The iPhone 15 Pro Max boasts several notable improvements in its camera system, setting it apart from the rest of the iPhone 15 lineup. With extra digital lenses and a dedicated 5x telephoto lens, users have more framing options. The video quality on this model is unmatched, offering a ProRes log output. The camera excels in low-light photography, significantly enhancing photos taken at night. Additionally, a software feature allows users to add a portrait mode blur effect after a photo is captured. While these changes enhance the user experience, professional photographers believe that there is still a missing piece in this camera system.
In order to test the capabilities of the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera, a professional photographer embarked on a project to take 1,000 photos with the latest smartphone camera system. The photographer documented their journey through their YouTube series called “Full Frame” and traveled to Southern California to put the iPhone 15 Pro Max to the test. Despite engaging in activities that normally challenge camera capabilities, such as off-roading in a rental car, hiking in the harsh midday sun, and capturing images on sand dunes at night, the photographer returned with over 1,500 photos and videos. It is evident that the iPhone 15 Pro Max features Apple’s best camera system to date.
