Should I Buy the iPhone 15 Pro Max or wait for the iPhone 16? Let's discuss that!
iPhone 15 pro max alin
Try something pixel like experience phone like Motorola, try it , and tell us about how they perform, I mean Motorola
Try Motorola, pixel like experience , slightly lower price, tell us about those kind of devices
Can you help me Should i wait and buy the new air pods pro 3 ( may be coming in jan ) or buy 2nd generation I prefer silicon tip for my ears , as non silicon are loose fit for me. I want to upgrade phone and ear pods simultaneously and with lates model.
15 pro max
My 12 Pro Max refuses to die. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know that’s right 😂
😂
phones don't die, if u replace the battery and the software it's still supported it will hold as long as u hold it 😂
To be honest it so foolish to change your phone every year, you won’t feel any changes at all i call it fixing some issues thats all.
i’m on an 8 😂
15 pro is a keeper for me bc it is probably the smallest flagship we're ever gonna get as they are getting bigger and bigger.
I got the 15 pro max, why wait for the next one? Next one comes then people say wait for the next one, it’s a never ending story every year 🤷♂️
My Xr is still standing like a warrior after around 5 years of use, it never had any damages or issues except the fact that the battery is pretty old it's on 79% battery health, but now i got a job and bought a laptop that i study on and do some of the stuff i used to do on my phone i don't even use it that much
Great video keep it up as always brother
Upgrades from X to 15 Pro. Don’t need a new phone every one or two years. Waist of natural resources and money.
Rogers in Canada has deals on the iPhone 15 since March 1st. Half price on monthly device fee when leasing. I scored a 15PM 3 weeks ago 😊
I’ll keep my 13 Pro Max … No problems 🤷♂️
There is nothing wrong with that it is still a fine phone
It's not fine, it's a great phone by today's standards. Still a beast in Video recording. The battery might be in fine category tho. It's still a Flagship level phone! Planned of buying a 13PM in offline stores from Dubai but couldn't do so as the phone was out of stock. So bought OnePlus 12R instead.
@rrrr3666 the iPhone 13 pro max has better battery life than even the iPhone 15 pro max so it's still flagship battery life it's on par with the s24 ultra
@@Shan_Shah But according to Mrwhosetheboss and Technicks testing, 15 Pro Max has much better battery life. Initially it was below 13PM, but after some updates, it's hours ahead. Also OnePlus 12R and OnePlus 12, Vivo X100Pro have much better batterylife than iPhone 15PM, S24Ultra.
@@Shan_Shah I mean, even S24Ultra isn't in flagship category for batterylife anymore. And yeah, S24ULTRA and 15PM have much better battery than 13PM .
I'd say wait for 16 at this point. We're only about 5 months way now and I have a feeling the 16 pro is going to offer major refinements like better cooling and battery life.
I hope so. I don't need a faster processor if battery life isn't all there. I value efficiency.
Honestly I don't want to be the guinea pig buying the first phone with new cooling features. I'd rather have the 17 pro max so they can fix whatever complaints everyone has about the 16, because knowing Apple they're going to get something wrong.
@@theNimboo your choice. I just think if Apple does big internal improvements to battery life this year, they’re gonna fall back down on the 17s like they did on the 13 and 14
excellent video ❤
There will always be a better phone... Just get what you want now 😊
2160p, finally👏👏👏👏
Got mine last sunday. I upgraded from an 11 to 15PM and its a huge upgrade for me
Thinking about getting the 15PM this week. How’s it holding up?
Love my iPhone 13 Pro ; it’s the perfect size!
See, this was my dilemma. I just got my 15 Pro Max last week bcs I really needed a new phone as I was upgrading from a 6.5-year-old iPhone X. Now that this video comes out, I'm really questioning my decision.
I have the 12 pro and looking to update onto the 16 pro on December.
Good video
I have the 13pro and usually when I change my phone I give it to my wife who now has an Xs...so I will definitely make the switch and get the 16pro.
A very balanced discussion. Subbed.
Welcome to the channel!
Wow 2160p60 videos 🔥
8 plus. Can’t stand the notch/ island. Might have to upgrade tho. Phone/ apps are slowing down
Awesome device ❤
I've upgraded last month from 12 Pro Max. Not sure why I did it tbh, 12 PM was still blazing fast with 86% battery life. I think 4 years is a decent time for upgradin iPhones
Iphone 16 is coming out but I'm still loving my Iphone 8 Plus. Lol. I have owned every generation of Iphone up to the Iphone 8 and the 8 Plus has run the absolute best for my wife and I. No dropped calls, always gets reception and wifi and less glitches than any other model Iphone we've had in the past.... which is the main reason we have not upgraded! Apple has dialed back the battery life bigtime this past year though and our phones seldom make it through an entire day without being charged a little.
