One of the best reviews I've seen, simple yet very detailed and precise.
You've always got the best reviews. No sensationalism and just facts, with your professional opinion sprinkled in where appropriate.
The information he gave in a previous video about changing the focal length from 26mm to 24mm was a game changer for me and I later confirmed how detrimental the change really is for faces, although better with landscapes, buildings and such.
Thank you. I will not be upgrading. Yours is the first review that clarified the upgrade choice with BS laid it out clearly. I have been obsessing about this as it will be the first year I do not upgrade and I am tempted every day. Your review was a blessing for me. Thanks again.
One of the most comprehensive reviews of the iPhone camera. Appreciate it 🙏
You're doing better dude, this what i want for the review, thanks man 🤝
Can’t wait every year to see your review 🎉 nice review as always , I will keep me 13PM one more year ..I feel that it has all that I need ..13PM is a beast ❤❤❤
I was literally waiting for this iphone review. It's about time man 🤝
I have the 14 pro max and have used it for cutaways and b cam shots for a year now. I've used it for everything, from bank commercials to hospitals and anything in-between. I absolutely love it and it has saved my butt on more than one occasion. But, ...this is what I've learned. You can only use the .5 or 1x lens and absolutely never use the sports mode or cinematic mood for anything. Sure, looking at it on the iPhone screen looks like a million bucks, but take my word for it, blow it up on a 27" i-mac screen while editing and you will see incredible amounts of garbage, gain and soft focus occur. The cinematic mode is almost comical how bad the faux depth of field looks. But as mentioned earlier stick with the .5 or 1x just using the auto stabilizer built into video mode and everything looks incredible, day and night difference. I look forward to getting the new 15 pro max for pro-res, which I'll ever never end up using.lol
Thanks again! You answered all my questions!
not just the rounded edges actually makes it more vulnerable its also because the titanium is very hard and the glass is sensitive for the pressure, as well that they built the back of the phone differently the back glass has no metal against it as previous model did have for example.
How does that fair in real life terms?
My 14pm 100% battery health after 8 months, battery last all day and more with normal use. Usually upgrade every year but will wait until the 16.
The best comparison ever seen, honest and to the point with tangible examples, well done!
The External Recording is a super tip🙏🙏👏
Superb review. Some very specific use cases that I didn't find elsewhere.
never see any huge result than this channel. thanks brother
Always appreciate your unbiased reviews. Rare these days to find people who answer to a higher power and don't kowtow to brands.
MKBHD, Unbox Therapy, SSniperwolf, Mrwhosetheboss, Supersaf, all shills and biased af.
@@darthraider450or maybe they really like those products 🤷
This was extremely thorough. Excellent review. You just talked me into upgrading because im a content creator. Thanks a lot!
Good point on the focal distance on the cameras. Got bothered by it after upgrading from the 12 Pro to the 14 Pro and was an added hassle when scanning barcodes like in MyFitnessPal. Was hoping they’d fix it or made it better on the 15 Pros but sadly they didn’t as what you showed here. Also appreciate how you showed the footage in ProRes log here. There is indeed a difference compared to shooting with the standard recording. Will still upgrade to the 15 Pro Max coming from the 14 Pro and will probably stay on it for a while till we receive better upgrades especially with the cameras. Thanks for your review on it in a filmmaker standpoint! :)
yes me too, cant focus the camera while scanning the bar codes and id
Good point which is why I'm choosing to stay with my 12 pro and will wait for the 2024 or 2025 and consider upgrading then.
@@ozarkpipertony8396is this issue on the 13 pro/ pro max?
Sure... sounds like ur definitely gonna buy the 16 pro
I’m looking forward to the 5X camera coming to the standard size 16 Pro next year
Great Review, Parker.... as always
I will keep my 14 pro for 4 years and upgrade. For me there is no major upgrades from year to year
Would you reccomend 14 pro/pro max? Just sold my old 11 pro max and looking for 14/15 but 15 got some issues with the overheat etc
@@atias3840 Go for the pro models. Better cameras, 120hz screen and more. Just the 120hz for me is a must
Same but prob 2 or 3 years for me
I still have the 12 pro max and probably won’t upgrade to the 15 till the 16 comes out. My phone is still working perfectly. Battery still lasts me 2 days before I have to charge it. Only issue is the speaker is not as clear as it used to be to be, has crackling when turned up past 3/4. And I like my music but earbuds are usually in when im listening to music so really it’s not even a big deal to me.
