What ever I want know what iPhones (14pro- 15 )photos quality is the best for clarity. And which phone's good of battery health?
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅@@user-zk6qs7xe2i
I was an Android user and I decided to shift to iOS. I had this confusion on choosing between 14pro and 15. But eventually I chose the 15 and I am completely happy now. Especially with the ability to change to portraits (which is super useful btw). The 60hz is a problem, yes, but its not that big of a problem because of the smooth animations of iOS and personally for me I dont mind it now
Hey, i'm also an Android user and I want to switch to iOS and I have my eyes on the 15. How was ur experience as an ex-Android? Did u get used to the small size of the 15 (6.1inch) (in case u were coming from a bigger device)? And was there any problem with apps since the App Store doesn't have as many apps as the Play Store? And also do u feel like u're missing out on features like the split screen and the customization...? Sorry 4 this long comment, i'm just really curious
@@luminalscutiie651 I bought the 15 instead of 15 plus mainly because of its size. I am actually tired of using big phones. So for me 15 is perfect in terms of the screen size. But if you prefer a bigger phone go for the plus version(also will get the best battery ever in an iPhone). And yes there are differences, the main one is data transfer. I am from India and in here most people use Android. iPhone to iPhone transfer is very easy, but iPhone to Android, uhm that's not so good 🥴. Regarding the apps, all of the regular mainstream apps are available on the app store, so that's not an issue for me. So if you are in an Android community the data transfer part is the major setback which I felt.
@@luminalscutiie651 You will miss it, but it depends how much you use the split screen and customization. All in all, it's a great phone. Why are you switching though? I am an Apple user thinking of switching to S23
@@akshaypatil9035 i'm switching to iphone mainly cuz i want to get a macbook and only then i will be able to use the Airdrop function (uk the ecosystem and stuff), and also i've always loved the quality of the camera in iphones and how secure they are (i'm comming from a 200$ android btw)
@@akshaypatil9035same for me! I am an Apple user (14 pro max) thinking to make the change to Android (S23 Ultra) but I am not 100% decided yet - Any thoughts?
This is the review I’ve been waiting for. Comparing the base model with the flagship from last year since they have some spec parallels. Subscribed!
What a great comparison. Well done!
The locations are just gorgeous! The review was cool, especially comparison on the hair blur/sharpness in portrait mode.
Thanks a ton!
Thank you for such a useful video! Great comparison and beautiful scenery🤩
Actually, I always watch your videos fully. And regarding the cameras, I guessed correctly which one is which. Well done bro! Amazing hard work and video! Keep it up man!
Thank you so much!
To be honest when the iPhone 15 not been released the iPhone 14 pro camera quality was so great but I noticed after the release of 15 pro, the 14 Pro Camera became a major downgrade not the best of image quality unlike before!
i love the comparison bro. Keep it UP
Beautiful landscapes, bro!
Great comparison, keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Nice and detailed comparison 😎✅
Absolutely a great review. Good job, makes picking easier for us!
Amazing! Thank you for the explanation❤
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, the most detailed comparison on the internet.
You review very well!
The comparison I was looking for the whole month.... I can't like this video enough.
awesome, thanks a lot!
Great video mate!! plz compare s23 vs iphone 15
Your analysis and video quality super❤
Thank you so much 😀
Great video, but I need to know what is that place you’ve been while filming it?! Stunning!!
Thanks a lot! Czech Republic and Austria :)
Quite helpful! Thank you :)
Really really thank you bro ❤
Hello, on the iPhone 14 pro the deterioration of the battery is higher than in the other iPhones? I read several news on the subject on the web. My 14 pro after 9 months is at 94% and I notice a decrease in autonomy. I’m considering giving it in to get 15 plus. What do you think?
Loved the video! And the accent! 😅👍🏻
This is such an excellent comparison .. but missing the cinematic video comparison.. is there any significant difference in both?
Great comparasion. I was thinking of getting 14 pro but ended up to 15.
Thanks, good video!
this video really has effort. great views, great comparison, great objectivity... i appreciate it man. keep going like this!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video keep it up 🎉
Thanks!
Great video! Will you also be making a video on the Pixel 8 Pro?
Yeah why not, what about the pixel 8pro makes it special and what should I focus on?
