Hello
Yo

These days its difficult to spot a difference between these smartphones hardware wise. The battle is becoming more of software one than hardware.
Agreed that’s why apple wins. Cuz IOS
like if A galaxy from 3 years ago is better than iphone15PM
@@Randomized_tv but then why should people switch phones every year?
@@Randomized_tvno, its cuz of the US technology
of course, there are limitations for hardware that aren't there for software optimization, things can always be a little bit smoother or more bulletproof in terms of coding or whatever idk lol

It is insane to see him uploading regularly! I also upload daily but my videos don't need even 5% of the work/ editing that Arun's video need and they still take around 4 hours to record/edit/upload! It makes me respect this man even more to see him uploading such perfect videos regularly!
Your reviews are incredibly professional, a total masterpiece here. Thanks for producing such a high quality experience for your viewers!!
WTF do you mean professional? The way he reviewed is normal to me LOL

This is one of the best reviews to date. Super well done. Dave2D"s review felt like he mailed it in. This is on another level.
Thanks bro
You forgot the Zoom Camera 14:20
No con. So is that a perfect phone?
thank you mate👍
The volume buttons on an iPhone, actually are the shutter buttons as well. So if you put your phone in landscape mode, you can use the volume up or volume down button and that’ll take the photo.
I've watched a bunch of reviews and loved this one the most. So thorough, so good!
Fr
My advice, wait until NDA runs out. As currently they are doing a sheltered review.
You know a review is legit when you have THE TwoMinutePapers commending it. But yeah an amazing, thorough, review. Subbed and much appreciated 🙌🏻
Bro doesn’t watch MB
"Hold on to your papers", are you here?
The most comfortable iPhones to hold were 3G and 3GS. The rounded back was so smooth and curvy, that was a dream to hold. Never got a phone that was so comfy in the hand like the 3GS.
Nah, the 3G and 3GS piano gloss plastic felt gross right away.
But then when the 4 came out it looked so dreamy 😍 that Retina display!! It's funny that you couldn't shoot video on the 3G!! As soon as the 3GS came out I dived on it
You're in the 1 percent of the population that holds their phone with no case. The curves and feel are useless once a case goes on.
I liked the XS!
🤡
Great review! I have my new 15 pro max in hand and its amazing. I also might have missed it in your review....very good
Been using voice isolation since 13 Pro Max. It does a great job on video calls outdoors.
Every second of his videos are worth watching! Absolutely incredible KZheadr! No bullshit Intro, no unnecessary drama, all productive content! So glad to have found him here! He is my Go-to person for any tech related content esp knowing that I am not too tech savvy but being assured that I will learn a lot whenever I click his videos! 💯🙌🏻
One thing that needs to be mentioned more are the storage markups. On all iPhones, going from 128GB to 256GB is $100, and 256GB to 512GB is $200. On a SSD, the price of those upgrades would be about $5 and $10, respectively. This is a 20x markup!!
Just compare the price on desktop SSD.. even the M.2 is more expensive like the SATA SSD, and this is what they minimalized in the phone.. Apple use PCIe NVME (M.2 also an NVME drive what communicating on PCIe port..) and Android use still SATA drives in UFS.
@@TamasKiss-yk4stwhich Android uses sata in ufs?
@@Cosplayinghuman all of them.. UFS 1.0 was based on SATA2, UFS 2.0 was based on SATA 3, UFS 3.0 was based on a 5 drives SATA RAID and UFS 4.0 still just a crappy SATA RAID but with 10 drives now.
@TamasKiss-yk4st so what does this mean? In general
u dont actually know wut your talking about,ufs is a flash specification but sata is a serial bus and connector standard,their different in fundamental ways@@TamasKiss-yk4st

This was one of the best reviews ever! I just purchased the iPhone 15 Pro and I'm glad I made a good choice.
The fact that we called the 11 pro's lens size 'BIG' when it got released and now seeing it side by side at 8:00 with the 15 pro is just

Hands down the best review I have seen for the iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Max 🙌🏾
This is, by far, the best and most conclusive iPhone 15 Pro review on the internet! Great job!
What I love most is the type C port! I was always thinking about switching to android just because of that. Such a small change, but to me it made an impact on my daily carry.
You can use voice isolation on voice notes. Just lock the voice recognition to hands free mode and then open the control centre and turn it on once and it’ll be default for that app

It's amazing how well these videos flow and how crisply they're edited and presented! This review runs almost 20 minutes which is about the length of a sticom episode, but far more engaging.
As someone who has had budget phones (including iPhone SE 1st gen and 2nd gen right before this one) I absolutely love this phone! I can’t go back. It’s like going from 60fps to 30fps, you just can’t do it.
Love the way how fluid your analysis feels! Thanks for upping tech review standards for the world. Cheers!
I love how when he was playing resident evil, he layed his phone against his cat and his cat was just chill with it.
I’ve been watching these reviews across different channels for like over a decade and had never seen yours. I’ve gotta say, this was the most thorough, informative, cinematically beautiful and honest video I’ve ever seen about the iPhone. Subscribed 🤘🏼
Right? SAAAAME haha.

