@mitek90 In PL there's a significant difference in price right now 4100zł (1050 USD) for the 15 and 5250zł (1350 USD) for the 14 pro - we're talking about 128 GB version, so the answer is kinda obvious 🧐
I can attest to that. A 60 Hz display is the Achilles heel of normal iPhones. But, once Apple decides it's time for ProMotion, the Pros better have something crazy going for them
Just got my pink base iPhone 15 (on sale on amazon for £699). Upgraded from a iPhone 7. I love it. Weird getting used to not having a button at the bottom and I love how fast face ID is compared to touch ID. I was torn on if to get the plus for the screen size but I'm glad I saved the £100. Was tempted to wait see what we hear about a new SE but was really fed up of my 7 switching off randomly.
6:50 this is wrong. Or you weren’t specific enough. The 14 pro and EVEN the 13 pro have this feature. They can both adjust the focus point of portraits. The ONLY thing the 15 has is that it turns photos into portraits AFTER their shot
Congratulations on your 100k subs! Btw a minor correction 6:50 actually every iPhone except SE from 13 and later have this capability too, the difference is that 13 and 14 models require us to capture in dedicated portrait mode instead of the phone activating it automatically for you, which means 15 models exclusively can have live portraits and photographic styles activated at the same time
The only reason why the 15 outperformed the 14 in your test is because of the 15s 24mp default capture. If you had set the 14 pro to take HEIF MAX (compressed 48mp) photos it would’ve been way better
Yeah but you shouldn’t really be using 48MP all the time, you get less HDR and more noise. Most of the time their respective defaults should be used and compared.
I got the 14 pro max, and I gotta say, very good choice. Not missing out on anything, and the usbc is not a must have, since I charge my phone overnight, something I don’t expect any of you to be doing💀 but I also got an iPad that changes on lightning cable, so that kinda affects my choice, but overall the 14 pro max is definitely a very solid choice.

I'd say I love the iPhone 15! In fact it was on my Christmas wishlist but sadly didn't get it lol.😂 hopefully this New Year though. Also this video is very informative! Congrats again for hitting 100k subs!
@katadoto This is a tough one, but I'd pick the 15 for the battery life and USB C. Being able to transfer videos more easily and faster to external storage would be useful to me
I feel like this video misses a lot of the advantages of the 14 Pro, and undeservedly paints the 15 in a better light. The camera section misses a lot of the features exclusive to the 14 Pro. Night mode portraits, macro photography, Apple ProRAW, as well as ProRes video are all exclusive to the 14 Pro. In addition, the video incorrectly claims that only the 15 can adjust the focus point of portrait mode after a picture is taken. This is an understandable mistake as Apple advertises this feature for the 15 a lot, but is indeed on the iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 17. Take a portrait mode shot on it and give it a go- it’ll be there. In addition, this video also misses features like standby mode and the lidar sensor, which are both exclusive to the 14 Pro and pretty useful. The 1TB storage option is also exclusive to it as well. For battery life, Apple claims 23 hours of video playback on the 14 Pro, and 20 hours on the 15. I trust your estimate is accurate but can’t help wondering if part of the reason for the difference is because your 14 Pro is a year older and the battery is degraded. It is also unclear if the numbers you give are using a the 120HZ mode or not, which would further lower it. Lastly, I feel this video really just undersells the advantages of the 14 Pro even where it acknowledges them. The 120hz display is a huge improvement, the always-on-display is handy, the 3x telephoto lens makes long distance shots better. The scoring makes the 15 seem like the clear choice when in reality, the design is toss-up, camera is a toss-up (one I’d probably give to the 14 Pro), and the battery life and charging is a tossup (one I’d probably give to the 15 for USB-C). Overall, I think the 14 Pro at the same price is the clearly better phone for anyone who doesn’t really want USB-C. If you want my source for this info I’ve linked to it here: www.apple.com/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-14-pro,iphone-15
@sebunelebunmiriku I heard about the poor battery longevity of the 14 Pro series where its battery health tends to drain much faster than previous iPhones. I'm not entirely sure if it is just a local problem or just few devices are hit, but it's making me reconsider the 14 Pro. Is it a known issue?
