Never seen one of your videos before this one. Really nice job. I like your style.
Thank you for such a helpful video!
That advice at the end is spot on 💯%
Dope vid thanks fam
Great comparison vid. Thanks a lot
Perfect review, thank you!
Great video man! Just subscribed
had the 12 pro max, best phone ever, recently got the 15 pro... absolutely love it! max is too big for pockets lol.. got an ipad air 5 to make up for the lack of size..
The bigger battery is great but if you are a photographer, the smaller Pro and its 3x is a vastly better choice. The Max is cropping in when zooming below 5x and results are ... horrible. Most folks will use a 3x far more. The 5x is ok for showing off the 'look how far I can zoom in' but that's about it. I hate how Apple has compromised the ProMax and wished it came with the 3x.
True. Shame future iPhones will have 5x.
Nice detailed video
Thanks! :)
I realized hand size was the major factor, I've also had both sizes. My hand used to cramp with the larger size and I couldn't reach across the screen with one hand or type one handed if I needed to. I liked the bigger screen and longer battery life but ultimately decided I need the smaller size. Ps: the max is big and heavy enough that I dropped it on my face a few times. That ish hurt lol
I'm coming from a very heavy phone, Samsung S22 ultra and although I'm huge on photography and can one hand this big chungus easily, the weight diff is enough for me to seriously consider the 15 Pro...let's see what I go with
Yes! A phone today is something you hold for almost every waking hour, so it’s important to have something you can live with. I place high value on portability, so size and weight matters a lot. I remember being slightly annoyed by the larger size of the 12 Pro compared to 11 Pro, so I can’t imagine being comfortable with 15 Pro Max. Battery life is not too big of a deal, because I have access to a charger pretty much everywhere throughout the day. If I’m on foot, I’m anal about having a power bank with me. I like the idea of the 5X zoom, but since I’ve been doing just fine with a 12 Pro, having 3X instead of 5X is not gonna hurt.
Hey TERREN…………….. great job on the iPhone pro ,and pro max comparison video.
Upgraded from 11 pro max and got the 15 pro max but it was too big. I’m a big guy (6ft4) with big hands but the comfort was not there dor daily use. The action button, one handdd use, fitting in my wireless car charger, taking photos one handed, etc. Just changed it for the 15 pro. Battery is irrelevant for me. I am not used to the smaller screen but I am hoping the more pocketable phone will be more comfortable for daily use.
4 weeks later…What is your POV on the Pro vs. Pro Max?
Welll
One-handed use and pocketability is the best feature for me. Pro Max/Plus will always be a chunk for me
Great conclusion
I bought the 15 Pro Max but I’m thinking about returning it. I tend to still use my Xs much more bc of the smaller screen. I bought it simply for a better camera, while it’s nice I don’t know if it’s enough to keep it. Also mine gets warm pretty quickly which concerns me for the longevity of it. (I keep my phones for a while)
Great video Terren! I am struggling with this decision. The Pro is so much easier to hold, but it does have trade-offs.
Very pleasing video
I just decided to give the PM a chance this year. Had the 11 pro, 12 mini, 13 pro, and 14 pro. Also wanted to check out the 5x lens. My favorite things about this phone are the screen and battery.
I've been using the 15 Pro model, but I'm honestly very disappointed with the battery life. I'm nowhere near what you would call a "power user" and yet the battery dies by 6 pm sometimes! I decided to put an order for a 15 Pro Max and never look back!
How many hours you were getting with the screen-on on the 15 pro?
iOS 17.1.1?
@@Super-_-GameRvery nice question 👍🏻
@@el_semir Yes, I’m using 17.1.1. However, I recently learned that turning off Background App Refresh can go a long way in improving battery life.
bro is rich
Actually 3x is better than 5x
I’ve had my 13 Pro Max for 2 years. It’s pretty bulky and a pain to handle, no doubt.
Next month, I’m switching to the 15 Pro instead of the Pro Max. The Pro Max’s screen isn’t that much better for watching stuff anyway. Unlike the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which comes with a stylus and cool multitasking features, a big iPhone doesn’t offer much.
The best approach is to buy an iPad Mini for media consumption and web browsing on the go/on the couch and buy the more practical sized iPhone Pro imo
I seldom use my phone for much media consumption, so I prefer the standard size Pro phones. Battery life is never a problem because I don’t use the phone enough for it to be a concern but I do keep a MagSafe battery pack close by just in case, I do wish the 5X camera came with the standard size 15 Pro though. Hopefully the 16 Pro comes with that feature
Thank you
First of all: Great video! I subscribed!
