You should read these eight key points before buying the iPhone 15 Pro series. In the past few days, you should have seen many media machines released by Apple being tested first. Now let’s take a look at how the commercial version of the iPhone 15 series performs. Let’s talk about it . Starting from iPhone 11, iPhone 12, 13, 14 and this year’s iPhone 15, videos have been uploaded every year. I am seriously asking where can I redeem the Apple Park tickets that have collected five dots ? Everyone is welcome to leave a message and send it to us. Well, Apple Park. Having said that , although this episode is geared towards quick actual testing , the data testing is still very sufficient. We will still try our best to run the key tests as well as possible. Except for some items that cannot be tested because of iOS 17 or the measured data is incomplete and inaccurate, we will I will save it first and then test it in detail. At the end of the program, I will also talk to you about purchasing suggestions. How does the commercially available version of the iPhone 15 series perform? Let’s take a look. We bought iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max . It’s a bit expensive to test three units . Please give me your support. Don’t forget to subscribe to Bonnie before starting. The complete actual test will be launched soon. The first focus is the iPhone 15. The entire series will be on the dynamic island. Although it is said to be a dynamic island , It should be very obvious if we put a strong light on it . In fact, it is the same as the iPhone 14 Pro series. It is actually an exclamation mark and then transformed into a dynamic island through the UI. How about the display performance? This time, the entire iPhone 15 series is not divided into Pro. All Pros use Super Retina XDR. The official display maximum brightness reaches 1000 nits. Under HDR, it can reach 1600 nits. The peak brightness can reach 2000 nits outdoors. Please note that the maximum brightness is 1000 nits peak brightness . It is 2000 nits , so what is the peak value? Simply put, the characteristic brightness of the OLED screen panel and voltage control will change with the display area. For example, our actual test here on the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 1078 nits under a strong all-white screen. Specially , if there is the same strong light but only 10% of the area is displayed, it can reach 2365 nits. This is the so-called peak brightness, so we also measured the performance of three devices here. The iPhone 15 reached 975 nits in terms of strong light all-white screen brightness. iPhone 15 Pro 1043 nits iPhone 15 Pro Max 1078 nits. If the area is about 10%, the iPhone 15 can reach 2139 nits. iPhone 15 Pro 2209 nits. iPhone 15 Pro Max 2365 nits. Looking at this year based on this result The screen performance of the iPhone 15 series is enough to pass the test, but on the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro can actually reach the same level. To a certain extent, the Pro series has not improved. In terms of actual performance, we have also come up with this set of overall performance. I bought a test equipment that costs 10,000 US dollars and can take multiple tests to see the results. Apple’s display performance is quite reassuring. According to actual tests , the Pro series can reach 99% in the sRGB color gamut. sRGB has corresponding color gamut reduction. The key point is to look at the color accuracy. The smaller the value of Delta E, the better . <2 means excellent. <1 means top level. The results of the three are simple and clear . In DCI-P3 mode, the Pro series can also reach 99%. The above DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and actual measured Delta E are also up to standard. Don’t worry about Apple’s screen. It may not be the top , but at least it is of a standard. After all, this year’s screen should also have a high proportion of Samsung’s top substrate . Why does Support say it is not the top? It’s very simple. This time, ProMotion 120Hz and Always-on display are still only limited to iPhone 15 Pro series users. And many people are concerned about whether 120Hz is free. Because of iOS 17, the test software is not ready yet , so detailed data will be added later, but the experience The upper sliding resistance is still too large , and it is not as radical as Android's 120Hz, which is completely liberating. However, Apple's battery is relatively small, and everyone should know that the peak power consumption performance of this generation A17 Pro is somewhat unsatisfactory , so I want to fully liberate this generation. It’s not big anymore , but iOS 17 is still very smooth, so let’s continue to look forward to the next generation. As usual, I will help you test a peripheral. Then let’s look at the second key point: charging. This time it is changed to USB C charging , but in the official announcement of charging There is no improvement in speed. According to our actual measurement, when the battery is about 