@@Znew07 even my 14 pro won’t last all day, but i do a heavy use of it anyways
Very good video content. Stayed straight with the facts and did not extra marketing.
Uncle Parkers review on iPhone 15 is what I've been waiting for 😍
I'm here for you
Excellent video! Good training!!
Excellent review sir. Answered my questions will be holding on to my 14 pro max for now.
Excellent review, thank for making decision easy. Good job
Parker Walbeck is back!
Just got mine pro blue titanium. I am upgrading from 12 Mini and i am verry verry happy about everything
Thanks for your honest and informative presentation. I was on the fence about an up grade from the 14 pro max to the 15 pro max. Besides , I haven’t quite mastered the 14 pro max iteration of the I Phone. The learning curve is a constant !
I’ll keep my 14 pro max and will look to upgrade this year to the 16 🔥
12:30 There is a misunderstanding. You can shoot in 4k 60fps Apple Log only when you plug in ssd. But you don't have to shoot in 4k 60fps to record in external ssd. You can shoot Apple Log externally in other fps also.
Thanks for your unbiased opinion. Very thorough and spot on!
Love your videos brother always watch your learning so much soon I will buy your film corsac because I'm want to start KZhead channel
Mehh, this ain't it for me. I'll wait till next year and use my 12 Pro in the meantime. Always the best unbiased reviews from ya, Parker!
Such a great in-depth video! Love it! Thank you
Great review! Hope you can one day do another review of using the Pro Max's camera with the new Blackmagic iOS camera app 🤠
I think the gap between the 24mm lens and the 120mm equivalent lens on the Pro Max is ridiculous. We basically get massive digital cropping in between those lenses. No one even seems to know what happens at say 100mm. Does it crop the binned 48MP sensor 4x or does it crop the 12MP 120mm lens sensor by 20?
Bruh talking about 100mm This lens is not present and according to your question, it crops main camera to 4x . And if you want to use 120mm lens then you have to go 5x ,5.1x or so on. But it is advised to not zoom rather capture the photo and then crop
Miss your videos Parker! Hope you're doing well
Watched a lot of videos on this phone and the white balance tip was new! Solid. Apple is going harder on the pro features! Seems like we don't need a separate app now. Digging the lighter weight and usbc on this phone mostly
Thank you for the comparison 🧡
Love your little one's hairstyle 🥰 Anyways I think I'm sticking to my 13 pro max for another year... still runs smooth
straight to the point
I would love to see a comparison between the iphone and the Sony Experia ❤
Thanks for the excellent review! Is it possible cu record a non-PreRes video (normal 4K60p) directly on an external SSD?
I don't know how to feel about phone upgrades. It seems like they're soon gonna destroy the professional cameras industry. It's kinda funny yet sad watching people rig up their iPhone 15's with cinema rigs realizing that that may be the future. But anyways, love the review Parker, like always, best content out there. Keep up the great work. I think you should do an iPhone 15 vs your Canon C70 video. Like this comment if you want that video out!
I can't think of any professional that will ditch their gear for iPhone only.
@@Turbojugend27 yea but 6 years from now that just might be the case
Man i am in love with my iphone 14 pro max. I upgraded from the 13 pro max bc the 14 pro max got a brighter screen (2000nits) dynamic island which is actually pretty awesome, and louder speakers. I didnt recieve one single downgraded going from 13 pro max to 14 pro mac other than the 14 pro max havin a slighty worse battery. If i go to the iphone 15 pro max, I lose my mute switch? Hell no, not yet lol. I love apples iconic mute switch. Every video i have seen shows the iphone 15 pro max being way easier to break compared to 14 pro max. the screen didnt get better or brighter........and the new usbc port is apparently slow and outdated, ima stick with the 14 pro max. Ill wait for first time ever lol. i usually always upgrade but i might hold onto 14 pro max for a while, i love that mute switch lol.
