UPDATE: Shout out to the giveaway winner Voiltaire Vizcarra! Voltaire ended up having an iPhone 14 Pro and wanted me to sell the iPhone and donate that money directly to the Durham Rescue Mission. That's HUGE. Not many people would do that, even I would probably have taken it and sold it for the money so HUGE shout out to Voltaire. If you live in the Raleigh/Durham Area and want to buy a less than 6 weeks used iPhone 15 Pro, hit me up! I should have done this a while ago but something that's crazy is that this was sitting in my closet for like 4 months, AND IT STILL HAD BATTERY. So in terms of having battery when the phone isn't being used, it got it...
@@bhawanigurung9913 pro or pro max is personal preference on size of device. I have not noticed it heating much when charging, these phones are pretty good for regulating the charging rate when they detect too much heat so don’t worry about it. There was overheating concerns but the iOS update fixed it for most people. I have not felt this phone get hot. Glass is glass and the back glass seems easier to break than the last generation however shouldn’t be a concern if you have a case. If it does break, they have made it easier (and cheaper) to fix. I am using a Spigen case I have used them for years and would recommend them, I haven’t had any drops that damaged the phone in these cases thanks to the air cushioning, and they look good too.
Mate, that’s probably like in the top 3 reviews of the 15 pro I’ve watched (I researched a lot). There just something amazing in the way you presented the phone. Great video!
I upgraded to the 15 pro from the XS max, the 120hz refresh rate (for me) is night and day difference and feels like a warm knife through butter, smooth as hell! I am also a photographer and although phone cameras aren't as good as a DSLR (it is getting scary close though) if I don't feel like carrying around my camera - the 15 pro's camera is INCREDIBLE. This phone is expensive but as you've mentioned if you have a use case for it - what a gem of tech this thing is. I told myself I wouldn't upgrade iPhone until they changed the lightning port to usb-c and boy what a treat it is, I am very happy with my upgrade!
From XS max to 15 pro, does the size difference bother you? I mean i have xs max rn and i'm confused to choose between 15 pro max and 15 pro.. so what's your experience regarding the size?
@@khaledanany6146 same situation for me. I went with the pro and couldn’t be happier! Fits in every pocket and I can finally hold the iPhone in one hand. The screen is soo good that the smaller size don’t bother me. However users that spends many hours to play or work with their screens should always go for bigger displays imo. For me I just need something practical with the best camera on the market that fits every pocket!
ive watched hundreds of iPhones reviews and this is one of the best. You tell jokes, be honest, and seem relatable on what I'd hope to think when I get this phone.
@SupremeValue1 I just got this phone and your review definitely delivered on exactly what I thought. While watching the hundreds of reviews it was hard to find a review that wasn’t extremely good, but eventually I found yours and it definitely delivered. Thank you!
This is my first time watching a video from your channel, and I already really enjoy it. Very laid back, informative, and different. Keep up the great work!
This is how you do a review. Very thoughtful points and insights. Trying to think original things to point out instead of parroting what most reviewers tend to say. The flow of information after information keeps the video engaging and interesting. Well done!
You just got yourself a sub! Very high quality content. Not pushing empty words to the viewer. Little funny details. And finally Normal People content. Not a photographer not a youtuber not a teenager that uses their phone nonstop. Keep creating content focused on user not on the device. See you when you become famous tech yt channel :)
If anyone is looking to upgrade from 12 pro or lower, the 13pro/max is the best value for money right now. Fantastic battery life, great screen (120hz), great cameras and still powerful enough for it to do whatever you need
I definitely think the 15 pro is A tier. I do appreciate apples small improvements for the user. I think what would make it S tier is if they did something truly game changing but who knows how long we’ll have to wait for that. Awesome video! Great quality and editing😁
More like subjective from people to people. If someone for example, upgraded from a sub $200 phone to an iPhone, the phone might be an S tier due to the amount of QoL improvements being offered.
Real solid, honest review. Love how the ratings reflected the "normal people" title. Went out and picked one up for myself after this vid!❤👍 Keep doing what you do dude!
Easily one of my favorite reviews I’ve seen for the 15PM. You didn’t spend 10 minutes talking about specs, and you made some excellent points across the board in terms of value vs pricing. Your jokes were on point too ( who tf ranks a pair of Jordans under Crocs 😂😂) . Hey you earned my sub, can’t wait for the next video.
