Loving the feedback! Also NOTE: Spatial video can be shot by iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max only, not by the regular 15, I misspoke at 7:13 - Apple apparently didn't align the cameras for the regular 15.
Lol
You’re the man brother. Sick color on the car. Love the matte black. I just hear they’re a little harder to keep clean.
Why can’t my iPhone 12 shoot spatial video with my aligned cameras 🤨🙃
I use the action button for Shazam! I think it might be one of the most usefull apps to use 😁
I am sorry I am not with you on this one. You are comparing a 50 years motor design Icon , with a phone that should be much better every year. The real design APPLE made was the Iphone 4. The Iphone is freezed in the last 6 years with virtual no changes at all
Whaaa I didn't expect to hear that this was shot on the 15 Pro, insane!
Yes the video looks so good!
Tbh I was thinking it looked kind of like smartphone footage, and then I saw your comment. Still looks really good though!
spoiler alert
SPOILERS!
I KNEW something looked different about the exposure!
The best action button shortcut I’ve found is setting up a shortcut to take a screenshot but automatically delete it without saving to your photos. The screenshot automatically copies to your clipboard and then you can paste without having to do any other actions. Seems simple but has been so nice.
I use the triple tap on the back of the iPhone for my screenshots. Works with cases too!
That's cool, can you crop it as well the images?
GENIUS
Can you tell me how to setup the shortcut?
Volume+power button bro
After 3 months of use I can confidently say that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best iPhone I have ever used. I replace my iPhone every year lol but It doesn't matter if you get a titanium or stainless steel frame, 99% chance that you will need to pay extra to repair back glass 😂
I guess your not using a case or just using a simple silicone case
I feel you bro.. I had the same experience, once I replaced my cases with Vionentus even if I dropped my iPhone on the floor nothing happened.
+1 for Vionentus, the only case that doesn't seem bulky and saves your phone like a shield.
As a repairman I can confirm this regarding the iPhone 15 I receive three times more repairs than other iPhone models
Agreed that Vionentus case is probably the best protective case, being both classic and not massive. However I don't think it's comparable to Megasafe. Correct me if I'm wrong
Upgraded from an iPhone 8 to iPhone 15 Pro this year. The difference is incredible and it's reassuring to hear that this was a good upgrade year haha. The camera is genuinely mind-blowing and that ending was brilliant. Also, for the action button, I have it mapped to turn on/off color filters so it's black and white -- helps me get off my phone when I know I'm wasting too much time on it lol
you are exactly like me lol i held my 8 for this long too but i cannot say it was quite impressive for me since i started to use an android phone with 120hz which is THE real deal for me though the camera captures well detailed photos but when you zoom in photos the quality kind of vanishes a bit too much.
Bro I had an 8 for like, 4 years. Got it when I was 14 or something after my mom upgraded. Recently upgraded to a 14 plus and I couldn’t be happier. I like everything about this phone. I can only imagine the 15 is even better.
Literally looking to upgrade from Iphone 8 plus to 15 Pro Max. Reassuring that it is worth it
I’ll be upgrading from an 8 to the 15 pro too! Next month fingers crossed
Upgraded from a XR to 15 Pro Max. So glad that I waited!
Wouldn’t have thought this was shot on the iPhone, huge props! Also happy birthday, and congrats on the new ride! 😁
since the apple event shocked everyone being shot on an iphone 15 pro it was just right move to follow suit.
I swear i knew it like 1 minute into watching the video, it's so different from usual look of MKBHD videos😅
@@medilyesoudhini7411 same, the colors just seemed a little off
"No wonder the video looks bad" -typical Android fan
@@medilyesoudhini7411yhh, I knew something was off
Happy Birthday Marques! Thank you for the epic videos, wish you the best!