I completely agree with you: Technology is a very personal thing. I remember going from my iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6s plus. That was a big mistake! I though i would love the bigger screen (and especially because my fingers are pretty "thick" i thought that the keyboard would be bigger which would've been nice when i type messages. But boy was i wrong! It didn't help at all! So when the iPhone X came around (with finally a new design,) i was so happy that i bought that one. I think it's the perfect size! I'm now going to upgrade to the 15 Pro with 256gb. Which is more than enough for me. Having a bigger screen is nice for if you are traveling or something and you want to watch a movie, it is absolutely possible and much nicer. Also for playing a game (if you are a mobile gamer.) But for me, the portability is a much bigger factor. A big phone just can't go in your pockets as easily and it's just annoying (for me personally) to take with you everywhere.
Always choose the Pro instead of Max cause of the ugly bulky inconvenience. The large screen is just slightly bigger not satisfy enough to be trade off the convenience. The battery for me with IP 15 Pro is using whole day and still got 45-55% remain. So! Pro is really my choice!😄
I have been using the Max size since the 12 series and I cannot go back. the Pro size is just too small
Two years with the 13 Pro and it was time to go back to the Max with the 15. The better camera and bigger battery was enough for me. I do kinda miss how compact and light the Pro model is though.
iPhone 15 pro max battery definitely last longer since the battery is larger. I know my iPhone 15 pro was gonna be average compared to larger phones ( Pro max, Galaxy note, Galaxy S ultra, etc) but compared to Pixel 6 battery, is night and day! Do not regret the switch!
The camera is almost the same
The 13 pro isn’t light lol, it’s a heavy slab. I have the 13 pro and the 13 mini and use the mini far more often because it’s easier to use.
What's the name or brand of your backpack?
I went from a 14 pro to the 15 pro max and couldn’t be happier
128 gb is not enough for me anymore. Between games getting larger, the number of files or videos I want to keep handy, and the numbers of videos I shoot I need more. How much more I am not sure. But considering I want to try Apple Prores log recording a bit before investing in an external SSD for it, I am thinking more might even be needed.
Gave up my 11 for a Pro then switched to try an S24 then nope and went for a ProMax- it’s beautiful.
Very happy to use my 15 pro max
So weird. When I play this video, youtube can play it in picture in picture. But when I play other video it can't. Anyone know the reason.
I'm having the same dilemma. Always have had the Pro models because I like the size and "fit" better. However the battery life and quality of photos is also important. I'm not going to upgrade until next year. If all things stay the same the decision may come down to a coin toss.
There are rumours that 16Pro might come with 6.3" (instead of 6.1") and a 5x telephoto camera.
Like you I’ve always had pro models, currently 12 pro but this time I plan to step out my comfort zone and try the pro max for at least the next year and see how it goes
You fail to highlight the fact that the pro max has to zoom digitally to achieve the 3X zoom. You made it seem that the best camera experience is only available on the pro max, but that’s assuming you care about 5X. You’re trading 3X for 5X but your commentary in the video suggests that the “better” camera is the pro max. All in all, the main differences is 1) battery life, and 2) form factor. The 3X and 5X is a wash because it’s up to the user on what they prefer. Don’t spin it like the pro max camera is better when in fact it’s just different features between the two.
5x optical zoom is better than 3x zoom, it brings objects closer.
@@zoltanzana Yes but the way to 5x all the way from 2x is digital so up until 4.99x, you will have the Digital Zoom from 2x which is not the case with the 3x lens.
@@meherzadsachinwalla The Pro 3,1x and above is digital zoom, not the best.
5x is not better 3x so 15 pro max camera doesn't necessarily have a better camera than 15 pro. It's a matter of preference. 3x is more versatile and more useful for everyday use. 5x is a bit more specialized. The choice is yours.
The iPhone X was the best size phone, for me, at least.
On the 15 Pro Max 5x zoom is optical but … 3x times zoom is digital. On regular Pro 3x is optical. Since regular focal length optimal for portrait is about 85 mm looks like regular one is better choice for portrait photography.
That’s why i’m keeping my gold 13 pro max till the 17 pro max come out hopefully they change the design of the phone thats what im waiting on all these phones look the same since the 12
The 15 pro max has a pretty good battery life, I had one and only charged it twice a day
I hate when creators post “I was wrong” in their title, it shows that before they were just following a trend of other creators without giving the phone a month of fully testing it out. Creators need to stop with the fake trends just for views and follow in their true intentions not intentions for clout and views.
