All these big YouTubers that can't even test things like speakers... Tells you something.

Appreciate you guys' commitment to testing everything.

Calling the 15pm “old” after 1 year is crazy 😂

[brewergamer]

I have the 15 Pro Max and I usually upgrade every year or every 2 years at least. This year I feel like my phone is perfectly fine and I have no need to upgrade. I had the same feeling when I had the 13 pro max vs the 14 pro max, I waited for the 15 and it was a bigger update.. it seems that every 2 years there are bigger improvements. Which lines up perfectly with carriers 24 month payment plans.

15 Pro Max is still my best daily driver for another several years and I'm happy with it.

[Teekly]

Upgraded from iPhone 11PM to 16PM, I absolutely love this phone

[Imprisoned]

I have 15PM, think I’ll wait for 17PM

[dr.eckhardschmidt]

There could be 1000 reasons to update from a 15 pro Max to a 16 pro Max - but none of theme is worth spending 1500 € again after just 1 year.

[dylan-msfy]

man I appreciate videos like these where most YouTubers don't get into. thank you

I have a new 16 Pro Max and discovered something I haven’t heard talked about much. I use dictation quite a bit and the new phone is far, far superior in its accuracy. I remember hearing something about a microphone upgrade even additional microphones in preparation for AI. I was wondering if during your teardown, you guys saw any of those microphones.

Maybe you’d like to test the microphone acuity basically give Siri a hearing test. I’ve never seen anybody do that. I’d love to see you guys give it a whirl.

[radcard]

I have the 13PM i think I’ll wait till 23PM 😂

So the 15 Pro Max when touted for AAA gaming wasn’t meant for AAA gaming at all.

Got my 16pm couple days ago and upgraded from 15pm. I think it was worth the upgrade. I’m into photography and the button on the side really helps that along with all the upgrades to camera systems. Also, I spend most of my free time on the phone so All the little upgrades to most are actually significant to me. The sound quality is noticeably better and the bigger screen along with bigger battery means more screen time to do all the things I do. Work and play. Plus, it noticeably recharges faster so it saves on time and convenient. I’m frugal in other areas of my life but when it comes to iPhones, I jump every upgrade because I have the means and also realized time is precious so I want to enjoy the best possible experience I can get from these little devices that I spend a lot of my time on. Little luxury like these is what makes the quality of my life better. So the point is, if One can afford it than Y not.

The sound is the biggest surprise… the mics and speakers are crazy

[MatthewVlossak]

Something that nobody talks about are the flashlights! Especially compared to the regular models. Would be interested in seeing this from you guys in the future.

[LostUndertheSky]

I think at minimum if people really want to upgrade coz they can, every 2 years should show some significant improvement. Upgrading every year just seems insignificant because tech has come a long way.

But i came from iPhone 11 to 15 pro max and that was a massive upgrade for me personally. Next iPhone I will buy will probably be an iPhone 18 or 19. Sticking to a 3-4 year upgrade cycle, but that’s just me.

Nothing wrong with upgrading every year especially if you can sell the previous model year iPhone and get cash towards the latest model.

[billymania]

For the first time ever, I'm not rolling over to the newer iPhone model. I'm sticking with my 15 Pro Max. I only do social media and a wee bit of productivity stuff.

[Mmacrossfirekenai]

The 15 Pro Series looks like it was a great buy.

[YourSpongeBoy]

16 pro max coming in on Monday. Coming from an 11 pro max, it’s a significant upgrade either way. If I had the 15, I would not upgrade

[thelookanchannel]

the reason you see fingerprints less is because you wore out the oleophobic coating on the 15 pro max. That's also why the 16 Pro Max is more shiny and reflective

[isira]

Lil bro is speed testing iPhone 16 with iOS 18 and iPhone 15 with iOS 18.1(beta)😂😂. Lame.. (Saw this details in the geekbench description)