Thank you. I was trying to see if I wanted to get the 14pm or the 15pm. I have a 13 pro. I think I found my answer.. thank you😂
I upgraded from the 14 pro max to the iPhone 15 pro max and it feels quicker, cell connectivity is better and if holding most of the day like me ,you do notice the weight is lighter especially with no case on it. Apple car play wireless seems more stable also. Everything else seems the same and I don’t really use the 5x zoom. Action button is cool but no big deal. Also the usbc charger is cool but again no big deal as I don’t upload large files. For me it was worth the update as I’m a heavy user and love tech . For a normal person probably not.
@@kpperry784exactly, because it also still weights only 20 grams less than the 14 pro max so doubt he can notice that tiny difference. Also the 15 on daily usage is not that much more powerful (and still has LTPO 1-120hz). It has more brightness and the wireless not doesn't cap at 600mbps but goes to full wifi6 1200mbps but aside from that,i doubt anyone will notice that on daily usage, we know because we know the specs but today... The only noticeable difference will be on ios17 for background upload finally coming to IOS, but still he didn't noticed that... So yeah. 100% PLACEBO
Does it have overheating issues?
That’s my other account but never has
Do you purchase the one with a single physical sim, I purchased a dual sim and there were a lot of signal issues
@@joshinkuriakose2870 single sim in Australia but you can also add esims and it’s working well
Muy objetivo. No suena a propaganda como otros canales. Excelente información.
gracias amigo por el apoyo!
Good review I prefer what I have. Not planning on upgrading anything soon. Can someone tell me why IPhone video recording don’t have the option to pause a vid the resume where you left off..? Maybe then I’ll upgrade. 🤦🏽♀️
Shoot. I found a deal on a new iPhone 14 Pro and “upgraded” from my 13 pro. I honestly don’t really see the difference aside from getting used to Dynamic Island
When you're so early the 4K option isn't even available yet :')
Same
I dont even see the 1080p version. stuck with 360p
Rhinoshields are THE TRUTH! I've used them for years. I dropped my Samsung down 15ft drop down a sewer in DC during Halloween. Was able to get the phone 5 days later and it still worked. I'm loyal for life for sure! Lol
First time i watch your channel, I like your way in putting everything together but you should write in the title should I upgrade because of camera because thats the most subject you focus about. For example: this year battery life is better and etc
I really appreciate your honesty All the other tech guys drool over this like it’s the best thing since sliced bread!! No need to get this if you have a 12,13,or 14 Not hardly enough difference to spend another 1300 dollars on
I think I'm just going to get the 14 pro max, rocking the 12.
Same thing. I have a 13 so I will just get the 14 pro max cause it’s stronger
@@tineyijames 👍
I just upgraded from 12 Pro Max to 14 Pro Max. I think it was a wise decision taking into account how I use my device.
@@pareshbarot999 👍
Me myself decided to get 14 promax because its cheaper and solid phone for 4 years. I have 0 regrets since I wanted 15 pro but 14 pro max cost the same but with a bigger screen and top camera still. I was ready for the 15 pro but so much issue right now and when I held 15 promax I was sold on a bigger screen
Where did you purchase your 14 pro max?
They are the same screen size!
Hey, I just sold my 11 pro max so would you really reccomend the 14? Im also not sure about the 15 with the overheating issues and higher price
@@user-kk3qg5el1m I live in Sweden so the store still had some few left. Thats why i manage to get one
@@MustafaS-tw3qg NO they are not. 15 pro is 6.1 while 14 pro max is 6.8. I guess you didn´t understand I took a bigger phone but with the same price.
The upgrade was big in terms of SoC, the gpu had a big upgrade and the cpu have a big enough one with also better power consumption.
