On September 12, Apple will unveil its latest technological arsenal at its annual launch event at 12pm (Colombian time) under the intriguing slogan ‘Wonderlust’ (a clever twist on the term ‘wanderlust’, a phrase that evokes wanderlust). introduced. In addition to introducing the world to new iPhone models, the company also introduced Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.
In this article, we will dive into a detailed comparison between iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro, focusing only on its physical features and leaving aside the functionality and software features for now.

Both iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro have a 6.1″ Super Retina XDR display. Both models feature ProMotion technology and always-on display functionality. They also share the same resolution of 2,556 x 1,179 pixels at 460 p/p.
iPhone 14 Pro has a stainless steel finish, a textured matte glass back, and a volume/mute button. On the other hand, iPhone 15 Pro prefers titanium coating, It also has a textured matte glass back, but also features an “Action Button” that can be configured to perform specific tasks. Despite these differences, both models retain the “Dynamic Island” design, an innovation that Apple decided to keep.

While iPhone 14 Pro is powered by the A16 Bionic Chip, iPhone 15 Pro goes one step forward with the A17 Pro Chip. Even though both chips have a 6-core CPU and a 16-core Neural Engine, the iPhone 15 Pro outperforms its rivals. The previous model has a 6-core GPU compared to the 5-core GPU on the iPhone 14 Pro.
Both models feature the same Pro camera system, including a 48 Mpx main camera, a 12 Mpx ultra-wide angle and a 12 Mpx telephoto lens. Apertures and optical zoom capabilities are also consistent between both devices.

iPhone 14 Pro:
Height: 14.75cm
Width: 7.15cm
Thickness: 0.78cm
Weight: 206g
iPhone 15 Pro:
Height: 14.66cm
Width: 7.06cm
Thickness: 0.83cm
Weight: 187g
Although the differences are minimal, the iPhone 15 Pro is slightly more compact and lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro. These differences, although subtle, may be noticed by some users.
One of the most notable differences is the connector. The iPhone 14 Pro uses a Lightning connector that is compatible with USB 2, while the iPhone 15 Pro switches to USB-C, which is compatible with USB 3 and offers speeds of up to 10 Gb/s.

iPhone 14 Pro is available in colors such as Dark Purple, Gold, Silver and Space Black. iPhone 15 Pro, on the other hand, offers a titanium-based palette with options such as Natural Titanium, Blue Titanium, White Titanium and Black Titanium.
iPhone 15 Pro marks a milestone in Apple history as the first iPhone to feature an aerospace-grade titanium design. These are the lightest Pro models to date, thanks to one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any metal.
In the graphics field, iPhone 15 Pro introduces an important new feature: hardware-accelerated ray tracing. This technology delivers up to four times faster performance than software-based ray tracing, resulting in smoother graphics and more realistic lighting. Additionally, MetalFX Upscaling, which combines GPU and Neural Engine performance, produces high-resolution graphics while consuming less power, enabling longer gaming sessions.
Photography has also made significant progress. The 48MP main camera is more advanced than ever, capturing super high-resolution photos with a new level of detail and colour.
The new Photonic Engine plays a crucial role here, combining the best pixels of a super high-resolution image with pixels optimized for light capture. The result is 24 MP photos with twice the resolution than before. Additional professional options such as 48MP HEIF and 48MP ProRAW are also offered for those who want more control over their images.
The Photonic Engine doesn’t just enhance still images. Supercharge portraits with more detail, true-to-life colors, zero shutter lag, and up to twice better low-light performance.
Meanwhile, night mode has been optimized to allow users to see their subjects more clearly in dark scenes. On the video front, Cinematic mode automatically shifts focus to the most important subject in the scene and enables quality optical close-ups with the new 2x zoom.
Moreover, iPhone 15 Pro is proud to be the first smartphone to support ACES, the global color standard for major film productions.
Finally, in terms of connectivity, the iPhone 15 Pro brings a significant change as the first iPhone to support USB 3. This represents a revolution in data transfer speeds, making it easier for professional workflows to happen faster than ever before. Additionally, the new USB-C connector simplifies the user experience by allowing you to charge other Apple devices, such as your Mac or iPad, using the same cable used to charge the iPhone 15 Pro.