10%, the maximum charging wattage of iPhone 15 is about 22W 15 Pro 23 W Pro Max 25W . However, because there is still a certain amount of power now, we will test the complete charge later. It’s time to share with you the charging data starting from 0%. In addition, MagSafe is still 15W. The official standard for ordinary wireless charging is 7.5W. However, if you have fast charging, you can actually achieve 15W , but this is the official old routine and only MagSafe can do it. What's special about the 15W mark is that it has C to C, so this time you can reverse charge through the C port. We actually tested the iPhone 15 Pro here and it can output a maximum of about 5W when reverse charged. The wattage is really not high, so take it . It is more suitable to charge headphones. What will happen if iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can charge each other? 3, 2, 1 The logic is very simple. Charge the one with more battery to the one with lower battery . But it is a pity that Apple still has not opened up Android. It has become very common. Wireless reverse charging is also very convenient to charge AirPods. What’s special is that this time the charging limit can be set in the system to further protect the battery. Next, let’s look at the third key point, which is the push-type mute button exclusive to the Pro series. The method of use is also very simple. You can switch to mute by long pressing. The iPhone 15 still has a normal design. However, there is a pain point in changing to a button design. We used to turn it around so that if there is a red color, it means that it has been muted. Now it is I can’t see it. I can only press the dynamic island again and it will be displayed. I think Apple may be able to put a small prompt on the screen or on the edge like now . Otherwise, it’s really a bit of a blind operation now. In addition, this button can be used to set many shortcut options. For example, if I choose to activate the camera here, press and hold it to activate the camera. This button can also be used as a camera button. Although the volume button can be used to quickly activate voice memos , it is a pity. His long press gesture only corresponds to one function , so unless you use it frequently, the current use scenarios will be relatively limited. That is to say, if you set it to the camera, you cannot adjust the mute. Although you can add shortcuts to start a series of operations , but in For example, pressing the button twice and three times corresponds to different functions. Apple should be able to open up customization and it will be much easier to use than now . I think this button is still in a stage where the future is promising but the current application is limited. The fourth important point is to take a brief look at the box. Let’s quickly focus on the key points. This time, the entire iPhone 15 series adopts an environmentally friendly box design, which means that the accessories in the box are mainly only Light... Oh, no, finally, the box of the iPhone Finally equipped with a USB C to USB C cable. Although the included USB C does not include a high-speed cable, only USB 2.0 specifications , the design quality of the braided cable is sufficient, but it is not as Mac-like as the previous network cable . The corresponding body color is not all white, and the sense of ceremony still needs to be there. Let’s quickly tear off the sealing film. From the appearance, the three of us bought the blue version. I was right. This iPhone 15 looks like white. For the blue version, you can see that the box is blue. But I can only say that if you expect it to be a light and light sky blue, you will be a bit disappointed. The bluer parts are the matte side frames and lens glass. Partially but very light blue back panel is a cooler white , probably 8000-9000K white, but I think it needs to be reversed. If you are a friend who chooses this as a cool white, you will probably like it very much . In addition, The matte surface is very complete and there is no reflection at all . However, when I started using this generation, I noticed that there is a difference between the Pro version and the non-Pro version. That is, if you look at the iPhone 15 Pro, the power button still maintains Apple's usual high-level craftsmanship and is very tight and not The power button of the iPhone 15 Pro is slightly loose, but it is still within an acceptable range. I believe everyone is familiar with the blue version of the iPhone 15 Pro. I will only focus on the oil stains and color differences around the buttons reported online. If you touch it slightly, there will be a circle , but it is not paint peeling. In addition, the frame is different from the very delicate and clear hairline pattern on the official website picture. The actual machine is a bit delicate and not very obvious . The blue back panel has a glossy coating, so It feels a bit different from the full matte surface on the official website. If you move it left and right, the glossy surface will appear. I