Comparing my 15 to my wife’s 14 Pro, I think the 14 Pro generally performs better in lower light and also has a better ultra wide lens. I’d probably say that the 14 Pro has a better overall camera. But I rarely use the camera and would rather have USB C and a better battery life so I went with the 15.
@@xnomisbradley8819 I would probably say that it’s noticeable but not a huge difference. But she has her 14 Pro with always on display so that might be draining her battery a little bit.
@katadoto This is a tough one, but I'd pick the 15 for the battery life and USB C. Being able to transfer videos more easily and faster to external storage would be useful to me
I feel like this video misses a lot of the advantages of the 14 Pro, and undeservedly paints the 15 in a better light. The camera section misses a lot of the features exclusive to the 14 Pro. Night mode portraits, macro photography, Apple ProRAW, as well as ProRes video are all exclusive to the 14 Pro. In addition, the video incorrectly claims that only the 15 can adjust the focus point of portrait mode after a picture is taken. This is an understandable mistake as Apple advertises this feature for the 15 a lot, but is indeed on the iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 17. Take a portrait mode shot on it and give it a go- it’ll be there. In addition, this video also misses features like standby mode and the lidar sensor, which are both exclusive to the 14 Pro and pretty useful. The 1TB storage option is also exclusive to it as well. For battery life, Apple claims 23 hours of video playback on the 14 Pro, and 20 hours on the 15. I trust your estimate is accurate but can’t help wondering if part of the reason for the difference is because your 14 Pro is a year older and the battery is degraded. It is also unclear if the numbers you give are using a the 120HZ mode or not, which would further lower it. Lastly, I feel this video really just undersells the advantages of the 14 Pro even where it acknowledges them. The 120hz display is a huge improvement, the always-on-display is handy, the 3x telephoto lens makes long distance shots better. The scoring makes the 15 seem like the clear choice when in reality, the design is toss-up, camera is a toss-up (one I’d probably give to the 14 Pro), and the battery life and charging is a tossup (one I’d probably give to the 15 for USB-C). Overall, I think the 14 Pro at the same price is the clearly better phone for anyone who doesn’t really want USB-C. If you want my source for this info I’ve linked to it here: www.apple.com/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-14-pro,iphone-15
For someone like me who stopped using an iPhone in 2019 after it got stolen, I think the iPhone 15 is my choice of an upgrade since the offers for postpaid of iPhone 15 and 14 Pro are almost the same.
15, no doubt. The camera enhancements, build quality, and weight. All reasons to forget the 60htz nonsense cause baby these things are smooth. Just a nicer phone overall.
@shaafay The iPhone 15 is the perfect iPhone to get this year in my opinion. It has the much awaited USB-C port plus the new 48mp camera sensors. These two features alone make it an upgrade from the 14 Pro. Yeah, it’s missing the high refresh rate, but I honestly never notice it that much and it doesn’t bother me.
@@bboyggez yup I meant the new 48mp sensors on the base model iPhone's plus the USB-C port together make it a more appealing buy than last year's Pro model
@joshuabuwono i think you miss the weight factor too. the aluminium body on iphone 15 is so light compare to the pro iphone. i use the 14 pro for long time and it seem a bit heavy on hand. for long term and comfort, i think people choose iphone 15 rather than last year pro. by the way, great review as always
me personally went for the 15, honestly the 120hz screen is not sth i do really care about on a daily basis. The 60hz that regular iphones offer is more than enough for me because of how smooth they are, so actually it's not a real problem to me. Besides, I got an iPad Air 5 and being able to charge both devices using one charger is also a big possitive point that made me go for the 15. Also the battery life was a huge must-to consider for me so that's another reason why i chose it.
