Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max review

Undocumented tweaks to picture and sound make the new Pro Max even better than its predecessor

Incredibly sharp and punchy picture ; Hi-fi-like sound via headphones ; Loud, clear speakers

A 21:9 ratio with no 'Island' ('Dynamic' or otherwise) would be nice

A punchier picture and smoother sound make the iPhone 15 Pro Max an unparalleled portable movie and music machine

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max review: heavy on the features, light on the metal

With a new titanium casing, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is smaller and lighter than ever but still manages to extend its capabilities

Titanium enclosure makes it lighter ; 5x zoom ; USB-C charging

The action button is not essential ; No improvement in battery life ; I still want more from the camera

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the new flagship model in Apple's range and continues to push the boundaries of what is possible from a smartphone. Thanks to a new titanium enclosure, it's lighter and stronger than ever, it boasts an even greater camera array...

iPhone 15 Pro Max review: the best just got better

A big screen, fantastic cameras, and a winning look and feel

Gorgeous albeit subtle redesign ; Excellent photography ; Fantastic performance & gaming

Pricier baseline (but more storage) ; If you want big zoom capabilities, look elsewhere ; Charging should be faster

In virtually every respect, the iPhone 15 Pro Max raises the bar not only for the iPhone family but for smartphones in general. From the new materials to some of the best smartphone cameras we've ever used, Apple's big flagship ticks box after box. It...

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max review: even proier, less maxier

It's iPhone 15 Pro Max review time. But what does ‘Pro' mean in the context of a phone? And how do you ‘Max' that out?

Great camera improvements ; USB-C connectivity ; Lighter and nicer to hold ; Will get upgrades for 5+ years

USB 3 rather than Thunderbolt ; Expensive ; No desktop mode

The kind of advance that more makes you sagely nod approval rather than whoop for joy, but you’d have to be joyless yourself to not love the new camera smarts and the potential from USB-C.

iPhone 15 Ultra Pro Max: Or, iPhone 15 Ultra? What’s In A Name… iPhone 15 Ultra Pro Max Or iPhone 15 Ultra? Let's Speculate

Apple's apparently working on a new ultra-premium iPhone for 2023, and it'll either be called the iPhone 15 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max Ultra – and we have lots and lots of QUESTIONS... As of right now, this is just a rumor but there is plenty of...

iPhone 15 Pro Max review: yes, it really is worth $1,200

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is an expensive phone, starting at $1,199. But it's also one of the very best you can buy. Find our why in our full review.

Titanium design is a huge upgrade The Action button is excellent Outstanding camera system Virtually perfect display Blazing-fast performance iOS 17 is great (especially StandBy) USB-C port is convenient

Slow USB-C charging speeds Only one way to use the Action button Disappointing battery life

“The iPhone 15 Pro Max is one of the most exciting iPhone upgrades Apple's delivered in years, and it has (almost) nothing to do with USB-C.”

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Review: Little upgrades that add up to a whole new, phenomenal package

Dismissing the iPhone 15 Pro Max for a perceived lack of innovation would be misguided. There are a ton of tweaks, both major and minor that make the iPhone 15 Pro Max not only the best iPhone ever, but possibly, the best all-round smartphone yet

Pros: ; – The A17 Pro is a beast of an SoC ; – Titanium frame ; – Light and handy to hold ; – Finally a Type-C port on an iPhone with USB 3.0 speeds ; – Camera offers a ton of options and flexibility ; – Tetraprism zoom lens is a welcome addition ; –...

– Some iPhones can heat up, while others don’t ; – Action button can be set only to trigger one action ; – Doesn’t come with USB 3 cable in the box ; – Expensive, even for an iPhone

Assuming that the iPhone 15 Pro Max lacks innovation, or is just an iterative upgrade would be a mistake. There are many subtle upgrades, all of which add up to make something special. The iPhone 15 Pro Max introduces a robust yet lightweight titanium...

iPhone 15 Pro Max review: scope the difference

Apple's biggest and baddest iPhone 15 Pro Max delivers with a new 5X zoom camera and the lighter body is an even bigger upgrade than you might suspect...

Cool new titanium frame ; Action Button opens up more possibilities ; Speakers are great as always ; A17 Pro chip is an absolute beast ; USB Type C with USB 3 speeds! ; Slightly improved, much welcomed camera image processing

Color options are a bit limited ; Action Button needs fleshing out — it only does one thing ; Doesn't come with USB 3 cable in the box ; 5x zoom camera doesn't feel like a huge benefit
