its not really the age, Apple needs to sort out the bugs and software
im planning to buy my 2nd iphone..im using and android but i used iphone xs and still ok..which is better the 15 pro max or 16 pro..here in kuwait the 15 pro max is 100 usd cheaper than a 16pro and 200 usd for a 16 pro max..
Oppo and Samsung are going to dominate Android in 2025 but for iPhone I think it's better to go for the pro and pro max versions of previous versions....
The iPhone 16 Pro phones should be some of the worse selling iPhones, and buying the 15 Pro Max instead would be a smarter move. Carriers have solid deals for no trade-in purchases.
As a user of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, I would definitely say that the 15 pro max is worth it in 2025🎉.
yes indeed🤩
@@Syedziauddeen12 did you faced any major issue in s24 ultra?

Been rocking mine since April and it's simply fantastic, battery, screen, cameras, whole package. Coming from a 12, huge upgrade
It truly is the whole package, the 16 Pro Max is basically the same thing but a tiny bit more
😮
Kind of disappointed with 15 max ,coming from 11 max especially regarding battery
Am scared of upgrading from 13PM to 15PM because people always say the 15PM is very hot 🔥please how true is that

i have a black 15pm its great and basically same as 16pm no need to change

Long story short, if you can get it for 20% less than an 16PM or even cheaper its a good deal
My 15 pro 256gb is still going strong. 88% health 400 charge cycles later. I think I can make it to the new iPhone 17 pro
only 2 years? lol shouldn’t phones last longer especially since 15 came out not long ago
Had my 15PM since release and couldn’t ask for more. Phone is a beast. Upgraded from a XS max
