Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB 6.7 Silver One Size / EU Plug

After having to cancel my order three time (one was my fault) and months and months of waiting, I finally received my 15 Pro Max, and was excited. After having the phone for nearly a month I can honestly say I have never had a bigger case of buyer’s remorse over any item I’ve ever purchased. For $1600+ I am expecting something nearing perfection, and this product falls woefully short. My main complaint revolves around video playback. I first noticed when I paused videos on YouTube they would automatically start playing again without me pressing play or even handling the phone. Also when I would select a video it would play for a millisecond then pause and I would have to press play again. I thought maybe this was YouTube app related and was willing to overlook it, ... MoreAfter having to cancel my order three time (one was my fault) and months and months of waiting, I finally received my 15 Pro Max, and was excited.

Also when I would select a video it would play for a millisecond then pause and I would have to press play again. I thought maybe this was YouTube app related and was willing to overlook it, even though it is extremely frustrating. Turns out it isn’t just YouTube app related. It does it on my news apps as well. I upgraded from the XS Max to this, and thankfully did not trade in that phone. You would think going up 5 iterations I’d notice a bigger difference in performance, but I don’t. I honestly reach for my XS Max more than this. I would not recommend this phone to anyone unless you like the feeling of being ripped off. Strongly considering biting the bullet and paying the restocking fee and returning this phone and reverting back to using the XS Max full time. The camera on this phone is nice, but doesn’t make up for the frustration of videos playing randomly.

I don’t know if it’s the titanium phone or what but my phone has had overheating issues since the day I got it. I’ve reached out to Apple numerous times in the year I’ve owned the phone and I keep getting told “it’s just the phone and it’s hot outside”. Well my 2 year old iPhone didn’t overheat after 2 minutes of using the camera and this one does. The Apple Store genius told me it’s because it’s such a high powered camera and it’s going to overheat. The phone overheats without even using the camera. It overheats on the charger and stops charging, I can’t plug it into the car charger or it overheats again. It gets incredibly hot to the point where I don’t charge my phone next to my bed anymore, I charge it in the kitchen in case it catches fire or something.

I think it’s ridiculous to build a phone with all the technology and not have components inside to keep the device cool. Now they have a new iPhone with even more high powered cameras 🤔 make it make sense. If I had to do it all over again, I would have save the $1200 and kept using my iPhone 14 Pro Max.Oh, one other thing to note, when I took the phone to Apple a couple weeks ago they ran a diagnostic on it and said there had been zero overheating warnings in the last 30 days, coincidentally my phone was burning hot and displaying the triangle with the exclamation point inside- because it was in fact overheating. That appointment was my last effort to get the phone fixed or replaced before my 1 year warranty was up on 9/25. The guy pretty much told me to order the new phone if I don’t like this one.

I wasn't sure if this would be worth it, it's stupidly expensive and I was nervous about the size increase from my 13 Pro.But I love it. Yes it's bigger but only about a cm taller and barely half wider and whilst it weighs a bit more it's not really noticeable due to better weight distribution. The cameras are superb, so clear and sharp almost on a par with a decent DSLR in some instances and the 5x zoom is very effective especially with the added stabilisation. I used to always shoot in Raw but the new high res 24mp means produces excellent shots straight from the camera. I also really like the depth map which produces very natural looking bokeh which is adjustable by focus point.The USB C charging is a very welcome addition finally means just taking one cable ... MoreI wasn't sure if this would be worth it, it's stupidly expensive and I was nervous about the size increase from my 13 Pro.But I love it.

Battery wise it's early days, I'm not getting masses more than my smaller 13 but still plenty enough to get through a day's heavy use. My phone is a major part of my work flow, so the 15 Pro Max extra screen size ticks loads of boxes as it's big enough to get a lot done on the move. The Dynamic Island is cute and really handy for calls and changing music whilst you're doing other things.The only thing I'm not so keen on is the always on display, it feels a bit unnecessary and I keep thinking the screen is on due to a notification. It probably just takes getting used to but I may turn it off.Overall I'm really happy with my purchase and whilst it's only two models on from the 13 Pro I still think it's a very worthwhile upgrade.