Can't wait to see a speed test video for Samsung galaxy S23+ vs S24+ please 🎉
You can get a decent refurbished 15 pro max here in the uk £900 for a 512 or £1049 for a 1tb they be brand new tho
I’m still rocking the 13 pro
Just got my 15 pro max yesterday
How is it going for you?
Love my 15 Pro Max! Smoothest iPhone experience ever. From the display to the cameras to the overall performance, this is a phone I can definitely count on for the next few years. The A17 Pro chip delivers amazing speed and fluidity with whatever tasks are being thrown at it. I’m sure that most of the new iOS 18 AI features will be available to this device save a few that will most likely involve the upgraded cameras on the 16 series. Apple gives these devices up to 5 years of backward compatibility so the 15 series will continue to be relevant for quite some time. Overall, thrilled with the 15 PM!
Hi, so i had an iphone 11 but i siwtched temporally to a samsung galaxy s8 because i broke the iphone display, i am really wondering to buy the iphone 15 pro max the next month maybe or wait for the newer devices to drop and then choose between the 15 pro max or the 16 pro max, maybe the 15 pro max would drop a little bit the price after the 16 drops, anyway, feel free to give me an advice on what should i do, thaks in advance.
Gonna wait for the 16 pro max was ready to shell out £500 for the oneplus 12
Thanks. I think i will wait for ip 16 pm
My iphone 13 has a shattered back and has started slowing down alot, should i go for the 15 pm or wait for the 16?
I say get the 15 pro for a stack then sell it for $700-900 when September rolls out the 16 pro max or ultra an get that rolling, that’s what I’m doing
Got the smaller pro 128GB for £788+£250 credit in Apple store.For now is okay,willtrade in when the 16 pro comes...
My pro iPhone13pro max top speaker just started crackling - debating to wait or get the 15pro max
Buy the 16 later because of the Wi-Fi 7 upgrade that will make the 16 last a lifetime, in terms of future proofing… Though the 15 pro with 6e will also last just as long for the average person but if you’re rich & upgrade your Wi-Fi, wait for the 16
My iPhone 11pro max is dead … battery was dead and now I cracked the whole screen .. half touchscreen is not working … I’m apple fun . I have MacBook Pro 15’ and iPad 12.9 M1 … I saw the new s24 ultra but still think that I’m going for the iPhone 15 pro … I don’t want the max version I have my tablet for a big screen and work … I want something powerful but not so big … waiting for the 16 … hm… I don’t think so .. even if I’m waiting for it , when it comes in one year will spawn the 17 one …. I think that the 15 pro have specs that easily can run for the next 5 years without any problem .. what do you think nick ?
Nice video
I have the 15 pro max and 15 plus. I would always tell people to get the 15 plus. The battery life is much better on the plus and the pictures are the same.
Got the 15pm a couple weeks ago, upgraded from an xs. i love the 120hz, 60hz looks disgusting now
Using iPhone 14 Pro didn’t upgrade this year, waiting for 16 series
I have a 14 pro max, I’m looking forward to the 16 pro max. Not sure IF I’ll upgrade though.
id wait for the 17/18 for the non dynamic island design
Got mine 15 pro max yesterday love it haven’t had a iPhone since the 11 pro max
Is it worth it or should I wait? I’m currently on 11 pro max.
@@lokendersrivastavaI love it but I feel like the 16 is like 4 months away you could wait until the 16 or just get the 15 but it’s your choice but I love this phone a lot
My iPhone 6s is still kicking it. However, the one - two hour battery life is getting old. Also, a lot of Internet sites can’t load up on my phone.
My iPhone 13 is having trouble charging from its port so I have to use those station chargers now
I have a 14 Pro Max and I’m hoping to hold out until the 17 Pro Max!
I would need for Apple to release a full satcom phone for me to 100% switch to the 16 Pro Max. Android 15 developer notes show satellite connectivity options, so i think its a matter of time before this whole satcom phone wars kicks off. Exciting times, foldables arent the next big thing, its satcom enabled phones.
Do yall think we might get a different color? It’s around the time they release the current flagship in green most of the time
Thank you for this video, Nick! I wish you 1M subscribers soon! 🙂
Thank you too!
@@nickackermanchannel You are most welcome! :)
Did you ever feel 15PM to be heavy when using for long periods of time? I’m coming from a S22 Plus (25g lighter) and I’m still trying to get use to the weight 3 weeks later. Also, I have no heat issues since I bought this 3 weeks ago, manufactured in December.
