4:56 it was on the iPhone 5 they switched to lightning, so the 4 & 4S also had the 30 pin connector. Important to note though that people had been using the 30 pin connector on the iPods (remember those?) for 10 years prior to lightning being introduced. So it wasn’t really an easier/better transition. At least this time they are switching to a connector that’s already somewhat ubiquitous rather than a totally new proprietary connector
Good point. And with Macs and iPads moving to USB C a while ago, I don't think the transition will be that bad.
@@sooperman12 The most frustrating thing is that Apple had already started. It could have been much smoother if they just selected a year, say 2020 and every new device was type-C. By now people who are in their ecosystem could have universalized hardware running on one charger. This is the most obvious example of Apple going for getting as much money as they could instead of user experience or sustainability. All those lightning connectors are going to be in a landfill in the next 5-10 years or recycled in a costly manner. Dissappointed it took the eu forcing their hand. I'm a big fan their products but this has been a bad look.
@@josiahbrown7258 I 1000% agree but I see it from their side as well. At the end of the day, Apple's a business company. They're out to make money even if it's $15 here and there multiplied by the number of iPhone and base iPad owners. They made a bucket load of money off Lightning cables and adapters. If not for the EU, they would 100% not have switched. Apple's a successful American company not for capitulating to the consumers while knowing what the consumers ultimately want. It's a weird paradox.
I hope that marques does a super well done deep dive into the carbon neutral aspect of Apple. Would love to have some interviews with experts and learn exactly what they are doing. Like he said, there HAS to be some kind of credit they are getting to cut it down .
They're buying credits from companies that plant trees and get carbon credits.
No one care about carbon neutrality
Apple were already clear about this in the presentation? It’s about 25% credits. Not a lot.
It’s simple Apple is pretending that they are doing something about Carbon. Not so much it’s a shell game. Where’s the pea???
Claims aren't facts. It's mostly speculation.
"Hey Alexa," I'm proud to say the past few months of having the 14PM I was rocking no case and screen protector, but when I saw how much it was for the glass repair, I immediately went and put my case back on.
Its just Alexa
“Hey Alexa” I don’t think he watched the whole video
Hey Alexa, when is Marques dropping his iPhone 15 review?
When is Marques dropping his iPhone 15?
I love how Marques is disturbed by putting Alexa in everything. It’s a leaf blower… why? 😂
The perplexed look had me dying! lol
can’t wait for the review
Great review! Waiting for your thoughts of the standard models...
There's a reason why Samsung has stuck with a 3x as their 'regular' telephoto lens, it's just a really useful focal length to start with that also happens to kick in just as the cropping from the main sensor falls apart giving you decent zoom up to 5x. 5x gets you closer with digital zoom, but you just don't need those deeper digital zooms very often unless it's for a snapshot. And going up from 15x to 25x is rarely going to be the make-or-break in that regard.
Apple just really needs to bite the bullet and admit Samsung got this one right: 3x is an amazing day to day focal length, and adding a fourth camera allows you to get really weird and crazy with those deeper zooms that are rarely going to produce a printable photo anyway.
Yes indeed. 3x gets you into traditional portrait angles of view. And really, if anyone regularly needs good results from much longer than that, perhaps they should be using a real camera.
funny thing that just noone says: ITS NOT OPTICAL ZOOM! its Marketing
Repair tech here: back glass damage used to be so much because the back glass was fused to the enclosure and required what is a called a “rear system repair” where basically the old phone’s display and rear camera unit are put into the body of a brand new phone. So it was $549 because other than the rear camera and display, you were basically getting a new phone
Can confirm, the 15 Pro Max is great for my kid’s soccer games. Got some great shots last weekend. Didn’t need to bring my Sony mirrorless.
Try the 10x of s23 ultra, its even better
@@ennkhaanshutter lags on s23 and s23 ultra
@@ennkhaanit’s about the same unless you are in broad daylight. Even then the sharpness is about the same.
just bought the 15 Pro Max too, gonna test it out at the concert in November and see how the recording, and camera features work
What kind of comment is this? Any camera is good for a soccer game
In regards to the back glass repair costs, I believe on the iPhone 14 the $549 replacement cost for damaged back glass Apple replaces the whole phone for that cost. With the $199 repair cost for the iPhone 15 I believe they are just replacing the rear glass.
I’ve wondered this myself in regards to AppleCare+ which I always purchase anyway since I’ve actually lost iPhones (twice!) in the last decade and those glass backs are wayyyyy more fragile than the front which is really sturdy these days.