I just bought my 15 Pro Max a month ago after having the iPhone 11 for over 3 years. Man when I tell you this is such a welcomed upgrade! The titanium makes the natural color look and feel so premium and the battery life is out of this world! Definitely am more than satisfied and feel that I made the right choice in finally pulling the trigger and upgrading 🔥 btw congrats on the Porsche
I also have an iphone 11 and im planning to this phone upgrade in 2025
I’m upgrading to this tomorrow from an iPhone XS 🤣 hopefully feels like a big upgrade
These longer reviews are always nice to see, it actually gives an assessment of how the phones been doing over time rather then just when it launches
Longer reviews are spot on, most tech reviewers do first impression as a review and they didn't even used the phone
Every shot on a 15 pro?? Is that including A-Roll?? That is wildly impressive!
Oh hi! Fancy seeing you here
Surprisingly good I must say so as well
LOG video goes hard on the 15 Pro.
How can you not tell? It sucks compared to his usual videos.
it looks like every phone video ever 😂
As always…thanks for the detailed review brother. Happy belated birthday 🎉! Beautiful Porsche!! Wishing you many more years and much success!
have not upgraded from iPhone 7 since I lost my 11. But it’s so clear iPhone 15 pro is the real thing. Wow another hustler to upgrade. Thank you Marques. Really love your work.
It has been a long time since I've been *this* impressed by an iPhone camera. My jaw dropped when you said the whole video was shot on an iPhone. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
STOP WEARING BARCA KITS !!!
I definitely did notice something at the beginning of off. I paused the video and zoomed it. I don’t think I made the conscious thought that it was an iPhone though, I think I figured it was his canon r5. Very impressive, just not Monstro quality yet…
It was pretty dang good
The 3 month review is worth so much more for me than the 2 week review. Love to see this
Well said
I’m so HAPPY to hear all this because I upgraded my phone from an OLD iPhone 7 to a 15 Pro for this Christmas. I’m really satisfied with it and I hope to make 7-8 years like my previous phone. Congrats for your Porsche, you deserve it!
Bro my iphone 7 gave up 3 years ago your battery must have been screaming for help
Not gonna lie, finding out this was shot on an iPhone 15 Pro was impressive. More so than Apple's $500,000+ of camera gear to get their shots hahaha. As always thanks for this video, I just got my 15 Pro Max today, so this was useful! Thank you and Happy New Years! Also welcome to the 30's club, I hit it last year :P
they're shot on iphone
How do you like it and which color did you pick?
I think the iPhone 15 pro is the turning point where we getting diminishing returns in regards to performance and features. The A17 chip is power house and there isn’t any programs that really bottleneck the chip.
This was typed on a 15 pro max
Loved the comparison with Porsche 911. Still my favourite car to date over last 40 years and there is a reason it still sells so well
Gt3 my favorite if we’re talking about Porsche ZR1 for corvette Lambo SVJ for lambo Lexus LFA for Lexus Konegg Agera R for konegg Dodge demon for dodge You get the deal I could have 500 more cars 😂

Love longer term reviews. You get to see them after the bugs are fixed and it more represents what we as the users experience.
and more power to you on caseless. My phone is FOREVER getting knocked off tables and shelves. I need a case and screen protector.
they are more valuable than a short-review !
omg MKBHD liked my comment. I feel like it's October 3rd!!
Agreed
U need to one now on the pixel 8 (your mvp)/8 pro
Congratulations on the new ride! It is great watching you, Doug Demuro, etc. achieve your goals and dreams. It inspires us to do the same. As always, looking forward to the next one.
Now this is a review worth watching - with true daily user experience for quite a long period. 👍 Great job!
That close out “shot on iPhone” was actually pretty surprising, the things we can do with a little device from our pocket. Personally I use the different focal lengths all the time to get something just right, but I can understand someone not using it and just cropping in post.
I really appreciate that kind of detail in these videos - because I appreciate the devices capabilities a bit more, seeing what you can do with it. Now I'm sure they did a bit of post processing on the footage, but the quality is fantastic.
I thought it would have been cooler if he didn't say anything at all and to see who could point it out. I watched it from my monitor so I noticed it from the first frame, the background blur looked a bit distorted then I looked closer to the edges which is a dead giveaway for cinematic video.
