This was VERY helpful! For me, it helped to confirm that picture quality has not improved enough to justify upgrading from my 13PM. I had difficulty telling the difference many times, even pixel-peeping on my 83" OLED, and in many cases I preferred shots from the 13. Thanks for saving me money!
This is the video that’s convinced me to change. I hate the watercolor effect of my 13PM and in the shot of the guy playing the guitar it’s dramatically improved with the 15
@@MidnughtMerauders I hear ya. I think it depends on what you are looking for, but there are so many variables at play based upon what the software decides to do, for me the improvements are just not consistent enough. This is evidenced by Vadim frequently choosing the wrong photos throughout the video, bless his heart.
Definitely comes down to personal preferences. Noise was a common point of criticism throughout the video but I’ll take noise and sharpness over excessive smoothing. One is much easier to fix later.
I've been using the 13 pro max for 2 years now, and I'm still not sure if I want to upgrade since it's still a very great phone
The 13 Pro Max is a much better built device in comparison to the 15 Pro Max. It is a solid quality product next to the flimsy new phone. You can really see and feel where costs have been cut by Apple over the years. Oh yeah, and you don't need to have a fire extinguisher on hand when using the 13 PM.. 😂😂😂🔥🔥
13 PRO MX is one of the best iphones ever made, 2 years down the line and still giving 15 pro max a run for the money.
13 pm is beast, have it since 2021…Apple will nerf it
Yeah, I’m getting my mom a 13 Pro Max. Actually my dad has 14 Pro Max, I have 15 Pro Max, so that’s funny because we’ll have all the phones in this comparison 😂
So interesting to see how good the 13Pro still is compared to the 15Pro. (Still like more of the 15pro photos, but the 13pro had some real gems)
13 pro have one of the best cameras. compare to next models. main camera is focus closer then 15 pro and give you sharper results. If you combine 13 pro camera with 15 pro sensor it would be a killer. Have no idea why Apple create this BS main camera on 15 pro. Its not just 24 mm which to wide compare to 26 mm on 13 pro, but it also have slower aperture f1.78 vs f1.5 on 13 pro. Im really surprised that this people who review cameras day in and day out never mention this fact in this video. Whats make 15 pro images looks better its resolution and nothing else. But I should say who ever create this 5x zoom lens for 15 pro did amazing job. This lens is absolute bliss to shoot with. Best lens on iPhone ever made!!!! I wish other two can shoot with same quality. But main lens/sensor will constantly produce noisy images.
I honestly didn’t expect 14 pro max to do that bad and 13 pro max that good. Happy 13 pro owner here
sad 14 pro max user here
@@iSimp194is it better with the updates?
@@londorika2 still the same
@@iSimp194is it better now? thinking whether to go 15 mx or 14 max
Super video! Thank you for doing these comparisons year over year! Very helpful! Keep up the outstanding work.
I enjoyed this style of video for comparison, keep up the good work!
The real question is: would an actual blind person be able to tell the difference?🤔
blind person couldn't see the screen :)
Touch it and feel it 😅
A JOKE
The question is tasteless - some of the responses are even worse.
Have Siri describe the image :)
I love Sister’s voice, it is just so soft ❤and comforting 😊❤
Wow guys great video, thanks! Can’t find this quality anywhere else on TH-cam!
Nice comparison. I appreciate the wide range of photos you compared.
I would have loved to see the graphic revel with what lens was used. I know you talked about them but still to have that displayed would have been great. Awesome video!
I think that was the hardest comparison yet. Most of the images were so close. The 15's low light performance was the stand out for me.
We need a 12 pro max comparison with a 15 pro max. Just to see if and by how much apple has improved its max phone cameras over 4 generations. ... ( 3 years 😜 ... and over 4 years of work at apple hq ) .
Yup, do a video guys ... 12 pro max vs 15 pro max.
@@nh1703 Would love to see this comparison as that is my current upgrade path.
4 years what?
4 years? The iPhone 12 Pro Max hasn't even been out for 3 years.
Seen some on other channels and even vs 11 Pro, without zooming in image quality isn’t much different in bright outdoor conditions. Medium and low light though, beginning with 13 Pro it was a drastic improvement from 12P and earlier. Huge. I personally noticed this going from an 11 Pro to a 13 Pro one year ago, especially moderate light detail is much better and larger sensor lets more light in to begin with. Night mode certainly is better too but I was most excited for the moderate light (like many indoor locations would have)
I'm a recent convert to the iPhone (with the 15 Pro) and I'm so glad I did as a photography hobbyist. 🎉
Your comparison video really help me alot... Thanks for saving my money
Im using iPhone 13 Pro from last 1.5 yrs still its running fine... Now after watching your video i think 13 Pro still giving tough fight to 14 pro & 15 pro so i will wait for next years iphone 16 pro
Most the photos look pretty good on the 13. Makes me want to keep my 13 and not make the upgrade
Because the main lens has 1.5 aperture !