@@karimdaher5367 Great choice. I eventually went for the 15 pro since i got a great deal for it. Tbh i didnt really need a pro phone, i barely care about the pro features. the 120 hz is lovely tho, but who cares really, its just a phone. we consume media thats 60 hz or below so who cares
I'd say I love the iPhone 15! In fact it was on my Christmas wishlist but sadly didn't get it lol.😂 hopefully this New Year though. Also this video is very informative! Congrats again for hitting 100k subs!
iphone 14 pro: better display, aod, same camera + macro lense, comfortable in hand, lightning charging, lidar sensor, same chip iphone 15: crappier display, no aod, same camera no macro lense, comfortable in hand usbc, same chip I have both devices, and I would take the 14 pro all day. After using 120 hz, you can’t go back. It feels really choppy and slow and it’s very annoying. You talk about having a 48 mp camera, but the iphone 14 pro has that as well in pro res. The iphone 15 is better than the iphone 14, and the iphone 14 pro is also better than the iphone 14. It is an upgrade of the last generation, and the iphone 15 pro is an upgrade of the iphone 14 pro. If it were just those two devices, ignoring the other phones in our lineup it’s so obvious that the iphone 14 pro is the better devices.
wdyt about battery life on 14pro? i recently was in a tough spot of choosing one or another but went with 14pro in the end mainly cuz of the display, i really want to see 120hz on the phone, hopefully its not a mistake xd (cuz i will get used to it and wont be able to move to 60hz again after haha). 15 and 14pro with 256 gb have almost the same price according to some sellers suggestions here so i chose the second option. only thing that scares me is its battery, that it will die too quickly throughout the day or hearing reports from other ppl that it already has ~87% bc after a year of usage also makes me nervous a bit... but i will try to not be a heavy user with it qq coming from 7plus which dies really quickly these days (wow no wonder, its 7 years old now - you served me well, but after changing the battery in nov '23 two times already (three, if counting first replacement) nothing has changed, it still dies just as quickly - it is probably natural though 😔). so i'm a little afraid that 14pro will die just *as* quickly after 5-6 hours of the screen being on (7p holds for 3-4 hours at best rn i think?? and i have to charge it everyday, if not twice a day). after re-reading this comment i think that i'm far from a light phone user 💀 nooo. i need to fight my habits
@stephennerus In my opinion I think the iPhone 14 Pro has more features I.e pro-motion display 120hz, Pro raw, prores and a telephoto lens The only thing it missing is type c I feel 14 Pro is a better buy for it pro features
Hey Dion! Great content! I would honestly get either the 14 Pro or the 15 Pro! The Deep Purple and Titanium Blue are GORGEOUS colors 🙌🏼 But to get the 14 Pro, I would either it from Back Market or Amazon Renewed! But which one would be the better place to get the 14 Pro from?
iPhone 15 is just better ! Switching form an iPhone 13 pro max and yes, initially the 60hz was a bit weird and a pain to my eyes. But, after a couple of hours it was all smooth and adequately fine.
No its not, the 14 pro is miles better than the base 15 you are fucking coping with buying the worse phone. 60hz is terrible and apple shouldnt even sell 60hz phones anymore. You literally downgrade by buying the 15 and you would have been better off keeping the 13PM, you didn't even need to upgrade because the 13PM is still a very capable phone in 2024
@@Allxre Perhaps you're the one coping cause you're using the 14 pro yourselves 💀. The 15 has the same chipset as the 14 pro, a better battery life, it has the same dynamic island, a slimmer design, same frosted back and a 1 year extra major update. So, The 15 is miles ahead. And, 60hz is not a concern for the majority of users ! I myself turned the feature off on my s23 due to it's poor battery life. Edit : it has rounded frames and the type c too😮💨🤌🏻
kephinio I'd go with the 15 as I love the matte back. I've been constantly annoyed a bit with the back of the iPhone 14 Plus. But I love the colour and the feeling of it in the hand. That's why I only use a case when I'm outside the house.
Heard about freezing & glitching. I’m hoping my iPhone 15 Plus (which is in the mail) doesn’t have these issues. I plan on keeping it for many, many years.
@iturnovel Although the price difference might seem marginal, opting for the 15 is like unlocking a treasure trove of added features. Personally, I'd lean towards the 15 for its enhanced functionalities. This video is a gem for those seeking guidance. Fantastic work, Dion! Keep shining and innovating
Good video. But you should rather tell the prices we have to pay here in Europe and how we get fleeced. iPhone 15 = 950 Euro (1057 $), iPhone 14 Pro = 1300 Euro (1447$). But yes, all manufacturers do that as they can get away with that...
