We are here with a detailed review video of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has Ray Tracing support, an A17 Pro processor that can play console-level games, a titanium case, and USB Type-C instead of Lightning. Let’s see what the iPhone 15 Pro Max will offer us.
The price of the 256 GB version, which is the starting model of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has Black Titanium, White Titanium, Blue Titanium, Natural Titanium color options, is 76,999 TL. The 512 GB model is 84,999 TL, and the 1 TB model’s price in Turkey is 92,999 TL. Of course, these prices are as of the day we shot the video.
We have the most expensive one, but where is the cheapest? Countries that sell iPhone 15 cheapest!
Do you know in which country the cheapest iPhone 15 is sold in the world? Here are the countries selling Apple iPhone 15 at affordable prices
While we have started our video with prices, I would like to convey the following information. The rear glass replacement fee, which is 28,453 TL on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, has decreased to 6,731 TL on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Since the rear glass replacement opportunity was offered for the first time in the iPhone 15 Pro models, there was a decrease in repair costs.
iPhone 15 Pro Max design differences
Compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which weighs 240 grams, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which is lighter with the titanium material, weighs 221 grams. The lighter iPhone 15 Pro Max is slightly thicker than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The thickness, which increased from 7.9 mm to 8.25 mm, is not felt because the edges of the phone are slightly more ovalized.
Titanium, used in the aerospace industry, makes the iPhone 15 Pro Max both stronger and lighter. Apart from the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple uses 5th class titanium material and produces the internal skeleton of the phone from 100% recycled aluminum.
We see that the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s screen frames are thinner, especially when we look at it from the front, with a Ceramic Shield front glass and a textured matte glass back surface on the back. When you put the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the 14 Pro Max side by side, you feel that the frames have become thinner.
Another innovation in the iPhone 15 Pro models is the action button. Apple, which used a switch that allows us to mute the phone on the non-Pro iPhone 15 and previous iPhone models, now includes an action button. Thanks to this button, which Apple also calls the action button in Turkish, you can assign the feature you want to the button and use it as a shortcut key.
Once you set the feature you want, just press and hold the button to start the action. Another difference of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is that it now comes with a USB Type – C port instead of a Lightning port on the bottom. iPhone 15 Pro models offer a faster USB Type C port than non-Pro iPhone 15 models.
iPhone 15 Pro models offer up to 20 times faster file transfer with USB 3 support. Pro models are more advantageous in both charging and file transfer times. You can also charge other devices via the USB Type C port. It also supports many Type – C accessories. iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with IP68 support. iPhone 15 Pro Max, which can withstand 6 meters of water for 30 minutes, also offers dual speaker support.
iPhone 15 Pro Max screen features
When using the iPhone 15 Pro Max, as I said in the design section, the thinner screen frames attract attention. The iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has a screen-to-body ratio of 89.8 percent, has thinner frames than the 14 Pro Max, which has a screen-to-body ratio of 88.3 percent. The dynamic island design and general screen features used in the iPhone 14 Pro Max continue in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
iPhone 15 Pro Max, which uses a 6.7-inch LTPO Super Retiuna XDR OLED display, has 120 Hz support. Offering dynamic screen refresh between 1 and 120 Hz along with an always-on display, the phone’s screen also has supports such as HDR10 and Dolby Vision. The resolution of the screen, which has a typical brightness of 1000 nits and a maximum brightness of 2000 nits, is 2796 x 1290 pixels.
A17 Pro features! How performance is iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Apple uses the new chipset A17 Pro in iPhone 15 Pro models. The processor produced with 3 nm technology contains 19 billion transistors. The A17 Pro processor has 2 high-performance and 4 efficiency-oriented processor cores. In total, the 6-core processor is accompanied by the newly developed 6-core Apple GPU with Ray Tracing support.
The new 16-core Neural Engine is employed to increase the speed in artificial intelligence work and machine learning. iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with 8 GB RAM. Let’s take a closer look at what the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which offers 256, 512 GB and 1 TB internal memory options, did in the performance tests.
