What if I'm upgrading from Samsung Note 20 to iPhone 15?
Upgrading from iPhone 13 Pro Max
Upgraded from the iPhone X to the 15 Pro Max. Great stuff, but if you have no intentions to use more than 128 GB of storage, just get a normal 15 or an 14 for that matter. Especially the 15 Plus is really astonishing concerning screen-on-time.
iPhone 12 to 15 Pro Max
Thank you Andrew Garfield for making this video
Lmao
He lit looks like him
😂😂😂
The only reason why i opened the comment section
aint nobody spending $65 for a case
Oh
I noticed that one month ago. It's just only marketing. Spigen Liquir Air the best and the slimmest like you don't feel you hold a phone - just only 15$..
Ur just broke just say it
@@jadenhill4710 ok but $65.
@@jadenhill4710 note: casetify is being sued because they were stealing designs from other people (who sold the cases cheaper too so they were literally ripping off people for the branding)
Just upgraded from my Gen1 SE, after 7.5 years of use and opted for the 15pro. Hoping to get a similar usage out of the new phone. It’s a huge upgrade and I’m happy with the purchase although I miss the small formfactor of the SE. Thank god (or whatever) for „reachability“
Omg, how was that even doable? The battery on that thing is tiny.
@@guy5282 quite honestly it was a pain in the arse. The battery issue was manageable with a power bank and charging while at work but in the past 6 months I’ve had issues connecting to wifi networks and some apps got really glitchy.
@@guy5282simple, some people don’t spend all day on their phone
Fair play, upgraded to an 11 from a 1st gen SE and that felt like a massive jump… just upgraded again to a 15 pro and the change isn’t as noticeable day to day tbh
I upgraded my Xs Max to the 15. I would have kept my Xs max if it wasn't for the phone over heating to the point it was radiating my hands. My index finger still hurts from 3 weeks ago when I was using it at peak hours here in NYC. The 15 is a big improvement but the XS otherwise was still a good phone for my type of usage.
I'm using Android but still watching this video 😅
Me too😭😭
Me too
I understand
I promise u the moment u use an iphone for more than a week you will never go back
😂😂
Yesss I've been awiting for this. Thank you!
I'm personally upgrading from an iPhone XR to a 15 Pro. The XR is definitely a great phone, however it's been slowing down a lot for me lately.
battery changed costs less than a new phone , if software feels that new battery juice your cpu speeds come back as it new
@@cristianJoker2512 XR doesnt have 3 cameras you skill issue
I’m going from 12pro max to 15pro max for the 120hz, Dynamic Island, more storage and a lighter phone
@@Simptendo Upgraded to the 15 pro. definitely worth it, hope you like your new phone! The Dynamic Island is really neat, can’t wait to see what they do with it in the future
@@Errorz_ I agree there! Main reason I waited till the 15 pro was when I heard the rumors of the Blue color and I always get the blue color when it’s available, I got the 12 pro in Pacific blue and now getting the 15 pro in Blue titanium. I watch a lot of content too so the 120hz display will be a nice upgrade!
Four minor mistakes: iPhone 13 Pro has 1000 nits brightness (like 14&15 Pros) while 12 shows 625 nits in manual adjustment, 12 Pros started at 128GB storage, Xr only has 3GB RAM
13 pro has lower brightness than both the 14 pro and 15 pro.
The 14 and 15 pros have 2000 nits.
14 pro has 2,000 nits
@@fijiwill2237without direct sunlight they stop at 1000 nits
Correct, outdoor brightness is lower in 13 Pro than 14&15 Pro, but see that I mentioned it on manual brightness only: You cannot get 2000 nits brightness on 14&15 Pro without turning on auto-brightness, 1000 nits is the best you can get (15, 14&15 Pro) from manually adjusting from control center.
Gotta respect the hustle to make and post these videos in a short time frame!
Tons of hard-work from my team behind the scenes 🙏🏻
I upgraded from the XR to the 15PM and the difference is huge, no regrets at all!