They replace the back glass and the Magnetic charging pad I believe. There’s a video out of someone taking 2 15 pro max’s apart and swapping the motherboard and battery to see what apple restricts as “unrepairable”
That’s not true I’ve heard if you choose to do it online they just ship you a refurb no questions asked
They don't replace the glass. Tbey basically replace the hole back side of the phone. You can't just replace the rear glass.
If Apple is charging $600 just for the case. Then that means the stuff inside is the the rest if the price?
Nope!!!! Just Apple overcharging because idiots will pay it.
The 4 had the 30 pin connector.
I’ve been using my 15 Pro Max nearly nonstop since 7am today (it is now 4pm) and I am at 75% battery. I haven’t watched as many videos as I normally do in a day but I have had music on all day on top if my normal work stuff.
I was at a concert (standing in the 6th row) It was great. I switched between the 2x zoom for the whole band and the 5x zoom to only record a certain member of the band.
Could the camera zoom quality improve over time thanks to software optimizations?
Waiting for your review on iPhone ❤
Isn’t the optical like from 1x to 2x. 0.6 to 0.9x is digital on a 12MP ultra wide?
I did a graphic recently for a group where the optical like qualities were: 0.5x , 1x-2x, and then either 3x or 5x depending on the phone.
Can you please talk about the 80% charge limit feature in your review please? I’m curious if you think it is a gimmick or will it actually help improve battery health long term.
80% is the optimal level for maximising battery health. I think for everything? laptops, phones, watches etc. So its kinda great for them to introduce it because for people who buy 1 phone and stick with it for 4-5 years it will give them an extra year or 2
@@zedrakemy iPhone 11 Pro Max is at 79% max charge now. It also had this feature. Battery life is still good. Overall solid performance.
@@FELLCHARONGAMES bro i never used it and my max charge also is 79% its horrible
Back in my old office there are always people asking around for iphone charger and android people can just charge our phones with the laptop charger which uses usb-c port
Question: If the main lens has native focal length of 24mm (1.0x), 28mm (1.2x) and 35mm (1.5x), why can’t we use the 35mm feature and pixel bin to get an effective 3x optical zoom at 12MP?
This would help close the gap on pro max between 2x and 5x.
Something isn’t right. Can someone explain?
that's what it's doing i believe
Because digital crop (no matter how it's done or how clever it is) is never the same or as good as optical.
In addition, longer focal lengths of optical, give a compression effect between fire/mid/background. Even if you had the same detail and resolution in a 10x digital vs optical, the entire feel of the photo would be different.
i'm the same! i want the x5 so bad, but i'm afraid that the X3 will get trash ughhh i take lot of photos in the mountains and the x3 is ideal for that but when running with friends or wildlife x5 will be perfect! i mean occasional but that's the best part of this zoom the occasional opportunities
Its not native 28mm or 35mm. They are digitally binning the 48MP in a different way to get those crops to make it look like those focul lengths. For it to be native they would need moving parts in there with numerous lenses, just like a zoom on a real camera.
The lightening cable port on my iPhone 10-XR stopped working and the remaining power was draining ... time to buy a wireless charger! I'd been thinking about getting a wireless charging pad for my car - and it finalized the decision there too. So ... now I can stall for a while about a decision to get the iPhone 15 and which one to get.
I went and pulled out my iPhone 5 again today. That is one of the best designed phones out there next to the HTC One M8 and Nexus 4. I wish the Nexus 4 glass back would make a comeback.
Nexus 4 is still one of my top 5
For 15 battery tests, did you disable the always-on lockscreen? I think that must cost a lot of battery...
The biggest difference from the 14 pro that I notice is something I thought would matter very little. The curved edges. Obviously not a reason to upgrade alone but that paired with the lighter weight feels great
Yeah, i think the best upgrade is the fact that it’s lighter and nicer to hold. 14 Pro looks cool but super impractical phone to hold imo.
9:45 I know it means carrying more stuff and having to mount it, but I often wish they’d just put one killer lens and sensor. Then, have a magnetic, screw-on, or bayonet (space issues?) mount to allow nice, clean external lenses for different focal lengths. I still have a one-lens iPhone, the SE 2. I use a Xenvo wide angle clip on at home for TH-cam videos. I know it’s a pain when out and about, but
I’m rocking the Black Titanium, and don’t regret it. All the other colors look great though!
Don't drop it without a case.
Hey Alexa: I believe they are referring to the manufacturing process and the shipment from production to the Apple store when they refer to carbon natural.