I have had both. I loved my 14 pro but sold it because it was too heavy especially for a long use. I would say 15 is overall better as it is much more comfortable to hold, has type-c charging, clicks better pictures and can convert them into portraits. Overall, 15 is a much better device to use.
Heard about freezing & glitching. I’m hoping my iPhone 15 Plus (which is in the mail) doesn’t have these issues. I plan on keeping it for many, many years.
15, no doubt. The camera enhancements, build quality, and weight. All reasons to forget the 60htz nonsense cause baby these things are smooth. Just a nicer phone overall.
@shaafay The iPhone 15 is the perfect iPhone to get this year in my opinion. It has the much awaited USB-C port plus the new 48mp camera sensors. These two features alone make it an upgrade from the 14 Pro. Yeah, it’s missing the high refresh rate, but I honestly never notice it that much and it doesn’t bother me.
@@bboyggez yup I meant the new 48mp sensors on the base model iPhone's plus the USB-C port together make it a more appealing buy than last year's Pro model
@joshuabuwono i think you miss the weight factor too. the aluminium body on iphone 15 is so light compare to the pro iphone. i use the 14 pro for long time and it seem a bit heavy on hand. for long term and comfort, i think people choose iphone 15 rather than last year pro. by the way, great review as always
Idk how we arrived at a point where the stainless steel case is considered more “premium” than the aluminium one. These steel phones feel like absolute bricks in the hand and have much worse thermal conductivity making the phone overheat more easily. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I prefer a phone that is easy to use with one hand (small screen) and feel light and comfortable. The iPhone 15 checks pretty much all of those boxes although I would like it even more if there was a mini option available.
In India, I am getting the iPhone 15 128GB variant for around 58000 rupees or you could say 686.88 dollars and at the same time 14pro for around 1441.72. Its almost double the price of the regular 15 and the only thing it is better than the 15 is that it has a 120Hz display
kephinio I'd go with the 15 as I love the matte back. I've been constantly annoyed a bit with the back of the iPhone 14 Plus. But I love the colour and the feeling of it in the hand. That's why I only use a case when I'm outside the house.
iPhone 15 is just better ! Switching form an iPhone 13 pro max and yes, initially the 60hz was a bit weird and a pain to my eyes. But, after a couple of hours it was all smooth and adequately fine.
No its not, the 14 pro is miles better than the base 15 you are fucking coping with buying the worse phone. 60hz is terrible and apple shouldnt even sell 60hz phones anymore. You literally downgrade by buying the 15 and you would have been better off keeping the 13PM, you didn't even need to upgrade because the 13PM is still a very capable phone in 2024
@@Allxre Perhaps you're the one coping cause you're using the 14 pro yourselves 💀. The 15 has the same chipset as the 14 pro, a better battery life, it has the same dynamic island, a slimmer design, same frosted back and a 1 year extra major update. So, The 15 is miles ahead. And, 60hz is not a concern for the majority of users ! I myself turned the feature off on my s23 due to it's poor battery life. Edit : it has rounded frames and the type c too😮💨🤌🏻
I got iPhone 15 (bought 5 months ago) and my brothers got iphone 14 pro ( bought 1 and half year ago) but I feel like 14 pro is better should I exchange it with him? By adding more 120 dollars?
And , would you mind creating new comparing factor which gonna be the microphone of the phone . As a one who is addicted to listen to music and watching movies, sound will definitely matters !
Bruh!!! I got a 15 pro! And trust me once u get a hang of the pro motion and other features, there's def no way u would go back to the base variant. The 60hz is just too slow! And feel wise as well! The pro is way ahead!
Hey Dion! Great content! I would honestly get either the 14 Pro or the 15 Pro! The Deep Purple and Titanium Blue are GORGEOUS colors 🙌🏼 But to get the 14 Pro, I would either it from Back Market or Amazon Renewed! But which one would be the better place to get the 14 Pro from?
