About

Mobile technology videos for the discerning gadget enthusiast, brought to you by Michael Fisher. My name is Michael Fisher. I’m a writer, sailor, podcaster and recovering actor whose childhood obsession with science fiction never quite faded. A quarter-century later, the technology that I coveted as a kid – from folding-screen phones to wearable tech – is woven into the fabric of everyday life. I’ve spent the past 15 years making videos that strive to uncover the truth of these products through detailed reviews. Welcome to MrMobile!

Video Description

Sponsored by dbrand. Skin (or Ghost) your iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max here: https://dbrand.com/mrmobile-ghost [iPHONE 15 PRO & iPHONE 15 PRO MAX HANDS-ON] I get it: the iPhone 15 doesn’t seem all that different than the iPhone 14 – which means it doesn't look all that different from the iPhone 13 (or even the 12 before that). Form factor fatigue is a big part of what drove me to foldables as my daily drivers, and to all outward appearances the iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max is, indeed, just another rectangle. But as rectangles go, it’s a pretty special one. In addition to finally bringing the USB-C port I've been asking for since the start of this channel in 2016, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max make three major changes that will really matter to the folks who line up at the Apple store every new iPhone season. For the first time, I went hands on with these new phones at Apple Park in Cupertino. Join me for the MrMobile First Look! [ABOUT THIS VIDEO] MrMobile's iPhone 15 Pro & iPhone 15 Pro Max Hands-On was produced following one day at Apple Park for the iPhone 15 launch event in Cupertino, CA. Devices pictured in this video are pre-production samples running pre-release software.
