RIGHT!!! I mean these super cute pastel colors are reminiscent of the iPhone 5c in a way when colors started to be the thing. But the pastel is even more fun, uplifting, bright, cheerful and slick.
Great video, Aaron! Thanks for the detailed unboxing and first look at the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. It's interesting to see the new colors and design changes, especially the matte back
Agree on the reducing numbers of iPhone models. Just have 2 iPhones in different sizes that's the best iPhone every year, but also have one iPhone SE for people wanting a cheaper iPhone.
So I think that should happen from iPhone 17 onwards since they’ll be bringing the 120 HZ refresh rate on all iPhone models. Now refresh rate, camera and processor are among the major distinguishing factors between the pro and base models. Once you solve for one, the others will follow. Let’s see what happens.
@@Zomboy4313that is simply not true, the base iPhone 13 was reported to be not only the most selling iPhone in 2022 but the most selling *phone* in 2022 and that’s how it’s been for older base models since the XR. i wouldn’t be surprised if the 14 or base 13 was the most selling again this year and the base 15 next year
They could easily add "Always-On" and "ProMotion" to the non-Pro models, but if they did, a majority of people would never buy the Pro models. It's all about sales pretty much.
I have the 14 plus and love it the big screen for less money. Yeah I don’t get all the extra camera features but I am not a photographer so it doesn’t bother me the cameras are already great. My phone battery lasts 2 days which is insane for a iPhone. The 15 plus does look nice my wife likes the pink color this year. Looking forward to your tests of batteries and speed and all the great stuff you do to compare the models from previous generation to this generation.
@@mig5law nope it stays perfectly cool and I have a MagSafe otterbox case the same color of the phone the blue one. I use an off brand MagSafe charger and I charge my phone every other day or course depends on usage but I get well over a day use with medium use. I don’t play games so that might affect the battery and how long it lasts but I watch TH-cam videos text surf internet etc. on it and it is plenty fast. The only thing that some say are a downer is the 60 hz screen but I don’t notice I came from an 11 so the oled screen looks amazing to me.
Completely agree these base model iPhones are so similar to the Pro models that Apple should get rid of the Pro line and just make one iPhone with a regular and plus size with all the features. I’m sure I’m dreaming here but if they did that then they could bring back the mini as a more cheaper entry model. To me that makes more sense because then you have 3 different sizes without having Pro duplicate sizes.
I agree with you about just having two models. On another video I posted that I would like pretty colors on the pro model and people were not very nice. I love the better cameras but I preferred the colorful models.
I've had the 15 PLUS for 6 days, first time did NOT get a pro, save $500.00 and I just love this phone battery life is amazing 10 hours . . . speakers, dynamic island, weight, brightness, speed f'ing @amazing❤❤❤❤❤
As a Realme user (Chinese Android brand) I believe that the best iPhone 15 model is the Plus. Yeah, you are missing the AOD and other Pro features, or 3 cameras, but you have a huge battery and a huge screen, and the phone is powered by the processor of the iPhone 14 Pro, which means you still have a Flagship Processor plus a very big battery for several hundreds of Euros less than the 15 Pro Max. This is why I believe the 15 Plus is the best. The Pro Max is also really good, but too expensive, and makes no sense to spend 1500-1800 to 2000 € just to have those 3 or 4 features you will use twice in your life. Design-wise it might be better, but if you want an iPhone with a long lasting battery, and a huge screen, but you don't want the pro max, the 15 Plus is the right choice in my opinion. Unfortunately, my parents won't let me buy an iPhone, even with my own money (that's why I use Android on a Realme 11 Pro Plus, which is not a bad phone tho). But IF I had to buy an iPhone, I'd look for sales or deals and buy the 15 Plus for 700-800 Euros. Idc about the triple camera or the AOD, all i care about is screen size and battery. Oh, and you also have the dynamic island and its correlated features, except you spend 800 for the 15 Plus and over 1500 for the Pro Max. It's a 700 difference, which might be really relevant to some. The 15 Plus is the best.
It should have always been 2 phones. If Steve Jobs were still around we would not have a Plus Size phone… I remember something along the lines of him hating the Idea of a Big Phone!
I’m sure within the menu you can now limit the max charge to 80% this may prolong battery life life..great comparison..was going for the pro now I think it will be the 15 plus.
Measured PWM today at new lineup. Measurement was done at 3 levels for each phone - 100%, 50% and 10% brightness approximately. iPhone 15 Pro Max (PWM Frequency Hz/Modulation depth%) 480/29, 480/27, 480/75 iPhone 15 Pro 480/27, 480/38, 480/85 iPhone 15 Plus 480/4, 480/17, 480/94 iPhone 15 480/7, 480/10, 480/52 Used Opple Light Master 3. Device shouldn't be considered as precise/professional but it gives understanding of PWM level.
I would have loved to get the 15 plus in Product Red, but it wasn’t included this year, so I got the black one. Setup was easy, but I did have to call AT&T to have them transfer my number to the new phone. Overall, I am happy with the 15 plus. I had no need for the Pro model.
Great video as always, Aaron! I’m going to stick with my iPhone 12 for now. Still works perfectly for all my needs, although I wouldn’t mind the better camera on a 14 or 15 Pro. Keep up the great content!
I appreciate you covering PWM in these videos and making people aware of it. The more people aware and speak up about it then maybe Apple does something in the future to complete get rid of it. I believe it bothers more people than some might believe.
They absolutely should go down to two models. The way Apple is limiting features such as the new optimized battery charging limit option or always on display just to create differences between the models has grown tiresome.
Slow mo video does not always show PWM, best way is to use a camera with shutter speed set to 1/1000 or faster, on Android you can use camera set to photo in pro mode.
Хотелось бы в следующих видео увидеть сравнение камер 15 плюс и 15 про. Так же аналитику стоит ли переплачивать или простому человеку достаточно моделей начального уровня???
You talked about updating iOS on the new phone. You definitely need to do this if you’re planning to restore an iPhone 15 from an iOS 17.0.1 backup on your Mac. I tried to skip the update, but I got a message saying the backup was incompatible with the new phone. After I updated the iPhone 15 Pro Max to iOS 17.0.2, I had no problem setting up my new phone from my old iPhone 12 backup.
I feel like the blue version of a newer iPhone resembles the purple version of an older version. The blue 15 reminds me of the purple 14 and the blue 14 reminds me of the purple 11 & 12
9:50 - this is the wrong way of checking for flicker leading to totally misleading results that your TVs and electric lights should not be used because they're flickering too. BTW there are dark stripes on the pro model screen - that's fickering too.
So cool! If I were to buy this, it'd be the blue for me for sure! But unfortunately, I really cant afford this right now so I've been watching your iPhone XR reviews and I'll probably purchase that soon, as it is a very good price! Thanks for the videos man :)
I got the iPhone 15 Pro Max last week and I love the phone. I got it in the blue titanium. If you going to spend money on a new iPhone go with the Pro Max it is a few dollars more but it is worth the money. It is better to have features and not use them than not have the features and wish you did. GO WITH THE PRO MAX. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
I am considering upgrading from iPhone 11 to either 15 or 15 Plus. Can you compare the sizes? Can you make a "sandwich" with the 11 between the two 15s and show it from all directions? Thank you!
I think iPhone should go back to regular, Pro, and Pro Max. Regular is smaller and a little cheaper with less features, Pro is the size of regular with all the features, Pro Max is the Pro but bigger edit: I'm still imagining a mini pro phone. I would love that. The Pro Max is too big for me, and I'd love a 120hz mini phone
Absolutely the biggest Pain to transfer from 14Pro to 15Pro. Easy transfer would never connect via Bluetooth. Finally gave up and used the MAC restore method. Transferring Cell with ATT was also impossible, and finally went to an ATT store. I’m sorry I got the 15Pro.
went to the apple store hoping for a smooth transition of phones but nope, i had to walk across the street to at&t o get my esim transferred and then walked back to apple. All of that couldve been avoided with a physical sim lol.
pwm indicators are lower on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15+, it’s very suspicious that your iPhone 15 pro max screen doesn’t flicker, maybe you’ve adjusted the white point??
I have just upgraded to the iPhone 15 plus from the iPhone 13 carbon black and I am happy with it so far and the size as well . And I also agree with u that apple should only have 2 phones out as well not launching 4 phones in one day.
Would’ve loved a mini in these pastel colors.
Yes!!
the mini will not be released every year. probably only when the previous minis fall out of support.
RIGHT!!! I mean these super cute pastel colors are reminiscent of the iPhone 5c in a way when colors started to be the thing. But the pastel is even more fun, uplifting, bright, cheerful and slick.
The regular 15 is already small enough in my small hands, no need for a mini
They are all just white. The blue to me in person looked grey or silver, white with a little blue tint in the light the whole back just looks white
I have the iPhone 15 256 with Verizon Wireless and I’ve had it for almost a year.
15 plus is the best choice.. big battery 🔋
I’m planning to get the iPhone 15 Plus for my birthday.