Weight? Yes sometimes especially if I am rocking a heavy case with it, but not much once I get used to it. What I do find is that it is quite wide for optimal comfort but so is the S24 Ultra. Heat issues were fixed a while back they were just a launch issue! Thanks for sharing your feedback, I plan to compare with S24 Plus soon and will pay attention to that concern
@@nickackermanchannel yes the 15PM is wider than the S24 Plus my husband has which also makes it feel more awkward to use one handed. When I pick up my husbands phone I always wish my 15PM weighed just as light, his feels like a father compared to mine, 25g makes a big difference apparently 😝 I’m looking to get the 17 pro if they end up increasing it to 6.3. I feel that is the perfect size for me.
i just got my 13 PM battery replacement at apple store plus its paid off😭
I bought my 11 promax brand new and I did not upgrade until the 15 promax so I’m probably gonna be that long again before I update my telephone and I love my 15 promax
I would wait for iPhone 21
Yeah, they’ll probably have real upgrades by then.
@@jedolivier2688 yeah I hope Samsung and other companies, too
@@jedolivier2688lol, yeah. Apple release the 12 version 4 and call it the 15 for isheep. Same design and user interface.
They just increased the price on the 15 pro max I don't personally believe they will do a price hike 2 years in a row that I think would hurt sales. Apple also pays attention to the cost of things, inflation all that stuff when they set pricing.
7 Reasons to ignore the iPhone 16 series & wait for next year's iPhone 17: (1) Under display face ID & all-screen experience with no notch on iPhone 17 pro models (2) Enormous Gigantic Displays bigger than the 16 series (3) 120Hz Pro Motion Refresh Rate & AOD on the non-pro 17s (4) WiFi 7 Chipsets on the 17 Pro Models for fastest WiFi speeds (5) All iPhone 17 models shall come up with anti-reflective, scratch-resistant displays (6) 24MP Selfie Camera on all models but 48MP telephoto lens on the Pro Models (7) Thunderbolt USB-C Ports on the iPhone 17 Pro Models SKIP THE 16 & AWAIT THE 17 SERIES🤟
Thanks for sharing your take on the 17, as always the odd number iPhones are the great ones 11,13,15,17.
@@nickackermanchannel You're most welcome
@@nickackermanchannel I agree, thats why I'm thinking I get the 15 upgrading from my 12 pro max
@nickackermanchannel the iPhone x was great the 6s was great the 4s was great when it came out but ended up to become the worst iPhone because of receiving ios 8 & 9 the hardware wasn't there with 512MB ram it couldn't handle it.
@@Shan_Shah well to be fair the XS fixed the x problems, and the 4s, and the 6s were 's' years, so they fall in the "odd" year category and I truly believe all the odd years were the best. XS, 11, 7PLUS, 6S, 4S, 13, 15, thats why I'm tempted to get that 15 this year!! I have the 12 pro max and it's alright.
Just picked up my 15 pro max and plan on holding on to it for a year or two
A year or 2? You’re set for the next 10 years.
@@meathead207I wouldn’t say 10 years but at least 4-5
Can you do a video about ecosystem?
Will consider it thanks for sharing
Upgraded to 15 Pro Max from iPhone 3GS. Ultimate upgrade ever lol
Still rocking my 12pro max. Ios 15. Just problem with battery health . 76%
I had the Apple Store put a new battery in mine.
On 14 pro will replace Battery in when iPhone 17 comes nd buy iPhone 18 pro max
I’m keeping my new iPhone 14 that just upgraded from my iPhone 8 Plus
wait for the 16
I’m using the 14 pro max still 🎉
Still rocking 13PM and I am gonna stick to it til 16pm
I mean, the 13 Pro Max isn’t old at all. People are still buying that phone.
@@glusur76 correct. It’s price is still up there. Though there are deals you can land.
Will see what the 16 pro max looks like in terms of features as I do want to go pro max after this base 15.
Why are you not happy with the base 15?
@@MissSmurfey I'm very happy don't get me wrong but that pro max experience is calling me.
@@keenan6993 I have had the 15PM for 3 weeks now and it is nice but I am still trying to get use to the weight of it.
How many hours i can expect on iphone 15 pro if i do 3 hours of gaming and 3 hours of YT and 2 hours of watching movies
I have 14 pro max is it good?
They should give 120 hz a cross very i phone before i would even think of charging to ios
Some of the criticisms with respect to any of these premium phones sounds more like art critiques.
