At the presentation on September 12, the Cupertino team presented a new generation of professional smartphones, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The update can hardly be called revolutionary; the device differs from previous ones only in a small set of features. Change for them iPhone 14 pro It’s definitely not necessary, but you can switch to a new product with an older device.
Now all the parameters of the two world flagships are comparable and the greatest differences.
1. Dimensions and body – titanium versus steel.
Dimensions of the new one iPhone 15 pro what to do 146.6 x 70.6 x 8.25 mm with weight 187 g. For the first time in the iPhone line, the smartphone body, or rather its frame, is made of titanium alloy, which is used in the aerospace field. The texture of the material is visible at the end.
Due to the more compact dimensions, the frame around the display has been reduced. The screen size and resolution remain the same.
At the presentation he said that iPhone 15 pro built on a new architectural building with better maintainability. We are waiting for the conclusion of the guys from I’m fixing it.
Available colors: black, white, blue and natural titanium.
Last year’s sizes iPhone 14 pro what to do 147.5 x 71.5 x 7.80 mm with weight 206 g. The frame at the end is steel.
The model range includes colors: black, white, gold and dark purple.
Which dimensions and body are better: body material new iPhone 15 it’s more marketing. The strength and use of the frame is good, but it is the glass panels that break more often than the metal at the end.
But I am pleased with the slight reduction in weight and dimensions. If changes in a normal body occur only with direct gaze, then -10% of the weight in the hand will be felt. But the floral palette is a matter of taste. One is more purple and gold, and the other is blue and titanium.
2. Hardware – transition to a 3nm chip and gaming capabilities
New iPhone 15 pro operates under chip control A17 Pro. Cupertino was the first to use such labeling of processors, skipping the model Apple A17 (perhaps such a processor will be available iPhone 16). A17 Pro is the first mobile 3nm chip, consisting of a 6-core processor and 6-core GPU, there is a 16-core system. Neural engine.
The chip contains modules for video encoding and data transmission control Type-C. There is now support for ray tracing on graphics at the hardware level. They promise a crazy increase in performance in games; they announced several new products specifically for this. In fact, +20-25% performance in synthetic tests is expected.
The amount of RAM in the new flagships has been increased to 8 GB. Most likely, this is needed to process and save video during shooting. This can also be noticeable in basic tasks. More applications and browser tabs should be stored in memory.
Guideline for selection – 128, 256, 512 GB or 1TB. But at iPhone 15 pro max drive launch model 128 GB will not be.
Last year’s flagship iPhone 14 pro operates under chip control A16 Bionic. It is a 4nm chip that has 6 CPU cores and 5 GPU cores, as well as a 16-core Neural engine.
Available models with storage 128, 256, 512 GB or 1 TB. The amount of RAM is 6 GB. The hardware is still top-notch, it will soon become outdated.
Who has better iron: will lean towards the new item. There is also a more powerful chip with new gaming capabilities and increased RAM. But such power is not needed everywhere, and the potential of the previous flagship has still not been revealed.
3. Other differences are a new button and a Type-C connector.
▶ An important innovation of the new line iPhone 15 pro replacement of the silent mode lever of the universal button has begun Action button. This is a graphic key superimposed on it, accompanied by tactile vibration. Compression and retention actions will be adjusted depending on the system. For example, you can set the activation mode Do not disturbincluding a flashlight, magnifying glass, or running an automation command.
▶ The second change was the transition from Lightning to more universal Type-C connector. Unlike the distance iPhone 15in firmware it controls the protocol USB 3.2data transfer speed is up to 10 Gbps.

▶ The new flagship now has support WiFi 6E (instead of WiFi 6 in previous models).
▶ iPhone 15 pro got a newer chip Apple Yu2 to move the gadget into the house. Last year’s flagships are turned on by a chip Apple U1. This feature will not work in Russia.
▶ They also announced support for the smart home standard A thread. It’s not entirely clear why it is needed in a smartphone. Using this protocol, smart home devices will communicate with each other and with you. Maybe, iPhone 15 pro You can interact with devices directly, but this is imprecise.

▶ Basic 48MP modular camera with some precautions. Added a new coating for the main lens flares. The module itself focuses better, especially in low light.
▶ Updated photo shooting document Smart HDR 5 and maintaining portrait mode for the main camera.
▶Model iPhone 15 pro max received an updated telephoto lens with focal length 120 mmwhich gives 5x optical zoom.
▶ Added support for recording video in the format ProRes 4K up to 60fps. Previous generation smartphones could record up to 30 frames per second in this format.
▶ The new product has learned to record video directly on the smartphone’s external one-minute memory drive, and also saves videos in 3D video format for the helmet. Vision Pro.
All differences are brief
▣ Dimensions are minimal. The new product is slightly lighter and more compact than the previous flagship. The materials, frames and colors of the case differ.
▣ The hardware of the new product is more powerful due to the new year 3nm processor and 8 GB RAM. It is noticeable that this will only be in graphic games that were only announced at presentations.
▣ Among other differences, it is worth noting the transition to Type-Cmulti-function button instead of the silent mode switch, improved camera (especially in models About Max).
The price for the basic firmware in the USA has not changed; the previous model, according to tradition, was removed from the shelves during the presentation. From resellers iPhone 14 pro will be sold at a reduced price, and at the moment it looks like a better buy. Killer tricks for the new year iPhone 15 pro no, but iPhone 15 pro max Why did they make it an even more expensive flagship by removing the model with the storage device? 128 GB.
