In the " iPhone 16 Pro Max vs 15 Pro Max Camera - ACTUALLY Worse?" YouTube video by Daniel Z Tech, the speaker compares the camera performances of the two iPhones. Contrary to the title, the speaker finds some improvements in the 16 Pro Max, particularly in terms of image processing, which results in darker and more contrasty images, better detail in low light, and improved edge detection in portrait mode objects. However, the ultra-wide camera on the 16 Pro Max seems to be a downgrade in daytime shots, with more noise and less detail compared to the 15 Pro Max. The macro shots taken with the ultra-wide lens on the 16 Pro Max are sharper and have less noise, but the 48-megapixel mode on the ultra-wide lens is not impressive. The night mode video quality is better on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, while the front camera clarity is significantly worse on the 16 Pro Max. The special modes and audio isolation feature remain unchanged. The speaker is surprised by some of the camera changes, such as the better telephoto on the 16 Pro Max and worse ultrawide, despite the upgraded specs. The camera control button and 4K 120fps features are not used regularly by the speaker. Overall, the speaker finds the camera improvements on the iPhone 16 Pro Max to be minimal.
In this section of the YouTube video titled "iPhone 16 Pro Max vs 15 Pro Max Camera - ACTUALLY Worse?", Daniel Z Tech discusses the differences in camera performance between the two models. Contrary to the title, he finds that there are indeed some improvements in the 16 Pro Max, particularly in terms of image processing. The 16 Pro Max produces darker and more contrasty images than the 15 Pro Max in some tests, and it also retains more detail in low light and zoomed-in shots. However, the ultra-wide camera on the 16 Pro Max seems to be a downgrade in daytime shots, with more noise and less detail compared to the 15 Pro Max. Overall, while there are some improvements, the difference may not be significant enough for those who already have a 15 Pro or Pro Max to justify an upgrade solely for the camera.
In this section of the YouTube video titled "iPhone 16 Pro Max vs 15 Pro Max Camera - ACTUALLY Worse?", the speaker discusses their findings on the macro, ultra-wide, and night mode camera features of the new iPhone 16 Pro Max compared to the 15 Pro Max. The speaker notes that macro shots taken with the ultra-wide lens and digitally zoomed in are significantly sharper and have less noise on the 16 Pro Max. However, they were not always impressed with the 48-megapixel mode on the ultra-wide, as they found the lens to be quite soft around the edges and the difference in detail was not significant. Regarding portrait mode, the speaker found no improvements in person or pet portraits, with both photos looking exactly the same. For portrait mode objects, there was a slight improvement in edge detection on the 16 Pro Max. However, the speaker was generally underwhelmed by the new sensor and did not see any notable differences in terms of image quality, dynamic range, or color. When it came to video, the speaker could not see any notable differences between the two phones in terms of 4K 60 video or night mode video. However, the 16 Pro Max could record in 4K 120 FPS, which took up almost double the storage but offered improved dynamic range in slow-motion footage. The only downside was that you couldn't switch between lenses when recording 4K 120 and it could cause severe light flickering at night. Overall, the speaker was disappointed with the camera improvements on the iPhone 16 Pro Max and felt that the differences were minimal, especially when it came to the new sensor.
