I have do more testing, but my 14 pro max over sharpened photos way too much. I preferred the 13 pro max to it.
Got a tip for us?

Ok a note on the Always on Display. It seems to be low ambient light that causes the 15 pro max to turn off...both for the always on Lock Screen and the Standby. Sitting on a wireless charging base next to me now, if lights are on, lock screen stays on. When I turn off the lights to watch a movie...always on turns off. This matches the behavior of Standby at night.
14 Pro max in the same room, Lock Screen stays on. Standby turns off the same as the 15 pro max though.
Both running iOS 17, so it seems Apple has done something different with the Always on programming for the 15 pro series and I really hope they fix it. I watch a lot of movies in a dark room and now my new phone will not stay on.

About the 11:11 minute mark. Phone doesn’t crack whatsoever, and you can tell he’s applying a good amount of force on it from both sides. Wonder what was the root cause to Jerry Rig’s snap.
So far (24 hours), no issues at all with my 15 Pro Max. I went from the 12 Pro Max, trying to keep myself to 3 year upgrade cycles. I've looked for some of the screen issues and can't discern any. It did take me a couple tries to get my phone number to successfully move over, but I'll chalk that up to AT&T being overwhelmed at the time, or just some little glitch. Second attempt worked no problem, so whatever.

Weaker hands?😅 Don't know but I hope that was a freak thing. The drops test haven't been encouraging. But being easily able to bend/crack it with the number of people I see shove their iPhones in the back pocket.....

The drop tests haven't freaked me out. While the 15 pro max can't take an extreme beating like the 14 pro max can, it still did well enough given the materials. For the most part, the 15 Pro Max can take a beating and still work, it's just the physical phone body will have cracks and noticeable damage.
I've been on the phone for two hours with my Pro via iPods and it's very hot to the touch and won't charge via MagSafe. its not losing battery, but won't out charge its usage. iCloud Photos backup also paused saying the phone needs to cool down.
Heard it several times now... Maybe because of the new material? Or I think it's the new chip inside...
No no no, inject the camera noise directly into my veins. God save me from the overprocessed mess of the 14 series.
Maybe one day they'll have "crunchiness" as a Photographic Style setting so we can pick how natural or unnatural we want the photo to be.
no idea. it didn't even get this hot earlier when it was charging and restoring from iCloud. I hard rebooted and its cooling down. I've only been using it for a few hours now so who knows.
My wife and I have 15 Pro Max iPhones. When I hold the Action button on mine, the screen turns on and it goes into silent mode (or out). When I hold my wife's iPhone's Action button, the screen stays off but it still goes into silent mode (or out). Why doesn't her screen turn on...? All settings are the same...
It’s also disappointing a U.S tech YouTuber couldn’t have did this test as an alternative to Jerry’s video. Since this YouTuber is not U.S based or has a large following, this will get ignored in favor of Jerry’s video.
This will get ignored because it doesn’t create a better headline, the anti Apple brigade will have a field day with the other one.
This one just spoils that narrative.
Ok so with regards to always on using Standby while on the charger this is what I’ve found overnight with my 15 Pro Max.
Under ambient light the clock turns a red tint and stays on, during using Sleep Focus the display turns off after around 20 seconds.
If the phone notices any movement nearby like if you lift up your head from the pillow the display turns back on again showing the red tinted clock.
Once Sleep Focus has been disabled the display remains on.

My phone have the exact same thing/mark on the exact same place. I am wondering also why is this happening. 🤔 The mark appears when phone gets a bit warm. 🤷♂️
Could be because of additional heat coming from the display cable connected to the main board:
He should of got the max
15 pro is only a bit better than the 14 pro he said in the video and it’s been average for me.
I get this occassionaly after HOURS of use. Same with miniLED.
With IPS panels i'm good.