Same
to feel a deference on iphone buy it every 4-5 years
You guys also need to understand that you can't see all the difference between the photos due to TH-cam compression... But even then, you can see the difference between 13 and 15
This is the video we were waiting for!!!! Thank you guys, you are amazing (Angelica always adds up some sweetness to these videos too)!!! It helps us a lot before spending money on upgrades... My score was also similar, 15PM the clear winner, second 13PM e third the 14PM, but i confess some pictures in which i thought the 13PM was reallly tied, i gave it to it, just because it is the underdog... But except on very few cases, the differences were very tiny... Summarizing, another year without upgrading, thank you guys!!! Cheers from Brazil!!!
So interesting comparison ❤️loved it
This was an amazing video. Video next? I really enjoy my 13 pro max and macro photography. Hopefully next 3 gens are major leaps forward!
I can tell that you guys previously worked as photographers. Great review!
I have a 13 pro and that camera is still awesome, can you guys do a video camera comparison ?? Great video 😁👍🏾
I think the 14 really flop in HDR and some night scenes with weird colors. The 13 has the best colors and sharpness. The 15 looks most realistic
Shoot in proraw, problem solved
I myself have 13 pro max and I am surprised by these results. I don't think there has been any catastrophic change
Only to the thermal efficiency of the devices..😂😂😂🔥
Yeah... I don't know. 13 Pro Max hardly gets hot, of course sometimes @@neilmcguinness4422
The image of the guitar player is what’s sold me on the 15 over my 13. So glad to see a bias towards allowing some noise to keep things sharp over the 13s water color effect
Instead of only having one winner, have you considered ranking the photos first, second, and third? That's what I do in these comparisons. I feel it gives a more rounded picture of the best camera.
For example, I got 62 for the 15, 68 for the 14, and 90 for the 13. Personally, I found the 13 had bigger misses than the 14 when it did miss.
Just a suggestion. They're all good snappers. Thanks for uploading this content.
That would be awesome
Agreed, this would be a great idea, and add a much greater depth to the rankings.
This is also true. I’ve had the 13PM and now on the 14PM. The 13PM could be more impressive at times, but the 14PM is more consistently good.
Just did my own anyway. Scores were all over the board. I can see where casual pic takers for social media will lean towards and like overprocessed pix will lean toward the 15PM. But photographers will have a much harder choice. Budget fans will be glad the 13 and 14s hold their own and are a fine buy today. For budget fans - the much larger photo sizes for the 15PM will also create more storage demands... double whammy.
It boils down to improved HDR, and if you plan on using the pic on a screen larger than your laptop where twice the megapixels would make a difference in detail. Some instances the 15 has a little less noise.
Thanks for this. The difference is incremental. I’m going to keep my 13 Pro Max another cycle at least. Thanks! 😊
What camera did you guys use to shoot this video?
I was generally able to get these right but I had to stare at them for a while. A quick glance and I don't see differences. I'm on the 13 mini and will upgrade someday.
I think I’m glad I’m holding onto my 13 Pro Max😊
Me too
Switched from 13 Pro to 15 Pro, glad that I didn’t go with the Max version, use more like 3x lens. But for close-up shots I noticed immediately that phone is switching to ultra wide, and I prefered shots from 13 Pro. Still like more details on 15 Pro.
thanks for this video.. really proves that it is good to upgrade every 3 or 4 years else there will only be incremental upgrades. To the untrained eyes, all these images looks good.
You guys have to set up a rig where all three cameras shoot at the exact same time. I don’t know if an external bluetooth shutter button or Watch would do it, but you HAVE to compare like with like. Subtle changes in light, the sun or clouds that can occur within seconds can make a huge difference in photos for direct comparison.
Thank you for this honest comparison :)
The changes are only cosmetic.
What state were these photos taken in? Looks beautiful
Wow the iPhone 15 pro max wow can't wait to get mines by the end of October close to the 1st of November i enjoyed the video
It does seem that the 15 takes the warmest/amber tint shots. It is so different from the other two at times it would be good to know from the photographer which shot replicates the colours the best.