Before buying the 15 pm last december, my first choice was the 13 pm as i like the design and battery life. Thinking about future updates and upgraded iPhone, I decided to get the 15 pm because😂 of the type c capability. Just bought my wife a 14pm last year and I don’t like it.
so how is ur 15 pm
@@user-jn5zp5it1cits just like an iphone 14 pm with type c capability and slightly lighter. 😅
@@Marksilog but should i buy it if i come from a low end android and i want a new iphone
I’ve brought the 15 pro max so won’t be updating to the 16 pro max
Wait IMO
My mind tells me that if you are looking to upgrade and a new phone version is gonna release in 5-7 months, then you might as well wait for the next version due to refinements
Maybe 7+ month 5 months is still closer to recent model
I think they should keep the island. Make it smaller but also not just the camera other wise it would look like a Samsung.
Until they optimize iOS 18 or later to utilize the screen for split screen multitasking, I’ll never buy a Pro Max for battery or screen real estate alone, the size doesn’t out weigh pocket-ability 👊🏼
Still rocking the iPhone 14 Pro. Though I am thinking about the usb-c. 🤔
Bro I would wait for at least for the iPhone 17. It would be a waste of money to upgrade your iPhone 14 Pro.
I just bought IPhone 15 plus 3 days ago ,i love it ❤, i dont like 15 prm so i bought 15 plus
Nick Dose iPhone 16 has 4ghz cpu just curious?
I don't like pictures taking from my 15 pro max but 4k 60fps is the best
I bought 2 iphone 15 pro max’s for filmmaking
hope they wont update the screen only😅
The thing with phones- you can wait a newer, better model, forever, really, because every new phone is only fresh for a year and every next phone is guaranteed to be a bit brighter, a bit more powerful etc and whats a year anyway? not a big wait imo xD
i have a very old phone and im looking to upgrade this year should i wait or should i buy the 15 ?
15 pro user here and it has been amazing for me, had it since launch day
Wait. The 16 might offer some real upgrades over the iphone 12 ver. 4.
I've been using the iPhone 13 Pro Max since its release. I considered purchasing the 15 Pro Max, but decided to just wait for the 16 Pro Max. It’s worth the wait.
I'm keeping I phone 14pro max
I am going to buy 15 plus very soon nd iam very excited for it :)
Don’t you think you should add a little money and get the pro max and enjoy the pro feel ❤

6.9 screen for a phone is insane. I carry a purse but how would guys fit them in their pockets? 😮 I have the 15PM but if they do increase the pros for 16 and 17 (when I upgrade) I’ll grab the pro which is rumoured to be 6.3, perfect size IMO.
people are getting bigger too with fat fingers and deep pockets to match their waistlines,its for them.

Im happy with my 13 pro but i ll upgrade if 16 have fast charging 😂
whatever be going in your mind regarding a phone, Nick will have a video on his channel with answers! i always refer his channel whenever its time to change the phone.
Awesome! Glad I could help when that information is needed!
Had the iPhone 13 pro max, best phone Apple put out. Currently have the iPhone 15 pro max , still think the iPhone 13 Pro max is better!
I'm still using Iphone 13 Pro Max and waiting for the Iphone 16 Pro Max ❤
It is foolish to change the phone every year, I didn’t notice any major improvement. Really i start to notice a difference every 3 years but if Your pocket can afford to spend the price of a new phone annually so its ok to go for it.
Hope they shrink the notch more
i hope it will only have a punch hole in next generation
13 Mini here…I want a 16 Mini…PLEASE!
Personally, I'd rather buy the regular pro unless there's a noticeable difference in battery life
Should I trade in to 15 Pro Max or wait for 16 Pro Max? And which pro model should I choose next time? Currently unhappy with my 14 Pro with 89% battery health after a year with buggy experience with stuttering.
Rumours has it the 16 pro will be 6.3 in and pro max 6.9 in.
@@MissSmurfey Ok, thanks! But I heard the 16 Pros aren’t gonna offer much changes from the 15 Pros. Also, if you compare, the latest odd-numbered pro iPhones were better than the even-numbered iPhones in terms of product quality and experience, software stability, and battery life. (11P, 13P, 15P > 12P & 14P). Do you think it matters too?
@@satxrnhimself what phone are you using now?
@@MissSmurfey iPhone 14 Pro. But as I mentioned before I’m not enjoying it because of the issues I described before (really poor battery life, 89% after a year, and stuttering while scrolling or using the Home Screen). Factory reset and start as new didn’t help and Apple employer didn’t want to replace it to another 14 Pro because he said that he couldn’t find the issues. Now, my 1-Year warranty has expired last month. I debate between: 1. Sell/trade in the 14 Pro and get the 15 Pro Max. 2. Wait for the 16 Pro Max. 3. Get a cheaper and refurbished 13 Pro from Swappa website. What would you choose to do in my situation? Thanks.
