Apple's 2024 iPhone lineup is packed with great options. The iPhone 15 lineup might offer the latest & greatest features, but that doesn't mean you should go out and buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max. You might find much better value in the iPhone 13 or iPhone 14, for example.

So in this video, we compare every iPhone currently sold by Apple in terms of design, camera quality, display, battery life, connectivity, value for the money, how long each one will last, and much more. Enjoy!

    Which iPhone are you picking up in 2024? Or are you sticking with your current one for a bit longer?
  • @pug_63
    Quick note: The only country to go eSIM-only was the US. The rest of us still get SIM trays.

    The iPhone 13 is great, I probably wonā€™t upgrade until the 17 comes out. People treat phones as a flex or a fashion accessory, the 13 is fantastic and even compared to the 15 pro the feature set is not large enough for Ā£999. My phone has a great camera, great battery life, overall great specs and even though I would like a telephoto camera and a new design with Dynamic Island it is by no means something that I would pay Ā£999 for.
  • @brianbrino4310
    Excellent Analysis and recommendations and my family already got the 15 some months ago! Thank you so much Brandon!
  • @ZaidViewHD
    Thank you for this helpful video Iā€™ve been wanting to a value phone
  • @neelepln
    15 Pro is PERFECT! Yet I got the 15, since I got a nice plan and honestly donā€™t need the any of the pro exklusive features
  • @ysmg9010
    Great overview :) I know you focused on new models. Tho I think a refurbished (with new battery) 13 Pro / 14 Pro can be interestign for people that care about the ProMotion Display or the tele lens. I use a 13 pro myself and don't see the need to upgrade, currently.
  • @AskKittyAI
    went from xs max to 13 mini happy with my purchase. The only downside is I don't have a brick to knock someone out if I ever need to.
  • @turkicaz5505
    Had the iPhone Xr since 2018 and last week I was at Apple Store to test the new iPhone's and the normal iPhone 15 felt like my Xr slow and laggy so not a big upgrade. And that after 6 years... Only the Pro Max felt like an upgrade with 120hz, 5x zoom etc. so I bought the 15 Pro Max šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼
  • @HarisWoodshop
    Love my 13 mini to record my work and not planning on changing it soon. Thanks for the video šŸ‘
  • @user-kx6rp4nm2n
    Although I wouldn't wanna use one as my main phone, I'm perfectly happy with the SE 3rd gen as a secondary device. Just picked one up $160 used about a month ago. I don't mind the outdated design at all as I already use a galaxy S23 as my main phone. As a matter of fact, it's actually kind of appealing since this'll likely be my VERY last chance to enjoy the good ol' home button and touch id. Not to mention it allows me to also experience iOS without giving up android or breaking the bank.
  • @ashaganesan4090
    Very nice and organised video.. I got every information I needed in half an hour.. very well donešŸ‘
  • @slyzn
    Extra technical facts about the camera. The front facing camera on 14 series and onwards have auto focus. Prior to 14 series, all have older sensor with no auto-focus capabilities. The ultra-wide camera and sensor on non pro model including 15 series have inferior sensor, slower aperture speed and doesnā€™t have auto focus compared to Pro models. The quality difference is massively noticeable at medium to low light conditions. The ultra-wide on 15 Pro series shares the same sensor with 14 Pro series. Sony IMX633. The 48 MP main camera on 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are identical to 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Using Sony IMX803 with larger sensor (1/1.28ā€), larger pixel size (1.22 um) and much wider 24mm focal length. The baseline 15 series 48MP is newer design but comes with smaller sensor (1/1.56ā€), smaller pixel size (1.0 um) and standard 26mm focal length.

    Ended up picking up a refurbished 13 Pro Max with a significant discount after rocking an SE 2nd gen for about four years- planning on keeping this until at least another 4 years are up. The upgrade is real, even if the 13PM is a couple years old now; the 120Hz screen is wonderful in particular.
  • @BoomThannG
    Awesome review. Incredibly informative - looking forward to purchasing a new iPhone. Iā€™m swaying towards the 15plus. The pro max battery life put me off somewhat. šŸ˜Š
  • @colandabrown9257
    Hello Brandon, peace and blessings and love to you and your family. Another great video. I actually have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I love it. I truly truly love it. I really do. I love the purple. I love everything about it.
  • @mcdazz2011
    Exactly what I need, when I need it, so thanks!!! (Still using an iPhone 7 Plus).
  • Just bought a 15 Plus. Upgraded from the 12. Ear speaker finally took a šŸ’© so I caved. Loving this phone so far. I need something like an otterbox I work on cars all the time.
