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." -
I have a 14 Pro. Stupidly, I was quietly hoping Apple would bring out something that made me really want to upgrade to something shinier. But the progress is still iterative and safe. I know Samsung’s risks sometimes send them flying off the road, but at least they show that “courage” Apple keeps talking about.
-
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.
-
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.
-
While USB 2.0 specification has a 480 Mbit/s max speed, the spec does not require the implementing chip to be capable of transferring at that speed. The iPod I bought in 2004 supported USB 2.0, but when measured, it only supported 15 Mbit/s, way below the max theoretical speed for the spec. So yes, it also supported FireWire, but only for marketing purposes.

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" -
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
-
Magnification options like 1.2x might be an optics offset for those using lens attachments to avoid vignetting
-
I think I will stick with my 14 pro max for now. I usually only upgrade if there’s a big speed or battery upgrade or if the camera is much better. Right now I don’t see anything being a bigger upgrade over the phone I currently have. Thank you for for the great review as always!!
-
I upgraded earlier this year to the iPhone 14 pro max purple and I love it. It’s nice to see all the new features especially USB-C but for now I’m good with my 14 pro max. It’ll be nice to see how IOS 17 will work with my phone.
-
As per usual, another good video. Also the Anker stuff is looking pretty legit, their small charging block is awesome!
-
The 1.2 makes sense to me; it restores the old 28mm focal length that some prefer over the slightly distorted 24mm focal length
-
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!
-
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.
-
I got my iPhone 12 pro max back when it was launched and every year I say to myself that I’ll buy a new one whenever they will do a remarkable upgrade. Still using 12 pro max ✌🏼
-
Good review as always so thanks for posting! I don’t know, this year’s update seems rather boring to me. Also, I’m not overly enthusiastic with the continued build-up of new features that makes iOS a bit convoluted. That last ad from Apple about carbon neutral was the most corny promotional video I have ever seen. While I’m pretty much married to iOS I think I’m going hold off and see how the Pixel 8 Pro and S24 Ultra pans out 🤷♂️
-
I had no interest in the 15 since there wasn’t too much of a big change. Usually I skip a year and I would have updated to the 16 pro max. However with all the problems I been having with my 14 pro max and apple not doing much I’m forced to switch to the 15 and pre ordered mine. Hopefully it’s worth it.
-
Quick question: Do either of the Pro versions have the ability to record to external SSD drives like T5 or T7 Samsungs… or is it just the ability to mount the drives and access the FILES folder and transfer after the fact to them?
-
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
-
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!
