iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max: A Noteworthy Upgrade

The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max stand as the most significant enhancements to the range, possibly since the debut of the initial Pro Max in 2019. Like the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, these Pro models feature USB C – a standard now across other Apple devices and compatible with Android accessories.

Design and Screen Features

The Pro and Pro Max retain last year’s screen sizes, at 6.1″ and 6.7″, respectively. The models boast 120Hz OLED panels and a peak brightness of 2000 nits.

Apple has traded stainless steel in favor of titanium for the new Pro models’ frames, resulting in what they herald as the feather-light Pro models yet. The models also sport the thinnest bezels thus far.

iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max: Internals & Software

The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are equipped with the revolutionary A17 Pro chip. A pioneer in the tech industry, this is the first chip that boasts a 3nm process, propelling these new iPhones towards unprecedented advancement.

The A17 Pro Chip is a 6-core powerhouse with 2 high-performance cores. According to Apple, these cores deliver a performance that is 10% faster compared to the A16 Bionic chip. The A17 Pro chip also consists of 4 efficiency cores, enhancing the overall performance and user experience.

In terms of graphic processing, these models possess a 6-core GPU, which provides a significant 20% improvement in peak performance over its predecessor. One distinguishing feature of this GPU is its ability to handle hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing, which is reportedly four times faster than the software-enabled Ray Tracing that was a part of the previous chip.

During its launch event, Apple demonstrated seamless gameplay of console games such as Resident Evil Village and Assassin’s Creed Mirage on the new iPhone 15 Pro models. These titles are scheduled for release on these new devices in the coming year.

In relation to storage capacity, the iPhone 15 Pro series offers options up to 1TB. Additionally, all iPhone 15 models will come with the latest iOS 17 out-of-the-box.
