Product review of iPhone 15 Pro Max
Sentiment: Mixed
The iPhone 15 Pro Max offers impressive upgrades, particularly for professional videography and high-resolution photography, but for everyday use, it feels too similar to last generation and the more affordable iPhone 15.

📸 High-resolution main camera
...The 24 megapixel image looks so much better than the 12 megapixel version from the iPhone 14 Pro Max... Watch in video
🎥 Professional-quality video
...This is by far the biggest change I've seen in a one year upgrade... in many situations, the iPhone footage can now look just as good as from a $3,000 camera... Watch in video
⚙️ Action button customization
...Now, instead of only toggling on silent mode, this button can be mapped to a whole array of things. And I think this is a great change... Watch in video
🌟 Dynamic Island and Live Activities
...One of my favorite use cases is toggle track, which keeps track of how long I spend on things... It makes it much easier to monitor things... Watch in video
🔍 Five times telephoto lens
...The five times doesn't just give this phone more reach, but it also gives it a very cool perspective for portraits... Watch in video
💻 Faster data transfer with USB-C
...Transferring two gigs only took about five seconds... Watch in video
🏞 Display enhancements
...The display is still very smooth and can go extremely bright, but it's nothing new at this point... Watch in video
📱 Beautiful, more approachable design
...It's also pretty scratch resistant. Over the last two months, I didn't even have a case on it most of the time... it still looks brand new... Watch in video
🤔 😕 Feels similar to the last two generations of iPhones
...I feel really conflicted. On one hand, it felt pretty similar to the last two generations of iPhones... Watch quote in video
🤔 🤷‍♂️ Some features are also available on the cheaper iPhone 15
...But those same features might not be meaningful to you and others are also available on the cheaper iPhone 15... Watch quote in video
🤔 📏 Ridiculously long minimum focus distance on the five times camera
...Another surprising finding is that the five times camera has a ridiculously long minimum focus distance. That means it literally cannot focus on things less than three feet away from the phone... Watch quote in video
🤔 📉 Three times zoom quality is worse than last year
...And at first, I wasn't sure about replacing the three times telephoto with five times, especially since now, the three times is worse than what it was last year... Watch quote in video
🤔 😑 Ultra-wide and selfie lens haven't seen much improvement
...However, I do wish that they gave more attention to the ultra wide and selfie lens, because even compared to two years ago, they're practically the same. And personally, I use those two lenses quite often... Watch quote in video
🤔 📱 Requires more storage due to larger file sizes
...However, those are much larger files than before, which would certainly make storage a concern... Watch quote in video
🤔 🔥 GPU thermal throttles aggressively
...So in my use, the 15 Pro Max's performance didn't feel much different than last gen, especially since the GPU still does thermal throttle quite aggressively. After two minutes, it had already dipped 26%... Watch quote in video
🤔 📊 Performance and efficiency improvements are marginal
...I had also hoped that the three nanometer chip would bring big efficiency benefits and extend the battery life. And it does, but only slightly... Watch quote in video
🤔 🔋 Battery life isn't significantly better
...And at the end, even with a marginally larger battery, the iPhone 15 Pro Max only lasted about 9% longer. Considering this is a brand new phone versus a one-year-old phone and they have the same display, it's just not that impressive... Watch quote in video