It has nothing to do with the power it uses once it’s purchased. They explained a good portion of how it’s achieved on the Apple keynote event.
I listen to music and podcasts all day at work from 6 to 3:30. By 7:00pm I’m at 60%. Not bad. Also got some amazing night shots of the stars and Starlink.
Which model do you have?
@@turo302pro max probably
For anyone wondering..yes it's impossible for an apple watch individually to truly be carbon neutral. What Apple is saying is they've offset the expected carbon usage of the device with their own sustainability projects like planting trees etc.
Carbon neutral is a buzz word. John Oliver did a good documentary on it.
It’s a good enough step in the right direction
Don’t forget iPod introduced the 30-pin connector in October 2001. The iPhone 5 introduced the lightning connector in September 2012. That was 11 years of 30-pin. This has been 11 years of lightning, but it is true that we have way more accessories for the iPhone lightning than we had for the original 30-pin.
Question: I noticed Marques wears his watch on his right wrist, growing up I was told it must be worn on your left wrist. Is this true or not?
4 had 30 pin. I remember because I saw they were switching to the new connector on the 5 and I waited to get that.
how about the iPhone 15s heating uo did you hear about that ?
5:20 i’m fairly confident iPhone 5 was the first lightning connector .. in 2012 right ?
Went on my first trip with the new iPhone and definitely need USB C to A adapters between airports and cars. I literally choose a rental car based on if it have USB c or not 🤣 Prior I always used lighting to USB A.
Andrew's giggle be like "let's wait till the pixel 8 pro gets released "😃
“Welcome to Apple. We strive to become better each year with our innovation” (pronounced in Tim Cook )
All of this to say pretty good upgrade this year (from my iPhone 8😂)
I’ve come from the iPhone 7 and I miss it. Personally preferred the size, 3D Touch, it was very robust and weirdly the torch is better!
@@curtis24-7there is always the iphone SE 3
Also came from an 8. Yes, I still miss the Home button, and it’s a bit big/heavy. I need to put a little mark on the case to easily know which way is up. But it was certainly the right time to upgrade. Let’s see if this lasts until the 21.
Every so often the design on his shirt aligns with the microphone.
I’m hoping to see a case that incorporeal spaces for spare microSD cards while you shoot 4k 60fps with the SD card adapter.
They switched to lightning in 2012, which was iPhone 5. iPhone 4 and 4S still had 30 pin.
Please talk about the problem with 15 battery problem and hight temperature the phones are getting
iPhonedo seems to say it’s due to the Instagram app
Hey Siri, the problem with the longer focal length cameras on many phones is that they also have a smaller sensor--so that to some degree you get a narrower field of view rather than a larger image; which means there's not nearly as much advantage as it sounds like.
Ok Google,mann thats some cool improvising you did there laughing emoji
If the back glass is easy to replace. Get the titanium + black back glass 👌🏻
I have the 15 pro max and the it’s not connecting with my car which has apple car play. I have a type two connection as the ground connection. I spoke to apple about it they offered I should use there dongle which they are sold out of.
Probably already mentioned at this point, but lightning wasn’t released until iPhone 5 in 2012. iPhone 4 and 4s still used a 30 pin.
The amount of work you guys have put in this podcast is crazy. Are there directors cueing the talk time and all?
Just curious do you pay for new Iphone , new watch Marquez ?
You guys know full well you can’t really get proper battery life estimates until the second update for iOS and after all the apps have had opportunity to update with fixes for the new os and new models.
The first two to three weeks there is so much background work happening on device and yes it kills the battery. 🔋
Hey Alexa, What's Up Marques 😂😂😂
Got into my car and realized I needed a usb-a to usb-c cable to connect my phone to CarPlay but thankfully I got one the night before with my external ssd
Regarding battery life, are apple users still closing all their apps all the time?
As I’ve said in other forums. If Apple truly cares about the environment then they wouldn’t release a new phone every year. Nothing is ever truly carbon neutral.
Sounds like you’re telling them to fold up their entire company, and all the jobs that they create for the sake of the environment. I care about the environment very much but we gotta be reasonable no? At least be appreciative for the progress.
They're tryna keep that ESG score high!