Your video quality is so good
Ever since iPhone 15 comes with ability to add portrait mode after taking regular picture, i don’t use that mode in camera app
I don’t know about iPhones, but your camera for interview and post processing are awesome! I want that one 😁
the selfie camera video is MUCH better on iPhone 15, if you cant see the difference you might be half blind
Already on pro older model. I'm never switching to base model. Ever. Anyway, great content, Steven! Nice!
Who asked you to switch😂
@@BruceLee-go2vy your momma 😂
@@BruceLee-go2vy lmaooo right
Stop the crying and keep consuming, buddy.
Which camera are u using to make the video???That one is excellent 👌
this is a really good comparison, thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for your review I want a high quality main lense for taking videos and pictures of family moments and don't really have time for editing so I think 15 is a great choice
Good choice!
What kind of gear you use to record your videos for the channel? thanks for the review
I just got an iPhone 15 and it’s my first iPhone ever. I love it so far. I’m loving taking pictures of my kids! ❤️
so how's your experience? im thinking to buy an iphone 15 too
You are amazing 👍😍🤩 bro. Really your video is superb. Love ❤ from india 🇮🇳
After having a 3X camera for the first time last year with my 14 Pro I don’t think I could go back to a phone without that feature. I know 3X sounds modest but it has made a big difference for me in a few photos that would have been next to worthless if taken on my old 12 Mini. Hopefully next year they upgrade the standard size 16 Pro zoom lens to 5X or higher
15 also has 3 x option but its digital
@@busybee2148That's the thing I dislike with apple's approach. up to 4.9x on the 15PM is just digital crop. Pixel 7 and 8 Pro also have only 5x telephotos but combine shots from main and tele into one photo when zooming more than 2x so it is overall much more detailed than the fully digital shot on the 15PM.
@@ballooneyjr4294 I know what you mean, the 12 Mini was so easy to use one handed
Im torn! Looking into making short videos and photos to post and would do usual activities - socmed, watching videos, videocalling. Does the iphone 14pro have the voice isolation when calling too? Im really torn which to buy 😩
Yeah, in the presentation with the 15 series they mentioned new Lens coating for better/lesser lens flare than before. That is the difference i first noticed in the photos and videos comparison. Now if i Had the choice between both i would choose the 14 Pro bcs the zoom lens is very useful imo and the much better 120hz display on the 14P feels much more fluid.
Fair enough!
The Apple keynote said that only the Pro models of the 15 got the lens coating tho, not regular 15s
@@LostAxosCan't watch the keynote rn but a quick look at phonearena's summary of the keynote shows both the 15 (Plus) and 15 Pro (Max) having a new coating for less flare. As shown in some videos from Mrwhosetheboss and others it doesnt affect the flare much.
@@peters.7428many tech reviewers did get this wrong tho, as far as I’m aware, apple announced it for the Pros and in various camera comparisons, there is always more lens flare on the regular model 15s than the pros
@@LostAxosYeah I absolutely could be mistaken. However even on the Pro phones flare in mid to low light videos and photos is still very much present as long as there are light sources like distant lamps.
Is 15 pro max the same on telefoto lense as 14 pro max (using lense to zoom) or like 15 with digital zoom? Thank you for the review 😊
i am going for the 14 pro max. as 3x is something i look forward to using for pictures.
Potrait lovers go for 14 pro
@@reelsmedia8092 this portrait lover goes for the 15
I was thinking of getting the 14 pro but ended up the 15, it is just perfect and I love everything about it.
Same fam
As a 14 pro user, I confirm the 15 is the phone ever made
Same. Good thing iPhone 14pro was out of stock haha
great review
Thanks a lot! Appreciate it!
I got the 14 pro and I am happy and plan on keeping it until the 18
They should step up their game in a lot of enthusiast areas, even if it's only on the pros
The lack of white balance control just kills me. It's essential in my opinion and I often have ridiculous white balance that's completely off on my iphone 12 pro. It makes so many pictures trash. Great detailed review!
Thanks a lot!
you can tweak it with the profiles and editing the picture
In the DJI MIMO app you have white balance adjust. And i bet on some dedicated video/photo apps you have it as well without the need of a DJI gimbal. Didnt know thats an issue because its in the MIMO app since years.
I use portrait mode more often than any other modes
Sir I want to know which camera and lenses you are using ❤
You don’t have to believe me but I could clearly tell the difference for the first selfie camera comparison, it’s clear as day to me
I love portrait pics and cinematic mood video which one should i buy
Hola, quiero saber tu opinión sobre el teléfono Pixel 7. ¿Es bueno o hay una alternativa mejor para los iPhone?
great review.
