Sorry but someone coming from the original SE (iPhone 5S body) to the Pro Max and complaining there's not much extra content shown on screen sounds like absolute nonsense.

Photos between 15 Pro and SE are also a night and day difference.
Just look at these example pics. Many of them have terrible details by todays standards.

thats what I mean - all camera phones are (relatively) trash compared to a real camera. It’s hard to put into words when you compare a great lens to the best of phones
I have a fujifilm which performs best with my 16mm lens. But obv it’s annoying to carry that around, the lens alone is quite heavy! but the difference is dramatic
I’m truly happy for anyone not to agree with me as it means they’re happy for less money! That’s the dream right there.
You brought it to a… jeweler? How about using a nice case?
Titanium is known for tensile strength , and lighter in comparison with steel and able to resist to corrosion. But the materiel scuff and scratches easily due to the surface is much softer .That why titanium use on say knife or folding knife are always stonewash or bead blast to hide wear and tear, but is use for hard use tools due to it able to withstand blunt force and is corrosion free which is perfect for hard use tools. This just show how people assume everything without understand the nature of the material.
Yes it sounded cool using the said materiel, but hearing complaining it scuff easily. People had no idea how silly they sound , when you actually understand the materiel. How about putting it in a phone case then ?
I am seriously baffled by peeps in this threads and in this forum with people complaining it scratches . Doesnt take a metallurgist to understand this. Spend all this money to buy the latest iphone but doenst know how to actually use the internet to search for info rather then going ape$hit about it. Makes you look like a clown.

I bet the jeweler is trying his very best not to laugh. Comon seriously
This has to be a troll post. 🪦
Anyway, if it isn’t i would return it and maybe go for the 15 Plus.
It’s lighter and it has a longer battery life.

agreed, I learned a few years ago to never buy a phone based on the marketing bs about the camera....now it's not even something that I look for specs or listen to bs about....it is what it is and which brings the plus to actually a way better bang for your buck purchase and not the pro with all it's problems.
Exactly, every year its the same routine. This year is different cos its titanium. But seeing like 50% of it complaining it scratch without actually understand what the materiel is just a clown feast. While to some people are genuinely looking for meaningful info is just an annoyance.
Not everyone has problems. Actually, most people don't. I have a completely problem-free PM.
The difference between Plus and PM in the same capacity amounts to 300 Canadian dollars. 256 Plus is already a VERY expensive phone.
I spent a fair amount of time looking at both and trying to decide if 300 is a justifiable difference and decided it is.
I have had a 120 Hz phone since 2020 and don't really feel like going back to 60.
PM has smaller bezels, it's actually quite noticable when you put them side-by-side.
5X zoom is important to me.
A17 chip is incredible. It's so fast it's scary. 8 GB RAM is also great to have.
Out of the specs you listed, the one I would want is the 8gb ram..the rest..meh, not needed..chip and design should be better by next year for the heat, battery problems and to not cut down the longevity of the phone..heat kills
My God. Another thread whining about their 15 Pro Max.
I’ve had ZERO problems.
Look. I get it. You got a legitimate problem and I’m good with that. Just a little annoying that you insist on creating a new thread when there are SEVERAL threads you could have responded to.
End of the day, not even Apple cares. There still going to sell a lot of these. Worse case scenario they repair or replace a few.

I need a new phone now, not next year. I don’t have any heat or battery problems. This battery is mind-blowing. 14-hours a day use and only down 50%.

In regards to all the post about it scratching, at the very end of a day it’s a phone. It’s a device that will for the most of us be with us an enormous amount of time slipping into pockets, purses, bags etc. Nothing last nor remains new forever and a good portion of us will probably upgrade next year again (IUP etc). Enjoy the phone for what it brings to the table in your situation and let the rest rock. Regardless whether or not phone gets minor scratches, it doesn’t take away from the actual functionality of the phone.
Shortly after purchase I got a significant scratch on my Apple Watch - Series 0, stainless steel. It was more than the Cape Cod polishing cloth could handle. I took the watch to my jeweler who was reluctant to work on it due to fear he might damage the watch. I talked him into it and he did a beautiful job. You could still see the scratch somewhat but it was much improved from the deep scratch it was originally and I was happy with my watch again.
Also want to add that I had one natural titanium Apple watch and I was able to easily remove most scratches with a "Brushed Titanium Refinishing Pad" that I got on eBay. This would only work on the natural Ti iPhone.

I hear you, but it’s all awkward now so maybe just give a quote…? I mean you could just make something up tbh 👍🤣😅I don’t think you meant to respond to me
I think we can all agree, the perfrect size and compromise is the 15 pro !
!Ahh, joined 2 days ago (probably less given I'm in Aus) and 3 posts to their name.
Complaining of battery life when every single video/ post is showing the 15PM battery life to be the best amongst all current smart phones, including those with significantly larger batteries. I'm not buying this story.

Because it's another user who signed up yesterday and has 4 posts to their name. There's been a heap of trolls on MR recently, actively trying to discredit the iPhone 15's. It happens every year....MR should think about not allowing new user sign ups in the 2 months following a new iPhone release 😊
Another day, another newbie complaining about the newest phones with claims that seem very far-fetched (like the battery life on the pro max being worse than the SE, or a .0.x update disrupting everything and messing up apps...)
