Very little difference… except for pro-raw on the 48mp Sensor. It makes me really feel like my 11 Pro Max is worth keeping. And the price. Think 11 Pro Max and an iMac… or just a 14 Pro Max 🧐
I'm honestly surprised to say I prefer the style of processing on the 12 Pro Max most of the time. While the 14 Pro is technically better in many scenarios, the super sharpening really doesn't look good. And I'm not willing to deal with the headache of 70mb files. Another quirk I noticed comparing my wife's 14 Pro to my 12 Pro Max is that the 14 Pro often slightly under exposes images. They're still exposed properly but on the darker side. Lastly when comparing dark areas of the frame of interior shots, the noise/grain has only marginally improved. 2 years used to be a colossal difference in camera performance.
Great video. Definitely not enough to upgrade from 12 Pro Max on camera alone, and not from 13 Pro Max at all. I know making this was a lot of work, but if you keep producing great content you will keep growing. Props.
@@PeterbFree Or you could pick up a used 12 pro max very inexpensive. 11 pro to 12 pro was a big leap in cameras and battery. I have 12 Pro Max. Wife had 11 pro max and just upgraded to 14 pro. We use our cell phone cameras professionally and the difference between 11 to 12 was big.
I’ve been bummed so many times by my 13 Pro Max camera performance, but looking at this comparison, I can tell I’d be even more upset with the 14 Pro. Excited to give this ProRaw to HEIF shortcut a try though. Thanks Max and fam!
I appreciate the hard work you put into making this video. I ordered the 14 max and coming from the 12 pro, I am not too thrilled with how it’s looking.
Thank you! Don't know if I want to go through this amount of work again next year, but if it gets enough views I might. I could have made 3 other videos instead of this one lol but I like to see the differences instead of Apples Marketing.
It's strange how some video reviews make me think the quality of the 14 over the 12 is massive, but then I see a comprehensive review like this and realize the difference isn't really that big and I'm better off waiting for the 15 to upgrade. Thanks for the video!
these "tech reviewers" kind of need a reality check. saying that the 12 pro max "sucks" is not true at all, yes obviously the 13 and 14 will do better but the 12 still has a fantastic camera, even the 11. i just upgraded from a 6s plus to the 12 pro and the difference is actually mind-blowing, the camera is incredible. the upgrade from the 12 or even 11 to the 14 is not worth it.
Came back to comment two things: You have a beautiful family and I respect the hustle to make these videos! They are so informative. The time, effort and dedication to make them shines. All the best 👏
Thank you so much! This was so much work you wouldn't believe it.. Probably 3X more work than most of our videos and 10x more than some of the easier ones.

@@MaxTechOfficial Also, what’s the church you go to that was in this video and the others? It looked awesome! I go to Wellspring Church in Toms River NJ and always looking for new churches to follow and connect with 😊

Scrolling through the comments and I found yours and had to say something because what are the chances I run across a person I at least somewhat have a vague connection with in real life lol. I used to work with your sister, and we have some mutual church friends lol. And here you are on the youtubes. small world.
The amount of time you took just to do this video is incredible 👍🏻, this was the comparison I wanted to see you really went deep in detail and made me happier about my 14 pro purchase while most of the other reviews took 1 or two photos and said they looked the same!…I love to watch these videos because it tells me the strengths and weaknesses of the cameras and while it sucks that in some things got better in some situations it got worse but I’m still happy with the 14 pro :) overall a great camera , just needed some software tweaks here and there, good job once again !
Love the comparison to multiple generations of devices. Many of us don’t upgrade devices every year, so the multi-generational comparison is truly useful. Doing the same for laptops, etc. would be great. Just think about how long people keep their devices (3-5 years) before upgrading. Then use that timeframe as the basis for the comparisons. That would be huge for anyone trying to decide if they should make the investment to upgrade. THANK-YOU!
I’m upgrading to the 14 pro max from my 12 pro max. Better cameras, AOD, brighter screen, 120hz and better battery. I think it’s a worthy upgrade plus I’m getting a great deal by trading my 12 pro max in for it. Can’t wait!