Idk how we arrived at a point where the stainless steel case is considered more “premium” than the aluminium one. These steel phones feel like absolute bricks in the hand and have much worse thermal conductivity making the phone overheat more easily. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I prefer a phone that is easy to use with one hand (small screen) and feel light and comfortable. The iPhone 15 checks pretty much all of those boxes although I would like it even more if there was a mini option available.
@mmwansajr I think the 14 pro is the better buy. People always rock there phones with a case (like Spigen cases 😏) so the build isn't a biggie. And the iPhone camera, even with their very very minor upgrade with each new phone, will always be great regardless. Hope you had an amazing Christmas and have an awesome new year. Love to see your continuous dedication to your craft. BIG UP! 💪🏾
Bruh!!! I got a 15 pro! And trust me once u get a hang of the pro motion and other features, there's def no way u would go back to the base variant. The 60hz is just too slow! And feel wise as well! The pro is way ahead!
answer is depend to the person honestly, mine is 15 Pro because USB C! all of my work device used 100% USB C except on my previous 12 Pro device, so it's such a nice upgrade to me
In India, I am getting the iPhone 15 128GB variant for around 58000 rupees or you could say 686.88 dollars and at the same time 14pro for around 1441.72. Its almost double the price of the regular 15 and the only thing it is better than the 15 is that it has a 120Hz display
@mjmerces it's kinda crazy how base model iphones have achieved this level of maturity, where it does not fall behind the pro lineup in almost any category that's a great move Apple 🙏🏻
And , would you mind creating new comparing factor which gonna be the microphone of the phone . As a one who is addicted to listen to music and watching movies, sound will definitely matters !
good info: but i dont like pros cuz the battery life in a day sucks, but i just bought a 15 pro max, and i was gonna return it for a 15 or 15 plus, which one should i buy, and how many more hours does the plus last tthan the regualr 15? liked and subbed well deserved!
@kaileyarry First of all congratulation for the 100k ❤🎉 Secondly I personally will choose the iphone 15 for the size and shape. Like you're going to notice it everyyy time you use the phone. and also for all the new features you've talked about. I dreamed about the iphone 15 black last night, was that a sign of god? idk, i will discover it tomorrow.😂 Alright good luck everyone ❤
@firerains Honestly I would’ve chosen the 14 pro because because where I live it cost cheaper then the iPhone 15 and it gives you better display 120 refresh rate, a telephoto camera and the main camera photos are already great, and the hardware looks premium.
i just recently watch this video and early last month cant decide if i choose the 15 or ip 14 pro ….man, you make me feel good choosing the ip 15 now thanks. ❤
@chad_artiaga12 I would choose 14Pro. Always go for Pro version. The Pro version features ProMotion technology, which is Apple's way of saying it has a variable refresh rate between 10Hz and 120Hz.
@sebunelebunmiriku I heard about the poor battery longevity of the 14 Pro series where its battery health tends to drain much faster than previous iPhones. I'm not entirely sure if it is just a local problem or just few devices are hit, but it's making me reconsider the 14 Pro. Is it a known issue?
I just got the 15 but probably would’ve preferred the 14 pro but I wasn’t able to find any iPhone 14 pros under like 950 so it was cheaper to get the 15. Buy I’m very happy with my 15 so far but it’s only been a few days 😅

@hollywood.bowl I would choose the 14 pro because the iPhone 15 has USB-C which personally I don’t like and the 14 Pro has LiDAR Scanner which is very helpful to me and 14 pro also has telephoto lens so there’s a lot of differences also, 14 Pro has 120hz refresh rate. Nevertheless iPhone 15 is still a great phone.
The only reason the iPhone 14 Pro didn’t have good battery at the end of the day could have been degraded Battery life since it is over a year old now.

Comparing my 15 to my wife’s 14 Pro, I think the 14 Pro generally performs better in lower light and also has a better ultra wide lens. I’d probably say that the 14 Pro has a better overall camera. But I rarely use the camera and would rather have USB C and a better battery life so I went with the 15.
exactly why I choosed this phone too,It's great,I rarely use the camera too.
is it a huuge difference with the battery life?
