iPhone 16 Pro Max Vs iPhone 15 Pro Max - REVIEW OF SPECS!

New iPhone 16 Pro Max so then guys we've just had the Apple it's glow Time Event where we've seen lots of new products including the new Apple watch 10 and of course the brand new iPhone 16 models and today for you guys I'm going to do a comparison of the iPhone 16 Pro Max versus the iPhone 15 Pro Max in a review of specs to see what the differences are between both these models with just one year apart from Sponsor them so then guys just before we go compare the iPhone 16 Pro Max the iPhone 15 Pro Max I want to tell you about today's sponsor and that is from quivi quivi got a whole load of new ranges of cases for the iPhone 16 models and I've got some examples here for the iPhone 16 Pro Max so for example we have the three times military grade standard impact case here and this can actually protect your phone from a 6.6 ft drop what is really really awesome but one other thing I want to talk to you about today is this case that you're seeing right here this is the new Ultra bounce case and it's been tested by 10 times military standard this case can actually protect your phone or protect your iPhone 16 Pro Max like we got right here from a 32.8 ft drop what's absolutely amazing with this but one question you'll probably want to know is what is this all about here on the top well this is designed for the brand new Ultra bounce utility lyard and what this land what allows you to do is for example you can clip it onto your iPhone in many many different ways so I'm just going to clip it onto here like that on one there and then for example like that and then I can have this around my neck and walk around and I can still operate my phone at the same time which is really really awesome but you can also customize this lanyard in so many different ways to fit your needs you can have it as a cross body strap for example or you can use the carabina like we've got right here actually comes in Clues on the lanyard and you can sort of just clip it onto this little Loop that we have right here and I can click it onto the bottom of say my iPhone was really really cool and then I can just have it say around my wrist if I wanted to do that so I can just whip it out and also just have it dangling from my wrist to give me that extra bit of protection what is really really awesome and then the great thing with case toy case is that you can actually customize it exactly the way you want it with so many different patterns and designs that you can have on the back or even just have a clear back too to see the true color of your iPhone and if you want to check out these

specs of the iPhone 16 Pro Max versus the the iPhone 15 Pro Max so then guys on the left side here iPhone 16 Pro Max Vs iPhone 15 Pro Max Specs we have the iPhone 16 Pro Max and we have the iPhone 15 Pro Max on the right side I'm going to do this comparison so first of all let's get started right away with the display type so both of these iPhones have the exact same display type they're both OLED xdr displays this is the kind of same technology we've had ever since say the iPhone sort of 13 Pro Models they haven't really change there whatsoever so exactly the same type there but where there is a difference is the screen size where with the iPhone 15 Pro Max we had a 6.7 in display we now have just under a 6.9 in display now on the iPhone 16 Pro Max so yeah definitely a larger display here what is really really cool to see here they Apple have actually made the bezels even thinner and you can see this even in this picture here comparing them that the bezels around the Border around the edge even thinner here and obviously the phone is slightly bigger for Apple to do this it's really amazing but what does that mean in screen resolution well the screen ratios are exactly the same on both these phones they're 19x 5x9 but the resolution of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 2,868 by 1,320 whereas the iPhone 15 Pro Max that is 2,796 by 1,290 there and what that means though for Pixel Clarity or pixels per inch they are both 460 pixels per inch so you're going to get exactly the same amount of clarity on both of these phones they're going to be as clear as each other there no differences and like I said before both of these phones for the dis display refresh rate they both actually house the promotion so this is the 120 HZ promotion display refresh rate goes right down to 1 Herz and go all the way back up to 12 20 HZ there so that's really good to see that both these phones have got this again then for the actual screen brightness both of them are identical one thing we were hoping for was the iPhone 16 Pro Max to actually have a slightly brighter display this time around but it doesn't look like it's going to be the case they exactly the same they both have up to 2,000 nits of brightness in xdr sort of brightness or sort of content that you're showing on your