Love my 15Pro. Battery lasts me a good day and a half. Pro models are where it’s at. The 6.1 display is one handable. The cameras are just fine. I don’t need 5x zoom. In fact I had the pro max first. Sold it and bought the pro as I’ve always went the smaller pro previously. Max size is just silly to carry around.
@@jamiekatesalcedo6301 they're more contented with the phone that just works without bloatwares, wont suddenly die on you for no reason, and with continuous updates for more than 5 years. Those tech you are saying are just gimmicks that you yourself wont even use
about to upgrade to the 15 pro, when you mentioned the 999 price point i realized how much more expensive shit is in EU. if i were to buy the base model 15 (not pro) that 1 grand still wouldnt be enough by about 10 bucks.
Just upgraded from my 11 to 15pro. IOS feels so familiar yet when i go back to 11, the choppiness is noticeable. For those upgrading, i highly recommend doing a fresh install instead of migrating data from your old phone.
Why do you recommend doing a fresh install instead of migrating? I pulled everything for my iCloud when I got my 15 Pro a few days ago. I could delete everything and then install it if you think that’s necessary.
@@ArmorsArrows What I meant by migrating was using the migration assistant to copy the data from the old phone, essentially mirroring it down to a single file from the old phone. The issue with this approach, at least from my perspective, is that it transfers all the accumulated unnecessary data from the old phone to the new device, potentially impacting its performance. On the other hand, starting fresh and downloading data from iCloud separately (Ie Photos, Notes etc) , rather than as a phone backup, is more advantageous. This method allows you to retrieve only the necessary files, avoiding the transfer of unnecessary junk files from the old phone. I believe this is what you've done.
My reasoning for going for the 15 pro is the camera quality. I do a lot of photography particularly Astrophotography & for decent camera you could easily pay upwards of $500
First time watch your video.. This channel is a gem! Subscribed Anyway, I think price is always become buyers considerations before purchase anything, people always look for price : value ratio. Here in my country basic iPhone 15 Pro cost $1250, and many people can't accept that price simply because it doesn't even offer 3.5mm headphone jack.
As someone with a 512gb 13promax, buying a 1600$ 1tb 15 pro max. It’s completely over rated for anyone not into content creation. Not going to shoot log, ProRes, or 48mp Raws. The phone is nothing different compared to my 13 pro. Even with double the storage, is no different. So yea A tier, but also nothings going to be S tier, till 2tb iPhone comes out.
I shoot vidoes and make stuff for instagram w my own separate professional mirrorless cameras. The ProRes and log is somewhat worth it, but more less USC-C with 10Gbps is worth it. It’s honestly Ight, but for 1600+tax, it hurts when I paid 1400$ 2 years ago for my 13. You only need it if you don’t have a 13pro tbh.
Ohhh interesting. Yea I think I try to keep my S tier as an unrealistically high standard but I mean I feel like thats how it should be ya know? Nah yea like they have pro features that a bunch of people will just not use probably
Okay. You hold on to your 13 Pro Max. That’s great. It has the best battery life on any iPhone. It’s weird to say an iPhone 15 Pro is overrated if you’re not a content creator. There’s more to any iPhone than content creation alone. You also are contradicting yourself by saying double the storage is no different, and after that saying a 2TB iPhone would be different if it eventually releases. Look, I’m not here to insult or discredit your comment. I think your point can be made by fewer words: you are willing to buy a new iPhone if it comes available with a 2TB option. This is likely to happen, we’re talking Apple of course. Maybe with next year’s iPhone 17, who knows. Cheers.
I made the jump and got 15pro from Realme 8pro. First time ever using Iphone. It feels good, it is fast and reliable. Cameras are good, but as a pro photographer it will never be as good as a camera :D Face unlock is amazing, some features are missing when comparing it to android. I don't use a lot of apps, and my screen on time is about 1.5h on average. Speakers and sound quality is freaking amazing also! Do I regret getting it? Nope, it is beautiful and fast. I like it. I listen to a lot of music on it. Nice review, I couldn't agree more.
Im saying right now, maybe I should have been clearer. Like as of right now if we were to use it, compared to all of the other phones. I would agree with you for sure!
It's over $1000 in other countries so cheaper depending on how you look at it. Even non-pro models are expensive so you need to work out whether it's worth upgrading to Pro. I recently upgraded to 15 Pro from 11 Pro of 4 years old. So far enjoying it. Still grade A in my opinion.