@@xnomisbradley8819 I would probably say that it’s noticeable but not a huge difference. But she has her 14 Pro with always on display so that might be draining her battery a little bit.
@@baskorosuryaputra1925but it’s usb 2
Black case looks gorgeous!
I had the iPhone 15 in blue for a month now, and all i can say is it’s amazing in different aspects😀
Gorgeous is the battery good??
the battery is definitely good
You happy now?
any updates
@mardikas
I would rather go for the 14 Pro because refresh rate is important to me and I like having 3 lenses.
@katadoto
This is a tough one, but I'd pick the 15 for the battery life and USB C. Being able to transfer videos more easily and faster to external storage would be useful to me
It’s usb 2 though
@@dorukyalcinsoy ??? its usb c
that's it! thanks for the decisive, no nonsense judgement. I go with iPhone15. Thanks.
My pleasure
I feel like this video misses a lot of the advantages of the 14 Pro, and undeservedly paints the 15 in a better light.
The camera section misses a lot of the features exclusive to the 14 Pro. Night mode portraits, macro photography, Apple ProRAW, as well as ProRes video are all exclusive to the 14 Pro. In addition, the video incorrectly claims that only the 15 can adjust the focus point of portrait mode after a picture is taken. This is an understandable mistake as Apple advertises this feature for the 15 a lot, but is indeed on the iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 17. Take a portrait mode shot on it and give it a go- it’ll be there.
In addition, this video also misses features like standby mode and the lidar sensor, which are both exclusive to the 14 Pro and pretty useful. The 1TB storage option is also exclusive to it as well.
For battery life, Apple claims 23 hours of video playback on the 14 Pro, and 20 hours on the 15. I trust your estimate is accurate but can’t help wondering if part of the reason for the difference is because your 14 Pro is a year older and the battery is degraded. It is also unclear if the numbers you give are using a the 120HZ mode or not, which would further lower it.
Lastly, I feel this video really just undersells the advantages of the 14 Pro even where it acknowledges them. The 120hz display is a huge improvement, the always-on-display is handy, the 3x telephoto lens makes long distance shots better. The scoring makes the 15 seem like the clear choice when in reality, the design is toss-up, camera is a toss-up (one I’d probably give to the 14 Pro), and the battery life and charging is a tossup (one I’d probably give to the 15 for USB-C).
Overall, I think the 14 Pro at the same price is the clearly better phone for anyone who doesn’t really want USB-C.
If you want my source for this info I’ve linked to it here:

Hi Aaron, thanks for your detailed feedback. Highly appreciated!
Standby mode is available on any device that has oled screen😂
For someone like me who stopped using an iPhone in 2019 after it got stolen, I think the iPhone 15 is my choice of an upgrade since the offers for postpaid of iPhone 15 and 14 Pro are almost the same.
Thank you for the clear comparison!
Glad it was helpful!
White! apple 15 all the way lighter better ergos and usb-c. Future proof for a little more~
love the white spigen case, looks crazy good showing the internals
15 pro is way better because battery lasts 1000 charges instead of 500.
I would choose iPhone 15. I don't like heavy phones tbh. Coming from a 120hz phone to a 60hz, my eyes can get used to that just give it a few days.
the quality of your videos is extremely good,keep up the hard work!
15, no doubt. The camera enhancements, build quality, and weight. All reasons to forget the 60htz nonsense cause baby these things are smooth. Just a nicer phone overall.
copium lol
Congrats on reaching 100K!! Great comparison.
Thank you so much 😀

@shaafay
The iPhone 15 is the perfect iPhone to get this year in my opinion. It has the much awaited USB-C port plus the new 48mp camera sensors. These two features alone make it an upgrade from the 14 Pro. Yeah, it’s missing the high refresh rate, but I honestly never notice it that much and it doesn’t bother me.