put the official picture next to it for comparison and everyone will understand. So for this generation, I always recommend going to the site to see the color and the appearance . After entering the fifth key point, the performance will be overjoyed . The iPhone 15 Pro series finally uses 8 GB of memory, but I believe everyone is more concerned about the performance of the A17 Pro. Let’s run the benchmarks first. We have also specially prepared a battery with 100% health and updated it . Go to the latest version of iPhone 14 Pro for companion testing. Because I know that the battery health of the iPhone 14 series is prone to rapid decline, so I specially prepared a nearly brand-new machine. Everyone will feel more at ease and the data will be more valuable for reference. First, Geekbench 5 It can be seen that iPhone 15 is almost the same as the previous generation without any surprise. Compared with iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro series has improved by 12.7% in single core and 8.2% in multi-core. The CPU part is still ahead of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. But the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is actually on the way. I will test it in detail at that time. But for now, I think the peak performance of the iPhone 15 Pro is a bit weak. The reason is that it exceeded the Geekbench 5 6000 score mark and the whole The power consumption of the machine has exceeded 15W. The wattage of 15W (slip of the tongue) is about to catch up with the processors of many low-power laptops. It is completely unrealistic for the size of a mobile phone. Basically, it must be down-clocked, otherwise it will be compared with Qualcomm. The same as the Fire Dragon series , but Apple shouldn't call it Fire Dragon , so what should we call it? Forget it, call it Dragon Fruit. By the way, the test software we use is also stepping up support for iOS 17 , so all the test data for game tests like Genshin Impact will be available later. After detailed testing and updating, the production of the program is not easy. Please support us. You are also welcome to sponsor us by joining the channel membership or YouTube's super thank you button to complete more reference-worthy actual testing programs . In the GPU part, we will directly test 3DMark Wild Life. The A17 Pro of the Extreme iPhone 15 Pro has indeed improved. Compared with the A16 of the iPhone 14 Pro, it has improved by about 8.2%. It is 20% stronger than the A16 of the iPhone 15, reaching the 20% improvement claimed by Apple . But look at the A17 Pro GPU from another perspective. It is still not better than Qualcomm’s masterpiece Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 , and the A17 Pro GPU is also produced with high power consumption. There is still a big gap between the relatively low energy consumption and high performance GPU of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The real rival of A17 Pro, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, has not yet appeared. It seems that the pressure on the GPU is now on Apple's side. This new GPU architecture still has a way to go. After all, changing the architecture to add one core only adds 20%. In other words, the performance is relatively limited after deducting the new core improvements . Fortunately, we finally tested 3DMark’s Solar Bay light tracing test. A17 Pro finally came back . It is indeed the SoC with the strongest light tracing performance currently. In terms of performance, this generation of A17 Pro is really not a good product from Apple. It can be expected that it will be hotter and consume more power unless Apple stays on the low-frequency curve throughout the whole process and uses mid-low frequencies with better energy consumption performance. But if you Friends who originally thought that the power of the iPhone 14 Pro series was not enough, the iPhone 15 Pro series is really no surprise. The performance is at best even , but as long as the Loading is higher It is completely expected that the power consumption and heat generation of the iPhone 15 Pro will be more serious. The sixth point is good. We roughly know the performance of the A17 Pro. So in terms of actual experience, is it easy to heat up? Let’s first test the 30-minute 4K 60FPS Dolby Vision continuous recording test. You can see The temperature of the iPhone 14 Pro, which is 100% healthy in the control group, is the lowest at only 37.7 degrees, which is about four degrees lower than the hottest iPhone 15 Pro. Therefore, it is not groundless that the 15 Pro / Pro Max becomes hot while recording , and we measured 26 degrees this time. Oh , is it time to do a 30 degree test to simulate summer? The power drop is fixed at 200 nits. I also listed it for your reference. We also ran 3DMark Wild Life Extreme 20 rounds of stress test control group. The iPhone 14 Pro scored 66.7 % stability, the higher the better. The highest temperature of the iPhone 15 reaches 38.3 degrees . The stability is almost 74.9%. The highest