The only reason the iPhone 14 Pro didn’t have good battery at the end of the day could have been degraded Battery life since it is over a year old now.
answer is depend to the person honestly, mine is 15 Pro because USB C! all of my work device used 100% USB C except on my previous 12 Pro device, so it's such a nice upgrade to me
@mjmerces it's kinda crazy how base model iphones have achieved this level of maturity, where it does not fall behind the pro lineup in almost any category that's a great move Apple 🙏🏻
@stephennerus In my opinion I think the iPhone 14 Pro has more features I.e pro-motion display 120hz, Pro raw, prores and a telephoto lens The only thing it missing is type c I feel 14 Pro is a better buy for it pro features
i just recently watch this video and early last month cant decide if i choose the 15 or ip 14 pro ….man, you make me feel good choosing the ip 15 now thanks. ❤
good info: but i dont like pros cuz the battery life in a day sucks, but i just bought a 15 pro max, and i was gonna return it for a 15 or 15 plus, which one should i buy, and how many more hours does the plus last tthan the regualr 15? liked and subbed well deserved!
14 pro not made anymore best option is renewed with 1 year warranty $650 to $900 after tax depending on memory amount . A friend bought 14pro a few weeks ago not a scratch battery 96% Amazon or other renewed sellers
@iturnovel Although the price difference might seem marginal, opting for the 15 is like unlocking a treasure trove of added features. Personally, I'd lean towards the 15 for its enhanced functionalities. This video is a gem for those seeking guidance. Fantastic work, Dion! Keep shining and innovating
Good video. But you should rather tell the prices we have to pay here in Europe and how we get fleeced. iPhone 15 = 950 Euro (1057 $), iPhone 14 Pro = 1300 Euro (1447$). But yes, all manufacturers do that as they can get away with that...
@firerains Honestly I would’ve chosen the 14 pro because because where I live it cost cheaper then the iPhone 15 and it gives you better display 120 refresh rate, a telephoto camera and the main camera photos are already great, and the hardware looks premium.
I just got the 15 but probably would’ve preferred the 14 pro but I wasn’t able to find any iPhone 14 pros under like 950 so it was cheaper to get the 15. Buy I’m very happy with my 15 so far but it’s only been a few days 😅
i dont know if there is that many people who cant see the difference between 120 and 60 hz but for me that is such a big deal that i would choose iphone 13 pro 128 gb over 15 512 gb
Does anyone know if the plus sizes phone or max phones worth it, I hated big screens, however they made the plus lighter .so now I’m kinda interested but I love my one handed phone use
@leerobertts Tbh, 14 Pro is still better in every single way, despite the 15 producing “slightly sharper” 24mp photos. Just turn on “heif max” on the 14 Pro, and you’ll get almost the same result with the 15. Plus, you get a better ultrawide lense and an additional telephoto lense on the 14 Pro, the stainless steel design, 120hz promotion, proraw and prores, and you can get it on a discounted price, depending from where you buy it. If you’re the tyoe of person who just wants an iPhone, then the 15 is more than enough. But if you are someone who use an iPhone for content creation, then go for the 14 Pro.
@mmwansajr I think the 14 pro is the better buy. People always rock there phones with a case (like Spigen cases 😏) so the build isn't a biggie. And the iPhone camera, even with their very very minor upgrade with each new phone, will always be great regardless. Hope you had an amazing Christmas and have an awesome new year. Love to see your continuous dedication to your craft. BIG UP! 💪🏾
iamade_xx Hey dion i have been following your youtube channel since your final cut pro days.... i have been one of my favorite tech youtubers. You taught me how to use final cut pro.... so i appreciate you so much, by the way the only difference between the 14 pro and the 15 is the type C.