The 14 pro has 48mp sensors lol
@@bboyggez15 takes better pic lol
@@bboyggez yup I meant the new 48mp sensors on the base model iPhone's plus the USB-C port together make it a more appealing buy than last year's Pro model
@@shaafaylol r u weird? The 14 pro has the same main sensor as the 15 pro. The base 15s have a weaker smaller sensor
@michelle_flauta
Congratulations on 100k subscribers.
This is the comparison I was looking for
Glad I made it! Hopefully it is useful
@@DionMedia very useful. Great job boss
Blah blah blah. 14 pro is the better device. Of course you'll say the 15 is better because you're doing a giveaway.
Nah 14 pro camera is worse than 15
I wish life was that easy :). All my videos are serious attempts to be objective.
Ikr i use 14 pro
dont cry
how can the 14 pro be better when it can’t produce 24 megapixel pictures
I like the black case compare to the white. Idk but feels more premium if black 🙂
@joshuabuwono
i think you miss the weight factor too. the aluminium body on iphone 15 is so light compare to the pro iphone. i use the 14 pro for long time and it seem a bit heavy on hand. for long term and comfort, i think people choose iphone 15 rather than last year pro. by the way, great review as always
Hi Joshua, yes, it is much lighter. And thanks for the compliment
This debate is the only thing that has been on my mind for the last week. 120hz would be lovely but I really can't decide which one to buy.
me personally went for the 15, honestly the 120hz screen is not sth i do really care about on a daily basis. The 60hz that regular iphones offer is more than enough for me because of how smooth they are, so actually it's not a real problem to me. Besides, I got an iPad Air 5 and being able to charge both devices using one charger is also a big possitive point that made me go for the 15. Also the battery life was a huge must-to consider for me so that's another reason why i chose it.
@@karimdaher5367 Great choice. I eventually went for the 15 pro since i got a great deal for it. Tbh i didnt really need a pro phone, i barely care about the pro features. the 120 hz is lovely tho, but who cares really, its just a phone. we consume media thats 60 hz or below so who cares
This video was extremely helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I'd say I love the iPhone 15! In fact it was on my Christmas wishlist but sadly didn't get it lol.😂 hopefully this New Year though. Also this video is very informative! Congrats again for hitting 100k subs!
Thank you and let us see what tomorrow will bring :)
iphone 14 pro: better display, aod, same camera + macro lense, comfortable in hand, lightning charging, lidar sensor, same chip
iphone 15: crappier display, no aod, same camera no macro lense, comfortable in hand usbc, same chip
I have both devices, and I would take the 14 pro all day. After using 120 hz, you can’t go back. It feels really choppy and slow and it’s very annoying. You talk about having a 48 mp camera, but the iphone 14 pro has that as well in pro res.
The iphone 15 is better than the iphone 14, and the iphone 14 pro is also better than the iphone 14. It is an upgrade of the last generation, and the iphone 15 pro is an upgrade of the iphone 14 pro. If it were just those two devices, ignoring the other phones in our lineup it’s so obvious that the iphone 14 pro is the better devices.
wdyt about battery life on 14pro? i recently was in a tough spot of choosing one or another but went with 14pro in the end mainly cuz of the display, i really want to see 120hz on the phone, hopefully its not a mistake xd (cuz i will get used to it and wont be able to move to 60hz again after haha). 15 and 14pro with 256 gb have almost the same price according to some sellers suggestions here so i chose the second option.
only thing that scares me is its battery, that it will die too quickly throughout the day or hearing reports from other ppl that it already has ~87% bc after a year of usage also makes me nervous a bit... but i will try to not be a heavy user with it qq coming from 7plus which dies really quickly these days (wow no wonder, its 7 years old now - you served me well, but after changing the battery in nov '23 two times already (three, if counting first replacement) nothing has changed, it still dies just as quickly - it is probably natural though 😔). so i'm a little afraid that 14pro will die just *as* quickly after 5-6 hours of the screen being on (7p holds for 3-4 hours at best rn i think?? and i have to charge it everyday, if not twice a day). after re-reading this comment i think that i'm far from a light phone user 💀 nooo. i need to fight my habits
Very good comparison
@stephennerus
In my opinion I think the iPhone 14 Pro has more features I.e pro-motion display 120hz, Pro raw, prores and a telephoto lens
The only thing it missing is type c
I feel 14 Pro is a better buy for it pro features
Thank you for the review and all comments here. It helps me. I will go with 15
Should've got the 14 pro
I love spigen cases and that white/transparent case looks amazing
Speck cases are even better.
