You have to put them next to each other to see the differences. Neither of these devices will let you down (speaking as 15 pro owner). There is no reason to upgrade from 15 pro. Switching phones can be done comfortably with 3--4 years between. Yearly makes no sense.
Still, I orderd 16 Pro Max (I am already using 15 PM and it's the best phone I have ever had) just be on-time. Upgrade cost is not too big this year since iPhones in EU are much cheaper that they were a year ago
Why compare the iPhone on 5x zoom, but not on 3x? Using 3x is a much more common zoom when taking portraits (75mm). The iPhone 16 Pro would crop from the main camera, while the 15 Pro would be able to use the telezoom. Some other videos show that the 15 Pro is much more suitable to take portrait images compared to the new 16 Pro. Testing only at the native 16 Pro formats is not a fair comparison. I rather have 3x zoom than a 5x zoom...
it is, it is actually much better, with same hardware, impressive from Apple, they really did their best this year, and undersold it, I wish them good luck.
The cameras are so much alike so I would go for the one with the right zoom range for you. If you usually zoom between 1x - 4.9x then go with the iPhone 15 pro. If you usually want to go 5x and beyond in zoom I would go with the 16 Pro.
Hm sad to see that the test results for a 3x zoom comparison are as expected - which is where the iPhone 16 Pro looks really bad. This becomes more obvious when using the range between 3x and 4.9x zoom where die resolution of the iphone 16 pro drops down to ~2Megapixel resolution (48 / (4.9*4.9) = 1.999). I get that the fotos look better when you have to zoom in a lot - which is probably why you want a zoom lens in the first place - but the iPhone 16 pro is borderline unusable between 3x-5x zoom levels. Not to say that portraits are typically shot at a 50-100mm focal range, which would be a 2x - 4x range. And no - the 2x "lens" is not at 50mm focal range, it is at 24mm with a crop :D This is only equivalent in Apple's PR department :D
From an image perspective a 50% center 25mm crop is identical from a native 50mm image (when taken with same aperture). The actual difference is that the resolution is 4x lower. With the small lenses of any phone camera, these cannot match the high megapixel count of the sensors. The only way these cameras produce decent images is when there is a lot of light or by the use of computational photography where they stack a lot of images to simulator long exposures and get enough light. The advantage of stacking images is that you can eliminate some of the motion blur and/or shake. I am always amazed by the quality of my iPhone pictures (especially when light is low) when I view them on the phone. It's always a terrible disappointment when I get back home and view them on a monitor. Despite I hate the BS of marketing, I do like that I always carry a camera that is able to produce usable images. I don't bring my Canon R6 and lenses with me all the time...
@@RamonDeKlein no it is not ^^ Apple wants you to think that but a 50mm lens renders the background larger than the foreground when compared to a 25mm lens. There are good resources about how higher focal length show less distortion, larger background rendering and shallower depth of field. That is also the reason why professionals are not using 24mm for portraits but 50, 85 and 105mm lenses. Also, all photos in the iPhone main camera are taken at the same aperture since the aperture is not adjustable.
At the end of the day, photographically speaking, both of these devices just give different starting points for editing. Give me any 16 Pro shot, and after 2 minutes of editing I will give you an identical image from the 15 Pro.
I don't see anything different, the quality of the photography is the same. For those who still have the iPhone 15 pro, it's not worth buying the iPhone 16 pro.
That is not true. The 16 Pro's primary camera has superior low-light performance, and the 5X zoom is a good upgrade over the 3X on the 15 Pro if you like to get closer. Also, the portraits on the 16 Pro are clearly better. The ultrawide on the 16 Pro is objectively better than the 15 Pro, especially at night. The 16 Pro can also record at 120FPS. If you have a 15 Pro, you may need to make more than these clear improvements to upgrade, but if you are coming from an older phone, pay the extra for the 16 Pro.
Hmmmm. I see plenty of differences in some of the photos. If you listen to her, she points out the differences and also where there are little or no differences. Would I upgrade if I had a 15Pro? Probably not. But I have a 12 pro, so I will be upgrading and will see a big difference.
@@andyH_England yes but in photo quality I don't see any difference, same quality and noise at night I'm even thinking about having the iPhone 16 pro but the iPhone 17 pro max will be the best iPhone ever all thanks to the new 903 1/1.14" sensor...ultrawide The iPhone 16 pro/max is better but at night there is still a problem with noise and colors and saturation

@@TranceParadise much cheaper? How come, eastern europe, prices are the same.
@@thomsont5832 Not in Poland. We pay EUR 250 less for 16 Pro Max than for 15 PM a year ago
It is cheaper, e.g. here in Poland the iPhone 16 pro 128 GB is $183 cheaper than the iPhone 15 pro 128 GB cost after its premiere last year.
It never did exept maybe the first few years till the iphone 4 or even just till the 3 gs.

Personally, the 16 pro's camera appears to be significantly sharper and the colors are more vibrant.
it is, it is actually much better, with same hardware, impressive from Apple, they really did their best this year, and undersold it, I wish them good luck.
I would logve to see a comparison between the new 16 pro vs an older iphone like the 12 pro or 11 pro!!
As a former 11 pro owner who upgraded to 15 pro, video and photo upgrade is pretty significant
Remember, iPhone 15 pro MAX has an x5 that is plenty of details, it’s the same sensor and camera as 16 pro, Apple said it
Can you do a low light video comparison between 16 Pro & 15 Pro?
15promax vs 16pro which is better
The cameras are so much alike so I would go for the one with the right zoom range for you. If you usually zoom between 1x - 4.9x then go with the iPhone 15 pro. If you usually want to go 5x and beyond in zoom I would go with the 16 Pro.
And normal 16 vs 15 Pro camera?

I dont see any significant difference, until you say it. Otherwise entertaining video. Thanks.

Hii tech arena! Thanku so much for the info u gave us.. ❤ Big love from india 🇮🇳💞 u are very beautiful 😍
that's why samsung made worse cameras on the s24 ultra than the s23 ultra 😂😂
looking like its the after the fact processing rather than generational leap in sensor tech has been applied

Difference is small but noticeable. 16 Pro gives a bit more pleasant picture
15 pro is better than 16 pro tell Apple store i said so
Klar ist das neue iPhone besser. Wäre ja komisch, wenn nicht.

Slightly difference. No need to UPGRADE! you Will buy the SAME Iphone last year.
iPhone 16 pro is not even arrived to the people 😂

No difference really..super small difference
Honesty, only front came in low light go for 16 otherwise prefer 15
Tell us you like the 16 pro, without telling us you like the 16 pro. 😂
Looks the same
iPhones in trouble, if S25U comes with an upgrade, this is finished.
No and it never will. Apple has a very loyal fanbase especially in the us.