I usually go one generation behind for a lot of tech/OS because most of the time it wasnt ready for mass use and there are bugs and of course, price. I think the end of the video should be "hey if money is no object, buy a gold plated 15! Buy two of them lol!" Ill be going to 14 most likely, unless it doesnt cost vastly less
@gus_nrvz To be honest I would choose the regular iPhone 15. The fact that it has USB-C now (even though its locked at 2.0 speeds) imo is the biggest game changer. Also, the refreshed design with the matte glass back, and better camera sensors makes it the most substantial change to the regular iPhone line-up since the iPhone 12.
iPhone 15 or 14 Pro, which would you choose?
Already choosed 15
I would like to go for 15, because of better battery life, type c, blue color😅, slightly rounded frame .

@@karimdaher5367 Great choice. I eventually went for the 15 pro since i got a great deal for it. Tbh i didnt really need a pro phone, i barely care about the pro features. the 120 hz is lovely tho, but who cares really, its just a phone. we consume media thats 60 hz or below so who cares
@bratujean
I would go for the 14 pro, the high screen refresh rate is a must.
I would choose iPhone 15. I don't like heavy phones tbh. Coming from a 120hz phone to a 60hz, my eyes can get used to that just give it a few days.
love the white spigen case, looks crazy good showing the internals
I'd say I love the iPhone 15! In fact it was on my Christmas wishlist but sadly didn't get it lol.😂 hopefully this New Year though. Also this video is very informative! Congrats again for hitting 100k subs!
Thank you and let us see what tomorrow will bring :)
@katadoto
This is a tough one, but I'd pick the 15 for the battery life and USB C. Being able to transfer videos more easily and faster to external storage would be useful to me
It’s usb 2 though
@@dorukyalcinsoy ??? its usb c
Congrats on reaching 100K!! Great comparison.
Thank you so much 😀
@mardikas
I would rather go for the 14 Pro because refresh rate is important to me and I like having 3 lenses.
that's it! thanks for the decisive, no nonsense judgement. I go with iPhone15. Thanks.
My pleasure
I feel like this video misses a lot of the advantages of the 14 Pro, and undeservedly paints the 15 in a better light.
The camera section misses a lot of the features exclusive to the 14 Pro. Night mode portraits, macro photography, Apple ProRAW, as well as ProRes video are all exclusive to the 14 Pro. In addition, the video incorrectly claims that only the 15 can adjust the focus point of portrait mode after a picture is taken. This is an understandable mistake as Apple advertises this feature for the 15 a lot, but is indeed on the iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 17. Take a portrait mode shot on it and give it a go- it’ll be there.
In addition, this video also misses features like standby mode and the lidar sensor, which are both exclusive to the 14 Pro and pretty useful. The 1TB storage option is also exclusive to it as well.
For battery life, Apple claims 23 hours of video playback on the 14 Pro, and 20 hours on the 15. I trust your estimate is accurate but can’t help wondering if part of the reason for the difference is because your 14 Pro is a year older and the battery is degraded. It is also unclear if the numbers you give are using a the 120HZ mode or not, which would further lower it.
Lastly, I feel this video really just undersells the advantages of the 14 Pro even where it acknowledges them. The 120hz display is a huge improvement, the always-on-display is handy, the 3x telephoto lens makes long distance shots better. The scoring makes the 15 seem like the clear choice when in reality, the design is toss-up, camera is a toss-up (one I’d probably give to the 14 Pro), and the battery life and charging is a tossup (one I’d probably give to the 15 for USB-C).
Overall, I think the 14 Pro at the same price is the clearly better phone for anyone who doesn’t really want USB-C.

Hi Aaron, thanks for your detailed feedback. Highly appreciated!
Standby mode is available on any device that has oled screen😂
the quality of your videos is extremely good,keep up the hard work!
Which one is better for camera?
14 pro
@sebunelebunmiriku
I heard about the poor battery longevity of the 14 Pro series where its battery health tends to drain much faster than previous iPhones. I'm not entirely sure if it is just a local problem or just few devices are hit, but it's making me reconsider the 14 Pro. Is it a known issue?