my favorite spigen case color is the black one
I liked this vidoes a lot not only I know which phone to buy but also he listens to EM❤🎉
Hey Dion! Great content! I would honestly get either the 14 Pro or the 15 Pro! The Deep Purple and Titanium Blue are GORGEOUS colors 🙌🏼
But to get the 14 Pro, I would either it from Back Market or Amazon Renewed! But which one would be the better place to get the 14 Pro from?
iPhone 15 is just better ! Switching form an iPhone 13 pro max and yes, initially the 60hz was a bit weird and a pain to my eyes. But, after a couple of hours it was all smooth and adequately fine.
No its not, the 14 pro is miles better than the base 15 you are fucking coping with buying the worse phone. 60hz is terrible and apple shouldnt even sell 60hz phones anymore. You literally downgrade by buying the 15 and you would have been better off keeping the 13PM, you didn't even need to upgrade because the 13PM is still a very capable phone in 2024
@@Allxre Perhaps you're the one coping cause you're using the 14 pro yourselves 💀. The 15 has the same chipset as the 14 pro, a better battery life, it has the same dynamic island, a slimmer design, same frosted back and a 1 year extra major update. So, The 15 is miles ahead. And, 60hz is not a concern for the majority of users ! I myself turned the feature off on my s23 due to it's poor battery life.
Edit : it has rounded frames and the type c too😮💨🤌🏻

I'd go with the 15 as I love the matte back. I've been constantly annoyed a bit with the back of the iPhone 14 Plus. But I love the colour and the feeling of it in the hand. That's why I only use a case when I'm outside the house.
Congrats brother!!!!!
Thanks!!
I LIKE YOUR Videos.. very informative
Glad to hear that
Which one is better for camera?
14 pro
Heard about freezing & glitching. I’m hoping my iPhone 15 Plus (which is in the mail) doesn’t have these issues. I plan on keeping it for many, many years.
Hi Melissa, unless you are extremely unlucky, this phone will serve you for many years indeed.
@iturnovel
Although the price difference might seem marginal, opting for the 15 is like unlocking a treasure trove of added features. Personally, I'd lean towards the 15 for its enhanced functionalities. This video is a gem for those seeking guidance. Fantastic work, Dion! Keep shining and innovating
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated!
Good video. But you should rather tell the prices we have to pay here in Europe and how we get fleeced. iPhone 15 = 950 Euro (1057 $), iPhone 14 Pro = 1300 Euro (1447$). But yes, all manufacturers do that as they can get away with that...
You have a point, but the majority of my viewers relate more to USD
Surely the Hz difference makes it obvious that the 14 pro is better?
My favorite color case is black
this was so helpful. thank you
Great video!😊 and congratulations again on hitting 100k subs you really deserved it with your amazing content!😁🎉

Idk how we arrived at a point where the stainless steel case is considered more “premium” than the aluminium one. These steel phones feel like absolute bricks in the hand and have much worse thermal conductivity making the phone overheat more easily. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I prefer a phone that is easy to use with one hand (small screen) and feel light and comfortable. The iPhone 15 checks pretty much all of those boxes although I would like it even more if there was a mini option available.
@mmwansajr
I think the 14 pro is the better buy.
People always rock there phones with a case (like Spigen cases 😏) so the build isn't a biggie.
And the iPhone camera, even with their very very minor upgrade with each new phone, will always be great regardless.
Hope you had an amazing Christmas and have an awesome new year.
Love to see your continuous dedication to your craft.
BIG UP! 💪🏾
Thanks, I had a great year. Happy new year to you
Bruh!!! I got a 15 pro! And trust me once u get a hang of the pro motion and other features, there's def no way u would go back to the base variant. The 60hz is just too slow! And feel wise as well! The pro is way ahead!