Perfect video. Thank you.
Could you please make a comparison between 15 pro max vs 11/12 pro max on 2x and 3x? It would be interesting. I have better photo quality on my 11 pro max vs 15 one. Thank you.
this video makes me feel good that i didn't upgrade my 13pro max yet. gonna wait for another year or two.
Do the iphone 15 pm still use the x5 optical on your low light photos? Cause i know the iphone auto switches to 1x and then crops in if its low light.
I think the 13 Pro Max looked the best in a bunch of them
I had almost as many 13 as I did 15. And the most in "too close to call". Feeling better about not upgrading yet.
i would like to see the comparison of details with the 14PM 48MP HEIF vs 15PM 48MP HEIF. it would make for an interesting details differences.
It was shocking how good the 13 pro max camera are it still fighting with 15 pro max camera it’s amazing 👍
As a designer and artist myself, working with clients throughout the years I can absolutely state that not all see colors and shapes as people working in visual industry. How you feel about it is more important ❤
Everything is mind blowing to these guys
Can you do a video comparison of the 3?
I feel uploading the pictures and making a poll for us to pick which we feel are best is the best way to go my opinion
We did blind test iPhone 14 Pro vs Honor Magic 5 PRO.... and to our surprise photos from the Honor looked mostly better (especially zoom and low light).
Cool comparison!!!
NOW THIS IS QUALITY 👏 CONTENT 👏
I have the 13PM 😅😅😅
one of the main reasons I was looking to upgrade was for better cameras. While the 15 is better , it's definitely not significantly better. I think ill keep my 13 for another year, its still a fantastic phone.
I gotta say, that blue of the 13 pros line up is with the green probably the best color ever (at least for me)
Thinking of buying a refurbished iphone 13 pro max And after seeing this video i am very happy
best comparison
Your kids have grown so much Max, congrats!!
Wait which Max, 13, 14 or 15?
@@BriannHereLol. Max the TH-camr
Exactly why I upgraded from my 14 Pro to the 15 Pro. Software plays a HUGE part in overall photo quality and I’m
Glad Smart HDR 5 has addressed a lot of the issues I’ve complained about for years.
The HDR and sharpness on my 14 Pro’s photos are terrible! A reason why I want to upgrade besides the battery as well
@@MatthewVlossak do it, I was shocked at the difference Smart HDR 5 made. Not a surprise though, Google has done this year in and year out with their Pixel line! Software matters more than hardware!
@@T-eee-LIt’s beyond agitating! The 15 Pro’s photos look so much warmer too…How has the battery life been? Pretty much the same as the 14 Pro?
@@MatthewVlossak 15 Pro doesn’t produce warmer photos, at least not mine. Battery life has been good, a little better than the 14 Pro.
I’ve got a 14PM 😅 for the stars picture I recognised immediately my phone 🤣🤣 that blueish background with the stars.
Thanks for the vid. Yet I have to say all this work and all these comparisons and you didn't do any macro shots! That is literally the deciding factor for me so if anyone has anything to say about the macro on the 13th versus the 15 I'd love to hear it
Keeping my 13PM for another year 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great video as always. Is the 14/15 main lens focusing issue something that could be fixed with an update or is the hardware just not physically capable of focusing close at all?
hardware, solution choice and it is annoying me a lot
@@TechieBabyI know nothing about this ( as I have never owned a pro phone but just tried it out) so if you could clarify. Are you talking about macro mode? Can you still get magnified close-ups on the 15 pro?
Thanks
This video made me confirm that my decision was correct not to upgrade to the 15 Pro. My iPhone is the 14 Pro and it still provides a very excellent level of photography, close to the 15 Pro and sometimes better than the 15 Pro. I think I will keep it for a longer period as well, even if the iPhone 16 Pro is released. Maybe i will reconsider when the 17 Pro comes out
Well, why even thinking about upgrading from previous year model...nowadays makes no sense at all
how is battery on your 14P holding up?
@@davidlepen3595 At first, the performance was excellent, but later after 6 months it became average. My battery health now is 86%
I think 15 PM is the most balanced smartphone camera in terms of HDR, color, texture, white balance control, flare control, DSLR level 5x portraits from these and i was able to guess more than 80 percent correct. 15 PM is the most refined in this sensor size generation until the sensor sizes of all cameras are upgraded, with the only weakness of the minimum focus distance of ulta wide issue. Kudos to Apple engineers and no words about the video performance which are generations ahead of competitors
I currently have the 15PM in blue
Nice comparison 🙂
You guys are trying hard to sell these things but I am glad you gave an honest comparison this time
Watching on my 13pro max…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My next upgrade mybe 16pro max😁
Is it a blind test of the best, or just to find which one is the 15 Pro Max? Because it seems more like the latter, where in many cases it wasn't the best.