Thank you! 🫡
I chose the iPhone 15 Plus, and it is amazing!
great video
Which camera app do you use for your next video footage you talking about
Is the iphone 15 base model good for vlogging?im planning to buy this week
yep
I am watching it on my iPhone 15
personally, I bought the iPhone 15 a bit more than a month ago, it's AMAZING. I'm coming from a redmi note 10 (200€ phone) so there is a huge difference ! The photos look great, gaming on it is incredible and despite having a 60hz display (my old phone had a 90hz one) it feels fast and responsive, more responsive than my old phone, so I don't really mind the lack of 120hz refresh rate. The always on display isn't a big miss for me because I'm not a big fan of it but it's sad that apple still gives this feature only for the higher end models :( iOs is great : the animations are smooth and the dynamic island is pretty useful. It's not a reason to get a phone with one I think but it's a nice to have. The front camera and the sensors aren't really on the way when using the phone, but sometimes, when watching videos, a tiny part of it can be hidden but it's not a big deal. So, for me, the iPhone 15 is really worth his cost ! Have a nice day :)
Coming from samsung s20fe 120hz screen. I hardly can notice a difference with the 60hz. Camera and phone as self is great. I still think some android functions are better, but for my day to day use the iphone is good enough
I came from a Galaxy S21+ and I love it. I have no regrets with switching, though there are little quirks from Android that I miss. I also don’t see any difference with the refresh rate. Oh and I love the dynamic island! Such a cool feature to have on a smartphone.
@@purplepixiejade i miss the camera options in the camera instead of in settings menu. The dynamic island is great.
@@Richard1976 Yeah me too, but the thing that annoys me the more is the lack of control like white balance

Great vid. I have 14 pro max & 15 base model. 15 is surprisingly impressive.
SmartHDR5 was the reason to buy 15PM and sell my 14PM. Finally you can do selfies and more with a bright background and not get only a white sky
Hi sir I bought samsung 23 ultra a week before . I wanted to know how to stop post processing of photos especially for 200mp camera clicked. When I click the photo is clear and after processing it becomes little blur and artificial. Please help . Tried all settings like turning off scene optimizer and softening.
Bro In ur hand iph15 or 15 plus ?
Appreciate it!
Without a doubt, having ProRes is more important because it gives you raw footage that you can edit the way you like. On the other hand, adding a colour temperature setting is such a trivial thing that I really don't know why it hasn't been included long ago
prores is not raw footage though, its just uncompressed codec, in fact I'd prefer H.265 LOG over standard ProRes But I agree on the color temperature settings part with you!
thank you!!!
Pls make video for samsung s21fe and samsung s23 cameras. Gives us some tips for taking landscape photos
Till date, I was an Android user (Galaxy) and few days ago moved to iOS and got myself an iPhone 15 plus and I am just loving it.
I watched until that moment 🤗
I think 15 is more logical to choose if you are ok with 60hz, just bought 15
Screen is not brighter on 14 check if black point is on or what is name is. When shooting with sun behind, just like a dslr the exposure changes with very small variations and pictures is not taken exactly the same so it could be a random thing. Watched several hundreds videos like this. Sometimes older phones exposures better and so on. As you can se the iphone 14 have more overexposure then 15 and when having the sun behind especially there will be big differences. Best thing to test it is to press the ex/focus at the same point. Also you can try the setting in iphone can't remember if it was the fps or shutterspeed, anyways you can lock it so it won't ge below want you want. So it will be darker or have more iso instead. Also don't use balanced quality apple set as standard in setting, it lowers the quality.
on paper-sure, but every time I went outdoors to film the 14 pro was brighter and easier to see whats going on on the screen
The biggest difference for camera system will actually be the ultrawide. Apart from the 3X zoom, of course.. the regular 15 straight up can’t even compete. The regular 15’s ultrawide, as with any other regular iPhones since iPhone 11 have inferior sensor, slower aperture of F/2.4 and doesn’t come with any sort of auto focus capabilities. iPhone 14 Pro ultrawide uses IMX633 sensor which is also found in iPhone 15 Pro, it has bigger sensor size of 1/2.55”, quicker aperture at F/2.2 and feature PDAF auto focus working together with LiDAR sensor. In daylight, the difference wouldn’t be as much but at medium to low light onwards, the difference in image/video quality is night and day. The regular iPhones output deteriorate quickly, much softer around the corners, lacking details because it doesn’t have auto focus capability and overall output is much darker with visible noise all around due to slower aperture. Also worth mentioning, even though they both have 48MP sensor.. 14 Pro and regular 15 have different sensor. The main 48MP camera for iPhone 14 Pro is the same sensor found in iPhone 15 Pro which is Sony IMX803. Featuring bigger sensor size of 1/1.28” and larger pixel size of 1.22um. It also has wider field of view of 24mm. The regular 15 uses slightly new design 48MP sensor but comes with smaller sensor size of 1/1.56” and smaller pixel size of 1.0um with narrower field of view of 26mm.
