Quick Review: iPhone 15 Pro Max
We’ve waited, we’ve followed the launch, and now, we have the iPhone 15 in our hands. In this writeup, we explore the most expensive variant; the iPhone 15 Pro Max now that it’s available here at Kimstore; your trusted online gadget store!
Of course, those who were able to catch us live already knew what to expect with this new mobile phone from Apple. Nonetheless, you can catch up on our unboxing and quick look of this new Blue Titanium unit here:
In the meantime, here’s some of the top reasons why you need the iPhone 15 Pro Max today!
Buy it if…
You want the best performance and features in an iPhone
The iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with a new A17 Pro chip; the first 3nm chipset on a phone thus far. As such, you already get the whole suite of CPU and GPU performance upgrades over the A16 Bionic.
But, it is 2023 right? Most mobile phones should already be fast enough to handle most of our basic tasks like calls, texts, social media, and streaming. So what is the benefit of going Pro in this instance?
Immediately, we turn to gaming which is an area where many of the best smartphones still struggle. In this case, not only does the iPhone 15 Pro Max handle heavy mobile games like Genshin Impact well, it’s also able to run console titles like Resident Evil Village efficiently, with more coming in the near future.
Outside of games, you’ll also feel the performance increase in dedicated areas. For example, a new image processor allows you to take plenty of photos back to back without the phone lagging and slowing down. And of course, its neural engine helps with recognizing subjects more accurately, leading to better portrait photos.
You want the best set of cameras in a smartphone
The iPhone 15 Pro Max gets a 48MP main camera, a 12 MP ultrawide, and new to this model, a 120mm periscope telephoto lens. For some, this may not sound too impressive; many Androids already have telephoto lenses so Apple seems more like it’s playing catch up.
However, when you partner this telephoto lens with Apple’s processing chops and A17 Pro chip? Well, you get a bunch of nifty features such as its enhanced new auto-portrait feature.
So long as you’ve focused on your subject properly, you can retroactively edit the image to a more traditional portrait shot with a “bokeh” effect on the background. No need to toggle a dedicated portrait mode in order to do it.
Oh, and Apple is still ahead when it comes to capturing video on a phone. Even if it only shoots at 4K for now, the details captured are excellent, and stabilization is very impressive. Not bad if you’re thinking of shooting like an amateur film with just your pocket equipment.
You want the large, immersive display without the hefty weight
Ultimately, the choice of whether to go for the iPhone 15 Pro Max or the cheaper and smaller iPhone 15 Pro is the size. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is definitely the bigger and heavier device which may feel uncomfortable for some people. However, you do get the bigger screen in return.
Content like movies, videos, and TV shows all look very nice on a big screen, letting you see more detail during intense sequences. Especially if that display is the Pro Max’s Super Retina OLED, which serves up great contrast, high brightness levels, and the ProMotion technology that allows the phone to reach up to 120Hz for smoother operation.
Additionally, the shift to a titanium frame for the iPhone 15 Pro Max has helped it feel a lot lighter and balanced in the hand. No sacrifices in durability with the frame either as it’s highly resistant to warping.

Don’t buy it if…
You prefer a smaller iPhone
On the other hand, some people may not just want a big iPhone which is totally fine. While we do think the titanium build has done a lot to help the iPhone 15 Pro Max feel much more comfortable and ergonomic in the hand, you might just want a smaller phone you can use with one hand easily..
In that case, check out the regular iPhone 15 Pro too. It should have the same great features as the iPhone 15 Pro Max (albeit with a smaller telephoto lens), making it a great option if you just want a small and light phone that easily slides in your pocket.
You prefer brighter colors
The look of a phone definitely plays a big part in people’s purchasing decisions. And with the iPhone 15 line being quite similar when it comes to the basic overall performance, you might be the type who’d rather go for the cheaper, more colorful selection of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus!
Both of the basic iPhone 15 models get more subtle, almost pastel-like hues of green, blue, yellow, and pink as opposed to the metallic titanium finish on the Pro models. Check them out if you don’t mind trading off the telephoto lens and faster display for a more affordable price and brighter color options!
You’re looking for a more affordable iPhone
Those who are just planning to switch and are looking for something more affordable, they can look at some of the previous generation iPhones, such as the discounted iPhone 14 here. After all, Apple’s long update cycle should keep these phones much more secure and up-to-date for years, making them a great buy for 2023!