How are you finding the pro max? To me 6.7 is not comfortable, 6.1 feels much much better
That must feel amazing lol. I was surprised how solid 11 Pro to 13 Pro has been😅 From my 6s to 11 Pro was definitely bigger tho
I have XR also. How do you feel about? 194-> 221g weight difference and 6.1 -> 6.7 size difference. Also 120hz. I’m thinking about buying 15PM.
Any heat issues? Also feelings on durability?
@@procoding_ninjago for it
Hey, thanks for the video and I think you’re correct on pretty much what you said but I’ll be keeping my green iPhone 13 mini for another year as I downloaded iOS 17 and it’s running great on the phone so I don’t think it’s worth an upgrade right now I’m sure they’ll be some cool features and the 15 but
I'm very happy with my purple iPhone 14 Pro. I don't see the need of upgrading for several years!
Wish i got that instead of a 12 pro max
This is honestly one of the most helpful videos on KZhead right now. I am now on XS and looking for an upgrade and it really helped me to choose a new phone in the future. Keep up the good work guys.
What's your pick?
@@nicholascherry8804 normal iPhone 15, not Pro. I don't need the fast transfer speeds, or the additional telephoto camera and I'm going to wear the phone in a case, so the design doesn't matter to me much. the Pro version has nothing to offer me. 15 seems like a great phone for the price honestly.
This is one of the best videos you’ve put out in a long time
Upgraded from Xr to 15 Pro Blue titanium. Great upgrade all round. Love it! Also upgraded my partner’s iPhone from an SE2 to iPhone 15 green. Happy days😀
What about the battery? Is fine? I am planning to get one 15 pro but I read some reviews about it and a lot of people are saying that the battery is bad. As my actual phone is one iphone 12, probably the battery will be a way better than my actual phone
My experience is great with the battery on the 15 pro. I did a full charge from zero 3 days ago and got 41 hours before a recharge (with light use).
@@jamieconway7382 that is really good.
Hi Jamie, are you facing any heating issues?
@@magician121089non whatsoever
upgraded to a iPhone 15 Pro Max from my base iPhone 11, feels like I went from the Flintstones to the Jetsons 🤣. Had a 6s before I got my 11 so im reliving going through that all over again. hope to have this phone until the 19 or 20 comes out.
The kind of video I always wanted to see but never got to. Thanks. It might have taken a lot of time and effort to put this together.
Updated my XS to iOS 7 and had loads of problems. Restored it from a backup and it’s working better than ever. Just need a new battery and I’m good for another couple of years. Will probably wait for the 16 to come out and then get a 15.
Brilliant video format!
Your videos are informative and helpful ❤
I have the upgrade program with Apple & am going from the 14 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max. Looking forward to the new camera. Can you report on some of the new 15 phones becoming extremely hot to touch. Thanks for another great video.
I currently use a iPhone 6S Plus, I am quadriplegic and don't have any use of my hands, and have to rely solely on voice control when using the iPhone. I am trying to decide which iPhone to upgrade to, speed of the processor is most important to me. Which model would you suggest for me, just a curveball, should I consider getting a new iPad (I currently don't have an iPad) instead of a iPhone… I live in South Africa and all Apple products are frighteningly expensive, because of the exchange rate, our currency is 19:1 to the US dollar…! Thanks for your great videos and channel…! 😎
Thanks for the videos Daniel, coming from 12 mini and my 15 blue pro arrived and very happy as it’s perfect size for the hand as I was holding onto the mini for dear life in one handed texting
thank you for this video andrew
This video is amazing! Thank you for making this. 😊
Video lighting and colours looks stunning ❤
Great video, thanks for this. Upgrading from an Xs Max to 15 Pro Max. Gonna miss 3D touch...
Just upgraded from my iPhone Xs to the iPhone 15 pro. That’s such a massive upgrade and worthy upgrade. Twice higher megapixel camera, wide angle lens, superb lowlight photography, 8 gigs of ram, better gaming, 5G and usb-c port.