Upgrading from a 14 Pro Max to a 15 Pro Max 🤡…….I’ll definitely pass. The difference isn’t big or ground-breaking enough in any shape, form or fashion. It never is in this case scenario.
so helpful, thanks!
The best review I have seen so far 👏
thank you for this video bc I am having a hard time making up my mind. I currently have and make content with my iphone 13 pro max but i wanted to upgrade to the 15 pro max my sister has the 14 and she says it isn’t worth it just get a 14 pro max 😩 still in between but this video helped immensely 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you thank you !
Thank you for your review. You helped me with switching from android to iPhone. I will be purchasing the iPhone Pro 15 Max.
Ip14 pm is by far best iphone till date. Upgraded to 15pm after 2 weeks of use switched back to 14pm
it's not. the 15pm is the best iPhone till date!
@@lambertj.2892nope
@@lambertj.2892 choice.. in my personal experience 14pm has superior built quality.
@@lambertj.2892no the 14 pro max is way better
Maybe it’s in my head but I really feel like I can feel the difference in the width of the phone. It feels much better in the hand smaller and much lighter. I love my 15 Pro Max. I know there aren’t many differences this year but I just live how it feels 😍
Omggg me too!!! Much lighter!!!! And comfortable!!! Not to mention ..it looks amazing my natural titanium
Honestly no point of upgrading this generation if you own a 14, 13 or even the 12 at this point unless you got extra cash laying around or desperate to have USBC or 5x zoom, since the 14, 13, and 12 are still great phones. I upgraded from the 11 which I felt could of lasted 1 more year at most, but didn't want to pay for a battery replacement.
We need a comparison between this phone and the new google pixel 8
Man…..I’m upgrading from the 12Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max….i had forgotten about the 48mp 🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Overall I think it is better then my 12, I guess I just have to deal with the fact I’m never gonna have a 2.5x lens again.
Great video. I'm an Android guy, so makes me chuckle while also feeling sorry for my iPhone friends when nothing significant changes each year and 10-year-old technology is introduced as innovative. Love the review!
6 months after, battery life will be 90%, not worth the money.
As an ex Android that switched to iPhone 4 years ago, I feel sorry for my Android friends, everybody I know that switched to iPhone never went back to android, so don't feel sorry for us :)
I was an Android user and my first Iphone is 14PM from the expensive price tag and overheating issues my phone is only 10 months old and battery health is at 90% not a heavy user Kind of disappointed Never had this kind of problems with Samsung In the positive side with Iphones is that the software is more smooth refined Today was looking at Samsung S23 Ultra with a sweet discount $800 trading my 14PM People who know nothing they are just fans always attack people with real information
Im still and always will be android. Got a 22 ultra and still have my note 10+. I'm just lookin for a third phone because my wife talks about her apple phone and it's shitty but hey. Simple because the ecosystem is why I'm here
@@RAGEdredd So you have an iphone?
Buddy i am using iphone xs max , planning to migrate 14 pro max or 15 pro max, what is your suggestion
If my 13PM had a type c,i’d keep replacing its batteries each two years.This phone is a beast.
Love from kashmir bro please make a complete video how to use it for taking best videos like filmaking as ur previous video the dslr vs i phone 14pro please make this year also the full camera gear vs i phone 15pro max it will be so much nice let me know if u will make it i would love to check it out
Love these indepth comparison videos
I’m looking to go from a regular 13 to a 14 or 15 pro max. I’m looking to make my phone my main camera until I can get a Digital camera. Would you advise an upgrade to the 14 or 15? 👀
please create a battle vid using iphone and professional camera
It’s not even just the rounded edges that’s makes the 15 pro susceptible to breaking. And the from screen is still pretty strong based on the drop test videos. The back is more likely to break because they mad the back easier to remove so it cheaper to repair. So there’s a trade off there. Also drop test videos aren’t realistic. Like who’s gonna bend their phone with that much force or drop a phone from that high. Seriously?? And who’s gonna drop their phone multiple times in a row consecutively that’ll weaken the frame quicker. To be fair the claims being made about the fragility of the phone is just nonsense.
damn, i have a Samsung S10, i was planning on upgrading my phone to an iphone 15 this year but it seems that it sucks. why pay over 1k for it?