I just found your channel now. I've seen countless RUclipsrs become pretentious farts as their channel grew. Promoting garbage products simply because their video was sponsored. Nice to see you promoting a good cause! Subscribed
I'd like to add just one little bit that helps it out. The iphone is really good at retaining its value. Meaning that when you eventually decide to upgrade, your old iphone can still be sold quite nicely and quickly, given that you kept it in a good state.
As a person who always put a case on my phone, the curved corners doesn't matter much because it is the same contour if you pur it on a case. Since the back glass isn't ceramic shield, it is important to have a case.
I’ve become a bit obsessed with swapping phones. I’ve had pixel 8 pro, 15 pro/pro max, S24 ultra xiaomi 14 and more. The one phone I missed when I didn’t have it was the 15 pro/pro max. At this point all phones feel the same so it comes to preference and what works best for you and for me it’s the iPhone 15 pro. After that I’d say the pixel 8 pro is the best android has to offer.
That thing you do to calculate your rating system is really good. First time watcher here and I feel like if you carry on with this you could become one of the best consumer tech youtubers out there. I'm a man of science so it pleases me seeing quantitative/qualitative maths being used to convey something. It makes it that much more legit instead of just "reviewers vibes" being how things are rated.
Thank you! I appreciate it! Yea I myself also like to be quantitative and quantify things in a measurable way, so im trying different things! I definitely get what you're saying :)
@@supremevalue1 Keep it up bro, plus the charity thing that you're doing and how it ties into your own personal life is really dope. I'm not one for nice words but I mean it when I say you have a future in this content creation world. It looks hard to me but you make it look effortless and it's quite engaging, especially as a regular person watching.
if you were actually a man of science you woud see how faulty and simplistic this system is... weighting isnt enough for such a small number of and subjective parameters. To actually have a good system you need to usee additional terms like bias, and techniques such as normalisation to make sure there is a fair comparison among categories
@@grigorioschatziandreou2558 Do us all a favour and return to whatever dark corner of the internet you normally dwell in little man. Because if I remember correctly I didn't solicit your opinion on what I wrote. Better yet, upload your own videos and do exactly what you mentioned in your comment.
@@IxNOvaSNipezxI my friend, why are you getting triggered? I have two degrees, bachelors in engineering and MSc in machine learning. I did not mean to offend you, but indeed, an actual man of science would not say what you said
I think it's an S tier device for what it can do for a really long time. I used a Samsung Galaxy A50, One Plus 6T, Honor Play and an iPhone 7 before the 15 Pro. Prior to them boys I had a Galaxy S5, Xperia Z1, Xperia SL, Curve 9220, Curve 8520, Samsung Galaxy Y, TechCom T-Vision Pro and a Sony J100i! The 15 Pro is S tier all day everyday. Do use a case and tempered glass!
so you want a supreme phone but don't want to pay the supreme price? What makes the phones to stay on the "A" tier is the price, which makes no sence because it's the average price of most of the phones nowadays...
For it to be S-tier, the value would have to not be able to realistically be any better, which is just not the case. It’s overpriced. I still love mine tho.
@@spookish4167i get where you’re coming from but tbh these phones are actually near perfection nowadays, there’s VERY few things to argue about And you can find cheaper phones, but they always come with certain flaws on iOS after i switched to the 13 pro my only flaw is that i can’t do piracy and even then i managed to download a couple paid games for free (i aint explaining how lmaoo) Once you get used to iOS all that “flaws” that corny android users say i don’t even notice them, like what, freaking notifications? Barely watch them anyways i only watch social media or gmail and those appear above.
@mattgco You will know if you switch to Samsung Galaxy Ultra for a year without a biased mindset. I made a switch n now iphones really don't excite me n there's no reason to go back.
Bro your videos are some of the chillest and informative videos I've ever watched you definitely don't have enough subs. But you just earned one! I just ordered the 15 pro because my 14 pro broke. Not a crazy difference, but I always like to try the latest tech because I got the money and it's just fun. Great video man!
I'm glad that I upgraded my phone from the Samsung A series to the IP15 Pro and I am using my pro for soc meds and for taking photos. But I'm still using my android for gaming and watching videos. And I can use my pro for 3 days without getting the battery below 30%. I think that I made a great choice by buying the 15Pro. Anyway, nice review. Keep it up. 🇵🇭
Such a great review dude! Super relatable and genuine vibes I got from it - thanks again! Long-time Pixel user who's getting tired of the bugs/issues on the phone, so considering a move (usb c & ios 18 really helped)
I recently switched from Samsung to iphone 15 pro. Here's my opinion after 3 months. Samsung has more gimmicks that you would use once or twice in a year. Meanwhile, apple has less gimmicks, but its features are extremely useful. For instance, the black bar is just so useful and Siri and Bixby has been pretty useful especially in my line of work. Next, the battery is quite normal since I use my phone quite heavily during my work. Furthermore, Apple does feel smoother than Samsung. I cant say anything for camera yet since I am still struggling with how apple's camera work, which leads to my next point. Plus, I really appreciate the advance mode offered by Samsung. Lastly, apple is way complex to use over Samsung.