I have had both. I loved my 14 pro but sold it because it was too heavy especially for a long use. I would say 15 is overall better as it is much more comfortable to hold, has type-c charging, clicks better pictures and can convert them into portraits. Overall, 15 is a much better device to use.
Thx!
What about the battery performance??
I love spigen cases and that white/transparent case looks amazing
Speck cases are even better.
Blah blah blah. 14 pro is the better device. Of course you'll say the 15 is better because you're doing a giveaway.
Nah 14 pro camera is worse than 15
I wish life was that easy :). All my videos are serious attempts to be objective.
Ikr i use 14 pro
dont cry
how can the 14 pro be better when it can’t produce 24 megapixel pictures
I like the black case compare to the white. Idk but feels more premium if black 🙂
White! apple 15 all the way lighter better ergos and usb-c. Future proof for a little more~
Heard about freezing & glitching. I’m hoping my iPhone 15 Plus (which is in the mail) doesn’t have these issues. I plan on keeping it for many, many years.
Hi Melissa, unless you are extremely unlucky, this phone will serve you for many years indeed.
15, no doubt. The camera enhancements, build quality, and weight. All reasons to forget the 60htz nonsense cause baby these things are smooth. Just a nicer phone overall.
copium lol
@shaafay
The iPhone 15 is the perfect iPhone to get this year in my opinion. It has the much awaited USB-C port plus the new 48mp camera sensors. These two features alone make it an upgrade from the 14 Pro. Yeah, it’s missing the high refresh rate, but I honestly never notice it that much and it doesn’t bother me.
The 14 pro has 48mp sensors lol
@@bboyggez15 takes better pic lol
@@bboyggez yup I meant the new 48mp sensors on the base model iPhone's plus the USB-C port together make it a more appealing buy than last year's Pro model
@@shaafaylol r u weird? The 14 pro has the same main sensor as the 15 pro. The base 15s have a weaker smaller sensor
@michelle_flauta
Congratulations on 100k subscribers.
This is the comparison I was looking for
Glad I made it! Hopefully it is useful
@@DionMedia very useful. Great job boss
This video was extremely helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
7:56 are you sure they have the same battery health? Other battery tests online show the 14 pro beating the base 15 by a few minutes.
@joshuabuwono
i think you miss the weight factor too. the aluminium body on iphone 15 is so light compare to the pro iphone. i use the 14 pro for long time and it seem a bit heavy on hand. for long term and comfort, i think people choose iphone 15 rather than last year pro. by the way, great review as always
Hi Joshua, yes, it is much lighter. And thanks for the compliment
Congrats brother!!!!!
Thanks!!
Idk how we arrived at a point where the stainless steel case is considered more “premium” than the aluminium one. These steel phones feel like absolute bricks in the hand and have much worse thermal conductivity making the phone overheat more easily. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I prefer a phone that is easy to use with one hand (small screen) and feel light and comfortable. The iPhone 15 checks pretty much all of those boxes although I would like it even more if there was a mini option available.
I LIKE YOUR Videos.. very informative
Glad to hear that
In India, I am getting the iPhone 15 128GB variant for around 58000 rupees or you could say 686.88 dollars and at the same time 14pro for around 1441.72. Its almost double the price of the regular 15 and the only thing it is better than the 15 is that it has a 120Hz display
15 pro is way better because battery lasts 1000 charges instead of 500.
Warranty out 14 pro or 3 month old iPhone 15?
For Long term
kephinio
I'd go with the 15 as I love the matte back. I've been constantly annoyed a bit with the back of the iPhone 14 Plus. But I love the colour and the feeling of it in the hand. That's why I only use a case when I'm outside the house.
Sir, I really enjoy watching your videos. Just subscribed. Greetings from Reynosa,Mexico.
Muchas gracias por su apoyo! Saludos a Mexico
👍
I liked this vidoes a lot not only I know which phone to buy but also he listens to EM❤🎉
this was so helpful. thank you
There are minor to non differences on the design. When you held them together. I couldn't tell the differences till you turn them upside down
iPhone 15 is just better ! Switching form an iPhone 13 pro max and yes, initially the 60hz was a bit weird and a pain to my eyes. But, after a couple of hours it was all smooth and adequately fine.
