If it is not, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is an excellent phone.

Definitely recommend

Absolutely in love with this phone! The titanium makes it so much lighter, I have the white titanium which is the best in my opinion. The camera is amazing and that 15x zoom is insane, your video does not blur when zooming which is mind blowing. The visuals are stunning, it’s fast and I’ve had it for a month without the rumored overheating. The hype was worth it!

First ProMax

I'm coming from a 13pro and my first iPhone was the iPhone 10. My battery on the 13pro was shot and I wanted to try a bigger phone as well with the 15 pro max having the new USB-C port. Thought I would give it a try. So far it's been great. The battery is is amazing last all day no matter what I do with it, It's nice to have the bigger screen. I will say that the the Max doesn't feel as big as I thought it was in the passed. Some had issues with this phone getting hot but I have not had that issue. It was warm on transferring everything over but not any warmer then the 13pro would ever get. I do not like the titanium I like the SS better and I don't think the titanium will hold up as well over time.

Great phone

As a retired photographer and computer teacher the camera is fantastic. That is why I upgraded. I have found so many more new options. This phone is fantastic. Wonderful color and a very sharp screen. My only complaint is the mag safe charger which I returned because it was overheating the phone when charging. It feels great in my hand but takes a little getting use to the button placement. The action button is a great idea and I look forward to more options for it in the future. Overall I would have to give this phone a 10 out of 10.I am also a Vietnam veteran and I just participated in the South Willamette Valley Honor Flight to Washington DC and over 2 days being there I shot well over 500 stills, panoramas and videos. They are sharp as a tack.Great camera.

It doesn’t fold but it’s still great!

Switched from a Galaxy Fold 3 to this 15 pro max just to see what the hype was all about. i’ve always been all about android/galaxy phones but i hate to admit that i really enjoy this phone. Android had a lot of useful features if you use your phone for work but for personal use iOS is a lot more fun to use. i haven’t had any overheating issues with mine and i use aftermarket android chargers.

Made the jump from Android to iOS with this phone

Made the jump from Android to iOS with this phone and am happy so far with my purchase. i did a lot of research of what my needs were with both operating environments and came to the conclusion that i wanted a the simple path. The biggest hurdle is retraining my muscle memories from S4 - S8 into the apple side of things. (for the most part it's the same concept but different icons)

Monumental Upgrade from iPhone XR

I absolutely adore it. It brings me immense joy, satisfaction, and a sense of deep appreciation. The way it captivates my attention, ignites my curiosity, and fills my heart with happiness is truly remarkable. The passion and enthusiasm it evokes within me are indescribable. I find myself constantly drawn to it, unable to resist its allure. It has become a source of inspiration, a sanctuary where I can escape and immerse myself in pure bliss. It uplifts my spirits, rejuvenates my soul, and reminds me of the beauty that exists in this world. I am truly grateful for its presence in my life and cherish every moment spent indulging in its wonders.

Phone 5 Stars - Service 1 Star

I love the phone even if it is a few updates away from a stable version. The Apple migration process keeps getting smoother. What stinks out loud is AT&T service. I really don’t even understand why the stores exist. What they did do was messed up. Everything else had to go through the phone support number or I did it through the App. The store was pretty open about that - I hope they don’t cry when their jobs are eliminated.

So light and so pro

Apple use Titanium for the exterior frame for iPhone 15 pro series, and Titanium is a huge upgrade for daily use as it makes the phone lighter. When first time have it in the hand I can immediately feel lighter weight and comfortable to hold, which makes a huge advantages compare to older Pro models. The phone borders are also slightly narrower and shorter in length. And with 15 pro max new features 5x Zoom lens makes more of the world around me easier to photograph. Amazing as always!

Yet another Apple Marvel

Best Apple iPhone ever, as Apple says. Great upgrade if you are coming from the x, 11 or 12. If you already own a 13 pro or later, this wouldn’t make you go wow but there are decent improvements and features that you can notice irrespective of any generation of phones you are in. If camera is a priority and you want fast nice shots go for it. Battery is ok. Post iOS 17.0.3 the heating issues seem to have been stable but too early to say. If you have been using Apple and wanna continue in that ecosystem - This is the phone