The camera angles are insane and the editing is on point road to 2 million subs lets go
🙌🏻
Exactly the video I needed. I’m switching from the Xs to the 15 pro 🎉
Hey...I love your wallpaperz app .. is it possible you could add more nature related theme in there? My favourite one's curious cosmos btw😊
I upgraded from SE 2 (2020) to 14 pro. No need to buy the latest since I got a sweet discount. Big upgrade since I focus on creating content for social media.
I was thinking of upgrading from the normal 11 to the 13 pro max, but apparently Apple discontinued those as well as 14 pro max and now they only produce the Pro and Pro Max versions on iPhone 15. Any recomendations? I was thinking 14 plus
I ordered the 15 Pro Max 1t from my 12 Pro Max. Can’t wait to get it.
Love this! So detailed. I needed this so much as I have an XS Max and I’ve been trying to decide which phone to get for an upgrade this year
This video is amazing! Thank you for making this.
I love how u included older models. thinking upgrading from 11PM
Thank you for a very informative video, i was looking forward to this since I have been struggling which iphone to buy for a practical price. And your video helped❤😊
I recently upgraded from the 11 Pro to a 15 Pro.. because my 11 pro got stuck in a boot loop where the logic board failed. Loved that phone but have to say, this phone has been a huge improvement!
Love how your now using wallpaperz for the wallpapers (lol) in the video
Them wallpapers 🔥
Thanks for this video! 🎉
is overheating an issue with the pro models?
This guy works so respect
Love my X but it’s time to upgrade. I’ve chosen my Casetify case - just have to get the 15 pro or pro max! Thanks for your excellent videos I may continue to watch them after I’ve found a phone!
I’m currently rocking my iPhone 12 which I loved for 3 years. Since my work laptop is now 120hz my phone is bothering me so I ordered the 15PM. Hopefully worth the upgrade!
Came from a XS to now a 15 Pro Max man I’m glad I waited 👏🏽
Amazing comparison🙏🏻👍🏻
Upgraded from the iPhone 12 to the 15 pro max, huge difference for me, and the all day battery life is truly amazing
Currently using XS. Really appreciate the camera of my current phone and apart from battery life there seems no issue. Although now I may need to switch to other phone. Would prefer a pro model 15, but due to issues related to durability and heating, I am considering 15. Should I wait another year for the next one? Any suggestions are welcome.
Wait to see if issues get resolved. If not wait a year. Don’t waste your money on a non 120hz refresh rate screen in 2023. Base model iPhones are junk
I glad you exist buddy
Great video Daniel! Love the comparisons with the older phones. Also, it must have been very time consuming to edit!
I’ve used an iPhone X since it came out and it’s basically been re used by me many time over lol so i finally decided time for an upgrade. Ordered the 15 pro but it’s sold out everywhere so won’t receive it for another 3 weeks. Hopefully it’ll be great!
I’m still using a iPhone XS, and debating on going to a iPhone 15 Pro, it’s the first iPhone I felt was worth considering upgrading too, skipped the 11-14 didn’t see any real reason to upgrade to them. But I’m still on the fence about it cause I don’t use very often most of the features that get the most upgrade, and I don’t find my current phone to be slow, let alone slow enough to warrant the price of the new one. But some features of the display, USB-C, MagSafe, are tempting.
Upgrading today from the 11 to the 15!
Do you recommend upgrade from regular 13 to 15 or wait till next year for 16 model?
Ginormous update for me coming from a XS. I can’t wait to see what is in store in 3-4 years.
Thanks Daniel for the breakdown of the older iphones vs the 15 series.I am currently considering to upgrade to the iphone 15 or the 15 plus from the iphone 11, some reviews mention that the regular iphone 15 cameras are really good
I know! And I have 1 lightning charger as I’ve lost most of mine but I have plenty of USB-C chargers due to computers and other Bluetooth devices
Very well made 👏🏼👏🏼
Def keeping my 14 pro max! But always nice to see whats been changed.
One topic that could be covered in future videos is software support XS and XR are on their last year (or 2 if lucky) of iOS support
i have an iphone se (2020) and im thinking of upgrading to an iphone 15 pro. do you think it would be worth it or just keep my current phone until next year?