It was very noticeably shot on iPhone
My comment was more in support of the “things we can do with a little device from our pocket” - obviously it won’t beat dedicated camera gear, but, the quality is fantastic and more than suitable for this type of content. I didn’t notice the quality to the level you are talking about, but that comes down to personal experience and devices you’re using to consume the content. I like that he announced it at the end, rather than the start, that it was shot on the iPhone, quite literally proving the point that for most, the hardware is great!
Yeah I was so surprised. I watched it on my mbp14 I did notice the highlights looked a bit strange, that was it.
I´m currently 27 and I´ve been watching your videos alongside LTT since 2013? Amazing a decade has gone by. You´ve done truly a quality and passionate work over the years. That studio, that car, phones, etc. Well deserved my friend, never change. HBD Marques :))
Wow u've really been watching Marques since the beginning
It’s true, there are other tech channels, but only one Marques. Never leaves me questioning if biases are present, just honest answers and reviews.
if only LTT kept up the same quality of content :P
LTT is a sellout, only ood channels are marques and mrwhosetheboss
man Linus not apologizing just drop the ball for me..
great review! soo many people try to be the first to review at launch of a new product but this is way more valuable. thanks !!!
I bought my 15 pro a few days ago and I’m having a hard time with the battery life 😭😭😭 It doesn’t last long 😢
Mine just okay 😂
Congrats with the new Turbo!
I hope is a manual 😅
@@JzpHenry if you actually knew anything about the car then you'd know that the Turbo doesnt come with a manual gearbox
@@hyypersonic im not claiming I know anything about the car, and its sad that it doesnt come with manual.
@@JzpHenryafaik the only new 911s that come in manual are the S/T,GT3, Carrera and GT3 Touring
A cadillac would have been better
I appreciate the Porsche 911 comparison so much as a car enthusiast. I’ve only had 4 iPhones (4s, 6s, XR, and now the regular 15), and I genuinely feel like they got it right. I’ll probably use this until the phone dies or by the time the IPhone 20 or something comes out. I can only imagine how good the Pro version of the 15 is, but it’s definitely a good phone to upgrade to if you’re into iPhones. Edit: I hope there’s an Autofocus on the new Porsche as well!
I’m gonna use my 13 mini until the death too, or they come out with a new small phone. I’ve already got the battery replaced once 😂
I also had an XR before my new phone! I have the Pro and it’s been really nice!
10, 15, 20, 25 and so on... 😂
@@sqlace3577 better 😂

Congratulations on the new ride! 🔥
Thanks for the review. My brother wants one, so I wanted to see if there were any issues with it.
I think they should have the journal app on iPads and MacBooks. I wouldn't use the journal app because typing on your phone is not the best.
currently what i’m waiting on as well
I tried it with dictation, but it just doesn’t work as good as typing. And typing longer stuff on the iPhone is somewhat annoying. So agree 💯
After losing half a year worth of notes in the stupid notes app because of a syncing bug, I don't trust any of Apple solutions ever again because everything relies on their damn i- services (of course). I love my max themselves, but all of my services are from third parties that I don't have to worry about Apple changes month to month. That was a ton of work notes and a bug lasted for like a year.
@@macfanguytyping on any phone is a health hazard.
Who mentioned a continuous noise in this video? It's really disturbing. If yes, click 'like' to bring it up, and please mark the issue so that it can be addressed and corrected in future videos.
Watching on the 15 pro. The only downside is the battery, it’s really lacking. Pro tip, if you use AirPods a lot, I have the action button set to switch between transparency and noise cancellation, it’s so easy and convenient
How did you program the shortcut?
Can you elaborate what you mean by lacking? like does It only last half a day when used at high brightness? asking for a friend.
@@mtrps_Depends on the usage. But the 15 Pro has the weakest battery life out of all the 15 models. I saw battery test videos of the vanilla 15 even beating the 15 Pro. The chip uses too much power that the 15 Pro's battery could not keep up. This explains why the vanilla 15 and 15 Plus lasts longer since they use the previous A16 chips. But again, this all depends on your usage.
Agreed. Battery is so terrible.