I got the regular 15 in 256GB (to match the 256GB iPad Air M1) and im super happy about it. Works like a charme, bright screen, amazing battery runtime and 256GB are plenty of storage Portrait Mode quality increased heavily compared to my 12 Mini which im still using... iPhone 15 is mainly the secondary, "camera" and gaming phone or monitor for my mirrorless camera. The thing with any modern iPhone since iPhone 14.... there is no compace one anymore. I really appreciate sometimes the iPhone 15 screen size, but what i still like more is the compact 12 Mini with noticeable less protruding cameras, just more convenient especially for one hand usage.
How's the battery life?how many hours does goes from 100%to1% and how much time does it take to charge with 20w charger?
@@solidflix7990 Sooo... I have now only a hardcore usage as examples (Pokemon Go active and in background running autocatch), but typically anything around 5-10 hours display on time including like 10 hours PoGo in the background, depending on processor load/tasks and screen brightness. Charging takes about 30-40 minutes on a cold surface (such as i charge it often, with the backside lying flat on the aluminium MacBook Pro) from lets say 0-10% to 80%. When you dont cool it properly during charging, you can expect longer charging times tho! I cant really say how long charging takes to 100% since i use exclusively the 80% charge limit in the settings and in this setting the few times (about 2x per month) it charges to 100% it takes ridicilous long since its "calibrating". Realistically its pretty amazing, at least the base iPhone 15
Like this so much video. Details
I wish Apple gives an camera update on the 14 series cause it makes no sense to lack behind from the basic 15 models they are using exactly the same hardware the is no excuse from apple other than forcing you to upgrade!
officially they even said the 14 Pro models get the same new portrait mode, interesting that its still worse with the new and same iOS version. Probably in the future? But i would also guess as well basic apple anti consumer behaviour to force them to upgrade early on.
Also wanted to know the country/city you have shot this?
Hey Steven, can you please help me decide between the two. My priority is camera. Which one in your opinion is better in terms of image/ video quality considering main camera.
Hmm, if we talk about main camera only, I'd go for something more future proof, since the difference will be barely noticeable however a smaller footprint phone is more convenient to carry around imo
Depends.... how often you would use 3x zoom and beyond? I personally sticked to base iPhone 15 and its very good main camera because i have 2 tiny point and shoot cameras, a Sony W830, classy, old CCD technology and a more modern RX100 IV with much better stabiliser, low light, features, much better video,... For anything "serious" i have anyways a proper mirrorless camera and a decent lens collection, thats why i always had non-Pro iPhones so far and most of the iPhones since 2014 were 2nd hand, changed every 2-4 years.
im still consider about 14pro 2nd vs 15 non-pro New with same price. Im just take picture and social-non gaming. Pls give me advise.
Doesn't the 14 pro have Macro capability that the 15 is missing?
Wow clearly 15 cam is superior. I will go with 15 instead of 14 pro. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Samsung Expert Raw now has Nd filter. Can you make a video about that? thank you
I would go for 15 because of type c charger and much more comfortable than 14 pro I think if you dont bother with 60hz display 15 would be the best choice
Can you do the same video with 15 vs 15 pro ? Which have better photo and camera pls?,???
6:30 i was a little suspectong he didn't clean the lenses, you read my mind what i would think, nice predictive thinking and attention to detail from you.
😊 thanks!