phone there but then moving over to the processor and the CPU what are the differences we've got here well we have the a18 pro and the A7 Pro so the iPhone 15 Pro Max has the older a17 Pro with the six core CPU 6 core GPU and the 16 core neural engine whereas the iPhone 16 Pro Max has the exact same setup but one of the big differences is for example is Apple even said that the six core CPU is about 15% more faster yet it's 20% more efficient than the core CPUs that are in inside the iPhone 15 Pro Max is A7 Pro there so you're getting more power by 15% but it uses 20% less power to do that what's really really cool to see there but overall we are getting benefits in the GPU Ray tracing and things like this and also the neural Engine 2 for all of those apple intelligence goodies that we get for Ram amounts they're exactly the same on both these phones this time round so we're actually getting 8 GB of RAM on both of the iPhones no difference whatsoever then for the actual storage amounts a bit of a disappointment here we are expecting to see some better storage amounts for the iPhone 16 Pro Max even a 2 terabyte option it didn't come about again sadly so all those rumors are leaks out there from other leakers like Mark German and a few others who may have said this it has not come true unfortunately we are still stuck with 256 GB allate up to 1 tbte for both of the models but then moving on to the operating system both of these phones can run iOS 18 iOS 18 is coming out very soon for the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 Pro Max it will come straight out of the box available for you straight away with that the Apple intelligence goodies going to be very very similar but what I would say with the iPhone 16 Pro Max you may get an extra year of say operating system updates for security patches there compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max compared to last year but that's probably the only big difference there but then moving over to the actual battery life now this one is a Big E Apple actually boasted that there's better battery life in a prom Max than you've ever seen out there and that is true as you can see here the iPhone 16 Pro Max can get up to a 33 hour battery live of video playback what's actually on the phone this is not streaming this is actually sitting on the actual storage on your iPhone playing that that's how they Benchmark this don't know what brightness but the brightness would have been the same the sound would have been the same on both the models but as you can see here you are getting around about a 12 to 15% I can't do the exact maths better battery life just on video playback straight away over the 15 Pro Max there so whenever you've got to that point where you say you got to 0% battery on your iPhone 15 Pro max if you switched to an iPhone 16 Pro Max you would be probably sitting on 15% instead that's the kind of sort of differences there 12 or 15% that's what you're getting but for the actual physical battery inside of it for the battery life there are some differences here too we actually got a slightly bigger battery now we've got a 4,676 milliamp battery in the iPhone 16 Pro Max compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max what has the 441 milliamp battery but still not a 5,000 milliamp battery just of yeah for Wired and wireless charging there are some upgrades here too and apple didn't really talk too much into this what you can actually do now is you can actually do a 30 W charging with USBC on the iPhone 16 Pro Max whereas the iPhone 15 Pro Max would only go up to 27 Watts so that's only 3 Watts more but that new mag safe charger and only that new mag safe charge new ones that Apple brought out if you plug in the USB C end into 30 wat adapter or more it will charge up via mag safe at 25 watts via mag saap using their new mag safe charger the new you know magnetic thing clicks on the back and it has to be plugged at the other end to 30 W or more to give you 25 wats of wireless charging if you plug it into 25 watts it will not give you that it has to be a 30 wat charger or more whereas the iPhone 15 Pro Max still has the wireless 15 wat Max safe what's the same what we've ever had since say the iPhone 12 Pro Series out there but then moving over to weight the iPhone 16 Pro Max obviously is a little bit bigger and it weighs slightly more it literally weighs six G more to put into perspective for you guys that's not even the weight of say a film screen protector for your iPhone 16 Pro Max or for the iPhone 15 Pro Max that matter it's lighter than that we're talking nothing in we you're really not going to feel the difference here you feel the size difference probably more but not the way and that is quite impressive from Apple to do that but they're moving on to the water resistance they're both ip68 this time round nothing new yet there so this means they can be dropped into clear water up