Great video, this is the real information you need. Now mobile contracts are now 2/3 years long most people aren’t upgrading from last years model. 👍🏽 I’m finally upgrading to 15 Pro from my 11😅
I’m also looking to change from the 11
Love this video cant wait for the iphone 16 version 😅
Thanks for including the XS!
I've loved my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and just haven't really seen a need to upgrade, until now. I use my iPhone for videography work, and the camera upgrades are what really got my attention. I almost bit the carrot, with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but it just wasn't enough, to justify the expense. The iPhone 15 Pro Max checks pretty much all the boxes. I like the fact it's lighter, although I'm not a big fan of the reduced drop protection, for the titanium case edge. But I've always used a protective case, so I doubt it'll be a huge issue. Even if it is, I have AT&T protection, so if it ever happens, all I'm out is the $100 replacement fee. Looks like I'll be satisfied with this upgrade.
What an amazing video! 👏🏻👏🏻 I’m glad to watch this! Thank you, mate!!
Upgraded from an iPhone 11 I got in 2020 to a 15 pro yesterday! It’s amazing!
Hi Andrew Garfield. I upgraded from an X! lol
Amazing video. I love how you were inclusive of each full body generational lineup. I currently have an 11. I would definitely upgrade no doubt but I’m not in any financial situation to be looking at new phones right now. Plus none pf the current iPhones meet my minimum requirements so I’m still waiting for that golden model. I’ve had my 11 for 3 years now. Will hopefully be able to upgrade in 2-3 years from now. iOS 16-17 has taken a real toll on older devices. Less noticeable on newer models but definitely not as performant as say iOS 12 or 15. Apple needs to get back on top of the software game. Battery life for me is horrid. Average 3-4 SOT 4;30 hours max with 85% battery health. Although I don’t really believe apples estimate to be accurate. Feels more like 79%. Doubt I’ll be able to regain that original 6;45 Hours SOT even with a new battery. Can say I’m super disappointed that out of all iPhones, apple decided to give the XR/11 such a subpar display compared to its predecessors. Makes no sense to me and is quite a blatant rip-off. Honestly the 11 is still holding on but it’s definitely showing its age now. Doesn’t even get the new iOS 17 keyboard cuz the neural engine isn’t powerful enough apparently. 😢😒😮💨 Also, you got the RAM spec for the base 15’a incorrect. It’s still 6GB unfortunately.
I have an 11 pro max and I’m currently saving up for a new phone, but I whole heartedly cannot decide between a 15 pro max, and airpod pro 2’s, or a Samsung s23 ultra with the galaxy bud pro 2’s
@@reececlarke2623just upgrade from apple to apple for seemless transition.
Honestly I’ve had my iPhone 15pm for abt 2 months now, and I absolutely LOVE IT. Coming from the base 13 model and never having own a pro of any kind, I have been wildly impressed and extremely satisfied with my recent upgrade!
I finally decided to upgrade to a pro phone (15 pm) to be exact. Coming from the base 13 model. I would always have to upgrade 2-3 years, but now, I feel that I wouldn’t have to for 4-5 years.
i have a regular 13 and the most appealing things making me want to get a 15 plus is bigger screen, better camera (my sensor cracked) , and the dynamic island is pretty cool. and i have funds to do so
Upgrading from XS Max 512 GB to 15 Pro Max 1 TB and looking forward to see the changes.
I think you shouldn’t give us the info about the storage but we got you
I'm upgrading to the iPhone 15 Pro from the iPhone 12 Pro. Will I be able to feel a big difference you think?
