When Apple announced the new iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max on Tuesday, you would have been hard-pressed to miss the announcement about the powerhouse underneath its fancy new titanium construction: the A17 Pro chip.
In case you missed it, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have transcended the age-old ringer/silent switch that has accompanied every iPhone since the first generation. While the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus still have the regular ringer/silent switch, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max instead replace it with what’s being called the Action Button, and it’s very similar to the one that we’ve already had on the now one-year-old Apple Watch Ultra.
You might’ve heard by now that the new iPhone 15 & 15 Pro series handsets are now equipped with USB-C ports instead of Lightning, and Apple has even released a new adapter that can convert new iPhones back to the Lightning port for those unready to invest in new accessories.
Remember those days when you would need to buy an adapter to adapt all and any of your accessories to the iPhone’s proprietary Lightning port? Those days are long gone now that the iPhone 15 & 15 Pro series have finally adopted USB-C.
Apple’s special event on Tuesday saw the unveiling of the new iPhone 15 lineup, including the iPhone 15 Pro and its bigger brother, the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Apple has unveiled the new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max with new computational photography features that makes full use of the new A17 Bionic chip.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro will reportedly increase the resolution of the telephoto and ultra wide cameras beyond 12 megapixels.
The upcoming "Wonderlust" Apple event on September 12 will debut a new iPhone 15 family and several other hardware refreshes and new products.
Apple could ship the iPhone 15 Pro Max in October because Sony might be unable to deliver the new image sensor as planned, potentially leading to an unexpected delay.
The iPhone 15 Pros will use Apple’s upcoming A17 Bionic chip equipped with 6GB of RAM, the same as the iPhone 14 Pro models, a leaker claims.
The iPhone 15 Pros could get a stronger, lighter titanium frame and visibly thinner screen bezels on the sides for an even more seamless display design.
Retail prices of the iPhone 15 Pros could increase by $100 to $200, pushing the base iPhone 15 Pro Max model close to $1300, $200 more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
