[iPHONE 15 PRO MAX - IF I SWITCHED]
They won’t make it mini, they won’t make it fold, and they still won’t make that logo glow without some hardcore hackery … but survey says that most of you don’t care one bit: you’re gonna keep buying iPhones no matter what Apple doesn’t do to it.
As you probably know, that’s not me - as Data says, “I am an Android.” And I promise, I’m not gonna draw this out into a season-long “will he/won’t he” string of engagement bait episodes. The iPhone doesn’t fold, and I’m all-in on foldables. That’s that.
But even die-hard Droids have to deal with the data: the iPhone just keeps gaining momentum, at home and abroad. And after a week with the 15 Pro and Pro Max, I’ve found five features that would make the transition even easier - if I switched.

[CLARIFICATION] This is not my full review, folks! I know it has many of the hallmarks of one, but I haven't yet had time to get a good handle on things like battery life, call quality, etc (and I'm having a lot of fun testing the new Voice Isolation feature). So if you're writing to say that I forgot something - that's because it's not a review. Stay tuned! 🙏

Can't remember if you touch on this in your other reviews, but could you specifically talk about how true to life the photos are when comparing them? Like which ones overblow the colours or are too dark in certain areas. The photos you take are great and varied so well compared to some other reviewers' photos that I see. You's make for great references when determining which phone's camera I prefer. It could also just be they are closer to pictures I'd want to take, but not sure. Really considering switching to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, my first iPhone since the iPhone 4S so apologies if I'm being a bit overzealous in asking for this.

I think one thing missed here is why in the US Apple is becoming a monopoly (I'm not so sure there's really a competition going on since then you would have seen riskier moves). Vast majority of people are not shopping around or even watch tech reviews. They just buy what family and friends have and Apple does everything to keep their system closed as much as possible to any other brands. Second branding, no one is waiting hours in line for a new model, but they did again for this phone.

Apple seems like it doesn’t care about the competitions latest foray like the foldables and all gimmicks thats aren’t even fully realized. Love the concept of vertical foldables. Still hate the crease. I don’t know how apple would solve that tbh. That’s what I like about them because they are concerned about things like that. When “bezel to bezel” screens became a thing for android, I hated the “chin.” When apple came up with their version of the full display with the iphone X, I looooved that they went with the symmetrical bezels all around by engineering a folded bottom panel. The “chin” still exists on mid to cheap androids to this day. That’s why I love the nothing phones over any foldable because of their attention to detail as well.

@@seabedrockunless it thinks a technology is a sure bet, Apple rarely is a first adopter. Rather a wait and see adopter. Foldables…just aren’t there yet from a practicality standpoint of everyday use. Most ordinary users don’t replace their phone for several years, and foldables just don’t have that longevity now. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple unveils one in the coming years after it thinks they have perfected it, or the competition has. Until then….they have absolutely no reason to.

@@seabedrock One of the things Apple is known for is that generally speaking they won’t release a product until it’s amazing. So when it comes to things like foldables I expect Apple won’t release one until they can figure out how to make it as durable as a normal phone and without the crease.

majority of the users could not tell which camera is better the android or the iphone? me personally, I don't care too much. I don't use my phone's camera too much. I would still prefer the android and will not switch until apple adds the back button and improves iphone's customizations... I few years back I struggled switching from an android phone to an iphone, mainly because I felt like using a cellphone when I switched to an iphone. All the things that I could do in an Android got reduced when I used an iphone.. Also the lack of back button was annoying it's hard to go backwards..

It's even deeper than that. You can chain multiple actions together from across a variety of apps (including third party ones), like instantly take a photo, crop it to a square, and email it to a friend. Or turn on dark mode, open Netflix on your Apple TV, turn off your smart lights, set your phone to silent, and send a WhatsApp to a friend that you're ready to start the movie. You can include "if, then, otherwise" functions that change what the shortcut does based on the time of day, your location, which focus mode you have on, the volume of your phone, or any other number of factors. You can even go as far as writing snippets of code to run.

It is a rare industry that after 15 years is still innovative. What else can we shove into a candy bar phone? It’s a mature market and the sea change of foldable has not yet gained traction to make it rise above a niche market versus the 1.4 billion candy bar phones sold worldwide yearly. I do not expect it ever will as it will mature much faster than candy bar phones despite Samsung holding out to draw out the process.

You always give great objective views on aspects (like camera comparison) that make me as a viewer feel your investment in honest feedback. This was definitely the best iPhone 15 review I've watched. The best part is the insight into the need for real competition. Well done Mr Mobile

One feature that would be cool to have reviewed is the microphone, see, sometimes I like to record rehearsals or parts of concerts, and most microphones would saturate sound and maybe you'll get a video with senseless noise on it, I would love to see which phones are the best on this issue, recording live events, for parties, weddings, concerts, stuff like that, crowded and with a lot of background noise, what options could be the best? thanks for your content, Michael, I learn a lot by watching your videos!

Oh definitely! There's actually a new voice isolation mode that I've been testing. This isn't the full review (lots of confusion about this due to my headline I think) so I'll try to call out the mic when I get around to the next iPhone video.
@kaitlyn__L 7 місяців тому
Unless they somehow slid backward, iPhone mics have been really good at avoiding peaking or over-saturating for quite a while. Not that I’ve recorded entire concerts, but short video clips of them sound just fine from iPhone where they distorted on my older Androids like Pixel 3. (Even when at the front, by the stage and speakers.) Not sure what the secret sauce is, I’m pretty sure Android uses floating point audio just like iPhone (saw a Google lecture about implementing it in Android over a decade ago anyway) so presumably that’s not the only thing.

I’ve tested a lot of different phones both iPhones and Androids. Every time I have gotten an iPhone, I’ve always missed having an android and so I switch YET AGAIN back to android. I’ve done this SEVERAL TIMES. I recently went back to Samsung after testing out several phones (including iPhones) and I’m glad I did! I don’t think I’ll ever switch back to an iPhone ever again. Android just treats me better lol. I have full control over my device and there are no silly limitations that are frankly insulting to my intelligence. On top of that, and this is a big one, the android community is not as snobby and privileged as the iPhone community. Every time I’ve entered an Apple Store the staff treat my like my money means NOTHING and instead avoid me at all cost. Samsung, has not treated me like that PERIOD! That apple mentality just grosses me out and has just left a bad taste in my mouth even now!

The longer things go on, the more refined and beautiful iPhones and it's software becomes, while it feels like each version of Android just gets messier and more unclear. I can't stand the lack of control Apple gives it's users, but I have to admit that the UX is far nicer, cleaner, and smooth.

I think for cameras these days, edge case and consistency are the main thing to look for. Yes, all phones have great night mode and often also have large sensors to handle bad light without night mode. But there sort of isn't any phone today that will snap a fairly non blurry photo of a kid or pet in a dimly lit room. You need to go manual, control shutter speed and balance ISO to get a good picture. For me I still remember my Moto G which took horrible pictures but I still remember it as the fastest phone to handle exposure/shutter speed on, almost, auto. And with RAW and log creeping in as features, these will to separate great phones from good phones.
@JoshuaOlujide 7 місяців тому

BUT I'll use the 15 Pro Max for my MS number and use my 23 Ultra for my IL number since I use the IL phone WAY MORE than I do the MS one. I moved to Mississippi after living in Illinois for 27 years. But this also means we should finally get some snazzy accessories for that USB C port as well. Since it won't be locked off by a Lightning port.
