      Switched from 13 Pro Max to 15 Pro and I’m enjoying the form factor so far. Not into mobile gaming so the screen size is just right for me. The battery life is good enough to get me through the day. The pro variant is way more comfortable to use than the pro max, for me.

      I did. I went from the 14 Pro Max to the regular 15
      Pro. So refreshing! It is the perfect size. I feel that creatively the 3x is more useful than a 5x. So I don't feel like I am missing out.

    Similar boat for me. I upgraded from a 12 Pro to a 15 Pro Max. Ended up returning the max for a 15 Pro. I wasn’t really using the 5x and the size was just cumbersome enough to make me miss the more one-handable normal size. Super happy with the 15 Pro.

      I have been using an iPhone XS for about 5 years ( I upgrade about every 5 years)and I am looking to upgrade. I have (pick up tmr) chosen the 15 pro because of size and I did think about the pro max, but really, the pro is the sensible choice in my opinion for ergonomics alone. As for the battery ;life that I am hearing about, I don't think that I will have any issues with this at all, but I am curious about power banks as I have never owned one or even needed one. Yep, the 15 pro with a uag case is the sensible choice for me.

    Polished. Upgrading from the 13PM, and after watching your video, definitely going to go with the 15Pro. I’m tired of the larger PM form factor and agree on your views of the 3x vs 5x camera zoom. I WFH, so the battery life will be a rare consideration for me, which I will probably solve with a MagSafe battery pack if needed. Thank you for a well rounded review!

    Oh I notice how much nicer, lighter and smaller it feels in the hand even with a case on. I was wanting to go with the smaller Pro for the first time because I was over how big the Pro Max felt. Thank god I didn’t! And yeah that 120hz is what made me make the switch to iPhone with the 13 Pro max. Loving the acation button too, I have it set to open up video camera. I have battery set to charge to 80% and at the end of my day I still have 50ish %! I went with the natural titanium in 1tb to match my ultra 2. I’m so in love with these two pieces of tech. It’s amazing!

    Assigning additional actions to the action button is wonderful especially when using variable press functions such as long press or double press. And if there's an additional action button then this will increase the fun or excitment with even more press variables or functions. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾 Adding a 5x zoom on the smaller, base iPhone will be a fantastic idea because not everyone will like to own a bigger phone so catering for everyone is smart. But I absolutely believe the bigger phones will always sell despite those who prefer a smaller model. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾

    Solid review. I was trying to figure out which one I wanted. Picked up the iPhone 15 Pro two days ago. I'm happy with it so far. Then again, I'm coming from the 11 Pro so either one of the 15's would have been a huge upgrade.

    Excellent video. I initially went with the 15 PM thinking the 5x would make a huge difference and also not realizing it sacrificed 3x quality shots. I just assumed it was the same as the smaller 15 Pro with the addition of looking better at when you went past 3x. What ended up being the real dealbreaker was its size. I just couldn't get used to its large size so I returned it for the smaller 15 Pro and have been very happy since I did that.
    My battery lasts me all day (which for me is 7 am to around 11 pm) with enough room to spare and even on heavy use days I never have battery anxiety and since I tend to shoot pics in the 1x to 3x range more I'm technically getting better shots than the 15 PM. Even when I got past 3x the quality diff isn't drastic to where I feel like I'm missing out. Both are excellent phones, but I just love having a smaller variant.

    Terrific video! My last gigantic-phone was the 6S Plus. Since then I’ve tried friends’ gigantic phones, and the trade offs of battery life and sometimes better camera features aren’t worth the uncomfortable (to me) size and difficulty handling/using the phone.
    It’s refreshing to see & hear someone else that feels the same as I do: Pro Max phones are great, but sometimes we should just pick the version that fits us and our needs. I’m not a creator like you, but I rarely if ever need 5x zoom - when I traveled internationally last in ‘19 and west coast in ‘20, the 3x was plenty for the handful of times I “needed” it.
    Again, great video. Loved your green wallpapers! I see they’re for sale on your website. Cool

    My first time watching one of your videos and I’m so grateful! I don’t know much about technology. Since I’m a new Grandma I just wanted to get a phone with the best camera that iPhone has. I just made the assumption that the IPhone Pro Max would be the best. I ordered it from Verizon….however I soon realized that I accidentally ordered the pro and not the pro max. I googled pro vs pro max comparison and up came your video. I now realize mistakenly ordering the pro was a happy accident. Thank you sooooo much for the education! I’m subscribing to your channel.

    This was an excellent review! I too had the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. Even though I loved the PM size for content consumption and the larger battery, I ultimately stuck with the 15 Pro for comfortability and practicality. I took a phone call on the PM and it was wayyy too big. Downright silly. Your camera tests proved what I was having trouble justifying for the PM. When I wanted 3x on the PM it looked terrible. And it was digitally cropping most of the time unless the lighting was perfect which was annoying. Losing out on quality between 2x-5x zoom on the PM was not ideal either. Transparently, I had the 14 Pro, but the 15 Pro had enough improvements for me to justify upgrading; Better HDR5, better connectivity, a more comfortable and lighter design, USB-C that I can use with my drum mixer, and ProRES LOG…Couldn’t be happier with the 15 Pro!

I think I will go for the Pro even if I'm very tempted from the Max. But I think the same of you, the 3x is more useful in the real life situations and the 5x is too much, for my needs obviously. Thank you!!! I wanted natural but it seems unreachable. I ordered one days ago but I had to change it for the black one in order to receive the phone the next week. I'm not happy at all. I always had a black phone and this year I wanted the natural and maybe it was worth the wait. So maybe I made a mistake. But I think that the Pro is the way to go, at least for me.