I’ve watched several videos today on the new iPhone and this has been by far the best. So much information that isn’t presented elsewhere. Thank you and keep it up!
I got the 15 pro and am very happy with it, no complaints. My previous phone was a pixel 7
Been convincing myself to upgrade to this phone, have watched several videos. I am now sold by this one ❤

About 3 years ago or so, there was this version of gcam mod which i used to have on my redmi note 7 which takes portrait shots when you take normal pictures. It'll give you your portrait shot in addition to your normal shots and save both of them. And with Google photos you could increase, decrease or remove the blur if you want

First time owning an iPhone (specifically this one reviewed) and I'm amazed how the image quality seems almost at par with those coming from a large sensor camera. I ca only hope that Apple will someday release a standalone large sensor camera with all their software smarts inside it.
what lens mount would it be tho?
@@l.s.11probably a proprietary one with their own proprietary contact pins and a small selection of super expensive lenses available in the apple store.
Your presentation style earned you a new subscriber. Brilliant!
I think in my whole life I used comment section for actually leaving a comment less than 5 times (besides friends and family), but your channel definitely deserves this. The way you make these videos is art. Truly art. From a perfectionist human perspective you really tick every box, every question that I might have and for most of the products your review is more than enough to make a good idea. I think your channel is still underrated and really hope you are going to have the success you deserve. From the same perspective, trust me, I can see the stress and hard work behind, may your life be full of achievements and joy.
Very sweet, the entire team appreciated this! We definitely try
@@Mrwhosetheboss nice to hear that your entire team reads comments together
This is a good comment, stranger. I felt good reading it as well.
Bro commented first time and got a reply
Your videos are the best in tech world. So lively, kinda interactive, has a feel good vibe and has depth too. Appreciate the hardwork. The best in the business. ❤️
My man, you are the best iPhone reviewer out there. Just discovered your channel and now I don’t bother with other channels
This is one of the most professional and thorough reviews I’ve seen of anything
I absolutely love your videos thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put these together whilst making them entertaining
He is doing it for his own benefit, apple is paying him too. Wait for a real review from Flossy Carter
I've just tried voice isolation on my 12 mini and it worked about as effectively as the video showed for the 15 (had music blaring and recorded a message with and without voice isolation and the music was completely masked when VI was on), so not sure why this is mentioned as a breakthrough feature for the iPhone 15! Other than that, great review as usual.
i have a 12 mini as well i never even knew it had voice isolation.
I have the iPhone 10 and I have uses the voice isolation feature during calls
Same, voice isolation has been since iOS 15 now, if I remember correctly. And it sounds exactly the same. Don’t know why he mentioned this
I had the same thought
They were running low on new content for the presentation, so they highlighted a few previously introduced features.
Man - you put so much effort into your videos. Admirable.
Your review videos are the best 💯💯. I did this thing where I type your exact words in your reviews without making any chages or tweaks. Word for word just for the fun of it!!. Moving on to the Samsung comparison rai now!😅😅
They definitely are starting to make the phones look the same every year but I believe the stuff they're doing backend software wise is definitely making it a new phone each year. However the caveat with that is it doesn't really entice you to want to buy it.
We are pretty much at a point that there aren't any more big stuff you can put in a smartphone
@@neon_arch don't read my name
Its definitely becoming more of a software war than a hardware one!
@@Mrwhosetheboss True
@@Mrwhosethebosscan I ask something? How did you get the phone before it’s on sale?
Arun, you are becoming greater day by day. That was the most thorough review of iphone 15 I have found in KZhead till now. 😊
he is becoming redundant. he cant even review the best phone at the moment . Whay are they unable to review the mate 60 pro .it appears to be a hot potato . This isnt any tech youtuber he is just an apple fan
your way of presentation compelled me to see without blinking. Impressive
suchhh high quality video production and editing. you are rly setting the standard!
Since I am not sponsored by Apple I can easily say, iPhone 15 Pro got 3% better since iPhone 12 Pro so it's time to upgrade;) And iPhone 15 is like Back to the Future past, since it is using USB 2.0 from year 2000 in 2023 and 60hz for $800. What an mind boggling innovation.
LOL..right on the nose buddy.
Since you are not sponsored by apple you get to lie about the phone and say things that arent that true
@@chibin838name 5 actual upgrades to the iphone 15 other than the "colors" or the usb port
It’s *not* using USB 2, dude. Didn’t you listen to anything?
@@vondahe15 Pro uses 3.0, but 15 uses 2.0, both are USB-C
The SmartHDR on the XS Max was actually very aggressive but looked unnatural in some scenes. Then Apple decided to dial it way down on the 11 Pro and so forth. I’m glad that the aggressive HDR returns in a natural way.
I just think as they are doing these incremental zoom by tapping, they should also let you decide first with the x3 and then x5. Getting the same great quality out
Man I spent like four years building up my entertainment setup all apple. It was slow cause I’m poor and I bought everything outright.. no payment plans or credit, I saved. iPhone 11 first in 2019. Then got some Bose QC35ii.. then the MacBook M1 Air (amazing). Then got the AirPods Pro 2 and love them. My issue now is my battery in the iPhone 11 is shot. My options for replacement aren’t practical. So.. here I am watching iPhone 15 videos non stop. I will somehow fandango a way to get an iPhone 14/15 fully paid off within the year! And then I’ll update how good it is. I’m motivating myself. I’m a simple man.. 128gb non-pro is fine for me. Just the standard iPhone with a fresh battery and is ~1 year old or newer. We all are here daydreaming the same thing so thank you Arun (hope I spelt right) 👍
Thank you for a detailed, VERY DETAILED comparison! Makes it very worthwile to watch these videos before upgrading!
6:48 - love that little effect you added on there
Awesome video ! Waiting for my 15 pro max to come in the mail . I haven’t upgraded my phone since the 11 pro max so hopefully the 15PM will last at least 4 years too
I remember those camera features were available on the Nokia Lumias. My 920 and 1020 had those features built in as well. Nokia was ahead of its time for sure when it came to cameras and software.
You can take photos with volume buttons as well.i think volume button is more comfortable to use as a shutter than the action button.
Hes just looking for anything to talk about there are almost no upgrades in this generation
I’m quite interested in seeing the AAA games they have in mind for it. While I’m sure there’s more to be said about the length of the battery you’d get with it, game companies like Nintendo should keep an eye for these kinds of moves from tech companies such as Apple. Especially considering how “limited” the portable gaming space is.
nintendo is in a completely different market.
If you haven't heard, a new Nintendo console is very likely to release sometime in 2024. Rumors on specs saying it's pretty good that it might be around or even slightly powerful than the PS4. I really do think Nintendo is paying attention, that's why if the "rumors" are true, Nintendo is making sure to bring the power with their next system.
@@Maxawa0851i agree
A physical controller is better than touchscreen controlling
@@Maxawa0851 That’s the point. Not as much anymore.
I’ve literally just bought a 15 pro and I’ll admit I’m very impressed it’s so fast and so powerful brilliant iPhone 📱
Love that you’re propping your phone up on your cat. I do that too 😂 I also preordered my 15 Pro the other day. I’m super excited, considering I’m upgrading from iPhone 11.
Brilliant review! Best I've seen. Your astute insights and ability to summarise lots of info in a really compelling way is commendable. Bit of a video editing masterclass too. Well done!
It's great that HDR images seem to be better on this phone. Hope the new iOS makes them better on my 14 Pro too. I dislike being unable to turn off HDR for photos. The very least Apple could do to make up for this is to make HDR actually good. As it stands now, HDR overdoes it all and darkens everything to the point that I have to manually adjust the images later on.
The HDR seems improved. But somehow the sharpening got worse
This is the reason im getting rid of the 14pro. I really hate how dark the pictures look like if they were taken with an iphone 8.,