@@TristenHernandeznot really. It’s saying don’t claim you’re carbon neutral. People can monetize anything. Anything for profit. Including the environment. Now you can trade it as currency to fit environmental standards
@@SingaporeUntoldwhy not? It can happen. Of course they would need proof but still. Not impossible
@@TristenHernandez 😂 really fold up the entire company? They can sell a product for more than one year. They can push releases to every two years. But you’re catering to stock holders and an over valued company as is. Apple is going to lay people off regardless of the release cycle when economic downturns happen. It’s the nature of the beast. There are tons of jobs out there that pay well, but no one wants to do them. The tech industry is just flashy and cool. Too many people in it already and are forced from job to job with no stability.
"I've been testing this phone for about 2 weeks now" - Classic MKBHD hahahah
I defiantly think iPhone should have 4 cameras next and have all the option and not have a choosing one or the other.
So all the focal lengths are really good .
Apple don't like perfect symmetry in the style mind.
Even with two they are diagonal from each other.
I think the fact it's less stronger than the iPhone 14 pro the and the titanium is looks worse quicker, it seems like they have down graded other things and the back glass might be down graded also and why it's now cheaper to replace
5x is great for photographers... is it fixaperture ?
Carbon Neutral is just compensating the equivalent CO2 mass by counter measures like green energy/planting trees/investing in carbon capture. It’s not literally that each individual step is designed to be carbon neutral. That would be impossible to do
Also that Apple has been building high power solar stations and buying wind power. Those solar power plants produce a lot more power than Apple uses from them, so it goes into the power grid. It’s negative energy use.
What about selfies on the pro? I think they look terrible. They look ok when taking them but then in gallery they seem to use so much oversharpening that any face look terrible with all the pores, lines etc. that are not visible in real life. Any way to make the face a little smoother without post edit?
Has it overheated?
What’s the intro and outro song?
The iPod it wasn’t until iPod touch2- 3 generation was lighting cable and the version I had was pre camera it didn’t have back camera
I received my titanium 15 Pro Max. Had to get the 1TB memory to get it in a day. I don’t use cases so I Love the feel of the phone in my hand. Going from !3 Pro Max I’m stoked to have always on display .
You better use a case on the 15! Testing proves they scratch easier than any other iPhone!
What’s your take on the concerns regarding the durability of iPhone 15 pro Max as it’s the first iPhone which failed the durability test of jerryrigs? And the other issues pointed out by other TH-camrs like overheating issues etc…
hes not gonna say anything bad tho, he is just sponsor by apple now I would say
So a friend of mine had his back glass break on his iphone 14 Pro Max. He forked over the repair cost because the phone was so vital to his work he needed a working one the same day. The cost is so massive because they couldn’t repair it, you’d just be shelling ou t the cost t for an Apple refurbished replacement unit. You’re essentially buying an Apple refurb quality phone like directly from their refurb site. The cost is less because you hand your old phone in, and you get a 3 month warranty instead of the typical 1 year. You essentially did get a new frame, new battery, etc. out of it.
With these repairable backs, it sounds like they’re legit just going to keep your phone parts as is, and repair the back piece as expected. The cost is much less, but if you had a dying battery or something, you’ll eventually have to refork for that too.
Basically, like they say in the video, case your phone if you’re worried/clumsy, or get AppleCare/check if your credit card has the same type of coverage built in. Mine does, so I don’t need to buy AppleCare.
Hey Alexa. I’ve started noticing a definite performance drop with my 13 Pro when it gets to around 25/20% 😢
what’s the point of adapters when the phone comes with a charge cable 🤔
Is this a reupload? I feel like I’ve seen this before
The usbC transition is gonna be easy. The 30pin to lightning cable was a big deal only because people was used to the 30pin due to the iPod.
The 0 emission statement. I’m thinking they have calculated approximately how much electricity the average watch uses through its lifecycle. The probably have a pretty good picture of the transportation emissions as they have transported things globally for quite some time. Then they calculate an average if this and then add a margin on top.
I want to say I remember that all Apple stores etc runs on green energy
My base 15 ran ~12 hours on the first full charge.
I had 7 lightning cables when I got my 15 pro, 🤷♂️ kept 2 for my AirPods but the rest I gave away
Is the batterie consumption is related to the IOS bug that makes iPhone heat a lot?
Maybe better in a future IOS update? (Just a guess)
Whats the point with the over heating??
Did some one notice this problem??
This video shows me that my 4 years old iPhone 11 Pro Max is still good enough to roll for 1 more year. Thank you!
Marques is not an Alexa fan !! that reaction was hillarious 😂
Can you comment on Jerry Rig's testing which shows up the IPhone 15 Pro Max as being very frail with the back glass shattering and a test in Australia where they found it actually not as durable as the iPhone 14 Pro? Max. There's issues of how strong the titanium really is and why the backglass shatters so easily. There's also overheating.