Exactly
My Z Flip 4has a 6.7 inch screen and I watch a ton of videos on it. So I'm probably going to pick the iPhone 16 Pro Max as my first iphone ever
why the 15 pro only have 2x cinematic? 13 pro&14 pro have 3x cinematic😢
In the end I chose the iPhone 15 Pro Max, after considering my daily use of the device, on the iPhone 15 Pro Max I only need to charge it once, a maximum of 2 times, on the iPhone 15 Pro I charge it 2 to 3 times, if I do it in a year Battery health has decreased greatly on iPhone 15 Pro
15pro vs 14pro is a pears to apples comparison, the 14pro max is completely unusable so it's very understandable to choose the 14pro, where in the case of 15pro max it's substantially more manageable, the 15pro is pretty good if you know how to manage the battery the size is super comfy and after using it exclusively you won't miss the big one, but if you're using both (which only youtubers do) you will feel it small, also about icloud, bruh it's not a necessity specially now with usbc, any cheap usbc drive works for storing whatever you want (if it's important) and the 5x camera it's 3x vs 5x which is almost unnoticeable, if the pro max had the 3x and also the 5x then that would be something to think about, you choose one you loose the other
Exaggerate much?? LOL. The 15 Pro Max weighs the equivalent of 3 quarters less. Hardly nothing. And it is a fraction of a fraction mm narrower.
This mkbhd wannabe is soooo wrong on iCloud. Get an external drive and back up your stuff that way. No monthly payments
I have large hands and don’t like phones that don’t fit in pockets. I have never had a large phone. But I do want that zoom though lol
So I assume your primary is the 15PM
Which color do you prefer ?
I have the Google pixel 7pro it has the same size screen as the iPhone 15pro max I am going to switch to the 15 pro max
#imadeit. Good video!✌️
One has to stand crazy far to use 5x 😮
You don’t need iCloud, at least big plans. Don’t be silly. You can do a full iPhone backup locally via iTunes or Files, manage your own data. This retains more information in the iOS backup than the iCloud counterpart, such as settings, app organisation, custom ringtones. And recently confirmed, it does not back up iPhone system caches. I have a terminal divert to Samsung T7, which is my backup for my 1TB iPhone every 1-2 weeks. You can even encrypt the drive and encrypt the backup with separate passwords.
Been on the XS Max and never went back to the smaller sized phone
Just bought a 15 PRO after having the Samsung S21 for two years, and I must say that I'm very impressed so far. It's the first iphone I've had since iphone 5.
The reason why I personally didn't go for the pro max is its size. It's just to bulky for my liking. With the 15 pro I get everything I need.
Debatably it’s a lot safer to save your photos locally than in a cloud
Using iPhone 15 pro max since a month
You forget something about 128gb storage phones. They can't shoot In raw mode. So there is another advantage for the 14 prom max that come with 256 gb storage
Can’t u save it on iCloud
My 15 pro max gives me 8-9hrs of screen time regularly and I’ve had it since launch. Not a single issue with mine. Battery was a big thing for me and if you’re the same as me, you won’t be disappointed.
Do you still get the same amount of OST now after all the updates?
@@MatthewVlossak yep. Nothing has changed
Pro max always has the best battery life, the pro models never feature long battery
Yes, except we were spoiled by the 13 series whose regular Pro model lasted all day while the Max version on almost 2 days. Those were the times
@@deenorado7233doesn’t the 15 pro max beat the 13 pro max?
@@KungFuWizardOfJesusyou haven’t used the 13 pro max on iOS 15!!!! 13 pm on iOS 15 lasts 2 days for me, 15 pro max barely makes it the first day on iOS 17. Even 13 pro, that phone was getting 10-12 hours screen time
lmao I never had an issue carrying my pro max. I just put it in my pocket. I don't think you need a whole backpack to put it in lmao that's kind of dramatic
I’ve gone pro max from pro 12. I’ll never go back now. Especially since it’s lighter now.
Still Confused after this video because my hands are small and 15 Pro is best for me but I love to do Photography and want a long battery life which comes with 15 PRO MAX
I’m in a similar boat. I want the extra battery life because of making content and editing, which also means I benefit from the longer battery. But I have small hands and the iPhone 12 Pro is already a bit big….
@@loloabq I purchased iPhone 15 Pro Max 4 days ago. so far battery is very good but I'm using phone with both hands. Single handed using is bit risky for dropping
@@samlegend6064Any update on your choice?