@@Gurenn83its not lacking, just isn't the best. Not like previous iPhone pro were much better. You get more or less the same as previous gen
Love that you shot on iPhone! I figured you would do it at some point. Pretty quick I thought something felt off...maybe it was the look of the depth of field or how it handled shadows or skin tones. In any case, great job production team! My guess is it takes a little more time/work to get lighting right in-camera before you shoot?
my 15 pro in titanium is coming today im excited. upgrading from regular 13
These long term reviews are more interesting actually. Would be great to see about other gadgets too.
Yeah, you're right, they feel more real
Okay... darn it! You mentioned that when Apple did it, maybe you would try the same, but you caught me off guard. The "entirely shot on iPhone" at the end was surprising! It totally looks like any other amazing production of yours!
Entirely shot on iPhone, but you could shoot it using another flagship and still look the same. Nowadays everything looks good because of production behind it, the editing and effects they add. So, it is not that special anymore.
Facts
This is simply not true. Iphone 15 pro lets you shoot in LOG format now which makes a big difference @@mentor_bajrami
@@mentor_bajrami lil bro be yapping like a salty ex 😂
Salty Android user LOL @@mentor_bajrami
what a flex with the Porsche! I hope to see a review of it on the second channel! looks beautiful
Definitely one of the best reviews I have seen in a while. Congratulations on the 911 !💥💥
Upgraded from my mini 13 that I loved. Was reluctant of the bigger size that I still wish there was a mini 15 pro option. But I’m surprised how much I enjoy the upgrade. Action button, screen, 120hz, and Dynamic Island make this phone a joy to use.
I ordered mine and will be upgrading from an 8plus. I’m so excited 😁
I upgraded from the 13 mini too went with the 15 pro since I don’t plan to update for a while, considering I was on the mini the battery life the Pro gives me is a nice change, I will miss my smaller phone though.
How good is your battery life? I upgraded from 11 and I feel the battery life I’m getting isn’t too pro-like.
How’d the Mini fare? I’ve been thinking about getting a backup Mini phone (I’ve never used minis before).
@@sharmaswastikDrain more than 11?
Massive props to apple for that level of video quality. Didn’t even notice the difference, and considering how perfect his camera quality is normally, that is very impressive
Coming from a 13 and getting my first pro thanks to this video. There's not really anything wrong with my 13, but I want better resell value and dynamic island. I started to get 15 base but it felt too similar to mine after comparisons, and I can finally afford a pro so I just went for it.
Great video there.. just upgraded from 7+ to 15 pro.. hoping it will be a great experience.
Marques Brownlee never seems to disappoint and ends a video with not just one but two curtain-droppers. Firstly, revealing his new Porsche 911 and secondly, impressing us even further that all of the footage was shot using the iPhone 15 Pro Max! Absolutely brilliant.👌👏
lmfao bro we get it
15 Pro*
Also he turned 30 that’s a pretty big deal too.
This looks like a comment an AI would write 😅
@@TechnoBacon55 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I wanna do longer term reviews" I wholeheartedly support that style of content cuz your style is on point
I upgraded from my iPhone 12 to the 15 Pro and felt guilty because I thought I should have waited a bit more. But now I feel better about it, and now I know I have a few things to learn about the camera. Its always a good advice to watch your videos!
I went from the 12pro to the 14pro max and felt guilty as the battery life was negligible and so was the screen. 13 pro max was the sweet spot. With time I felt better about my decision, and it definitely made the 15pro max not worth the cost as the 14 pro max is way good enough
Well, I was used to my iPhone 12 battery life which is not the greatest but yeah, I’ve read a few things about 15 models battery issues, but I just hope mine is okay 😅
How's the battery life with & without heavy usage?
I did the same, bought it yesterday
@@utkarshudaysingh7 I think good, it last the hole day and I have like 10-12 hours screen on usage.
Very informative to know about the screen changes and software update.
I could tell this wasn't the usual MKBHD camera but it's not bad as well. How impressive that phone tech has gone this far
Yeah, I instantly thought this video has a different look, but not worse
I just thought they were experimenting with different color grading 😅
Love all your gadget reviews; keep up the GREAT work (videos, editing, comments, information, comparisons, etc.,).
How’s 30 going dude? Love your work and commitment to the tech community. Keep doing your thing man!!