I chose the 15 Plus over 14 Pro Max because of everything. The only advantage the 14 Pro Max has is the ProMotion, while the rest it loses
I kinda regret getting the pro max, its too bulky for me
120hz laughing in the corner
@@stevendivishYesterday I ordered 15. Will have it tomorrow or the next day. The phone feels like a phone to me! I believe phones have become unattractively (if there is such a word 😂) bulky and big just because to brag out about the hardware like camera. Well yes you can (more easily) have a better quality camera if your phone is big. But the real challenge should be having great camera while maintaining the good design and shape. We wanna use our phone as a phone and not as tablets or laptops. If I wanted to care about quality I think S23 Ultra arguably slightly better than any iphone and while the design and shape is modern n good but it is too big to me that I am not that much comfortable holding it in my hands. I believe the competition for better hardware (and lack of significant hardware advancements over the recent 10 years) have made companies to manufacturer bigger and uglier phones. Could they maintain the hardware performance if they had to do it on a iphone 5s phone?! I'm not saying that's the perfect size but you see my point right.
@@user-jo9yd2sg9mactually it is not a makro thing we should have. Also always on display. If you have money, we dont need to discuss , go for it but 14 pro price too much.
@@eissa_rshi like the size of 13 mini but base models is not satisfying. to me. I’ll still go with the pro
James Franco put it best: “It same same but different..”
Can you please please do a comparison between the camera of the 15 regular vs 15 pro max
hmm...they are very different that's for sure, I'll try to make a vid about it in the future!
I watched until that moment!
800 Euro incl Tax for a new 15 base is a strong word + the less weight and usb c 200 Euro more for the 14 pro Of course 3x zoom is nice and always on display but I upgraded from an SE 2020 - let’s see if I really will miss it then maybe I will go pro at my next one At the moment I really like the light weight and usb c charging
upgraded from 12 Mini to 15. Now im back at the 12 Mini, 15 too big for most usecases.
How's the front cam? Is it good?
where do you live bro, the views are amazing
Is these all photos from hallstat, Austria ??and other part in Prague, Czech republic 😅
worldclass video❤
thanks!
What about Pro res? Or cinematic mode?
Ey mate! What a wonderful video! I really enjoyed it. Maybe you can help me . I can’t decide between 15 plus and pro. I don’t play video games , and the pictures I take are the casual ones for social media. The price here in Argentina are $1070 for the plus and $1150 for pro model, so price is not an issue. However, taking into account that sometimes I’m a lot of time out of my house, I was considering getting the plus due to its battery. What do you think? Thanks in advance!!!!
Hey there! Thanks a bunch for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video! Considering you're not into gaming and mainly use the phone for casual social media photos, the 15 Plus sounds like a solid choice, especially with its longer battery life. If being out for extended periods is a common scenario for you, the extra battery power could be a game-changer. Given the marginal price difference and your specific needs, it seems like a practical decision. I like the base 15 a lot, havent used the plus to be honest but I'd assume it's just as good just a bit bigger. So go for the Plus and enjoy that worry-free battery life!
@@stevendivish thank you for taking your time and answering me, I appreciate it! So, I’ll go for the 15+ indeed. Keep up the good work! See you in your next videos!
Sounds like a similar issue i had (15 256GB or 15 Pro 128GB... like... do i need the 3x camera for 100$ more and half the storage?) If you really think about the tele camera (so Pro models) and also want more battery juice... well, you also said "price is not an issue"..... 15 Pro Max? Maybe i have to tell you.... in the Apple universe you better are aware of the "Pro" myth... on some products the "Pro" really means professional, but in the case of iPhones, iPads and even with some MacBooks (like the 13" "Pro" with base M1 and 8GB Ram/256GB SSD, "pro"...^^) the term "Pro" is part of their upselling strategy with some features exclusive on "Pro" models (120Hz, 3x/5x tele camera, Always-On-Display,....) What could also help you... the base 15 is now very close to a "Pro" iPhone since it has the amazing 48MP (quad pixel array, sadly -.-) camera from the Pro models. I personally switched more or less from the iPhone 12 Mini to the base 15. 12 Mini still my main phone since its just convenient with its size, but the 15 is superior when i need it: - much longer battery runtime. 5-15 hours SCREEN ON TIME/gaming. 12 Mini with a broken battery (83% health) barely survives a whole day without doing much. - screen brightness is crazy (its like 600 cd vs 2000 cd or so). When using the iPhone 15 too much, im absolutely dissapointed by the 12 Mini brightness, cranking it up to max and then wondering why the battery drains like hell. - screen size... when doing stuff on it, gaming, watching stuff etc, the "big" base 15 is just a charme, where the 12 Mini feels too small Im wondering, are you talking about 15 Plus vs 15 Pro (non max)? All i can tell you... even the "small" 15 is lasting very long, 15 Pro not so much. The 15 Plus and 15 Pro Max are the ones with the most juice.