Great review! I must be crazy because I prefer the squared design updates introduced with the 12 and I also love the 15 pro max’s but I did not like the X / 11’s rounded design
Then I'm loco as well!
Square design is pretty nice. I know I’m probably gonna get a lot of hate for this but, remember I think the iPhone 6 design? Or whichever generation it is, but the one which is metal and has like that matte feeling to it, the ones who were easy to break because they could bend easily? I really like those designs and the way it felt on my hand, if only they could have made it more reliable and sturdy. I would have loved it. Especially the black color that they had.
Me too
OMG! I just got home and I’m finally setting up my iPhone 15 Pro can’t wait to see what’s in store for me!
I’m so excited to get mine on launch day I knew although a bunch of people were complaining it was a smaller update that it wasn’t, I can’t wait to have the best phone out there when I get mine!
Can you show us how big is the loss on photos between 3x to 5x on the Pro Max vs the Pro and what that means in everyday life instances? Family time photos, indoor houses photos etc. Im not sure if 5x is used frequently unless you are on holiday!! Thanks man

Amazing ! I like this video .The battle is becoming more of software one than hardware is a great job 👍
Happy to see that Apple is FINALLY going back (a little) to the curvier phones of the 6-11 era. I have an 11, my dad the X, and my gf has the 13. My 11 and my dad’s X feel so much better and smoother to handle than her 13, it’s wild. It’s one of the reasons I’ve been holding off on upgrading, but now I think I finally will.

Getting my 15 pro today, can’t wait to see the difference from my current iPhone 11 I’ve used for 4 years
I finally updated from the 13 pro to 15 pro. I’ve been an iPhone user since 2008, this has been my smoothest upgrade ever. So easy that when I hit a password screen, I’m startled because I keep forgetting.

The newly-released iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max are suffering from overheating issues, according to owners. The flagship Apple phones are reportedly reaching temperatures as high as 47C, with some users claiming that the handsets become too hot to touch while not using a case. Seems because of the use of Titanium for the case
PS4 games you mentioned are running 1080p not 900p, and PS4 and Xbox One did support HDR too.

As an iPhone 14 pro user, I have to say the only thing making me remotely want to upgrade to the 15 pro is the reduced weight, and based on that alone I can’t justify the cost. Like a lot of people feel nothing is very exiting about this new lineup. So it’s a skip from me until next year…maybe
The weight difference is barely anything. That would be an absurd reason to upgrade from a 14 pro, so good call