Congrats man!! - and thanks for the review ;) Greetings from Germany!
same
Really appreciate the detail and dedication towards covering every single feature. The part about spatial videos sounds interesting. Makes me look forward to how this tech evolves.
I’ve been using the 5x way more than I expected on my 15 Pro Max, the cameras in general are just incredible
How is the quality on 10x?

@@fofonablus7104 Funny guy hates apple or doesn't feel secure about his Samsung purchase... Good ol Apple living rent free on haters since 2007
hey so im wondering you think its worth it? i have the normal 11
I could never justify constant upgrading, but after listening to your reviews, I took a chance & chopped my Xs for the 15PM. No regrets, it’s brilliant. Thank you Marques.
Congrats on the car, looks amazing and you def deserve it with all the quality content youve made over the years!
I love the insights you gave for a longer time period with the phone. I find myself more and more curious about iPhones as time goes by. I also love the callback to the apple presentations of old "shot on the iPhone" scenario.
I didn’t expect much switching from the 12 pro to the 15 pro max since they’re both “pro” lineup phones but damn, I’ve fallen in love! This is the same magic I felt when switching from the 2016 MacBook Pro to the M2 MacBook Pro. Very impressed!
i’ve set up my action button to be a sort of super button with shortcuts in combination with an app called actions. the action button now runs different shortcuts depending on my device’s orientation! holding my phone upright portrait toggles the silent switch, rotate the phone 90 degrees to the left and it opens the camera, rotate the phone upside down portrait and it start music recognition, and finally rotating it once more so the action button is up top opens the camera to take a video.
You're a King 👑 Young man. And Happy Birthday and New Year 🎉
Thank you for doing this kind of review. Right when tech comes out reviews are great but after time reviews I really love they help me know what things are like after months and it’s all I want in a review!
the video is 10 minutes long bro
First look and full reviews are great! We can see what the hype is about but then see how it actually holds up after real world use.
Favorite part of your videos is that you are un-bias even when you get these opportunities(Apple Park visit, etc). We all appreciate ya. You represent us all on some level. Have a spectacular New Year and hope you had a great Christmas
Unbiased? He's practically a Apple/Google PR employee
un-biased? you sure?
Bruh being human is having bias, and no Apple Park Visits for any remotely negative views on Apple products.
Awesome video bro, just got to say all your videos are great. Are you a barca fan cos we seeing you rocking that jersey
OMFG. i just ordered a 15 pro. to hear you say THIS VIDEO was shot on it!! thats crazy! cant wait to get it.
hows your experience so far? especially regarding battery timing?
@@mengha2878 battery time is shorter than my 13 pro max to be expected but it lives for quite a long time long enoigh all day. Performs beautiful and is a decent size the size down took getting used to but its alright.
The turbo was the best surprise I have seen in a while. Congrats, I'm hoping to my find my way into a green manual gt3 in the future. This video looks incredible for being shot on an iphone. I would love to see some content on the process for getting it ready.
everything shot on iphone 15 pro - very impressive and something i didnt expect!
Great video!! Didn't expect that ending 🤯
Helpful review, as always
almost 15 years been silently watching you sir and you have been a spectacular all the way !! Nice work Marques
Great video as always Marques, thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning all the way until the end. Keep up the good work.
The 15 Pro Max has been an excellent upgrade for me so far. Got mine on launch day. This is my first time having a Max (though I did have a 7 Plus and went from it to a X). This is the first time my battery ever makes it a full day. I have never run out of battery yet. It’s great. 12 Pro and X and every phone before them all needed multiple rechargings every single day. I had to break the habit of randomly plugging in the charger while at my desk since I no longer need to. I always had to with the old phones because they always needed charge.
Man great review as always! I have to say that if you’re left handed like me the action button position is just perfect 🙌🏻
The longer term reviews are awesome, I typically don’t buy until a few months later so it’s very helpful to have an actual real world use case. See what hype feature works and what might not. Cheers.