I upgraded from an XR to a 15 pro. I definitely noticed the 120hz refresh rate (big difference), the camera quality is amazing ,every app loads much faster, the flashlight and the screen are much brighter compared to my XR.
I remember when the first iPhone dropped, and it was GROUNDBREAKING. Now it’s considered an F. Never thought I’d live this long to see myself become an old man.
I think any design talk about a phone should not matter because I am still putting a case on it. It's not only because I want to protect my phone, but because I don't want to be denied by my phone company when I trade in credit is lowered because of a crack on it. I upgraded to the 15 pro with a trade in credit from an iphone 11. And I only did the trade in because I got $830 from AT&T when the iphone 11 was purchased for $500. If the trade in was not there, I would have continued to use my iphone 11 until I used it to the ground. Overall, I am happy of the trade in and having my first pro series iphone.
Ohh yea thats a good point. Yea trade ins are a game changer and I was gonna mention it but since technically they lock you into a contract in their network so I didn't know exactly if you would be saving money, but yea trade in is awesome. But also not everyone has trade in deals which is why I left it out. But yea keeping that case to protect it is a good point.
While the 15 pro truly is an amazing phone, I would argue the regular iPhone 15 has now progressed from great to amazing. With the 2x zoom using the main lens, the incredible design, Dynamic Island support… definitely a solid device.
What you're looking for in an "s tier" phone here imo is the Samsung A55. It has good enough performance to be smooth, great display, great battery, decent cameras, great software, and great price. For me, I don't see a reason I would want to upgrade from it until Samsung stops supporting it, then maybe I'll try an S series Samsung or even an iPhone. But until then (4-5 years) I am 100% satisfied. Although "S tier" can be very subjective, for some people, the A55 is lacking in power, for other the bezels at too big, for you it might be the cameras, it really depends on priorities, and it meets mine. Hope you can cover that phone.
I just realised that at 6:12 you used a Remix of the song Titanium by David Guetta and Sia, making it a reference for the materials and quality of the phone. Nice detail.
I think Apple’s business model is specifically about creating A and B tier products. They actively avoid making S tier products, because it’s robbing from their future profit. Why release a cutting edge S tier feature today that costs a lot more money, if they can release it next year for less? People still buy the latest iphones anyway. In short, Apple is rationing features, releasing only enough to make some people upgrade, but not enough to make most of them buy the latest iphones.
I bought a 15 Pro 3 days ago, coming from +10 years of Android. Honestly, i'm not that impressed with iOS / iPhone, I don't feel it's a "clear difference" from the S23 / Android. I've enjoyed the Camera, FaceID, connectivity and (most) apps startup time. But there are stuff like the Control Center and Settings that I feel Android does it better. Probably Apple will copy that (as Android copies most Apple features). People say "after a while you can't go back to Android" but idk. I can't say I prefer it over a S23. Also about the ecosystem: I don't use smartwatches (I feel it's a waste of money, just pull the phone from the pocket: 1 second) and I don't like the AirPods Pro (I don't like in-ear headphones). I do have a MBP tho
I made the switch this year after ages, IPhone lacks the control center and notification system that androids have, it’s just more useful but other than that I’m never going back. Way more enjoyable experience after a few weeks im used to it, faster prettier iMessage smarter easier access to passwords. Reminders and notes being synced so well to my computer is also fantastic. I refuse to use AirPods though have my Sonys
I am actually thinking of switching because of the very same reason. My phone before 14pro is an X as I don’t change unless needed. But the weight has irritated me since I got it. Is it really noticeable?
I dont even use my note 9 at the full 120hz or full resolution. I have it in adaptive display mode and FHD+ mode so instead of the full 2960×1440 its in 2220×1080 and the color range, saturation, and sharpness adapts when needed
@@supremevalue1 Consumers should def be holding companies to a high standard of design. Just because people put cases on their phone, which i think is stupid, doesnt mean the design isnt extremely important. If a company isnt prioritizing design, what else are they slacking on. These devices should be detailed to every little standard of production, we pay a fortune for them.
still waiting for part 2 video of your transformation. Motivated me to go for the long run and now I’m almost there with my target. Tell me what do you do when you achieve your goals?
