iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 15 pro max

Thinking of upgrading my iPhone 14 Pro Max to the 15 pro max before my vacation. Did they figure out the heat problem the 15 pro max was having.

Is there a noticeable difference in the camera.

I went 14P to 15PM. Camera is similar. They’re all incremental improvements. The extra 5x lens is nice.

Heat is a non issue

No heat issue for me.

No heat issues here, even when charging wirelessly. I don’t use a case, so it may help with better heat dissipation, but maybe they just solved the issue with the software update. No issues with BMW wireless charger too if it matters to you.

The cameras are very similar. Night shots and HDR are slightly better, and I find 5x more useful than 3x for the types of pictures/videos I take.

The best camera feature for me is automatic portrait mode - great if you have kids! Portrait shots are much snappier, probably that’s why they didn’t bring it to 14 series with the software update.

It is also noticeably lighter and feels better in hand, at least without a case.

Action button is neat, but why did they leave it at the old spot where it’s not so easy to reach?

USB-C is nice to have too.

No heating issues with my 15 Pro Max. Love the 5x zoom

I only feel like the 15 Pro Max gets a bit warmer than the 14 Pro Max when taking a lot of pictures in a row (for example, when I'm at some landmark and take 20-30 pictures of it, I can feel it noticeably warm). But that's just a minor annoyance and doesn't affect its functionality in any way.

I'd say go for it! And as others said, the 5x zoom is amazing, and I also love that the new default resolution for the main camera is 24 MP. I'm happy I upgraded from the 14 Pro Max.

Haven't had any of the issues making their rounds on the forum on my 15PM. Even on the earliest versions of iOS17, my phone never heated up, had any wifi issues or image retention, etc.. A matter of fact, there are plenty of posts from members with 12-14Pro/PM complaining about overheating and poor battery performance on iOS17. Now that Apple has their holiday return window, you should pick up the 15PM, use the phone and decide for yourself whether it's a worthy update over your 14PM

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is so hot, I earn my money back by not heating the house. The iPhone 15 Pro Max pays for itself basically.

To defrost my car window, I just go in the car and just use my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and it's good to go!!