Congratulations! I like the iPhone 15 in the black color.
answer is depend to the person honestly, mine is 15 Pro because USB C!
all of my work device used 100% USB C except on my previous 12 Pro device, so it's such a nice upgrade to me
In India, I am getting the iPhone 15 128GB variant for around 58000 rupees or you could say 686.88 dollars and at the same time 14pro for around 1441.72. Its almost double the price of the regular 15 and the only thing it is better than the 15 is that it has a 120Hz display
@mjmerces
it's kinda crazy how base model iphones have achieved this level of maturity, where it does not fall behind the pro lineup in almost any category
that's a great move Apple 🙏🏻
And , would you mind creating new comparing factor which gonna be the microphone of the phone . As a one who is addicted to listen to music and watching movies, sound will definitely matters !
black has more details
The spigen white case looks awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Your IPhone 15 Is Using A Mute Button Instead Of An Action Button?👀
Not all iPhone 15 have action button
Only 15 pro/pro max has action button
There are minor to non differences on the design. When you held them together. I couldn't tell the differences till you turn them upside down
@cocoshawarma
I think apple named it's 120hz refresh rate pro motion for a reason. Only reserved for pro models 😭
good info: but i dont like pros cuz the battery life in a day sucks, but i just bought a 15 pro max, and i was gonna return it for a 15 or 15 plus, which one should i buy, and how many more hours does the plus last tthan the regualr 15? liked and subbed well deserved!
@jemieali I have absolutely no problem not using older phones, especially since the 14 is a pro. And since the 14pro looks better anyway👀
@kaileyarry
First of all congratulation for the 100k ❤🎉
Secondly I personally will choose the iphone 15 for the size and shape. Like you're going to notice it everyyy time you use the phone. and also for all the new features you've talked about.
I dreamed about the iphone 15 black last night, was that a sign of god? idk, i will discover it tomorrow.😂
Alright good luck everyone ❤
Thanks for the congrats and tomorrow we will know who the winner is. Thanks for participating
@firerains
Honestly I would’ve chosen the 14 pro because because where I live it cost cheaper then the iPhone 15 and it gives you better display 120 refresh rate, a telephoto camera and the main camera photos are already great, and the hardware looks premium.
i just recently watch this video and early last month cant decide if i choose the 15 or ip 14 pro ….man, you make me feel good choosing the ip 15 now thanks. ❤
@chad_artiaga12
I would choose 14Pro. Always go for Pro version. The Pro version features ProMotion technology, which is Apple's way of saying it has a variable refresh rate between 10Hz and 120Hz.
@sebunelebunmiriku
I heard about the poor battery longevity of the 14 Pro series where its battery health tends to drain much faster than previous iPhones. I'm not entirely sure if it is just a local problem or just few devices are hit, but it's making me reconsider the 14 Pro. Is it a known issue?
I just got the 15 but probably would’ve preferred the 14 pro but I wasn’t able to find any iPhone 14 pros under like 950 so it was cheaper to get the 15. Buy I’m very happy with my 15 so far but it’s only been a few days 😅
Enjoy it!
Thanks as always great comparison. 😎👍

I vote for the 15 with the spigen case in black
The dark case is beautiful
I’m so late but if I had to choose probably the 14 pro because I have the 13 and the camera on the 14 pro is way more better and would help with my photography and editing even tho the giveaway is over your content is really good and can’t wait for the next video

I'm still using iphone 7 for the past 6 years. I'm looking to upgrade for a long time. I've been eyeing the iphone 15 over the 15pro. The only downside is, its still 60hz. But for my everyday use and the quality of the camera. Iphone 15 is still a solid pick for me.
@hollywood.bowl
I would choose the 14 pro because the iPhone 15 has USB-C which personally I don’t like and the 14 Pro has LiDAR Scanner which is very helpful to me and 14 pro also has telephoto lens so there’s a lot of differences also, 14 Pro has 120hz refresh rate. Nevertheless iPhone 15 is still a great phone.
I have iXSmax i want to upgrade what should i buy? 14 pm or 15pm?
15 pm
The only reason the iPhone 14 Pro didn’t have good battery at the end of the day could have been degraded Battery life since it is over a year old now.