I use my iPhone X without a case after my 12 pro broke from a drop after 3 years of use. iPhone X broke when it got splashed but randomly starting working one day. That’s like collectively 2k worth of phones so I’m going to keep using this thing for a while lol

Do you think if I could get the 15 pro for £800 it would be in S-tier?
Have you picked a winner yet?
Should we buy 15 pro or pro max? Does it overheat when charging? Does the back glass break when it falls down?

As someone with a 512gb 13promax, buying a 1600$ 1tb 15 pro max. It’s completely over rated for anyone not into content creation. Not going to shoot log, ProRes, or 48mp Raws. The phone is nothing different compared to my 13 pro. Even with double the storage, is no different. So yea A tier, but also nothings going to be S tier, till 2tb iPhone comes out.
I shoot vidoes and make stuff for instagram w my own separate professional mirrorless cameras. The ProRes and log is somewhat worth it, but more less USC-C with 10Gbps is worth it. It’s honestly Ight, but for 1600+tax, it hurts when I paid 1400$ 2 years ago for my 13. You only need it if you don’t have a 13pro tbh.
Ohhh interesting. Yea I think I try to keep my S tier as an unrealistically high standard but I mean I feel like thats how it should be ya know? Nah yea like they have pro features that a bunch of people will just not use probably
“Even with double the storage, is no different”
Tf
So you think more storage is pointless BUT 2 tb would impress you?
Okay. You hold on to your 13 Pro Max. That’s great. It has the best battery life on any iPhone. It’s weird to say an iPhone 15 Pro is overrated if you’re not a content creator. There’s more to any iPhone than content creation alone. You also are contradicting yourself by saying double the storage is no different, and after that saying a 2TB iPhone would be different if it eventually releases. Look, I’m not here to insult or discredit your comment. I think your point can be made by fewer words: you are willing to buy a new iPhone if it comes available with a 2TB option. This is likely to happen, we’re talking Apple of course. Maybe with next year’s iPhone 17, who knows. Cheers.
The Arc case solved my design and aesthetic dilemma. I love it
I made the jump and got 15pro from Realme 8pro. First time ever using Iphone. It feels good, it is fast and reliable. Cameras are good, but as a pro photographer it will never be as good as a camera :D Face unlock is amazing, some features are missing when comparing it to android. I don't use a lot of apps, and my screen on time is about 1.5h on average. Speakers and sound quality is freaking amazing also!
Do I regret getting it? Nope, it is beautiful and fast. I like it. I listen to a lot of music on it.
Nice review, I couldn't agree more.
mapping the action button to camera is amazing for someone who switched from pixel
upgrading from an 8 to a 15 pro super excited, its well overdue
Oh yea that gone be a noice refresh fosho
the 5s being in D tier is crazy, that phone changed apples placement in the smartphone community pushes them to the top
Im saying right now, maybe I should have been clearer. Like as of right now if we were to use it, compared to all of the other phones. I would agree with you for sure!
@@supremevalue1 ahhh gotcha, i will say that ios software has come along way and that i agree, Apple is very close to perfecting the smartphone
12:36 The iPhone 13 Pro does in fact have the “Promotion” 120 hertz refresh rate. It’s the iPhone 12 Pro that does not have 120hz
How does this guy only have 10k subs. best reviewer ever
I really enjoyed how laid back and natural this review was. Keep it up. Hope one day this channel blows up!
It's over $1000 in other countries so cheaper depending on how you look at it.
Even non-pro models are expensive so you need to work out whether it's worth upgrading to Pro.
I recently upgraded to 15 Pro from 11 Pro of 4 years old. So far enjoying it.
Still grade A in my opinion.
Most people still buying older iPhones or most people keep their old iPhone longer my girl teen cousin still have her IPhone 11 purple
is 128gb enough at 15pro?
I just found your channel now. I've seen countless RUclipsrs become pretentious farts as their channel grew. Promoting garbage products simply because their video was sponsored. Nice to see you promoting a good cause! Subscribed
I'd like to add just one little bit that helps it out. The iphone is really good at retaining its value. Meaning that when you eventually decide to upgrade, your old iphone can still be sold quite nicely and quickly, given that you kept it in a good state.