I’m using iPhone 15 Pro Max, it’s actually smaller than my last phone which was Samsung. I switched from Android to IOS and I’m happy with my new phone. The battery life is pretty good as well, I charge it until 90% in the evening and the evening on the next day it’s on 50%.
can I ask how much screen time you get?
I have a 13PM and have had all larger size iPhones since the 6 Plus. I really wish there was a Mini but I can see going to smaller Pro from now on. Maybe I’ll wait until 16 or 17 to do so.
A friend of mine sold me a 13 mini for a price I couldn't say no to. The size is easy on my pocket but I do miss the bigger screen and the battery life is not great but it does charge super fast with the smaller battery size and I don't to more than a few hours without access to a charger so it's not a big deal
Which should i buy? 14 PM or 15 pro?
15 Pro MAX- no doubt this time.
Watching from my iPhone 15 pro max white titanium 😁
nice! I want the blue one
iPhone 15 pro too small but then again iPhone 15 pro max too big…I can’t decide 😩😩
Neither. Wait for the 16 pro with 6.3 inch display and new dimensions - 149.6 x 71.4 x 8.4 mm. It’s going to be slightly bigger than 15 pro’s 6.1 screen and 146.6 x 70.6 x 8.3 mm, but smaller than the 15 pro max’s 6.7 inch 159.9 x 76.7 x 8.3 mm (16 pro max is going to be even bigger with 6.9 inch screen). Therefore, the 16 pro is going to be the sweet spot..not too small,not too big.
The white background hurts my eyes… I’m getting old and dying I think? Am I alone… I think it’s just me…. No one else complains 😅
Who else misses the mini series…
Here! We need a thicker designed pro mini.
Nobody
Not me because I own the 13 pro and 13 mini 😉
I really wish thhat reviewers would stop referring to the lenses as "3 ex" or "5 ex"! It's the multiplication factor - therefore 3 TIMES, 5 Times.
Just saying "ex" means nothing - it isn't the name of the lens after all...
It obviously means something of people understand what he’s talking about. What else should we call it? Of all of the problems on the world right now this OSS what you choose to complain about?
The new Samsung S24 ultra
Your pro max is white or natural..? I'm confused )
Natural!
@@TerrenRule wow, it looks completely like the white version when you put it in your pocket!
I got the 15 Pro , the battery is just OK not great
I think the keyboard is a bit small so next up i will buy pro max. Especially because of the battery
Agreed!
The regular pro is too small and the pro max is too big
I thought the volume button act as photo-taking button already, so you wouldn’t need to set the action button for taking photo
That's true! My biggest gripe is specifically pressing the button to initiate the action. That press is a bit harder given the larger Pro Max size.
The battery isn’t good on the pro I had to go with the pro max
bro can you gave me iPhone 15 from Philippines 😢😢😢
Philippines is a very poor country
@@marvbordthey keep voting for world class plunderers and drug lords. So what can you expect.?
MKBSD
I would never put an expensive device such as this in my pocket. It always goes in my bag.
Less safe in a bag than a pocket.
jumping from iphone xr to 15 pro lol
What's that like? Lol
I'm going from a 7 plus to the pro in a 15 pro in a few weeks 😅
going from a 7 32 gigs to the 15 pro in upcoming week. 😆
8 Plus to 15 Pro here. Massive upgrade
Useless just for sosialmedia not for working
Go big or go home! :)
iPhone 15 pro models don't have 128g of storage ...it starts off at 256
First time viewer new subscriber 🙌🏽
Wrong
Only the pro max starts at 256gb
The regular pro starts at 128gb
first!
The battery on the pro is straight up trash. Period, end of story. Now that they fixed the pro max with better ergonomics by slightly curving the sides and the lighter titanium, its a no brainer
iCloud is a scam. Get an external ssd
Or get at least a 512GB model.
I'm a fan of the pro size, however this time, the pro is no where, absolutely terrible battery (even the standard 15 beats it) and the 5 x lens on the Max kills it.
The 15 Pro is a very poor phone this year, which still doesn't make me a fan of the Max, so I'll just skip this upgrade and stick with the 13 Pro
The PM’s 5x switches to digital at times. Plus the 2x-4.9x looks terrible compared to the 15 Pro’s
@@MatthewVlossakThe 3,1-5x zoom is terrible on the 15 Pro as well.
uhhh you black😂😂😂😂.....
And there me who watching this video in my iPhone 12 mini 😅
