It’s crazy how in a matter of just a couple years the tech industry went from inviting zero YouTubers to these events, to Apple quoting Marques in the opening presentation about the MacBooks. That was really exciting to see!

[filmegitmedenonce]

For those who weren't there: During the event every youtuber/influencer was taking pictures and videos with Marques (including myself). Even when he was shooting his hands on video. He took his time for every single person who came up to him. Respect. As I said to him
"thank you for your videos"

[pleasantlindsey]

Probably the most honest and knowledgeable tech reviewer on the internet. For years.

[SilverSniperz]

The 1x, 1.2x, and 1.5x options are not meant to be for shooting in those “multiples” of 1x, if you notice in the settings they have their lens mm equivalent next to them. It’s for photographers who want to shoot at a specific lens size.

Looking forward to Apple quoting MKBHD during next product launch with:
"This probably won't make a real difference to most people... it's kind of a bummer."

[HeroSosh]

Thx for the video and coverage. Kinda a tech junkie so I like to check in and see what’s the latest and what’s changed among the newer versions of the phones.. having seemingly ‘just gotten’ my 13 promax, I can’t really justify getting another 1200+$ phone for awhile.: but it’s still good to see the latest developments in apps, QOL, chip performance etc

[GreenProd]

By the looks of it, the only difference for me (as a 14 pro max owner) is:
- the 5x telephoto (3x seems to work fine for me as I never really needed to zoom any further than that)
- usb C port
- screen brightness
- chip which probably isn’t even noticeably faster
- Titanium build
Probably more of a difference than the 13 pro to 14 pro had (from what a lot of people said wasn’t much at all), but still not justified imo. Great video btw.

They are saving Fast charging for iPhone 20.

[PandauxMusic]

To say the upgrades are incremental is an understatement at this stage. I honestly think we should collectively move to a 2 year upgrade cycle with new model releases.

[Makhdoom]

I like the assurance that the phone is on silent mode the old mute switch gives. I would have preferred Apple retaining the visible indication that the switch was on while implementing programmable functions

[aizoyurei]

I'm glad the 15 is cool piece of kit, but here in Japan the Pro is 250, 000 yen, which is over $2, 500. A grand more than the 14 Pro Max. Insane... I think the US prices are little more digestible, but we're talking high-end laptop prices over here. It's crazy...

Either way, Marques again coming through with the quality content!

[manlikeisaac]

I swear Apple makes billions from adding/changing nothing. And we always fall for it 🤣

[itsDesTV]

I just hate how they headline the USB C to be their main change but they leave out on so many features they could put in the phone just so they have areas of improvement for future phones.. its the same thing that NVIDIA did when Etherium was cut off. The 40 series cards magically became 60% better than previous. there had to be a reason to buy.. so dumb how we are in a choke hold

[roderman]

Great video! What I’m hearing is it’s a good upgrade from like a 12, but otherwise the same phone as in the last years… It’s sad that the “top” phone on the market is missing baseline features that the competitors have had for years: fast charging, USB3+ speeds, good battery life (assuming there is no major difference from my 14Pro). Been an Apple guy for 15 years now, but the only thing stopping me from switching now is the cost of switching & iOS/MacOS. I don’t see the added value anymore from the device.

[eddiemimic]

Great post. I’m so tired of reviewers acting like every new item is the best thing in the world and causing consumers to waste money. Thank you so much for being open and honest about the iPhone 15 Pro Max so now I can really decide if I even think it would be worth upgrading from a 13 Pro Max.

[kpandey]

You have no idea how happy it made me when they used your review in the keynote
Just made me realise how far you’ve come
Kudos man!

[little.prince]

So far, you’re the only YouTuber in my subscriptions that’s being realistic about this. The others feel like they’re still in the hype of getting invited to the event and blowing things out of proportion without even realising it.

[zackman]

I totally expected this from Apple. The next iPhone will have fast charging. Then the iPhone after that will have slow USB 3.0. They will upgrade the speeds slowly and act like they are making huge breakthroughs.

[FunkyDeleriousPriest]

Thanks for this review on the iPhone 15. USB-C is a big deal and one of the main factors for whether or not I'd switch. Lack of fast charging is a bizzare choice by Apple. Might be worth it if Google doesn't slow down with their surveillance/adtech shenanigans.

[RealLifeTech]

One of the most incremental updates ever. When USB-C is the headliner you know there's absolutely nothing else to talk about 🤷‍♂
