iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Review

Hey everyone! Today I have my photographer's review of the new iPhone 15 Pro Max, specifically focusing on portrait photography. I share lots of straight out of camera photos at 100% crop so you can see the quality of each of the cameras in the 15 Pro Max. I also share unedited and edited versions of the photos. In today's video I'm also sharing 4K 60P video examples of the iPhone 15 PM as well as some vlogging tests towards the end and a microphone test.

Thank you for watching!

Great video! I agree about the 5x. I prefer having the 3x for an everyday zoom.

You can shoot 48MP without RAW. Hold down on the RAW toggle and 48MP HEIF is an option.

The 4K 60 at 5x zoom looks so good! I was really surprised. Everything else is standard Apple

[adamhlavin]

Great video. You should definitely try changing the profile from Apple ProRaw to Adobe in Lightroom - the "HDR" effect will disappear and the photo looks more like it's from a pro camera.

Hi, I am coming from the 11 pro and I must say, I absolutely hate the selfie camera and it surprises me that’s it of all the reviews I’ve watched, no one has spoken on this.

I guess apparently the thing I dislike has been around for a couple generations, but I’d love to get some info/opinions on this. I guess it’s the Deep Fusion/ hdr that I’m disliking. But it makes all my front pictures so cold, overly sharpened and washed out.

I compared a warm light I have in my room, with my 11 pro and 15th and it looks yellow from the 11 pro which is the undertone of it in real life, but with the 15 pro it looks like a bright white blue fluorescent light. Am I the only one that dislikes it so much? Or is no one talking about this just because it’s been like that for a while now?

Great video 😊 I wish they just improved the 3x tele instead. The 5x is cool but as you say in day to day circumstances I’m not using it much as it’s just too zoomed in.

@juliatrotti There was some blockiness - almost pixelation - on the sleeve of her jacket around 4:20-4:30. Is that from YouTube compression, or is that what the sensor generated? I feel like the iPhone camera crushes out the subtlety in skin tones. It's a really nice camera to have with you when you don't have your camera with you though!

The IPhone camera produces distorted photos. The nose and forehead are enlarged/disproportional. Everything else is fine, except the most important- the facial features are distorted. it’s never a good look and it doesn’t make a good portrait either. Thanks for another great professional video🌹

Were you in "action" mode when doing the video?

Awesome iPhone 📲 I am loving my iPhone 15 pro ❤

[OmarZ]

Awesome video as usual! I think the 5x zoom was the wrong move. I get they’re trying to “close on” on the competition like the S23 Ultra. But they should have provided a 3x and a 10x, just like Samsung does.
Don’t replace the 3x, add a fourth lens instead.

testing the ifoon 15 pro max
im just kiding i love the channel <3

[bsw]

Great video to see. Others will have you believe that this phone is at mirrorless camera level, but it's not even close

[beyonddigital]

Been waiting for your review to make a decision

[pavan]

I am a frequent traveler, i used to take heritage sites photos with a person in photo
What you suggest iphone 14 pro max or 15 pro max ?

[shedrick]

THE WHITE BACKGROUND WAS ANNOYING.. THATS WHY LIGHTROOM AND PHOTOSHOP HAVE GRAY OR BLACK BACKGROUND TO RELAX THE EYE OR TO FOCUS ON THAT PICTURE TO EDIT.. WE CANNOT SEE MUCH OF THE PHOTO SINCE THE WHITE IS VERY STRONG TO THE SCREEN... AND LASTLY WE DIDNT SEE YOU DO THE PORTRAIT MODE .. HEHE .. just saying im a fan of yours .. been watching your lenses/camera reviews

[freddybell]

It seems they still need to work on their shadow processing. Especially for faces.

[TECHNIKMM]

For the longest time I have been wondering what the woman behind you with her phone does in every single video of yours 😂

Waiting for the Pixel 8 Pro camera review now
