ULTIMATE iPhone 16 Pro Max Test vs iPhone in PRIVATE JET

hey in this video we're doing an initial

reaction to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and

what it sounds like on a private jet

while we're flying here in the air

you'll see that in just a moment versus

the iPhone Pro Max 15 now ordinarily

when I film with the iPhone Pro 15 on

the plane I hear a lot of background

noise and I end up using a mic a

handheld mic which is a little annoying

because if I'm holding a mic and and I'm

holding my phone it's hard to scroll

through an iPad and reference data or

facts involved and evolved doesn't want

to lose their FDIC

licensing because then then you're I

mean technically you could be a bank I

suppose without FDIC but I don't even

know if you're allowed to call yourself

a bank in that case just holding

people's cash that's bad usually what I

find with older models of iPhones is

that when I'm filming I purposely try to

hold it so that uh the microphone uh is

where my hand is so I can sort of cup

noise away from the device so for

example with this prax I'm holding now

the mic is right here where my hand is

holding it anyway this is a pretty

comfortable position I just have to keep

remember as uh filming on this to look

at the lens uh not at myself or where my

hand is which is fine but initial

reactions of the uh 16 Pro Max first I

have to say the audio is excellent the

inframe audio for what it is for not

having an external handheld with all of

the plain noise excellent listen to the

comparison directly go ahead and put

that up right here this is the iPhone 15

Pro Max and I have to say while the

iPhone 16 Pro Max you can definitely

still hear some noise in the background

it's functional especially given how

noisy it is in here but compared to this

one oh my gosh this this is hardly

functional so you do seem to have a step

up from not functional to functional

initially as well I will say it does

feel slightly faster I don't notice the

difference in screen size though

physically it is slightly larger than

the 15 Pro Max uh this does use the a18

6 core versus the uh 5 core A6 that's in

this uh now one of the tests that I

wanted to do was see how fast it is to

actually open the camera control

settings using uh the iPhone Pro 16 Max

camera control button and we have

preserved settings on we have faster

shooting on we have wind noise reduction

on and we start by filming in spatial

audio and then afterwards in the photos

app we change it to inframe okay perfect

with that uh I want you to take a look

at some of the tests that I do here with

how quickly I can get to uh either

taking a photo or a video uh you could

theoretically set it to just open to

photo uh and then you could hold down

the action button on the camera to start

rolling a video which I think that's

useful because then I can just single

click to take photos or hold it to take

video or of course if I have an a little

bit of extra time I can switch it to

video and then just turn on the video

however I do notice that when you're in

the always on display setting as opposed

to the awake screen it takes two clicks

to get to the camera control so it's

like one click to get from always on to

actually functional and then another

click to open the camera up so the

double click I think is a little weird I

think that could be fixed with software

where you could one click from always on

display directly into the camera I do

think that would be important and

there's a little bit of a lag in the

capacitive touch for how quickly I can

get to the zoom settings I do a few

different scenarios here I'll walk you

through just so you can see the steps

that I'm going through who knows maybe

I'm making oopsy dosies with one of the

steps or whatever but I wanted to share

this experience because I honestly I

wasn't expecting to want an iPhone 16

mostly because I I didn't really care

about the speed of the camera control

function for my purposes uh the way I

have it set up right now is when I have

my phone open uh what I just do is I

push the little uh new button that they

introduced in the iPhone 15 uh and then

I have these options that pop up here

and then I can choose my photo video or

whatever else so I'm just running a

shortcut essentially I will say

the audio feature though for my purposes

especially since I often film in random

places or on a plane or whatever that

could be the one game changer that says

dang it you know maybe I should have

pre-ordered now you know I'll be waiting

a month to do it but I'm borrowing an

iPhone Pro 16 here uh from one of my

team members thank you Christian but uh

yeah let's look at uh some of the

footage here of uh trying to get this up

and running rapidly and uh let's see

what you think of it hey just a