apple should just give AOD and LTPO to all model and remove the plus model.
@@aghiffnah keep the plus model cause it’s more affordable for a big size
I haven't seen the iPhone 15 in person yet but in videos the green one is definitely my favorite.
Gonna need a battery test with all the new iPhones 🙏
15 plus is the winner
The entire 15 series are awesome n the regular models are better than ever 😊 i love them n awesome colors too
What's that great about them?
I agree. Too many phones can get confused. We need a big and smaller phone. 2 phones each year are enough
I have the 15 in black 128 gb and love it. No issues whatsoever. Plan on keeping for a long time.
Love your PFP ❤

I would love that the iPhone mini’s came with the iPhone 15

I agree with you about just having two models. On another video I posted that I would like pretty colors on the pro model and people were not very nice. I love the better cameras but I preferred the colorful models.
I feel the same way. To me, the regular 15 design looks much nicer than the Pro models, ironically.
I’m kinda liking that hospital white look 😂
Actually, I think the new color-matching wallpapers are the best we've gotten in a while. They look so light and refreshing.
I hope they cycle the mini in the range every 4 years.
Than you for pwm testing....
I got my iPhone 15 pro in titanium blue yesterday I absolutely love it.

Exactly .
If I got one of the basic I phone 15 I would go with Black as first choice and green as 2nd.
