It's as much of a camera as it is a phone. So much optical range to be always at your disposal!

Entertaining and complete. Thank you! This is the keeper. Heading into a months-long K8 school video undertaking, this guide is a treasure. At 81 I no longer have the patience to sift through umpteen videos to gather all I need to know. Here it is in one clear and detailed package.
Agreed - and I’m only 58 : )
A sprout! Still wearing short pants? I was at your age, still am. Cheers and best of success.
I'm glad you found it helpful and thank you so much for leaving these amazingly kind words!
ZY, you'll never go off the rails if you continue as an enthusiastic advocate for the CUs (Confused Users). Cheers. :)
What was the picture money making app
Moved from the 13PM to the 15PM. So glad I did! As a photographer/filmmaker I am bowled over by the advances now available to me.
I'm actually thinking about switching from 13PM, but maybe should I wait for 16? I'm so torn 😩
@@Sebastian-yq8ezjust get it. Coz when 16 is released youll just wait for 17 and so on
Am waiting for the Apple 16PM. Coming soon.
Da stimme ich zu, aber ProRes ist Spielerei, da die Datenmenge zu gigantisch ist und man entsprechende Hardware benötigt um es zu schneiden. Für ein Handy ist das grundsätzlich zu viel Aufwand. Eine Panasonic S5 kostet gebraucht unter 1.000€ und kann 4K‘60‘fps, die ist dem iPhone locker überlegen. Noch fragen?.
@@Sebastian-yq8ez13 pm better than 15 where you can maximize 3x optical lens where 15 pmax uses only 3x digital zoom and no night mode in portrait mode in front cam
This is one of the best if not (THE BEST) review for iPhone's cameras. Most of the reviews of iPhone's Cameras are just reading the spec sheet. Love it and I just subscribed to this channel. Keep up.
Thank you so much!
Really good in depth review you touched so many points no other reviews did! I saw how much of a big upgrade it was when I upgraded from my 14 pro but a lot of this I didn’t know even though I think I watched most reviews and comparisons on TH-cam! Good job!
This was fantastic! You’ve a new subscriber 💪🏾 some of these things I didn’t even know and I have a 15 Pro Max myself!
This video made me upgrade my 14 pro max to the 15 pro max. I am a visual journalist and i rely alot on filming on my phone. I thought the apple log feature was a gimmick until i watched your video. Thank you so much for sharing in such a concise and entertaining manner!
Huawei Ultra wird noch besser.
That’s why hate reviews readings on paper and they compare that. Apple and Samsung etc know the difference even paper number looks small. Using it really is different
That review was just exceptional ,,really exceptional ,now I will have to go back and watch it 100s of times to absorb every thing . Thank you ZY Cheng
You got me motivated to use my phone camera more and for creative photography and videography!
This is exactly the video I was searching for. Thanks for the great work mate!
Great video, Zy! I was always wondering why, if I shot in PHOTO mode, sometimes it came out in PORTRAIT and sometimes, in a regular photo whether there was a face or animal or none. You made it very clear by saying that if you tap to focus and you’re in the right lens, it comes out as a PORTRAIT. Thanks.
I could listen to you all day. Great pace to the video and covered all the things I wanted to know about the camera system.
Thank you. I needed this so badly.
Let's wait for the Apple version 16.. and let's see what they've got.
The 15 pro max would be zooming in on the main sensor for anything in between 1x and 5x - making the 3x on the pro better than the 3x on the max. Do you think this is a good reason to buy the pro rather than the pro max?
Um so we’re gonna ignore that clean transition in the beginning with the phone color, that was neat
EDIT: I just realized why I couldn't convert my Photos into Portrait mode. You have to be far away enough for the iPhone to capture depth information. When I'm far away enough, I tap on the object. A small case "f" will appear in the bottom left area of the screen, telling me that depth information is being captured. I tap to take the picture. Then in edit mode, the Portrait choice will appear.
By the way, I upgraded from the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the 15 Pro. I am impressed with the clean footage I get from using Apple Log. I never expected that. Now, I can see people using the iPhone 15 Pro for filmmaking now more than ever.
Nice review. May I know which ios version were you using at the time of the review? I was told 17.3 beta takes slightly brighter shots. Tks.
Awesome camera review!. Finally someone covered the 5x camera switching when a close object is introduced… I was very confused about that. Would be nice if they added a toggle to not switch like with macro.
A toggle similar to the one for Macro would be great!
@@zy_chengUnd der Action Button sollte bunt sein - wie der Apple Watch Ultra oder der Apple Watch in der LTE Version wo ein runde roter Kreis 🔴in der Schaltfläche ist.
Great video. I learned more from this here video than I have watching 100 others. And you have the perfect voice for speaking.