temperature reaches 41.3 degrees. The stability of the iPhone 15 Pro is 82.5%. The stability of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 76.8% . The highest temperatures of the two models are 41.4 degrees and 39.8 degrees respectively. Compared with some Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 models with better heat dissipation, there is really a gap in stability , but it can be expected, so we will compare it with the S23 Ultra. The S23 Ultra The lowest score in the round is still 4.4% higher than the iPhone 15 Pro Max (slip of the tongue) Genshin Impact test. We are still waiting for the test software to update the corresponding support for iOS 17 before updating it for your reference. But compared with these tests, I believe that everyone will The first time I felt the enthusiasm for the A17 Pro was when I updated iOS 17.0.2 for the first time. When I started the update, I saw that the temperatures of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max quickly reached 41 and 42 degrees, while the iPhone 15 because The A16 is relatively cool in terms of temperature throughout the process. The highest temperature is 36 and 37 degrees. The seventh key camera is because the time that can be tested this time is relatively limited. I won’t waste everyone’s time and quickly go through the specifications. The iPhone 15 only has the main lens plus ultrasonic. The wide-angle iPhone 15 Pro has two main lenses, ultra-wide-angle plus 3x optical lens. The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a main lens ultra-wide-angle plus a brand-new 5x optical telephoto three-lens camera. We will test it in detail later, so I will provide it here first. A few sets of sample photos for your reference. I think there are two main highlights of this camera. The first is that the default photo resolution is increased to 24 million pixels, so in most test scenes, the detail performance is better than that of the iPhone 14 Pro . Although the HDR of the second generation is also not very active , at least it is not completely ruined. We will take more sample photos in the future. In addition , there are still ghost images that everyone is concerned about. We will also test the zoom of the iPhone 15 Pro here. In fact, compared with the previous generation, I think there is no obvious difference. The iPhone 15 does not have a telephoto, which is basically the normal performance. Here are 3X, 5X, and 10X, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max uses a 5x optical zoom. Let’s look directly at the lenses : 5X, 10X, 15X and the highest magnification of 25x. Here, compared with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the zoom king is still Samsung. After all, where is the optical 10x? Currently , the four-reflection 5x telephoto lens is photographed in sufficient light . The image quality is quite usable , but there are also ghosts. It will be a little looser under insufficient light , but still within an acceptable range. However, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a full zoom range of 3 to 5 times as we previously expected. It is not as good as the Galaxy S23 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro which have triple optics. Especially when we see the 4.9x difference, the difference is very obvious. So if you are buying it for taking pictures, you still have to think about whether you want to take long shots or people. Otherwise, 70mm or so 3 The magnification optical lens is more practical for photographing people and children. Coming to the last important point of purchase, I recommend this generation of iPhone 15 non-Pro version. Unless you just need to change the phone , the specifications of the iPhone 15 really don’t have many highlights. I think you really need to change it . Users of the previous iPhone 11 should consider the iPhone 12. There will be improvements in the future, but the experience is limited. Since the release of the iPhone 15, I know that the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 series have been swept away by various organizations and channels. This generation, I seriously think the Pro series is more worthwhile. There is absolutely no CP value. Who buys Apple for cost-effectiveness ? But after playing with the Pro series until now, I feel that the user improvement of iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro will be very limited . Maybe USB C is the most attractive part . If it is before iPhone 12 Pro Friends, I think the first thing I feel is that the super wide angle of the screen will be better and the subsequent zoom algorithm. But if you look at it from the perspective of whether it is necessary, I think the iPhone 11 Pro was preceded by the iPhone X and XS. I think it is worth it. Anyway, if you have an idea, go to the site and touch it to see if the color is the most accurate. Thank you everyone for seeing that it is not easy to produce the program here. Please support me. I am a donkey. Then we will see you in the next video.