Parker, thanks for telling the truth about Apple anomalies. Cheers brother.
The durability issue is probably caused by Apple using a new building style for back plate. It makes the phone more repairable, but less durable. You can even test yourself, if you have a 15 pro and 14/13/12 pro, gently knock on the back glass. 15 pro makes a more of a hollow noise.
The new IPhone 15 Pro Max is great. Looking forward to get mine soon, although I have my iPhone 14 Pro Max
I still rock the iPhone 6s. All I care about is battery life and maybe the screen when considering upgrading. I have a pro camera for photography and video so I'd rather spend the $1500 on camera gear or my computer rather then a telephone. LOL.
Then don’t watch 😂
Maybe ive not been paying attention, but thanks for mentioning that 48MP RAW does not capture dpth of f...
If you're coming from 12 series then it's a good reason to upgrade, if you're from 13 to 14 then there's not a need to upgrade since it's almost the same in performance in real life every day task to be honest
I got the iphone pro max 15 for the spatial camera so i can play on the vision pro VR when it comes out.
Great review buddy , Dr Ali from Pakistan♥️
How are you capturing audio with this video? Thank you! In order to get good audio, I always have to use my Canon XA50 with Senheiser G4 series audio plugged in via XLR cable.
360p gang here
I was JUST gonna ask lol
Is it a valid question to ask why?
😂
Really? In 2023
@@amstudio1166well some countries have slow and limited GB quota per subscriptions. Paying $ 8.10 usd for cable DSL and maxing out 3mb/s is insane for 250gb plan. So you're forced to manage your Internet usage.

I have the 13 pm want to give it to my daughter and I’m seriously thinking of getting the 14 pm instead of the 15pm
So you are very happy w 14 pro max? I’m thinking bout getting it
@@billyslasercreations very happy. Was on a 12. I have 120h & great battery great display. Pretty Great.
Hey Parker! Great review! Do you think it's worth upgrading from the 13Pro? We do use the iPhone sometimes to create online content for social/web although, like you, we have Netflix approved gear. And we do use Log in all our other workflow. Thank you for your thoughts!
😊😮⁹
Worth it actually! I was this hesitant from my 13 Pro to 14 Pro, still liked it, but the 15 Pro is great.
Still rocking with the 11 pro 😅 its still great
@@tedlessor3887 that was still my favorite
Hi. Thanks for the video. You said 48mp shots don't save the depth data, why is that? Did you just mean for jpeg but it saves it for raw? I've got the iPhone 13. Would you recommend me upgrading to 14 pro max or 15 pro max?
My camera lens is scratched to crap because the protective lens broke. Apple quoted me at $500 as the whole back will need replaced at that point I was like screwit and and going to upgrade, plus my AirPods case is usb-c
I have an iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 12. Was waiting for Apple to make a new version with round edges. But I guess it won’t happen 😬
Great take on this. BTW -- Your kids are adorable!
The iPhone 16 is gonna have apple lenses lol. Sony,Nikon & Canon is punching the air right now
Let me ask you this then should people upgrade to the 15 if they have the iPhone 14 Pro Max
Is it worth “upgrading” from an 8+ to a 15? I can make/receive phone calls/text messages/emails. I can even take photos, perhaps not as high a quality, but is that quality worth $1300+? If I want photos I’ll use my D850.
Trading in your phone would bring the cost down significantly. It’s definitely a leap in generations and you would be thoroughly surprised at the quality of life changes from the 8 to the 15. And if you keep good care of your phones, and don’t care to upgrade often, you wouldn’t need to upgrade for another 7+ years.
I have the 12 pro max, should I get the 14 pro max or 15 pro max?🤔
Guys i am gonna be upgrading from a midrange andriod phone what do you think i should upgrade to Iphone 15 PM or Iphone 14 PM??
i have an iphone se 1st gen, do yall think i should upgrade to the 15 or wait another year?