If you remember Jerry even said that happened on the 15 pro max, because how stiff the frame is now. If you purposefully press your Pro Max you’re going to break it so just don’t do that
Hugh Jeffrey's review on the iPhone is interesting
These tests are nonsense. All phones will break under the conditions used in these tests. And when they do them, each time they’re doing it a bit differently, so you can’t compare tests. Seriously anybody using any phone should use a case if they have any feeling at all that they might drop or smack their phones against anything.
@@melgrossexcept JerryRig’s test was pushing the middle with two thumbs. Which is possible if you sat down with the phone in your back pocket
@@shirodad I see people with phones in their back pockets all the time. It’s been years since people broke phones that way. It was a brief issue and then manufacturers fixed the problem and we haven’t seen it again. If you do something really stupid with your phone, you will break it. Period. None of this testing is done for anything other than entertainment. It also gives everybody a chance to diss other’s phones as they will all break.
You are all awesome!
My battery on my Pro seems on par with the 14 when I got it, been 14 hours and I’m at 46 with a decent amount of use, including several TH-cam videos and listening to music
Same here, after a few scary (ie battery level dropping fast) days, my 15 Pro now easily lasts through a whole day.
iPhone 5 thru 14 had the Lightning connector.
No overheating issue or the very fragile back glass compare to past generation? Why not addressing those issue for new buyer?
Keep seeing this catchy thumbnails like there will be some actual product showcasing and explaining but fail fail fail. This long talks make me fall to sleep, I find them interesting, but eventually fall asleep x)
You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance! 😜
Doesn’t the new iPhone always have battery issues until it gets a good update?
Hey Alexa… Tell Marques that this episode was refreshing
Does the camera on the iphone 15 pro max suck?
Marques have you noticed the iphone 15pro max 5x lens usually uses the main lens just crops in 😢
I also notice if you cover the main camera, it messes up the exposure of the 5x lens whenever the phone decides to use the 5x lens . I feel scammed slightly 😂
There won’t be much of a cable reckoning as many are holding onto their older lightning iPhones since the 15 launch was such a letdown. Waiting for all screen iPhone.
Still waiting for the space grey apple watch ultra to upgrade!
Most important question: Marques, what's that great t-shirt you're wearing? Where can I buy it?
My Alexa was going bonkers during the last part of this video when everyone was discussing Alexa on the Iwatch
Please talk about the bugs in iOS 17 update that is eating up phone storage. The bugs from Apple continue to annoy
How many people are going to snap that center piece off inside the usb c connector on the 15 trying to smash the lightning connector in there
The glass back has got to be worse this year because it's one piece, right? If the back Glass breaks, won't the camera cover break as well?
That could explain the numerous cases we are seeing of the back glass breaking, but it cannot be this bad, can it? Aren’t there other phones with replaceable back glass which do not crash like this
I’ve been waiting for Marques’ review of the 15 Pro before buying one, but these back glass issues are making me question whether I should wait for the 16, when hopefully Apple has fixed issues using the new material
@@MayurMakhijathen the’ll be another issue with that. Life’s too short. Go for it! (Providing your budget will allow)
The back glass has always been one piece.
@@melgross not according to the apple event.
Syncing data & apps from the cloud (iCloud, Google) can use more power than normal on a new phone. Just say’n.
The $500 price tag is not too horrible when you consider it brings a new logic board & battery too. Basically a new phone except the display
Except you don’t really want to buy a new phone, do you?
Dude with the addlibs like takeoff
Was this re-uploaded because I'm 100% sure I've seen this episode
Don’t forget about all of the iPods with 30 pin connectors - that was a lot of devices 😅
I’d like to ask a question! Hopefully somebody can answer. So I set my phone to live listen cause my son has fallen asleep in my bedroom and I went outside to talk to my husband and while I was turning to walk back over my AirPods I heard someone say “Do you hear something? That sound? Sssshhhhh.” Needless to say I raced back to my room thinking someone had broken in but all was quiet. After I explained what happened to my concerned husband I walked back to the spot I was standing in and I could hear light music under lots of like white noise. Has anyone else’s AirPods picked up someone else’s conversation?
When will battery life be a big selling point? Most people would prefer much better battery life over faster processor
Apple should do a recycling program where you bring your lightning cable and can exchange for a usbc or can exchange for a small charging brick, or just give you a high five idk
You guys should read about carbon credits.
