iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max Review: Same Price, Impressive Upgrades

Apple gave its Pro models a glow-up with a refreshed lighter build, a new shortcut button, and the world's smallest processor -- all while managing to keep that tried-and-true iPhone aesthetic front and center. In my time reviewing both phones, I recorded videos of penguins swimming, played the console game Resident Evil Village on the 15 Pro, gave the 15 Pro Max's new zoom lens a spin atop a Ferris wheel in San Francisco, and tried, absentmindedly, to put a Lightning cable into the new USB-C port (old habits, am I right?).

The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are defined by their refinements and represent one of the most compelling releases from Apple in years.

I’m surprised so many people still aren’t using the swipe typing… even with it assuming the wrong word fairly often, it’s still a much better typing experience once you get used to it!

[Pattayaforever]

nobody talk about battery that's so funny

[mikedc]

The camera pics and vidoes make the phone an instant buy. If those pics aren't edited...hmm. might get the pro max

First Apple to finally get my attention. The Pro Max might just get me to maybe consider leaving the Galaxy. The verdict is still out, but it's looking promising.

Another great review Patrick. Thank you for posting.

Typical apple fanboy nonsense. It is a minor update on last years phone exactly the same as every new phone is. 
Don't get sucked into the marketing hype just:
Buy a phone
Use it till it dies
Then buy another

[HisMajesty]

Is it worth upgrading from the 12 Pro Max?

[alleng]

Ugh I won’t have my phone until October. I’ll have to play with it at BestBuy 😒😂

[Jameskeyz-umsb]

I love the 15 pro max but what is the price, sending from Nigeria.

[cinustephen]

Can you please do a photo comparison between the 15pro max 5x optical zoom against a 14 pro 5x digital zoom?
I have a 14pro and in good lighting, the 5x digital zoom is awesome.

[awesomeguyat]

Would It blow your mind if I told you could already use the volume button as a shutter button for the camera? Lol

[mahfah]

Finally an easier to understand review. Glad it was detailed and covered zoom capabilities. Liked

[Hexa]

I think it's worth upgrade from galaxy series forsure 😊

[amostiki]

Off topic - I love your Hawaiin shirt, where did you get it? Google lens didn’t help.

I am curious about the 15 pro's 3x vs 15 pro Max's 3x comparison. Since pro had a dedicated 3x telephoto will pro's 3x will be better than pro Max's 3x ?

When Apple invents something similar to Vibranium in the marvel verse and make a iphone with it I will really be impressed.

[csean]

Do all the reviewers get the same two colours?

[sladeparker]

Your reviews are spectacular year after year. Thanks for the great material sir

I would like to know what happens to the actual file output sizes if you are shooting in Apple ProRes Raw with the 48MP main camera and you change the focal length to 28mm, 35mm, or 48mm. Do you end up with a smaller Raw file when using those cropped focal lengths or do you still end up with the full sized 48MP Raw file?

Hey, everyone! Look! Apple just invented USB-C for your phone!!!