The expectation for camera on the iPhone is unique for each person. I have the 13 Pro. I went home back in February and spend time with family and it was night time. So it was an opportunity for me to try out the Night Mode with my 13 Pro. Everybody were blown away by the quality of the photos. I was shocked because I was a bit skeptical. I have to admit that the camera of the 13 Pro is impressive. I'm not a professional photographer by any means. Being an art major who was required to take Photography 101 back in the late 80's when digital camera was unheard of, I know a good quality photo when I see it. I've seen people with the most expensive cameras and have taken horrible photos. There is a science into taking photos. Understandign the lights and the F-Stop and aperture and so forth. A lot of stuffs have to be factored in and taken into consideration on how the photo is being taken.To sum it up, my 13 Pro does what I expect it to do and I'm pleased with the results. Great informative video as always!
I actually like using 14 pro with proraw 1.7x crop (40mm eq) instead of 2x, which gives a slightly higher than 12mp image and looks fantastic without the enormous file sizes
@@WeezyZZ Try what I said and take proraw photos with a 1.5 to 2x zoom and check the file sizes (should be smaller). Size is less of an issue with the raw to heif shortcut converter from max tech although it is an extra step.
The biggest reason to upgrade to 14 Pro is the 48MP ProRAW shooting. The images are just next level above what you can get out of a 13 Pro. You’ll see the potential if you edit in Lightroom.
@@mootsym The pro raw shots are designed to be flat compared to JPGs. ProRAW removed all of the post processing and allows you to do most of the editing to make the photo the way you want it. iPhone Photos editor is ok but Lightroom Mobile is the industry standard.
А если вы купите еще профессиональную камеру от Sony, так вообще мир перевернется, вы сами то поняли, что сказали?))) Зачем мне покупать втридорого смартфон, чтобы потом еще заниматься редактированием после работы, тратя на это уйму времени, ну тупость и бесцельные расходы!
Thanks! Very detailed review. You have a lot of patience. Most of the video was about photography. Is that because you feel that your audience is primarily interested in photography. Or is it because video is harder to review because it's primarily about story and character, not specs. People examine photos in detail, but just watch videos. Therefore, video isn't as "review friendly" as photography.
I went from 12PM to 14 Pro - and frankly if I was upgrading primarily for camera upgrades I think I’d be disappointed. Yes there are some improvements but not enough to make me want to change personally. All the other upgrades that I got made it worth it in my circumstance though.
What else is there? I don’t even notice a speed difference between my XS Max 12 pm and 13 pm, the display is the exact same except for the “dynamic island” thing that really doesn’t matter
@@lowbudgetechie i have an XS and a 13 pro; yeah the 13 pro is better but the colors, saturation and sharpening on the XS is waaay better and more natural... i dont know whats going on at Apple nowadays
@@lowbudgetechie That’s my complaint too. Also when I’ve tried to take a photo to illustrate a color I’ve struggled my @$$ off trying to get the 13 PM to represent it accurately … meanwhile 11 Pro just tap the shutter 9 times out of 10. 13 obviously has better sensors and can be made to take better photos, but I much prefer the older algorithms more often than not. Apple needs to give the newer phones the ability to disable Smart HDR
It will improve. The new sensor needs a lot of post processing and the software is very new and shows. The same thing happened when Samsung release the 108MP sensor in the S20 Ultra.
This is really interesting, I'd be really interested to see an iOS16 vs iPhone14 an iOS17 iPhone14 next year to see how much of a difference iOS makes.
11:03 That's not how focusing works. If it made a difference the background in the 14's shots would be blurrier. What I think happened that either in the previous gens they artificially blurred the background for portraits or just the lens or processing got improved. Where the autofocus shows is the sharpness of the faces, that only. That focal length of lens focuses to infinity at 1 m or less, so there's no real blurring there, anyways. I don't get the obsession with blur. It's kitch, these short lenses preserve all they can while not catching anything particularly well (like "f/8 and be there"), they are not large cameras. A slightly larger sensor with a larger denominator in the f/ stop could improve the selfie quality, add EIS/OIS for low light. Beauty effects/blurs really should be optional and improved a lot as well (but this is nothing more than an opinion, ofc).
Thanks for all the work your put into this. I really like the blend of a pro photographer perspective with an everyday user perspective. Your results and thoughts really go a long way for a casual photographer who likes to shoot with both DSLR/Mirrorless and with a phone.