No its not, the 14 pro is miles better than the base 15 you are fucking coping with buying the worse phone. 60hz is terrible and apple shouldnt even sell 60hz phones anymore. You literally downgrade by buying the 15 and you would have been better off keeping the 13PM, you didn't even need to upgrade because the 13PM is still a very capable phone in 2024
@@Allxre Perhaps you're the one coping cause you're using the 14 pro yourselves 💀. The 15 has the same chipset as the 14 pro, a better battery life, it has the same dynamic island, a slimmer design, same frosted back and a 1 year extra major update. So, The 15 is miles ahead. And, 60hz is not a concern for the majority of users ! I myself turned the feature off on my s23 due to it's poor battery life.
Edit : it has rounded frames and the type c too😮💨🤌🏻
Thank you for the review and all comments here. It helps me. I will go with 15
Should've got the 14 pro
I got iPhone 15 (bought 5 months ago) and my brothers got iphone 14 pro ( bought 1 and half year ago) but I feel like 14 pro is better should I exchange it with him? By adding more 120 dollars?
Well, i cant really see why you would even consider the 14 pro when pretty much all carriers and apple themselves doesnt sell it anymore.
I have iXSmax i want to upgrade what should i buy? 14 pm or 15pm?
15 pm
Very good comparison
And , would you mind creating new comparing factor which gonna be the microphone of the phone . As a one who is addicted to listen to music and watching movies, sound will definitely matters !
Bruh!!! I got a 15 pro! And trust me once u get a hang of the pro motion and other features, there's def no way u would go back to the base variant. The 60hz is just too slow! And feel wise as well! The pro is way ahead!
Hey Dion! Great content! I would honestly get either the 14 Pro or the 15 Pro! The Deep Purple and Titanium Blue are GORGEOUS colors 🙌🏼
But to get the 14 Pro, I would either it from Back Market or Amazon Renewed! But which one would be the better place to get the 14 Pro from?
The only reason the iPhone 14 Pro didn’t have good battery at the end of the day could have been degraded Battery life since it is over a year old now.
answer is depend to the person honestly, mine is 15 Pro because USB C!
all of my work device used 100% USB C except on my previous 12 Pro device, so it's such a nice upgrade to me
@cocoshawarma
I think apple named it's 120hz refresh rate pro motion for a reason. Only reserved for pro models 😭
@mjmerces
it's kinda crazy how base model iphones have achieved this level of maturity, where it does not fall behind the pro lineup in almost any category
that's a great move Apple 🙏🏻
@stephennerus
In my opinion I think the iPhone 14 Pro has more features I.e pro-motion display 120hz, Pro raw, prores and a telephoto lens
The only thing it missing is type c
I feel 14 Pro is a better buy for it pro features
Seems like the telephoto 3rd lens of the pro/pro max isn't worth the extra money, at least within this line up comparison.
i just recently watch this video and early last month cant decide if i choose the 15 or ip 14 pro ….man, you make me feel good choosing the ip 15 now thanks. ❤
good info: but i dont like pros cuz the battery life in a day sucks, but i just bought a 15 pro max, and i was gonna return it for a 15 or 15 plus, which one should i buy, and how many more hours does the plus last tthan the regualr 15? liked and subbed well deserved!
Thanks as always great comparison. 😎👍
Thanks
where can I get the 14 pro now? can't seem to find it brand new anywhere
14 pro not made anymore best option is renewed with 1 year warranty $650 to $900 after tax depending on memory amount . A friend bought 14pro a few weeks ago not a scratch battery 96% Amazon or other renewed sellers
@iturnovel
Although the price difference might seem marginal, opting for the 15 is like unlocking a treasure trove of added features. Personally, I'd lean towards the 15 for its enhanced functionalities. This video is a gem for those seeking guidance. Fantastic work, Dion! Keep shining and innovating
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated!