Trueeeeee
I just discovered your channel. Amazing video man! New suscriber here
bro your content is so underrated you deserve way more subs and views
Thank you! I appreciate it :)
As a person who always put a case on my phone, the curved corners doesn't matter much because it is the same contour if you pur it on a case. Since the back glass isn't ceramic shield, it is important to have a case.
I’ve become a bit obsessed with swapping phones. I’ve had pixel 8 pro, 15 pro/pro max, S24 ultra xiaomi 14 and more. The one phone I missed when I didn’t have it was the 15 pro/pro max. At this point all phones feel the same so it comes to preference and what works best for you and for me it’s the iPhone 15 pro. After that I’d say the pixel 8 pro is the best android has to offer.
You KILLED ME at the "Personal Heater" comment/shot!!!! Genius!!! lmoa!!!
That thing you do to calculate your rating system is really good. First time watcher here and I feel like if you carry on with this you could become one of the best consumer tech youtubers out there.
I'm a man of science so it pleases me seeing quantitative/qualitative maths being used to convey something. It makes it that much more legit instead of just "reviewers vibes" being how things are rated.
Thank you! I appreciate it! Yea I myself also like to be quantitative and quantify things in a measurable way, so im trying different things! I definitely get what you're saying :)
@@supremevalue1 Keep it up bro, plus the charity thing that you're doing and how it ties into your own personal life is really dope.
I'm not one for nice words but I mean it when I say you have a future in this content creation world. It looks hard to me but you make it look effortless and it's quite engaging, especially as a regular person watching.
if you were actually a man of science you woud see how faulty and simplistic this system is... weighting isnt enough for such a small number of and subjective parameters. To actually have a good system you need to usee additional terms like bias, and techniques such as normalisation to make sure there is a fair comparison among categories
@@grigorioschatziandreou2558 Do us all a favour and return to whatever dark corner of the internet you normally dwell in little man.
Because if I remember correctly I didn't solicit your opinion on what I wrote. Better yet, upload your own videos and do exactly what you mentioned in your comment.
@@IxNOvaSNipezxI my friend, why are you getting triggered? I have two degrees, bachelors in engineering and MSc in machine learning. I did not mean to offend you, but indeed, an actual man of science would not say what you said
This guy is an original 👍 Nice work!
Thank you!
i like this normal video and the sponsors section entrance😂😂 "i can't afford the 10usd but i send my love from here" from a coll youtuber to the next
I think it's an S tier device for what it can do for a really long time. I used a Samsung Galaxy A50, One Plus 6T, Honor Play and an iPhone 7 before the 15 Pro. Prior to them boys I had a Galaxy S5, Xperia Z1, Xperia SL, Curve 9220, Curve 8520, Samsung Galaxy Y, TechCom T-Vision Pro and a Sony J100i!
The 15 Pro is S tier all day everyday. Do use a case and tempered glass!
Woah wow a lot of experience with so many different phones thats dope!
Great review. You convinced me to get a 13 because it’s what I need rather than what I want. Also helps that its also on a zero dollar offer
Made the jump from 13 PM to 15 PM. I take advantage of all features. Awesome upgrade
Noice! Hopefully it suits your needs!
so you want a supreme phone but don't want to pay the supreme price? What makes the phones to stay on the "A" tier is the price, which makes no sence because it's the average price of most of the phones nowadays...
For it to be S-tier, the value would have to not be able to realistically be any better, which is just not the case. It’s overpriced. I still love mine tho.
@@spookish4167i get where you’re coming from but tbh these phones are actually near perfection nowadays, there’s VERY few things to argue about
And you can find cheaper phones, but they always come with certain flaws on iOS after i switched to the 13 pro my only flaw is that i can’t do piracy and even then i managed to download a couple paid games for free (i aint explaining how lmaoo)
Once you get used to iOS all that “flaws” that corny android users say i don’t even notice them, like what, freaking notifications? Barely watch them anyways i only watch social media or gmail and those appear above.
Yeah but Apple is holding back at that price
@mattgco You will know if you switch to Samsung Galaxy Ultra for a year without a biased mindset. I made a switch n now iphones really don't excite me n there's no reason to go back.
@@Winso312is that right
Bro your videos are some of the chillest and informative videos I've ever watched you definitely don't have enough subs. But you just earned one! I just ordered the 15 pro because my 14 pro broke. Not a crazy difference, but I always like to try the latest tech because I got the money and it's just fun. Great video man!