disclaimer as we go into this section I

filmed this

about yay close to my mouth because I

was just sort of holding it sideways and

then talking into it and honestly it

kind of sounded a little bit muffled it

seems like it it's designed to have some

distance so I want you to hear it

because you know if if you're thinking

about using like a podcast mic it really

close kind of to your mouth it's not

that great you can kind of hear it fade

in fade out a little bit not that great

it does really seem like it's designed

to be about a foot away so a little

annoying so I've got a little bit of

Bend in my arm here and I mean I'm

probably 12 to 15 in away here I know

what 10 in looks like so this is about

12 to 15 I know that pretty well but

anyway uh so I think that's a worthy

consideration as well because if you

think oh yeah now I'm going to have the

a podcast mic I don't think so uh maybe

if you're taking notes what you're

really doing is you're putting it down

on the table in front of you and it's

that you know 12 to 15 in uh if uh if if

you're doing the handheld and you're

doing in frame or in studio which seems

to perform roughly similarly in this

position uh that's great but again

listen to it as we talk about some of

the issues with the uh rapidity like how

quickly you can unlock the phone uh and

just in advance sorry it's a little

muffled it's just honestly it's just a

fair and transparent test um and this

section right here that I'm filming is

again 12 to 15 inches away on Studio

mode okay first things first I'm

recording this just by holding the

iPhone 16 up to my mouth and we're going

to go ahead and put it on the uh you

know not in frame but we're actually

going to put it on the studio mode so

this is on the plane voice over recorded

on the plane Studio mode now what I'm

showing you here is how long it takes to

unlock the phone to go ahead and take a

snapshot and I also find the capacitive

touch to get that Zoom working isn't as

rapid as I would like uh and then I

think that's probably a personal problem

but watch this I lock okay I go to

unlock and I have to press twice to get

it to unlock I can get in the habit of

that and I really have trouble getting

that capacitive touch to actually react

to my finger and get that Zoom going

let's try it again so we're

locked there we go quick unlock once we

go from the unlock position that was a

little faster so faster test there it

could be that this is just a matter of

uh getting used to it see we're getting

decently fast there with the unlock not

super fast though with the zoom

certainly not with one hand that could

be another issue as well this might be a

lot easier if I use two hands but for a

one hand quickly out of the pocket

quickly to filming in a zoom uh the zoom

action isn't going to be as fast and

here's just another shot where we have

it on the always on display now it's

technically on the awake screen now it's

always on again and I want you to see

from here if I go to click it once one

click

now I get nothing all I did was wake it

up and then on the second click that's

where I actually get the camera controls

to unlock so I don't know that might not

be a big deal for a lot of folks uh and

then of course you can get into some of

these settings depending on if you're on

the front camera which right now I'm on

the front camera versus the rear camera

but uh it's worth noting uh when we go

here in just a moment to lock this again

see right now when I get for the go to

the capacitive touch try to get that

positioning right and I go to the

capacitive touch here with the forward

facing camera you're just going to go

through different settings because

there's no Zoom that you're going to use

on the forward facing camera and let's

just show you again here from always on

display let's lock it to make sure we're

on always on there we go always on we're

going to go grab it

lift it up it sees me it's still a lock

icon because it's not my phone I have to

click it twice to unlock it so I do

think there's a little bit of a downside

with that speed I think Apple could

probably release a software update and

fix that but again solely because

carrying around an external microphone

and an XLR cable is annoying and the

inframe is functional again it's it's

not as good as the handheld mic but it's

functional I do think there's an

argument for people who need to film on

the Fly journalists or whatever to

potentially consider this honestly I'm

selling myself on it uh which pretty

much always happens with Apple devices I

mean you could see my you know Vision

Apple device there on the floor by the

emergency exit but anyway so uh that's

my take uh thanks so much for watching

and that's what it's like having audio

on the iPhone Pro 16 Ma

iPhone 16 Pro Max let's get the orders

wrong oh well
