iPhone 15 Pro Max vs iPhone 16 Plus - Which To Choose? In this episode, we will help you decide on the best product for nearly the same price! Share your thoughts, questions, comments, experiences, and enjoy the episode! 🔥📱😀
I have the 16 plus in black with 256gb, not everyone wants to spend the extra money or want the same phone. I find that my iPhone 16 plus is pro enough with great cameras, battery life and I’m really loving it.
If the 15 pro max wasn’t prone to major overheating I would’ve said that’s the better buy, but the 16 plus has a advantage of being no overheating and will get a extra year of updates
I chose 16 plus because 1: I don't care about HZ and PM was 200 dollar or so more expensive in my country (i say it by converting the price) 2: 15 pro series seems to have heating problems so i couldn't take the risk
@@TalhaQureshiYT you dont notice if you've never used one before.. i tried using my old phone after using the 15pm for a while and i still cannot get used to 60hz 😭
Easy pick. Go with 15 Pro max, you get more and paying the same or less. I have the 15 pro max natural titanium. I can also confidently say the 15 Pro max as of right now is better than even the 16 pro max. The Apple intelligence is not here yet even though they swore the 16 like was made for the thing. But the gimmicks are not things most people care about. And that includes the slight performance improvement. People tend to hold their IPhones for years. So the gpu scores and cpu scores mean nothing to average customers.
@ it’s been a great phone. I’ll be brutally honest. There is no real reason I should upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. I only want the newer phone for vain reasons. Mainly that desert titanium color. But this phone doesn’t lag. Doesn’t over heat. Batter last me all day and i am always on my phone. Watching TH-cam or other social media. It’s kept in a case and screen protector. It does get out when charging because it fast charges below 80 percent. But if you keep a fan nearby or cooler environment. You’ll be fine. This is a solid phone. Fun fact. I didn’t realize it at first but the phone is noticeably thinner than previous models. It’s not a heavy phone to my hands. Screen is beautiful and reading or watching videos is a breeze. I really do not have a reason to complain about my phone. Was made in June 2024 and I bought it in September. So it’s past all the bugs initially seen.
I’m going with the 15PM for this even if the 16 Plus has newer spec. Looks and feels like 16PM just without the camera control. Business wise, I feel more confident with the Pro Max vs the base model when dealing with clients (increasing sales and trust with the top end phones vs the base based on experience)
I agree they’re both excellent phones. It’s just finding out which one is the right one for you!!! for me I got the 16 plus and I am very happy with that decision!! For what I like, it’s got most of the features the pros do and I love excellent battery life!! I do agree tha the iPhone should’ve upgraded to 120 Hz instead of 60 that being said on my iPhone 16 Plus I can take advantage of more battery life by putting it on battery saver mode Because it’s only at 60 Hz without it!! I love got the action button and the camera button and it jumped up two chips from the A16 to the A18 over my 15 plus!! phone call quality is excellent. Do I miss the third camera Yes, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me, especially with the digital two ex zoom!! also love the colors and the pill shaped camera cut out!! Oh I thought it through and I made the right decision for me!! thanks, Nic for the comparison!!!
I've been resenting Apple for a while now for bringing all the fun colors to the plus line and not the pro line. They trying to say that Pro is boring?
I’m still with the iPhone 7 Plus so I don’t really care what iPhone I get since I don’t really know what it’s like having a real iPhone. I’ll go whatever’s cheaper.
In my opinion I like the 15 Pro/Max Lenses better. The new design for the lenses on the 16 don’t look that nice to me. I preferred the 15 Dual Camera Lenses more than the 16.
The thing is, here in India, the 15 pro is at least 250 dollar costlier than 16. So a customer will be actually getting a bargained 15 pro by buying 16 with the performance and features that comes with it, which makes it almost indistinguishable from 15 pro.