I’m using a iPhone 8 would it be smart to upgrade to a 13 mini
Will probably be waiting for the 16 pro max to come out but will be upgrading from the 13 Pro since I just got it last year
Still happy with my 11 pro max.. changed the battery only once till now 😇
The iPhone 14 pro and promax have been discontinued. I’ve also heard rumours that the iPhone 15 pro and promax get too hot to the points where you can’t hold them. Is this true?
have a 12 mini i got in spring 2021, i mean its allright, the battery life is suffering but with how much even the regular 15 128gb costs i might just replace the battery and keep it for however long they decide to keep it updated, not a heavy user anyways
15 Plus looks like an excellent phone and I’m sure I’d like the upgrade over my XR. Doesn’t unfold into a tablet though, and I don’t have the pocket space to fit both an iPhone and an iPad Mini, so I don’t plan to get an iPhone this time
I’m looking to upgrade my iPhone 11. I just want a larger screen and more storage. What do you recommend?
I'm thinking of upgrading to the 15 Pro Max from my XS Max. Still deciding on which color to get
Should I upgrade from the 14 Pro to the 15 Pro Max? Also, is 256GB enough? And, which color between Natural Titanium and White Titanium would you choose? Or instead, should I get 13 Pro brand new from parallel importer 3rd party store? Currently, I have the iPhone 14 Pro Space Black 256GB which has scrolling stuttering, battery life is bad, it has lags in the Camera app and some games and overheating issues.
You should not, it’s not much of a difference, I suggest wait for the 16 or even more years
Sell your phone and upgrade why not. I'm a huge apple fan and its almost a hobby to buy apple products.
I have the 12. I'm just weighing the size issue with getting the Pro Max... Thanks for the info.
Great comparison 🎉
upgrading from an iphone 7 to iphone 15 pro 💀💀💀
I upgraded from a 7 to an 8 now I’m using a 14 now imma just wait till the iPhone 18 to upgrade
i want to upgrade to the 15 plus from the 11, but i dont know if its worth it
just upgraded from the 5c HUGE improvements!!!!!!!!!!
How does the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Stand at this point if you have a 12? I just wanted the dynamic island.
Thank you so much for this in depth comparison, I have the XS max and I am thinking of getting the 15pro max,. I would love a video focused on the cameras of the xs max and 15 pro. I love the xs max images it creates true colour and all, I am afraid to change and be let down by the image quality of the images.
Get the 14 pro max it is better than 15 pro max I have both XS max and I bought the 14 pro max last three months
no
@@Tinyzkid lol What do you know you are just a kid hahah
I recently upgraded from se 1st gen to xs. I want to exchange the xs for a se 2022. Does it make sense?
Although my 11 pro is getting outdated it still works well and probably gonna keep for a year or two more.
I have a 13 pro and happily will keep it for now
I’m still going to keep my 256g iPhone 11 Pro. It’s been great and I love the form factor. I might upgrade to the 13 pro in the future because it still has the sim tray
Upgraded from a 128gb 13 Mini to a 256gb 15. Loving the bigger screen although I really loved the size of the 13 Mini to start off with. Also loving the black colour on the 15, and finally USB-C!
Yeah, I’ve got a iPhone 13 mini also when I thought about upgrading but after I downloaded iOS 17 and it’s been running great I think I’ll wait another year as I just don’t know if I want to go back to caring a little mini iPad in my pocket at least that’s what the bigger phones feel like now after having the minibut I get it all the best. Enjoy your new phone.
Thanks. I had an 11 before the 13 Mini. I hated the 11. Too chunky and heavy for me. But the 15 is lighter and narrower than the 11 and only 31 grams heavier than the 13 Mini. I’m really enjoying it.
@@jiminybillybob9751 hey man sorry I wasn't trying to give you the business I totally understand I stopped at the Apple store and looked at the regular iPhone 15 and it's a nice phone and you're right it's light. If it had a physical sim I'd be really tempted but I really enjoy having an iPhone and then I also have an Android phone I use on occasions cuz I have a Samsung computer. I'm not hoping but if my 13 mini was to break or something was to happen to it I would probably buy the 15
I have been using 12 mini since 3 years. 15 is tempting me to upgrade. Main reason to buy mini was the size. I hope I can resist for another year atleast before switching to a bigger iphone
15 only slow usb-c…only pros get normal speeds with it. Nice one apple.
good work bro .....big fan from sudan
From iPhone XS should I upgrade to 15 pro or I wait for the 16 ?