I think we have reached the development in phone cameras that there isn’t a truly noticeable difference between a camera from the same company unless you go 2-3 generations newer. The only way to see such minute pixel peeping differences is to put them side by side, but those days of taking a photo with a new phone and instantly knowing it was way better without needing to compare are over. Bad for tech enthusiasts however good for everyone. It means your current phone feels ‘good enough’ for longer and there’s less pressure to get a new one. This is actually the best thing for the environment tbh. It’s also the reason I felt very little need to upgrade from my pixel 4xl. Even though the new phones (pixel 6, iPhone 13 Pro Max, Samsung s22U) had finally surpassed it because the hardware differences just couldn’t be overcome with software any longer, the pictures it still put out where plenty good. That’s why devices like the pixel 6a can still take great photos that 95% of people would be happy with Sorry for the long rant
I appreciate these in-depth reviews. I am not one of those that does an “auto update” purchase on any schedule. These videos just help me cut through all the Apple hype and find out what is new. I do find it crazy that some make a spontaneous purchase decision based on a justification they were HOPING to find that has, in reality, little to no real benefit. I spend little more on a professional studio camera that will last for a decade. Apple has some great products but their mastery of hype exceeds their meaningful innovations.
Firstly, all three of these phones give great photos, but I’m liking the 13 pro max overall except for the selfie. The 48MP headliner doesn’t look like it warrants the extra cash, plus you take a hit on battery life. Think I’ll give this year a pass.
Same. If you have an iPhone 13 pro max then wait for iPhone 15 because 13 pro max was like an 12 work max s and the iPhone 15 pro max will be like iPhone 14a pro max.
It's simple really, this is the best camera comparison of the last Pro Max on the internet. Thank you for this SERIOUS work and for not wasting 23 min of my life
Dang, awesome video, amazing detail and transitions are top notch. Thanks guys! I especially enjoyed the Night mode comparison, I had a suspicion that the newer iPhone’s night shots are actually darker and moodier than the 12 Pro Max’s, and I was right!
Love how detailed these videos are. I have a 12 pro max and I think it’s time to upgrade. Being that I love taking pictures and video, I am a bit discouraged after seeing this video. I was expecting a massive upgrade, but it seems like Apple bit off more than they could chew with this one and it ultimately makes it feel like a rushed an unfinished camera. I’m really debating on what to do now as I think the 12 feels old, but the 14 hasn’t impressed me enough. I thought the 13 would, and it didn’t. Then the 14 comes out, and overall I’m still not impressed. I’m an apple fanatic but jeez, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try harder to keep up with its competitors.
In hindsight the 12 PM camera has actually held up very well, so whether you stick with it for another year or upgrade, you’ll still have a flagship level camera
@@DarkFlame8777 oh man, I didn’t even know about the phone not having usbc. I took in my AirPods for repair and I saw the 14 models and was pretty shocked when I saw the same charging port, I figured usbc was just a given by now. Apple 15 it is.
Say what you want but I think the 12 Pro Max is holding its own for the most part, now i am really in no rush to upgrade because I already updated the software and it can basically do everything else. I'll just wait for the 15 maybe , rumor mill has already begun lol
Upgrading to the 14 pro max from the 12 pro max as my current phone is starting to slow down and I need more storage. Glad to see some of these improvements
Now I know why This comparative video took more time. You did an amazing job with it, I think we all appreciate your hard work and good job, excellent video guys !!
As someone said, it’s the 48 megapixel shots that are absolutely stunning! If you’re not into working with your photos and printing high quality or watching on a bigger screen it’s of course less interesting to upgrade from 12 or 13. I think most won’t use the 48 mp option. But I will 😊 Oh, and I upgraded from XR so everything is better for me..😂
While I recognise that the 14pm shots were better in some instances, I was decidedly, and surprisingly, underwhelmed! I was never going to upgrade right now but wait for the 16pm/ultra before saying goodbye to my 12pm.
@@WillNewcomb love the macro. And 120 hz is more of a nice to have. Things are ultra smooth to scroll and swipe but you can probably live without it till the 16 pm
It's incredible how much your son looks like you! Your kids are fantastic models. Congrats on a great video; I can only imagine how much work went into it.
Coming from a 12 Pro Max and being offered $1,000 on trade-in, my wife and I had no choice but to make this switch because the deal was too good to pass. Coming from that camera, it shows a very large improvement - especially with the telephoto and wide angle. The “50mm” option is also very useful and looks like any other iPhone photo from the regular sensor. I will say that I didn’t experience the odd minimum focusing restrictions you demonstrated in this video. We have no trouble scanning documents, or getting close enough to capture a full screen photo of a check to deposit, or document to scan…so I really don’t know what to tell you with your camera not being able to get close enough to focus on them?