Yo wtf I didn’t know they was 2 different people lol. Mind is blown 🤯
It’s a bummer that Apple locks the software capabilities to the newer iPhones. I would’ve loved these improvements for my iPhone 14 Pro esp. since they have the same software as the 15 Pro as the photos seem to be fixed (oversharpening, warmer colors etc)
Software capability locking by Apple is deplorable. Even Samsung filters down software improvements from it's latest devices to it's older ones. So why can't Apple?.
SmartHDR did terribly on iPhone 13 and 14. It was a scam to get you to buy the 15
Thanks for this video! I have the 13 and really liked it until now 😂 But I think I will wait a bit more before changing... as Apple are developing those phone at the speed of light 😅 But, that was really helpful... thanks!
Definitely getting the iphone 15 pro max
The fact that it is this close has me canceling my pre-order of the 15. Even in the worse photos from the 13 can be fixed with thrid party tools
Were the 13 and 14 upgraded to the same iOS 17 as the 15? I don't see where the video says? Apple made software improvements to the camera, but Apple also may have blocked some camera improvements to the older phones even though the same hardware
You can tell someone has a keen eye
I loved my 13 pro max and then it broke and I really didn’t want 14 but needed it now I’m stuck with it till I get a new job😅
Is it an apple watch on you. Which model is this ?
Do the 13 vs 14 vs 15 regular phones also
I have 14 pro max and I'm thinking to upgrade to 13 pro max skin tone colors!
In your test you only care about more details in the photos which fir sure the 48MP will always gives better, dynamic range and 5x portrait is something nice for the 15 pro max but non of them have 13 portrait and skin tones colors
Great vid guys ❤ stay beautiful 😍
The most useful camera is a 50mm. The last iPhone with a 50mm was the 11Pro and Max
11 Pro Max was my favorite iPhone camera. I feel like it had the best color / HDR photos.
What u sugest me.. 14pro normal 15 or s23ultra ??
This lady has grown so much in years, she's looking gorgeous, I'm crushing on her 😂
Capture at 48MP HEIC looks amazing on 17.1 beta 2.
Of course this only is with 1X. Any other mode including night defaults to 12MP.
We really need a pro camera app like Sony has with their Xperia phones!
For general public iPhones are fine...
@@xhobv02General public here speaking. They aren't fine and would benefit from a Pro camera app.
What bokeh setting did you use for the portrait mode? specifically at 6:35
These are all with the default. At 6:35 using the 5x lens the default is F4.5. If you bring it down all the way to F1.4 the bokeh balls turn into ovals and the blur looks curved closer to the vintage Russian lenses which makes it look really cool but its a ton of blur.
@@MaxTechOfficial Much appreciated
The blur on the 15 Pro portraits looks a little artificial or not? Or is that just a setting?
To be honest, in all the shots that involve portrait or bright sunny scenes, the 14 and 15 pro max photos tend to have an noticeable green tinted color shift in the white balance or skintone, this is very obvious that every blind guess can separate the two from the 13 pro max, I am not entirely sure why the professional reviewers in the video can have a hard time to guess it wrongly...
Guessed nearly all the pictures for 15 PM correctly just by looking out for the ones with warmer temperatures 😂
How about the shot before fireplace?
iPhone 14 Pro vs. Regular 15 next please!
ngl i liked the outcomes among the 13 pro max! i wish apple had a mode to keep the same picture profile the way the 13 pro max produced the photos.
throw in the vanilla iPhone 15, just want to see.
I3 is looking good.
The Family portrait in the farm. Didnt expect it was the 13PM
You just saved me money 😂
nice video!
the 5X lens takes super sharp pictures.
Holding the 13pm, you guys save me the money😁
Great video! Just got my 15 Pro Max today (upgraded from 14 pro max which I do every year with Apple trade in) love the titanium and rounded corners. Haven’t had time yet to try the camera. Hi from 🇬🇧
I will stick with my 13 pro max until upcoming release of the Iphone 16 pro max it will be worth it to upgrade it
For small increment in Camera, Type C is the Real Hero of 15 Pro and Pro max
