Intro hey what's up guys will here for GSM Marina now that the iPhone 16 series is out the iPhone 15 series offers some pretty good value and from last year there are two Pro Models to choose from on one side you have the iPhone 15 Pro Max which is their top model and then there's the iPhone 15 Pro which is smaller and packs a different telephoto camera when you crunch the numbers which one comes out on top let's put the iPhone 15 pro and pro Max head-to head and find out Design and build quality [Music] both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max bring the best features Apple has to offer but there are some differences the main one of course is the size and the weight the pro is the compact model while the pro Max is taller and wider both phones are more lightweight than you'd expect since they have titanium frames rather than steel but the pro Max is over 30 G heavier you get the same ceramic shield glass on either phone the difference is the Screen specs and features screen size is a major factor in deciding between these two phones on the iPhone 15 Pro you get a 6.1 in ltpo OLED with a 120 HZ refresh rate the pro Max's display on the other hand is larger at 6.7 in this amounts to about 20% more screen real estate when it comes to brightness sharpness refresh rate behavior and HDR support you get the same experience on both phones but the screen cutout which hosts the selfie and 3D TF cameras eats up a lot more of the screen of the smaller phone if you prefer a big screen for Stereo speakers things like watching videos or playing games the pro Max could be the better option there are stereo speakers on either iPhone and both have great sound quality the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a bit Battery endurance and charging test louder though battery life is another difference between these phones as the pro Max has a larger battery capacity indeed the pro Max scores an easy win here with significantly higher numbers in all of our tests still the iPhone 15 Pro wasn't too bad as you might expect the pro Max is slower to charge as both phones support the same 20 W wired charging a half hour of charging brought the pro to 57% versus 46% on the pro Max and a full charge on the pro Max took Storage options around 15 minutes more than on the pro there is a difference when it comes to storage too while both phones can come with up to a terabyte on board the pros based model was 128 gigs versus 256 gigs Apple A17 Pro performance on the pro Max's base model there is no difference in Ram between the two though it's 8 gigs and as both the pro and pro Max pack the same chipset Apple's a777 Pro you'd expect the flagship grade performance to be the same on either one there isn't even a meaningful difference when it comes to Thermal management both Camera specs phones throttled quite a bit during our prolonged stress tests now we get to the cameras the iPhone 15 Pro Max packs a new 12 map five times tetr prism telephoto camera besides that is a 48 map main cam and a 12 map Ultra wide the iPhone 15 Pro on the other hand brings back the 12 megap three times telephoto that was present on the 14 pro the rest of the setup is Telephoto cameras comparison the same as the iPhone 15 Pro Maxes if we focus our attention on those telephotos first we'll notice that at five times Zoom the pro Max's native output isn't that much better than what the pro achieves with this own telephoto with the help of digital Zoom then again at the three time zoom level the 15 Pros telephoto is better than what the 15 Pro Max does because the pro Max achieves three times Zoom digitally from the main cam so the iPhone 15 Pro's telephoto camera might have the more versatile Main and ultrawide camera samples range if you don't intend to go further than five times Zoom the main and Ultra wide cameras are the same between the two models and produce the same great images during the day there's really nothing to set the pro and pro Max apart here in low light again the two phones behave identically and you'll be getting the same shots with the main and Ultra wide cameras video recording and selfie quality are identical between these two Conclusion, pros and cons phones and we'll drop links to their dedicated reviews if you'd like to check that out so that was the cream of the Apple crop the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max with the pro Max you get the larger screen and better battery life the speakers are slightly louder as well meanwhile the iPhone 15 pro has the compact build and slightly faster charging speed it three times telephoto is actually able to to keep up with the five times one on the pro Max and the pro is also about 100 bucks cheaper if you compare the 256 gig versions in the end both phones are excellent all around it really depends on if you need a large or a compact phone and whether you need to save a bit of cash thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one [Music]