Never owned an iPhone until yesterday, got the 15 pro max. Love it so far. Thanks for the video
Very good review on the new iPhone. I like the way you aim for the details in all ways regarding the PHOTOGRAPHY. Cheers !!!!
Great Video! I looked a lot of iPhone 15 Pro Max reviews. But this is by a large margin the best camera 15 Pro Max review! Doesn't only stays on the surface a reads the spec list, but really makes a deep dive into the features and benefits.... Apple should hire you to present the new camera features 😀. Will get it next year, coming from a 13 Pro.... you make my waiting a lot harder! Thanks for the great review!
_what I love about this camera especially the 48 megapixels is that I can take a picture of a very large scene and cropping pieces of art out of the very large scene that I like and still keep the details with no digital over sharpening, this is perfect for raw photo photography_
Any reason to choose the Pro Max over the regular Pro?
Very enlightening ZY! Revealing the secret sauce of the new iPhone 15 Pro Max. Just got one by the way!😄
Amazing! Enjoy your fantastic new phone!
I had an Iphone 11 pro for four years so it was time for a change. I opted for an 15 pro max. I've had it for a few days now. I have set the phone up to take ProRAW max and edit them on an imac using Adobe Photoshop 2024. I have taken a few shots in all sorts of conditions, sun, shade, dull weather etc. I an underwhelmed with the image quality in fact I'm disappointed. If you are seriously considering one...Try before you buy !!!
mans voice sounds so eloquent that im actually having a fun time listening
Great review! Thorough and interesting!
3:58 was wondering why it didn’t work on mine… turns out it doesn’t work with proraw…
1 question buddy should we choose Most Compatible or High Efficiency settings?
"I'm having difficulty optimizing the camera settings on my iPhone 15 Pro Max for the best picture quality. Could you please share the recommended settings to ensure I get the most out of the camera? I appreciate your assistance
As a ip15pro max user amazing review phone camera is absolutely amazing
I’ve always been an iPhone user and I don’t want to go android, should I still be sightly considering the new S24 or can I worrilessly go with the 15 PM?
What’s that app he’s talking about? Something like Hal light?

The 120mm telephoto lens is the main reason I want to upgrade lol
The question is, (for me) should I wait for iPhone 16 or should I change my iPhone 13 pro for a 15 pro max now?
Wait my dude, the cameras always gets better might as well wait a few months more
It would be nice (essential) to set time, diafragm and iso. Is there a ‘manual’ app for it??
Hello is there a night mode in 15 promax using frontcam portrait mode?
this is the best tech channel for me rn
Hey! Your pics in the video alteady edited or these nature iphone photos?
I got the 14 Pro Max. I’m Debating If I should Upgrade 🤔
Excellent review - thorough and entertaining!
Great insights about the latest iPhone cameras. I’m have the 13 pro max and can’t wait for next year iPhone 16 so I can get this one for a cheaper price. iPhones are getting so much better I even started shooting video on the 13 pro max instead of my full-frame mirrorless camera.
Great review!
So, to summarize, the biggest differences between the 14 and the 15 are software based?
May I ask a question.
If I enable the proraw for some landscape shots do I have to go back in to settings and disable it again to go back to shooting 24megapixel?
I don’t really understand what the HEIF and RAW 12 mean.
Another brilliant video Zy! Thank you so much.
Great review, seems like a capable device. However, you forgot to mention its downsides. Like, for example, how there’s no focal length option in between 48mm and 120mm
Awesome Cheng ... Truly informative.
Is there a problem with the front camera? Blur?
Thanks for this awesome video about especially my favorite feature ProRes Log,🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼
Do you also feel like this year's iPhone is getting really, really close to being a real professional camera?
No, not at all.
Well said, nice pace, easy to follow/. Thanks!
A very high quality video indeed. Would have loved to see some human portrait shots too. Could you please also review the S24 Ultra camera?
Just found your channel. Really impress on how good your video is. Love ur accent too. Done sub from USJ19
Can we shoot RAW in all the cameras?
Great intel, thanks!
@15:18 was the left the iphone 14 pro max cuz the comparison has both labeled iphone 15 pro max.. also ty for the review.. good insights!
That's correct! My mistake and you've got a sharp eye ;)
Are the default photos (not proraw) still oversharpened digital crap?
Tolles Video und super gemacht. Als iPhone 15 Pro Max Nutzer warte ich auf das Huawei P70 pure Ultra ❤
I really wish they would give us a “pro” photo and video mode like Samsung has. I know Apple would do it perfectly and it would be nice to not need third party apps.
4K 60 Cinematic would be a welcome addition as well.
Hey, thanks for sharing. I upgrade iPhone usually is for the camera feature, but however I noticed that the standard camera isn't that fantastic as when I tried to shoot a close up photo without the macro lens, I didn't get the bokeh effect, which I managed to do that with iPhone 13 pro max. And now I always have to remember to switch to Portrait mode and always have to "move further away". Kinda disappointed actually or perhaps that I still learning about the new phone hidden features.
