I prefer 15 pro max in most scenarios. I do not think I want to upgrade anymore

Nice video and much appreciated. I have the 15 promax and I’ve learned that moving up just one year is insignificant but still curious about the differences. Your video being one of the earliest gave me a chance to exhale a little bit now that I’ve seen how close they really really are. Once again, thank you. You have a friend in Columbus Ohio!

In some photos your skin tone is better in 15 Pro Max 😲

Best video on these iPhone cameras. Thank you!

Good review . Can you do one with iPhone 14 Pro vs 16 pro

Nice Video, Don't be misled by the colors in the photos; the important part is the technical aspect of the photography (the difference is imperceptible).

You can simply use a photo editor to make both images look completely identical.

15 Pro Max takes much better pictures, more natural and better face tone

[syyy]

Great comparison! But no big difference....just keep 15 pro.

[Acconda]

always good to se a photo comparison in 1440p lol

[BuluBiker]

in short, an upgrade from 15 pro Max is not worth it... I will change it next year.
I think this is why most of the popular Youtubers are not comparing the 16 pro max with the 15 pro max, instead they r comparing with the Samsung n other phones :)

16 looks better but they are so similar that i wouldn't upgrade if i had the 15 pro max.

[MarcoPolio]

I like your skintone on I phone 15 PM. I think people should skip 16 pm for this year and wait for 17 pm.

Yea i like how you can actually see the trees on the 16pro max. The 15pro max may be a little brighter but the 16pro max looks more realistic. Just my opinion.

[VadimID]

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but in first 3 photos I see that 16 has darker and more blurry image. Could be that the image is more natural and higher sharpness of 15 is post processing they disabled in 16, but that's what I immediately notice.

[theovincken]

I prefer the 15 pro max because the colors are more natural. You can see it the best on grass and on your skin. On the 16 pro max photos grass and trees looks too bright green and your skin looks too orange compared with the 15 pro max. It's interesting how you see it completely different than me. I saw it on more older models of the iPhone that the colors are too saturated. Apple exaggerates the colors and that's why I have a google pixel 7.

[theanointing]

The 16 is obviously less sharp, but how do I know it isn’t because you had a fingerprint smudge on the lens of the 16?

[kukilunbaite]

16pm balance is worth going for... time to upgrade my device

[walexey]

They look almost identical.
The colours and the contrast look slightly different, but other than that, nothing has changed, and to be honest I don't think there's a change for a significant change without making the sensors and the lenses notoriously bigger.

I really love how the new iPhone 16 Pro Max look 😍 I never been excited to upgrade. I still use my 13 Pro Max 📱

I also got the impression that the 16 pro max renders vertical structures more accurately, whereas the 15 pro max tends to give a slight tilt .
