Pros
- 120 Hz ProMotion screen: smoother scrolling and animation
- 5x telephoto camera for zoomed photos
- 48 MP main camera for detailed photos
- Long battery life: up to 29 hours of video playback
Cons
- Apple no longer sells it new

- Heavy at 221 g
Our verdict. The iPhone 15 Pro Max suits people who want a telephoto camera and a smooth 120 Hz screen. Its strongest points are the 120 Hz ProMotion screen and the 5x telephoto camera. The trade-offs are a high launch price and its 221 g weight. Apple has stopped selling it, so check the retailer's price and condition; the newer option is the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