Iphone 15! Just bought one last Oct and it really is an excellent phone, coming from a XR , used it for 5 yrs! I got the green color and its superb.
hows the battery?
i also have an iphone xr, how is the battery & camera quality ?
Good video. But you should rather tell the prices we have to pay here in Europe and how we get fleeced. iPhone 15 = 950 Euro (1057 $), iPhone 14 Pro = 1300 Euro (1447$). But yes, all manufacturers do that as they can get away with that...
You have a point, but the majority of my viewers relate more to USD
Guys pick the iPhone 15 trust me I have it too and in my opinion the best choice this year to get amongst all other iPhone 15 models.
I wanted to get a 14Pro on the Apple CPO store or new. I couldn’t find any new and none showed up in the CPO store so I just ended up getting a 15Pro.
s23 ultra or iphone 15? I bought the iphone 15 a few days ago and I think the s23 ultra was better
@firerains
Honestly I would’ve chosen the 14 pro because because where I live it cost cheaper then the iPhone 15 and it gives you better display 120 refresh rate, a telephoto camera and the main camera photos are already great, and the hardware looks premium.
my favorite spigen case color is the black one
The spigen white case looks awesome 🔥🔥🔥
make your camera comparison more detailed, with more time dedicated to that chapter.
Congratulations! I like the iPhone 15 in the black color.
I just got the 15 but probably would’ve preferred the 14 pro but I wasn’t able to find any iPhone 14 pros under like 950 so it was cheaper to get the 15. Buy I’m very happy with my 15 so far but it’s only been a few days 😅
Enjoy it!
i dont know if there is that many people who cant see the difference between 120 and 60 hz but for me that is such a big deal that i would choose iphone 13 pro 128 gb over 15 512 gb
Surely the Hz difference makes it obvious that the 14 pro is better?
I have the iPhone 15 plus, & it is great for it has a fantastic battery as well as the Dynamic Island 👍
Does anyone know if the plus sizes phone or max phones worth it, I hated big screens, however they made the plus lighter .so now I’m kinda interested but I love my one handed phone use
@leerobertts
Tbh, 14 Pro is still better in every single way, despite the 15 producing “slightly sharper” 24mp photos. Just turn on “heif max” on the 14 Pro, and you’ll get almost the same result with the 15. Plus, you get a better ultrawide lense and an additional telephoto lense on the 14 Pro, the stainless steel design, 120hz promotion, proraw and prores, and you can get it on a discounted price, depending from where you buy it. If you’re the tyoe of person who just wants an iPhone, then the 15 is more than enough. But if you are someone who use an iPhone for content creation, then go for the 14 Pro.
@mmwansajr
I think the 14 pro is the better buy.
People always rock there phones with a case (like Spigen cases 😏) so the build isn't a biggie.
And the iPhone camera, even with their very very minor upgrade with each new phone, will always be great regardless.
Hope you had an amazing Christmas and have an awesome new year.
Love to see your continuous dedication to your craft.
BIG UP! 💪🏾
Thanks, I had a great year. Happy new year to you

I usually go one generation behind for a lot of tech/OS because most of the time it wasnt ready for mass use and there are bugs and of course, price. I think the end of the video should be "hey if money is no object, buy a gold plated 15! Buy two of them lol!" Ill be going to 14 most likely, unless it doesnt cost vastly less
Hands down, the iPhone 15 is the better buy this year. Unless you get a really good deal on last year's Pro model.
@gus_nrvz
To be honest I would choose the regular iPhone 15. The fact that it has USB-C now (even though its locked at 2.0 speeds) imo is the biggest game changer. Also, the refreshed design with the matte glass back, and better camera sensors makes it the most substantial change to the regular iPhone line-up since the iPhone 12.
The dark case is beautiful
The only thing that iphone 15 would make sense is the smarthdr5 and next gen portrait and the usb c. Iphone 14 still has smart hdr 4 like the 13