Enjoy your new phones thats a great deal! The iPhone will auto switch to the ultra wide with a 400% crop when you get close to the minimal focusing distance, but the quality is quite a bit worst and dramatically worse if the lighting is bad compared to taking those photos with their older iphone. I didn't talk about it too much because I had to keep commentary short since the video is already so long but its because of the much larger sensor.
I was so excited when I saw that you finally posted this video, since I love these in depth comparisons between each generation when it comes to camera. Thank you for doing this, amazing video as expected!
@@MaxTechOfficial i really enjoyed it Bro! But i was a bit disappointed by the low light performance of the 14 pro- thought it would have been night and day compared to the 12pro max
I feel like everyone just forgot about photographic styles on iphone since the 13. I feel like these differences in warmth and saturation can be addressed to preference through those
Me who can't wait another year. 🥹🤡 It's gonna be my 2st ever iPhone so I don't know if I still have the patience to wait for the 15.. I can't sleep because of this lmao
Max, I am waiting for your camera comparison between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max. I always trust your videos as a reliable reference. Alpha Tech has some comparisons up, and quite bizarrely, the 14 Pro Max seems to have the better camera with more natural shadows and highlights compared to the 15 Pro Max’s hyped highlights and exposure. Waiting to see your reviews!
I was looking for a front camera only comparison as it's all I use for content creation and you barely cover it! Would appreciate a new version with the iphone 15 pro

I don't get the obsession with blur. It's kitch, these short lenses preserve all they can while not catching anything particularly well (like "f/8 and be there"), they are not large cameras. A slightly larger sensor with a larger denominator in the f/ stop could improve the selfie quality, add EIS/OIS for low light. Beauty effects/blurs really should be optional and improved a lot as well (but this is nothing more than an opinion, ofc).
13 pro Max the Best !!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for all the work your put into this. I really like the blend of a pro photographer perspective with an everyday user perspective. Your results and thoughts really go a long way for a casual photographer who likes to shoot with both DSLR/Mirrorless and with a phone.
Thank you! I had to keep commentary very simple and short because the video is so long already.
currently using the 13 pro max. This new photonic engine is a game changer, excited to see what Apple has to offer 2 years from now.
@@stevemuzak8526 iphone 16 or 17 hahah
I can always count on Max Tech for different Apple and Samsung products 🙂
I think we have reached the development in phone cameras that there isn’t a truly noticeable difference between a camera from the same company unless you go 2-3 generations newer.
The only way to see such minute pixel peeping differences is to put them side by side, but those days of taking a photo with a new phone and instantly knowing it was way better without needing to compare are over.
Bad for tech enthusiasts however good for everyone. It means your current phone feels ‘good enough’ for longer and there’s less pressure to get a new one. This is actually the best thing for the environment tbh.
It’s also the reason I felt very little need to upgrade from my pixel 4xl. Even though the new phones (pixel 6, iPhone 13 Pro Max, Samsung s22U) had finally surpassed it because the hardware differences just couldn’t be overcome with software any longer, the pictures it still put out where plenty good. That’s why devices like the pixel 6a can still take great photos that 95% of people would be happy with
Sorry for the long rant
I appreciate these in-depth reviews. I am not one of those that does an “auto update” purchase on any schedule. These videos just help me cut through all the Apple hype and find out what is new. I do find it crazy that some make a spontaneous purchase decision based on a justification they were HOPING to find that has, in reality, little to no real benefit. I spend little more on a professional studio camera that will last for a decade. Apple has some great products but their mastery of hype exceeds their meaningful innovations.
I am definitely not upgrading to a 14 pro max from a 12 pro max anymore after seeing this video. Thank you for this video Max Tech.
This is the one I waited for. I really appreciate this comparison. I hope you continue to make them each year.
Firstly, all three of these phones give great photos, but I’m liking the 13 pro max overall except for the selfie. The 48MP headliner doesn’t look like it warrants the extra cash, plus you take a hit on battery life. Think I’ll give this year a pass.
Same. If you have an iPhone 13 pro max then wait for iPhone 15 because 13 pro max was like an 12 work max s and the iPhone 15 pro max will be like iPhone 14a pro max.
No one does comparisons better than you… Only valid camera comparison on RUclips.