to around about sort of 6 M and up to 30 minutes before any kind of damage actually happens so that is clear water do remember that but then moving over to the ports then both of these phones only have one port at the bottom of them and they are USBC for charging or USB free for charging so this code go up to 10 gbits per second no speed changes here nothing faster here in transferring data to a hard driver off your phone there so just be aware of that USBC charges then for the actual speakers both of them have two times stereo speakers on both these phones but Apple have actually said to the iPhone 16 Pro Max there's been some changes with audio with the sound for this there's even more crisper sound on the iPhone 16 Pro Max using AI with that so yeah just be aware of that and talk about artificial intelligence or apple intelligence I should say both of these phones have apple intelligence and they're exactly the same sort of features the only other difference is obviously that new capture button what you have with the iPhone 16 Pro Max and also you got some new abilities with audio with apple intelligence but nothing you can sort of pull up on the screen as it were so for it to actually physically help you in your dayto day live it's more to do with videos there but nothing really substantial and exclusive for the iPhone 16 Pro Max there they're basically exactly the same of everything we saw at WWDC earlier this year for Bluetooth technology they're exactly the same they both have Bluetooth 5.3 inside of them and Wi-Fi though this year we did get a boost at last the iPhone 16 Pro Max at last can connect to WiFi 7 router to get that extra speed boost there whereas the iPhone 15 Pro Max has Wi-Fi 6E moving on then to cameras and this is a big one for a lot of people well actually looking at the specs here on the back it doesn't look that much but like I said you do have that new capture button on the iPhone 16 models all across the range and that's going to be really really helpful there to have that but for the actual camera lenses physically here they're all brand new sensors in the iPhone 16 Pro Max compared to the 15 Pro Max and with that though they both have a 48 megapix wide sensor but the iPhone 16 Pro Max this time has a 48 megapix Ultra wide compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max with its 12 megapixel we again got the 12 megapixel Tel photo uh one up to a five time T prism Zoom or how that works there and then digital Zoom probably go even further both of them can record at 4K video but with the iPhone 16 Pro Max we do have that new cinematic 4K video recording at 120 frames per second which's pretty impressive there and both the cameras again do have a liar sensor but then moving on to the front of the phone there's no differences here again we still got a 12 megapixel camera on the front in the dynamic Island at 4K so no changes here whatsoever on both of these cameras but then moving over to the price the great news is again again Apple have kept the price exactly the same in US Dollars like I said it depends where you are in the world to do with taxes and how much your uh sort of currency compared to the US dollar how good that is it depends on the currency and depends on the actual cost in your country but if you were buying it in the US right now the iPhone 16 Pro Max hasn't changed at all for it sort 256 GB it second sort of tier storage what it had when it came out with the EXs Max back there and this is now the same one here for the 256 GB is exactly the same price as the iPhone 15 Pro Max so no changes there what's good to hear for colors though we did have one new color swap out this year and that is to do with the titanium blue to the titanium desert or desert titanium as Apple like to call it but I would say this the titanium black white and natural color also do have a bit more of a new look this time a bit more polished bit more this time so yeah they definitely do look different to last year's colors so yeah but there are four options available for you but with that then what iPhone model will you be buying so as we can see then the iPhone 16 Pro Max definitely has a lot of new features in it it's definitely bigger in size and things like this and it screen size and everything like that those apple intelligence features are absolutely amazing too but don't forget you got the Apple intelligence in the iPhone 15 Pro Max personally in my opinion if you got an iPhone 15 Pro Max I personally wouldn't be updating to an iPhone 16 Pro Max that's just my honest opinion out there but overall if you're looking for a brand new phone with the best specs out there you can't deny the iPhone 16 Pro Max is definitely one of the killer phones of 2024 and even going into 2025 but those are just my thoughts there what are your thoughts on these initial reviewer specs for both these phones is it something you're going to consider getting are you
