The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have been finally announced with a new processor, cameras, and finally, USB Type-C. After years of people’s clamor, Apple finally gave in and dropped its proprietary Lightning tech.
With the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, you’re getting a new Titanium design that makes it much stronger while also lighter. They also have much thinner bezels. The Pro has a 6.1-inch while the Pro Max is 6.7 inches. Like in the standard iPhone 15, he Dynamic Island is still here.
There’s also the new Action Button that replaces the mute switch. You can customize it to launch the camera, mute the device, launch your favorite app, and more.
The new series also features Apple’s new A17 Pro chip, the first 3nm chip in the market. It has a 6-core CPU with 10% faster performance cores, 2x faster neural engine, dedicated engines for specific iPhone features, and a new USB controller for the, you guessed it, USB Type-C port, with up to 10Gbps transfer speeds.
Apple also highlighted the all-new 6-core GPU that’s 20% better performance and hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing. Gaming has also been improved by combining the powers of the neural engine and GPU. It also works with most game controllers.
As for the cameras, the Pro models will have an upgraded 48-megapixel main camera with Super High Resolution default mode. It also lets you shoot between three different focal lengths. There’s also a LiDAR sensor for better portraits even at night.
There’s also the 12-megapixel 3x telephoto lens. Plus, a 5x telephoto lens if you really want to go far or take close-ups using a proprietary lens and not the usual periscope-style found on Android devices.
Finally, there’s the improved 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, which now has macro capabilities. Spatial Video recording is also made possible by using both the main and ultra-wide cameras, which are best viewed using the Apple Pro Vision. The cameras are so advanced you can attach them to an external display or hard drive during professional shoots, which was also made possible by the USB-C port.