Hey bro! I appreciate it forreal! That means a lot forreal! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙌
This content quality is S tier
Yoooo appreciate it forreal 🙏
I'm glad that I upgraded my phone from the Samsung A series to the IP15 Pro and I am using my pro for soc meds and for taking photos. But I'm still using my android for gaming and watching videos. And I can use my pro for 3 days without getting the battery below 30%. I think that I made a great choice by buying the 15Pro.
Anyway, nice review. Keep it up. 🇵🇭
Noiccceeee
Nobody talk about the iPhone 15 Pro max speaker 🔈 when playing music biggest improvement the camera was insane 👌
intro song is elite
Yooo appreciate it :)
Such a great review dude! Super relatable and genuine vibes I got from it - thanks again!
Long-time Pixel user who's getting tired of the bugs/issues on the phone, so considering a move (usb c & ios 18 really helped)
The design matters, I don't want a rectangular phone like the S24 Ultra is. I want mine rounded
Well made 👌🏽 - especially when you said should we really be worried about the design if we’re just putting it in a case
Subscribed 🤙🏽
My case got me thinking if design is really important or not. Thank you forreal! I really appreciate it!
I recently switched from Samsung to iphone 15 pro. Here's my opinion after 3 months.
Samsung has more gimmicks that you would use once or twice in a year. Meanwhile, apple has less gimmicks, but its features are extremely useful. For instance, the black bar is just so useful and Siri and Bixby has been pretty useful especially in my line of work.
Next, the battery is quite normal since I use my phone quite heavily during my work.
Furthermore, Apple does feel smoother than Samsung.
I cant say anything for camera yet since I am still struggling with how apple's camera work, which leads to my next point. Plus, I really appreciate the advance mode offered by Samsung.
Lastly, apple is way complex to use over Samsung.
Wtf best review ever honestly.
Thank you!
Bro didn't hesitate ❤
I upgraded from an XR to a 15 pro. I definitely noticed the 120hz refresh rate (big difference), the camera quality is amazing ,every app loads much faster, the flashlight and the screen are much brighter compared to my XR.
Is that *Titanium* playing in the background? If so, very funny 😂
I remember when the first iPhone dropped, and it was GROUNDBREAKING. Now it’s considered an F. Never thought I’d live this long to see myself become an old man.
I think any design talk about a phone should not matter because I am still putting a case on it. It's not only because I want to protect my phone, but because I don't want to be denied by my phone company when I trade in credit is lowered because of a crack on it. I upgraded to the 15 pro with a trade in credit from an iphone 11. And I only did the trade in because I got $830 from AT&T when the iphone 11 was purchased for $500.
If the trade in was not there, I would have continued to use my iphone 11 until I used it to the ground. Overall, I am happy of the trade in and having my first pro series iphone.
Ohh yea thats a good point. Yea trade ins are a game changer and I was gonna mention it but since technically they lock you into a contract in their network so I didn't know exactly if you would be saving money, but yea trade in is awesome. But also not everyone has trade in deals which is why I left it out. But yea keeping that case to protect it is a good point.
While the 15 pro truly is an amazing phone, I would argue the regular iPhone 15 has now progressed from great to amazing. With the 2x zoom using the main lens, the incredible design, Dynamic Island support… definitely a solid device.
I agree for sure!! The 15 is mighty close to the 15 pro
What you're looking for in an "s tier" phone here imo is the Samsung A55. It has good enough performance to be smooth, great display, great battery, decent cameras, great software, and great price. For me, I don't see a reason I would want to upgrade from it until Samsung stops supporting it, then maybe I'll try an S series Samsung or even an iPhone. But until then (4-5 years) I am 100% satisfied. Although "S tier" can be very subjective, for some people, the A55 is lacking in power, for other the bezels at too big, for you it might be the cameras, it really depends on priorities, and it meets mine. Hope you can cover that phone.
Yea, honestly gonna try an android some day, they definitely got WAY better value options for sure
1st time watching your video and I enjoy it so much!
Thank you!!
I don't use cases, only popsockets. Never dropped a phone in many years
the only thing that made me go to the pro max instead of the pro is the battery life
Great take. And props on using your Undefeated shoe box as a laptop stand.
Haha thank you! Yea wanted to prop my laptop and realized its a great box for it haha
Thank God !!! There are some RUclipsrs confirming it is normal.
Finally someone with a realistic review
Interesting video from your perspective, enjoyed!
I upgraded from my dying samsung galaxy s9 to the 15 pro max and its amazing
bro great video u need more views
I just realised that at 6:12 you used a Remix of the song Titanium by David Guetta and Sia, making it a reference for the materials and quality of the phone. Nice detail.