We start with the GeekBench 6 processor test. Scoring 2891 points in single-core and 7110 points in multi-core, 15 Pro Max gets 27275 GPU Metal score in the graphics unit test of the same program. In the same test, iPhone 14 Pro Max gets 2634 points in single core and 6486 points in multi-core. GPU Metal score is 22774.
In the video where we compare the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the 14 Pro Max in detail, we will talk more about the comparative test results. Now let’s continue our tests with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The 15 Pro Max received 1,391,432 points in AnTuTu and 2778 points in the 3D Mark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited test. The average frame value it gives in this test is 16.6 FPS.
Thanks to the USB 3.0 controller inside the A17 Pro chipset, data transfer is possible at higher speeds. DisplayPort image transfer can also be made via the USB Type-C port, which offers data transfer up to 10Gbps.
Faster wireless connection speed is also offered with the Wi-Fi 6e modem instead of Wi-Fi 6. Thanks to dual-frequency precision GPS technology, significant increases in location performance and precision are achieved.
iPhone 15 Pro Max camera features
iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with a renewed camera system. Apple, which continues to use the triple camera array on the back, also used scratch-resistant sapphire glass in the lens glasses. You can work with many different focal lengths on iPhone 15 Pro Max. When you take a photo, you have the ability to get different results as if you had 7 lenses.
The main camera used in iPhone 15 Pro Max has a resolution of 48 Megapixels. This main camera, which has a 24mm f/1.78 aperture, can take 24, 28 and 35 mm photos. To shoot with different mm values on the same lens, simply press 1x again in the camera app. This lens also has OIS feature.
You can take photos with a resolution of 48 Megapixels in 24mm, 35 Megapixels in 28mm mode, and 24 Megapixels in 35mm mode. The ultra-wide camera with a resolution of 12 Megapixels has a diameter of 13 mm and an aperture of f / 2.2. Thus, you can take ultra-wide-angle photos with a 120-degree field of view.
The telephoto camera with a resolution of 12 Megapixels can now zoom 5 times optically. This telephoto lens, which has a 120 mm f / 2.8 aperture, can digital zoom up to 25 times in total. This lens also has OIS support.
Another improvement in the iPhone 15 Pro Max is in portrait mode. Before switching to portrait mode, both the front and rear cameras recognize the subject to be shot and automatically switch to portrait mode. You can change the blurry area at the back of portrait photos later in the gallery.
When we look at the front camera features, a 23 mm wide-angle lens with 12 Megapixel resolution and f / 1.9 aperture is used. Depth detection is provided by the TOF 3D LiDAR sensor on the back and the SL 3D depth and biometric sensor on the front.
You can also take macro shots with iPhone 15 Pro Max. On the video side, you can record 4K 24/25/30 and 60 FPS video, and 25 / 30 / 60 / 120 / 240 FPS video in Full HD. You can also use features such as 10 Bit HDR and Dolby Vision HDR and stereo sound recording in video recordings.
While Cinematic mode allows 4K 24 and 30 FPS recordings, iPhone 15 Pro Max also allows 3D Spatial video recordings. As a result, we see serious improvements on the camera side compared to the 14 Pro Max, whose camera we found to be quite successful in both photo and video recording.
The quality of photos taken by the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which offers greater zoom both optically and digitally, has also increased significantly. We found the low-light photo and video performance particularly successful.
iPhone 15 Pro Max battery features
iPhone 15 Pro Max offers a slightly better battery time than the 14 Pro Max. The processor produced with 3nm technology and the growing battery are the main heroes of this increase. Offering up to 29 hours of video playback, up to 25 hours of online video viewing, and up to 95 hours of audio playback, iPhone 15 Pro Max offers us a battery life that easily exceeds 1 day.
Offering up to 15W MagSafe-enabled wireless charging, up to 7.5W Qi wireless charging and 20W wired charging, iPhone 15 Pro Max can charge at approximately 25 – 26 watts with more powerful Power Delivery-enabled adapters. The battery of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which can be charged to 50 percent in half an hour when fast charged, is 4,441mAh.