I’m so stuck cause Ik this is gonna sound silly but the iPhone 16 plus I just got and love the pink but when I found out about the better camera features on the 15 pro I’m stuck idk what to get now… should I choose 15 pro instead and return the 16… but then it won’t be pink 😢😢
If you want apple intelligence then it’s between the 15 pros or the 16 series. I would recommend the 15 pro. If you don’t care for apple intelligence then I would recommend the standard iPhone 15 since it has 48 megapixel camera, USB-C, MagSafe, and A16 Chip
I already got the 15 Pro Max about 3 months back (I know, I bought brand new), and thus far I am really loving it. Prior to that, I had base level iPhones: 14, 12 mini, SE 2nd Gen, iPhone 6. The 15x zoom on the 15 Pro Max has had more use than I thought I'd get out of it, and the overall quality and usage of the device has been excellent. I also have 18.1 RC installed and the Apple Intelligence features added have been fun and I can see them being occasionally useful. Image cleanup may come into use on rare occasion, and works very well the few times I've used it. Aside from the zoom, there really isn't much difference between the two for my usage scenarios.
For me, the chipset is not a significant factor, especially considering it is just only a year ahead. You won’t notice any difference in performance. What truly matters are the visible features. The additional camera, 120Hz refresh rate, thinner bezel are all notable improvements.The extra button on the iPhone 16 models is 🗑️. I’m sure Steve Jobs is not pleased about the extra button, especially since he famously criticized the phones with multiple buttons during 1st iPhone initial launch.
I think a iPhone 15 Pro Max vs 16 Pro would be the better comparison video. I think a lot of people are considering those 2 when upgrading from an older model as the 16 pro got bigger.
The camera shape was better on the iPhone 12 as usual and uglier on the older one, but its light weight makes me ignore the Pro as well. It's normal. You'll find it new even after four years.
@@techsteveo7913 yes, im keeping the 15pm.. my gf needs a new phone, hers is iphone x… im gonna buy the 16+ at $800… saving of $330. Anyhow, i need to make a decision of which phone shes getting from me… lol.
Most people put money down on a iPhone they finish pay it off most people keep the iPhone they have long most people don’t pay in full for a new iPhone
the only reason i would get 16 plus is for longer amount of software updates however on ebay where i will be replacing my xs i barely can find any 16s or 16 pluses
This is silly but can you do the reverse of this? 15 Plus vs 16 Pro Max? I have a chance to get a 15 plus but just wondering if I should go Pro Max instead.
Of course most people are going to say 15 pro because the 15 came out before the 16. They don’t own the 16!! How many people actually need the features of the 15 Pro??? and don’t tell me it’s because of the camera because I have not seen any of your photos. And probably never will !
“You’re basically getting the same display”.. so then why not just choose the 16+ not everyone needs AOD, or 120hz. Besides it’s actually only 80-90hz that the frame rate typically operates at. I’m not spending money & not getting features
Hi Nick, can you please mark your video timeline with section description, it's jsut too long video and we have certain parts that we are interested in, and we don't know when that topic takes place. Thanks
I'd opt for the high refresh rate display every time. How anyone can still justify spending premium pricing for 60hz is beyond me. Any Android manufacturer would be absolutely ripped apart for doing what Apple does yet they're getting away with it year after year because they have groomed their customers not to expect any better for what they're paying.
It’s because the hardware feature is not what sells people but tech enthusiasts and those who pay attention to specs. It’s the ecosystem, cameras, battery, and having the latest that sells. I agree with you though it’s ridiculous but they still sell so Apple will keep making them until they just have to change or are pressured to.

Im finding visual intel quite useful im ngl, tbh for the average user the 16 would be the better choice im literally finding no downside with it
To save you time:
15 pro max is better:
Smaller bezels
Titanium
Extra camera
Will get ai features (15 pros upward)
120hz
Their both so fast in terms of the chipset it’s not worth basing decisions on off chipsets when looking at the 16 base vs15 pro
16 plus in pink is just 💓
