iPhone 15 Pro vs 15 Pro Max After 25 Days - Don't Be Like Me...

iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Max Review (25 Days Later) - Don't be like me..

I bought the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 15 Pro to see if there was any possibility of switching back to a 6.7" device now that it's finally lighter than ever before. And while I found the 15 Pro to be a lot easier to use on a daily basis, the pros of the 15 Pro Max might have just outweighed the cons for the first time in years.

In this video, I review the iPhone 15 Pro Max vs the iPhone 15 Pro after nearly 1 month of usage, with a SIM card in each phone. We discuss the camera, battery life, performance, design, and much more. Enjoy!

Did you prefer the size of the Pro or Pro Max? 🤔

I went from a 13Pro to the 15Pro Max. I did it mainly for the 5x zoom and bigger battery, and I do not regret it. With a slim case it does not feel too big. It is definitely a bit taller than the 13Pro, but it doesn’t seem that much wider. No regrets and I’m loving it.

I decided to give my 15 promax to my wife and I traded in her 14 Pro Max and purchased the 15 Pro as well as an iPad mini. 6 perfect combo. My phone is small enough to fit in my pocket and still do a great job with content but then I can consume most of my content on the iPad mini.

I'm going for the iPhone 15 pro. I've noticed the smaller the phone the less I'll use it. I don't want to be glued to it. The pro also make it less cumbersome to handle such as running, texting, ect. It's easier to place it in smaller spaces such as car mounts and pockets. Yes it has a smaller battery, but I'll use it less too so it evens out.

[fracturedmind]

I tried the 15 Pro Max but I honestly could not manage it. I went back and exchanged it for the smaller 15 Pro and I’m honestly really happy. I love the smaller more pocketable size. I know I took a bit of a downgrade on the cameras. But I’m not a big photographer anyways and I find myself using the Ultra Wide more than the Tele camera. I don’t regret going back to the smaller phone. If I want a big screen, I’ll use my iPad.

I’ve always bought the basic/standard iPhone but finally this year I decided to treat myself to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and i’m loving it. Love your videos and how informative they are! 🤗

Seriously…I was OUT on the Pro Max thanks to the 12-14. THEN I picked up the 15 Pro Max and the changes were felt INSTANTLY. So much lighter in the hand, doesn’t cut into your hand/pinky thanks to the rounded edges, much less slippery thanks to the titanium. So…here I am back with the Pro Max 😂

I had the 14 Pro Max, it was too damn heavy and bulky, so when the 15s came out I ordered 15Pro but I couldn’t get past the small display. Then I went to the Apple Store and held the 15ProMax in my hands, it was love at first sight. I exchanged the Pro for the ProMax and I’m SO HAPPY, I love it 😍

The thing is, you always adjust easily to the smaller screen size with no issues but the large phone size will remind you every time you pick it up. I am (was) a Samsung guy and after 2 Galaxy Notes switched to a 6.1" S22. What a difference and relief. I have big hands but to take these things with you, especially in summer, can be a pain.

Thanks Brandon, I switched from the Pro Max to the Pro. I like it much better in the hand but miss the battery and display. You’re right the pro max has been much lighter this year.

[MrEcted]

I'm a normal Pro type of person and this time I tried the 15 Pro Max. Sorry to say, but I still couldn't hang. It definitely feels substantially lighter than PMs I've handled in the past, but I'm all about that one-handedness and I simply cannot achieve such on a PM. I do wish I had that battery life though, that's the biggest advantage imo.

I think something like a 6.3-6.4 would be absolutely perfect.

The 15 Pro Max may be lighter but it isn't any less bulky. I have the 15 Pro

I got my blue iPhone 15 Pro Max last week. Your array of videos helped me hit the ground running. It is a fantastic phone. I look forward to using the enhanced camera features on my cruise to Hawaii!

💥 after coming from the 11 Pro, I was hesitant and choosing the 15 Pro Max and at first I thought I made the wrong decision but I am so glad that I bought that phone. After one week of owning it I can’t even tell that it’s a bigger phone but I know that every time I’m on it I’m viewing a larger screen. The size increase is not that much.

[herb]

I've had the 13, 14 and now the 15 Pro Max and I wouldn't have any other phone. I LOVE the larger format and since I'v never held any phone one-handed, it makes no difference to me. Another nice and informative video, Brandon. 🙂

[gwyndyr]

Agreed on weight of pro max. The 15 no longer pulls my pants down to my hips. 😂

[Beanjuice]

It's the width for me ...I was excited when I saw rumors that the pro max was gonna be narrower but then I held one and it's pretty ridiculous how much wider this phone is...

[darrenjoe]

Just upgraded from 12 Pro max (Pacific Blue) to 15 Pro Max today (white titanium). Loving it. Keep up the great work Brandon.

[heelbeavans]

I went from the 13Pro Max 128GB to the 15Pro 256GB! I love it! Got tired of the weight and dropping it! The pro fits in my hands and pockets better too!

[LanceOzminski]

I have big hands. I’ve used the 12 PM, 13 PM, 14 PM, and now the 15 PM. Ever since I got my 12 PM I’ve used Back Tap for Control Center and Notification Center. It makes it so easy to get to those screens without having to reach the top of my iPhone. Even with big hands, one handed it’s difficult to reach the top