It's simple really, this is the best camera comparison of the last Pro Max on the internet. Thank you for this SERIOUS work and for not wasting 23 min of my life
Dang, awesome video, amazing detail and transitions are top notch. Thanks guys!
I especially enjoyed the Night mode comparison, I had a suspicion that the newer iPhone’s night shots are actually darker and moodier than the 12 Pro Max’s, and I was right!
i’m on the 12 pro max, and i was thinking about upgrading-um yeah no i’ll wait it out
Love how detailed these videos are.
I have a 12 pro max and I think it’s time to upgrade. Being that I love taking pictures and video, I am a bit discouraged after seeing this video. I was expecting a massive upgrade, but it seems like Apple bit off more than they could chew with this one and it ultimately makes it feel like a rushed an unfinished camera. I’m really debating on what to do now as I think the 12 feels old, but the 14 hasn’t impressed me enough. I thought the 13 would, and it didn’t. Then the 14 comes out, and overall I’m still not impressed. I’m an apple fanatic but jeez, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try harder to keep up with its competitors.
In hindsight the 12 PM camera has actually held up very well, so whether you stick with it for another year or upgrade, you’ll still have a flagship level camera
Waiting for 15 pro max. I’ve never skipped the single generation. Now I will skip two!
@@Rainbow775 13 came out- not impressed, 14 comes out- still not impressed. Hoping the 15 does us right!
@@Jesseenite you should also wait for USBC as the transfer of those large files are slow so 15 pro max will be an actual upgrade
@@DarkFlame8777 oh man, I didn’t even know about the phone not having usbc. I took in my AirPods for repair and I saw the 14 models and was pretty shocked when I saw the same charging port, I figured usbc was just a given by now. Apple 15 it is.
Say what you want but I think the 12 Pro Max is holding its own for the most part, now i am really in no rush to upgrade because I already updated the software and it can basically do everything else. I'll just wait for the 15 maybe , rumor mill has already begun lol
Upgrading to the 14 pro max from the 12 pro max as my current phone is starting to slow down and I need more storage. Glad to see some of these improvements
I must say, it's the best comparison I have come across. Great job! Thank you!
Wow this could’ve been broken up into two or more videos. Great comparison! Appreciate all the work you put into this
I just entered youtube with my meal and watching this perfect!!
The BEST iPhone comparison channel. YOU and only YOU do the extreme job of doing it seriously. Thank you!
I just bought my self iPhone 14 pro max yesterday and I love it
I’m using my iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 16 with a recent battery replacement and it’s bliss 😎 keeping it for a while longer now.
How much did it cost for the replacement
How much did it cost for the replacement?
Now I know why This comparative video took more time. You did an amazing job with it, I think we all appreciate your hard work and good job, excellent video guys !!
Got the 14 pro, on it’s way, hopefully everything will be fine, it’s my first iphone, only used ipads till now
Appreciate you guys doing all the hard work making these videos.
oh my God, that must've took a lot of work and effort to make that video . big thanks .
The comparison I've been waiting for.
New subscribers this video needs it’s respect!! Awesome video!!
As someone said, it’s the 48 megapixel shots that are absolutely stunning! If you’re not into working with your photos and printing high quality or watching on a bigger screen it’s of course less interesting to upgrade from 12 or 13. I think most won’t use the 48 mp option. But I will 😊 Oh, and I upgraded from XR so everything is better for me..😂
I upgraded from the 6s. Lol.
Glad I got the 13 , great camera and great battery
Great video. I’m certainly keeping my 13pro after watching this.
I was waiting this video since 2020
Thanks
Max Tech
This is what I'm looking for, so glad someone made this! Very useful, thank you so much.
While I recognise that the 14pm shots were better in some instances, I was decidedly, and surprisingly, underwhelmed! I was never going to upgrade right now but wait for the 16pm/ultra before saying goodbye to my 12pm.
I came from 12 pm and got the 14 pm for macro and 120 hz screen.
@@seren1ty755 I've never experienced 120Hz so don't know what I'm missing (which is fine by me). I'd love some macro capability though.
@@WillNewcomb love the macro. And 120 hz is more of a nice to have. Things are ultra smooth to scroll and swipe but you can probably live without it till the 16 pm
@@WillNewcomb It's really unnecessary
I have the 12 pro max and don’t see the need to spend the big bucks and upgrade to the 14 pro max.
Best camera comparison by far!! THANKS
This is what I waiting for. Needed proper 12 pro comparisons
It's incredible how much your son looks like you! Your kids are fantastic models.