There are no Supreme tier phones today. They’re just incremental improvements
I think Apple’s business model is specifically about creating A and B tier products. They actively avoid making S tier products, because it’s robbing from their future profit. Why release a cutting edge S tier feature today that costs a lot more money, if they can release it next year for less? People still buy the latest iphones anyway.
In short, Apple is rationing features, releasing only enough to make some people upgrade, but not enough to make most of them buy the latest iphones.
Yea I agree, people will always buy their products so it's good for them, not as exciting for us the consumers though unfortunately
as someone who upgraded from 13 mini to 15 pro, it feels like space age to me, the Sest of S tiers
A very nice video indeed
Not buying a plastic phone ever again. But you do you.
great video, replay helped me! What camera are you using for your videos?
I appreciate it! Canon R7 :)
I bought a 15 Pro 3 days ago, coming from +10 years of Android. Honestly, i'm not that impressed with iOS / iPhone, I don't feel it's a "clear difference" from the S23 / Android. I've enjoyed the Camera, FaceID, connectivity and (most) apps startup time. But there are stuff like the Control Center and Settings that I feel Android does it better. Probably Apple will copy that (as Android copies most Apple features).
People say "after a while you can't go back to Android" but idk. I can't say I prefer it over a S23.
Also about the ecosystem: I don't use smartwatches (I feel it's a waste of money, just pull the phone from the pocket: 1 second) and I don't like the AirPods Pro (I don't like in-ear headphones). I do have a MBP tho
I made the switch this year after ages, IPhone lacks the control center and notification system that androids have, it’s just more useful but other than that I’m never going back. Way more enjoyable experience after a few weeks im used to it, faster prettier iMessage smarter easier access to passwords. Reminders and notes being synced so well to my computer is also fantastic. I refuse to use AirPods though have my Sonys
Shout out to Cookout! Where are you from if you mind mentioning it?
Cookout started in NC
Raleigh / Durham! Yessssirrrr NC!!
@@supremevalue1 Nice dude! Born and raised in Greensboro💯
NBA player John Wall has a Cookout tattoo🔥(from Raleigh if you don’t keep up with sports)
You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much...
Got me singing in the intro.
Lesss gooooo hahaha
For me the biggest upgrade from 14 pro to 15 pro is the weight of the phone. Ino it’s not worth the money. But it makes the difference for me
I am actually thinking of switching because of the very same reason. My phone before 14pro is an X as I don’t change unless needed. But the weight has irritated me since I got it.
Is it really noticeable?
Wow, finally i found an actually good review for it. Instant sub.
I personally don't use cases, I just don't drop it simple as
nice humor inserting the Titanium intro sang by Sia
Great review brother 💯
Awesome video 👏🏻 Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I definitely love the portable heater 😊😊😊 great Iphone❤
Yee it was really useful I can't believe they took it away
And the holey socks!
Awesome video! Thanks! I’m waiting for the next iPhone mini! Can you imagine if they make it titanium!!
Thank you! Yea legit my dream is the mini with 120hz ProMotion display but I feel like the mini is gonna be discontinued so I'm sad :/
The reason I upgraded from 11 series was 120 hz …other than that I wouldn’t ….when you use 120 hz once you can’t go back ..at least me
facts
I dont even use my note 9 at the full 120hz or full resolution. I have it in adaptive display mode and FHD+ mode so instead of the full 2960×1440 its in 2220×1080 and the color range, saturation, and sharpness adapts when needed
Please consumers, don’t think like this dude. Design matters. What a goof.
I think it does matter, just not as much as we might make it out to be
@@supremevalue1 Consumers should def be holding companies to a high standard of design. Just because people put cases on their phone, which i think is stupid, doesnt mean the design isnt extremely important. If a company isnt prioritizing design, what else are they slacking on. These devices should be detailed to every little standard of production, we pay a fortune for them.
I see you grew up loving Titanium. I recently remade the Titanium instrumental as well so it was a bit uncanny hearing it here.
Yea that song is fireeee haha
still waiting for part 2 video of your transformation. Motivated me to go for the long run and now I’m almost there with my target. Tell me what do you do when you achieve your goals?
Love this video, currently have an XR
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I use my iPhone X without a case after my 12 pro broke from a drop after 3 years of use. iPhone X broke when it got splashed but randomly starting working one day. That’s like collectively 2k worth of phones so I’m going to keep using this thing for a while lol
noiceeeee
They don't sell the 14 anymore unfortunately. I got the 15 pro coming from 12 pro max