I wanted the pro max, but decided to wait just because the durability tests were only solid for the regular pro. Always good to wait. I don't have a problem with waiting, so I'll get the 17 pro max if the issue is mostly solved. I'm sure it will be. (i hope lol, wanting to get rid of this s22 ultra really bad)
@@hobosnake1 You're right, but there will be other problems at 17. The next series will definitely have other issues so we can wait forever...for better phone
Gotta say your videos have been the best for making my decision to finally upgrade from my wife’s and my plain iPhone X’s to the 15 Pro for Christmas. What a leap! I’m so glad that 17.2 and then 17.2.1 were released becasue the battery life and heating issues were definitely there with the iOS loaded when we got them. They have been running great since upgrading. Still getting a handle on the camera features. As a 58 year old who’s vision is going down the drain the action button has been relegated to the flashlight. It’s just convenient. Thanks for your great content!👍
I've been rocking the same SE since 2020 and my 15 pro is otw from Costco- hearing you say this is an upgrade sweetspot phone was great to hear.
I finally upgraded to the 15 pro max in natural titanium from my iPhone XR which I have been using for the past 4.5 years. Can't wait to get on OLED 120 hz display and the better cameras. The natural titanium looks beautiful.
Happy birthday! I love you review man! In-depth, informed, passionate, and honest! Keep it up!
I'd love more long term reviews like this! So many phones are good at first, but really don't seem to withstand the test of time!
he only does this for the iPhone because they have that audience.
Google pixel 😢, now I want to switch back to iphone (15 pro)
@@tolulopeoyemakinde3068Google Pixel has been a consistently bad phone, the only good thing about it is the camera. Google really doesn't care about making a good phone
For me choosing a phone is quite simple. Gotta have an SDcard slot, simple as that. Cuz I sure don't wanna upload anything into any friggin' cloud out there located who knows where, and accessed by who knows who. :D
Feels like he barely reviews phones anymore other than like google, apple and samsung. i go to flossy carter he gives you lots of phone reviews of different brands and tells you later if the phones still good later with comparisons.
Bought mine 1 week ago… fully satisfied 😊 Upgraded from android to iPhone 😊
Would you mind sharing your camera settings when shooting this video please .. Love the channel 💪
I’ve found the camera to be one of the better uses of the action button as well. A little tip I’d like to recommend to all: Set the action button to a shortcut, which immediately reads the name of the network your phone is connected to. If the network name matches your Home’s Wi-Fi name, then have it run whatever function you want (I have it set to open my Apple TV remote) If the Network doesn’t match your home network’s name, then have it run another function (I have it set to open camera). Now you have an action button that elicits two functions, one for at home, one for away the house.
Can't you just make it check your location and have different functions for multiple different locations?
@@skylab8069 you could, and I’ve done this as well, however, I live on a golf course, and have found that my phone has difficulty pinpointing my exact location.
another tip you can set it to do a diffrent thing based off of your focus mode, location, app that is currently open, if you are next to your tesla you can set it to unlock it, who your on the phone with, what blutooth devise your connected to, and so much more
@@skylab8069you sure can, that would be ultra pro tip
Wow
your growth is incredible.. I can remember watching you on youtube back when I was looking into making a dual boot pc and you released a Hackintosh Pro video. Can't believe it's now 2024 - keep killing it man and thanks for everything.
i’ve got my action button connected to my flashlight. wayyy more helpful than I even imagined it’d be. I don’t have to look at my phone, and the flashlight will be on. 10/10 recommend. I personally don’t use my camera THAT much where I need it at the push of a button, so the lock screen shortcut is good enough for me.
focal length is about more than just the crop ratio btw. Notice for example how the "0.5" zoom has that fish-eye like effect/distortion- lenses with shorter focal lengths do exactly this. Conversely, longer focal length REDUCES the perspective distortion. I think for general population (/non-photographer population) it doesn't really matter or its not something they would notice
Congrats on the 911. I’ve been watching for years and years, & you panning up gave me goose bumps. Keep striving.