Congrats on a great video; I can only imagine how much work went into it.
Coming from a 12 Pro Max and being offered $1,000 on trade-in, my wife and I had no choice but to make this switch because the deal was too good to pass. Coming from that camera, it shows a very large improvement - especially with the telephoto and wide angle. The “50mm” option is also very useful and looks like any other iPhone photo from the regular sensor. I will say that I didn’t experience the odd minimum focusing restrictions you demonstrated in this video. We have no trouble scanning documents, or getting close enough to capture a full screen photo of a check to deposit, or document to scan…so I really don’t know what to tell you with your camera not being able to get close enough to focus on them?
Enjoy your new phones thats a great deal! The iPhone will auto switch to the ultra wide with a 400% crop when you get close to the minimal focusing distance, but the quality is quite a bit worst and dramatically worse if the lighting is bad compared to taking those photos with their older iphone. I didn't talk about it too much because I had to keep commentary short since the video is already so long but its because of the much larger sensor.
I think it was worth the effort you put in. It is an excellent and complete comparison. Thank you very much! you got a new fan.
I always like your videos before watching it. Support for you all the way.
It was the best comparison i have ever seen thanks a lot grate work 👌🏻
I was so excited when I saw that you finally posted this video, since I love these in depth comparisons between each generation when it comes to camera. Thank you for doing this, amazing video as expected!
When new iPhone released, always waited for their content, so much better than other review.
Thank you!
This video has all the facts and comparisons I wanted to see. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this effort full video!!!
Thank you for watching! Let me know your thoughts after you watch the full thing!
@@MaxTechOfficial i really enjoyed it Bro! But i was a bit disappointed by the low light performance of the 14 pro- thought it would have been night and day compared to the 12pro max
if you are wedding shooter you should know the differcence between digital zoom and sensor crop
I feel like everyone just forgot about photographic styles on iphone since the 13. I feel like these differences in warmth and saturation can be addressed to preference through those
Fantastic comparison. Thank you for posting.
terrific test run of the 3 cameras thkU
I was waiting for your two friends sharing this video with you
thanks for the effort put in these video comparisons
Your family is so cute ! Perfect models
Still keeping my 12 pro max. I don’t think it is worthy to update now. Waiting for iPhone 15 to decide.
Hi. I got the samsung s20 FE and can buy a refurbishd iphone 12 pro 256gb for 600,-. Its in perfect shape.
Should i buy one or get 13/pro???
Thnk u :)
@@sjam8167 They are basically the same thing. You will save the money with 12 pro max and still have the same thing.
AMAZING COMPARISON !
Having a 12 pro max, its funny to see such small improvements. At this pace I wont upgrade untill IPhone 20 😂
Amazing , thanks to your video I have been inspired to stick with the XS max
Makes me excited when I upgrade my iPhone Xs to the iPhone 15 pro/ultra and get all the new features
Me who can't wait another year. 🥹🤡 It's gonna be my 2st ever iPhone so I don't know if I still have the patience to wait for the 15.. I can't sleep because of this lmao
As always perfect comparison video from the Max!
This is the best, in depth comparison. Been waiting a long while for this and your delivered a great video! ❤
Glad you liked it!
Your Doing A Great Job Max! Really In Depth!
I like how you’ve made your video with your sweet family members🤩
Looking at the 14 pro max results,, i’ll keep my 12 promax until the camera system “really” improve, thanks for the comparison!
Best iphone camera review here
Great video Max and the team. I’ve been waiting for this video for ages!
Thanks indeed for these exceptional efforts.
I’ve been hoping someone would do this comparison thank you
forget about the camera comparison, you get to see that kind of view everyday morning???
man you're really lucky.
Loving the Vortex hat, keep up the great content Max!
Max, I am waiting for your camera comparison between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max. I always trust your videos as a reliable reference.
Alpha Tech has some comparisons up, and quite bizarrely, the 14 Pro Max seems to have the better camera with more natural shadows and highlights compared to the 15 Pro Max’s hyped highlights and exposure.
Waiting to see your reviews!
I was looking for a front camera only comparison as it's all I use for content creation and you barely cover it! Would appreciate a new version with the iphone 15 pro
Excellent job, especially for a photographer perspective. Huge compiling work! Congrats!
Thanks so much for this! I feel a bit better about my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Except extreme night shots.
Thanks and greets from Germany