How to access macro lens and when to use?
why my 15pm photos look grainy in moderately lit room? and the resolution is worse than any 10y old phone.
You should try the Blackmagic camera apps for the iPhone. Pretty good Pro modes for iPhones IMO.
Still ill wait for the regular Pro to have a 5x before buying an iPhone. It's definitely a better size phone for the occasion.
Watching this on my new 15 pro mx😊
what is the max VIDEO zoom of ip15 pro max? thanks
So informative.. thnx bruh.. keep it up 🫶✨
Great, to the point review!
I despise big phones which need two hands to operate (got small hands) so I wish the optics were identical in the 15 Pro.
It's a pity they have to differentiate them like that. This has to stop from the next iteration. Period.
Great vlog mate ❤
Great video as always. Just a little error in the texts at 15:15 :)
Thanks for spotting that! I watched it a good few times to check for errors before publishing, and that somehow slipped through more than once 😂 Luckily the difference is apparent enough to speak for itself
Very well made video
Thats some explanation!
I really appreciate Apple for optimizing the software so it will yield better results despite of similar hardware
However, software improvements are one thing, while hardware improvements are on the different league.
I prefer to wait for the next iPhone to enjoy the benefits of both improved hardware and improved software at the same time.
I upgraded from the 14PM mainly for the titanium being a lighter weight form last year and man that really makes this phone great holding the hand as someone who doesn’t really use cases anymore. I have to admit though, while I wouldn’t upgrade just for the 5x zoom, I find myself really using this feature and oddly found myself in more situations that really benefited from this upgrade. The 15PM is a great phone.
Great video! Just subscribed 😊
What about Google pixel 8 pro????
this is gold !!!
Hi :) You make such great videos. I bought a mint condition 512GB iPhone 14 Pro Max a couple of months ago. And it's a great phone. But when I thought about transferring Apple ProRes videos off it it's too slow with the lightning port and thought it doesn't have enough storage. So I sold it and bought an actually new 1TB iPhone 14 Pro Max replacement phone a couple of weeks ago. And that was even better. But a week ago my ISP had a $500 off offer for new iPhone 15s, all the different models, if you sign up for their mobile service. And this was on a $15 monthly contract you can opt out of and have the phone unlocked after 60 days. So how could I pass that up? :) So I bought a 512GB iPhone 15 Pro Max for $899. I'll sell the 1TB 14 Pro Max. It was out for delivery today but somehow didn't get delivered. So I'll get it tomorrow. Looking forward to all the great new features you've described here and some others you couldn't get to in one video. Off to watch the log video next. Thanks. 👍🙂📱
That must be US $ right?
@@whisper2441 Yes all $US
Nice sennheiser
Vivo x100 Pro solo.
I really recommend you buy this phone and do a comparison.
most people dont care about that. 8 out of 10 best selling smartphone model globally are all iPhones...1 from Samsung worth 199USD. None from Vivo. Not worth his time and effort. There are other vloggers who may review that though
Good review. Better than the one who thinks he's the Boss.
Quite a good camera on the phone. However, it is too expensive for such characteristics.
you make the best review withou bulls**t
Effing ridiculous to buy a new MAX iPhone every year for well over $1000 a pop. He's right about the 15 MAX features being more than evolutionary, but enthusiasts already have another primary camera and those scraping buy will do best to make the most of what they already own. This is from someone who would have held onto their 7 for another year for the 15 MAX if he knew it would have still been supported w/updates, but oh well...
Why in the world would you zoom 5x in 60p in the first place? 60p is for slow motion
A use case could be slo mo of a distant object
perfect 👌
There is no phone that I’m aware of that takes worse low light photos than iPhone 15 Pro Max, particularly indoors. I like going to museums and art galleries a lot, I don’t expect the pics to professional, but at least, usable. They are not! I have worked with the settings, have watched dozens of tutorials, nothing helps. I’ve given up trying and take a $199 camera with me to get half decent pics at events, galleries and parties etc. It’s really disappointing as the iPhone takes fabulous pics outside in natural light.
Did you expect a 1/4 inch sensor to take good low light photos?
Agree terrible low light
Camera review but you show your face more than the camera or sample camera output. 🙄
😮
phewtows
Amazed at all these reviews, a real photographer never uses a mobile phone, no matter how many gimmicks they come with they are small sensor cameras, a real photographer uses full frame sensors in dSLR's which are light years ahead in quality and capabilities.
Fat bird ads before video starts🤮

Stone ages phone with potato camera
Weirdo! 😅😅
iPhone camera 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it’s the biggest joke of the century. IPhone has the shittiest camera. Throw it in the bin 😂 5 year old mid range Android offering even from Vivo offers better cameras than latest iPhones
This guys brain is broken lol