Amazing video! Love the production quality and it was shot on iPhone! Keep up the great content 😎
Appreciate this 3 month review Pretty cool 👍🏻👍🏻
This dynamic island pro tips was a blast i had a 14pro for a month and didnt even notice that
Upgraded from iPhone 12 to 15 Pro. Really happy with the Natural Titanium color, new cameras and USB C (I can charge my phone and laptop with the same cable!). However I keep the default focal length to 28mm (1.2x), because I like taking pictures of my food and the new main camera seems to have a slightly farther focal distance than my iPhone 12. So 1.2x forces me to hold the phone slightly farther away from my subject so that it is properly in focus (I tend to avoid macro mode cause the photos from the main camera is still much better than the wide angle used in macro mode)
I upgraded to the 15 pro from an X and I completely agree with your conclusions! I told myself I would not upgrade to the new iPhone until Apple added USB C, and I'm glad I followed through. Different camera modes are silly... just use the 1x and crop in post. Action button was very promising, but the placement isn't ideal (sometimes I briefly confuse it for the volume up, when I'm not looking at it), also different actions on the lockscreen vs homescreen would be a nice improvement. The dynamic island is a nice way to show ongoing notifications; it reminds me of Android's statusbar notification icons. The materials and construction of the phone is beautiful (except the thicc camera bump). I miss the sleekness of the X, but the new one is not too bad for a larger phone.
I think you don’t know what is optical zoom . If cropping a photo is solution , then why optical zoom option is given in mobile??
nice decision
you should've waited a bit longer, i heard that next year they gonna bring back the mute switch as well as move the action button to a less stupid spot
I'm pretty sure the 24/28/35mm "lenses" are just digital crops of the 1x main camera.
my previous phone was xs max and i also swore i wont upgrade until they bring usb-c on iphones and here we are!
I appreciate you filming the video with the phone you're reviewing.
what a timing! i was just thinking about taking the "plunge" too!
The reveal in the end that it was shot on the 15 Pro this entire time, masterfully timed. Crazy quality
This was amazing. I love these "after a while" reviews. Also loved that it was shot on the iPhone. Crazy.
Got my galaxy s10e 5.19.2019, still on it and I use to upgrade often. Headphone jack, expandable storage, compact size. I'm good. Save yourself some money and chill for a little bit if you can.
Congrats on the New porsche🎉
This is awesome. I hope we get more longer term reviews.
Just bought my 15 pro max yesterday but I feel like I’ve had it since the very release thanks to your videos !! Greetings from Medellin, col !!
As soon as this video started, I thought 'I wonder what camera Marques has used to film this?' - it looks fantastic. I wonder could you let us all know what kind of lighting you have behind the phone if any?? Many thanks in advance!!!
I bought the Max version and I absolutely love it and so glad I purchased it. It takes really good photos and amazing videos. The high frame rates and ability to use an external SD really make this phone as good as many hybrid cameras on the market. Definitely can’t replace a big Telephoto lens, or Fast lens that makes nice bokeh, but it is fantastic for what it is.
i upgraded from 11 to 15 pro this year and i am in love with this one, same color no case its amazing
The reason why you think the 15 pro is so amazing is because your waited 4 years to upgrade. Any new phone would have felt amazing. 😂😂😂
Battery?
I've had my 15 Pro since launch also and I absolutely love it. The past few iPhones we got several highlight features that I had been waiting for (blue color, 120Hz, Dynamic Island etc). This phone has all of those things on top of the new titanium build, USB C, and just feeling in general like the iPhone perfected. I plan to hang onto this one for a while.
Is 128gb enough or should i go for 256?
Same here. Only downside for me is that battery goes down a bit faster then on other models and Im not using action button at all. It has a lot of features, but Im not using most of them…
@@robi6713 I would highly recommend 256 at least. If you take a lot of photos and especially video 128GB isn't nearly enough to take full advantage of the phone.
@@HL-uw7fk I've had the opposite experience to be honest, I'm not a super heavy user but the battery life has been fantastic for me. I usually only charge it every other day (it gets small top ups in my car on the way to work). Agreed about the action button tho, I just have it set to the mute switch still lol
@@accordinglyryan haha yeah, but for sure best phone i’ve ever owned, by far. Love it.
BIG FleX! Congratz!
Wow amazing quality from the 15 pro. I have the 15 pro max and definitely love the camera 🔥🔥
