The driving force behind the iPhone 15 Pro is the astonishingly swift A17 Pro system-on-a-chip, elevating performance to unprecedented levels within the realm of smartphones.
Remarkably, this chipset’s power is such that it allows you to experience Sony PlayStation 5 titles, complete with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, including popular games like Resident Evil 4 Remake and Death Stranding.
iPhone 15 Pro Features
- Lighter Titanium frame
- MagSafe wireless charging
- Action button
- Improved 48-megapixel camera
- A17 Pro chip
- £100 cheaper than last years model
For those avid gamers who crave graphics-intensive experiences, the speed enhancements of the A17 Pro ensure that you’ll stay ahead of the curve and enjoy the latest iOS features for years to come.
Beyond the substantial internal upgrades of the iPhone 15 Pro models, Apple has also refined the case design, initially introduced with the iPhone 12 Pro series. These latest handsets notably shed weight due to the new titanium frame, replacing the stainless steel found in previous Pro iterations.
As always, the “Pro” designation comes with the promise of enhanced camera capabilities, and once again, Apple delivers with a beefier 48MP primary sensor. This provides greater versatility, even permitting users to adjust the focal point in post-processing. Nighttime photography sees significant improvements, yielding brighter images, while an update to Apple’s smart HDR technology enhances the overall quality of those crucial Instagram-worthy shots. It’s undeniably Apple’s most impressive camera system to date.
On the side, replacing the mute switch, you’ll find a new Action Button for rapid access to features like the camera and flashlight. On the larger Pro Max model, reaching this clever new switch might require some effort, but it’s a welcome addition. iPhone owners will undoubtedly enjoy creating Siri Shortcuts for launching various apps, automating tasks, and more with a single tap.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have made the switch to USB-C for charging and quicker data transfers, bidding farewell to the Lightning port after a long run. While the prospect of replacing charging cables, docks, and accessories may frustrate some, the convenience of having one cable and plug for all your devices outweighs the inconvenience.
The display now boasts slimmer bezels and increased brightness, all achieved without compromising battery life. Criticising the Pro is quite a challenge, especially as Apple has dropped the entry-level price from £1,099 last year with the iPhone 14 Pro, returning to the £999 price point seen with the iPhone 13 Pro.
While the Pro series has always represented the pinnacle of the iPhone lineup, these enhancements suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro may just be the finest smartphone of the past year.
Storage options and price:
128GB – £999.00 | 256GB – £1,099.00 | 512GB – £1,299.00 | 1TB – £1,499.00
As Apple continue to produce desirable and cutting edge smartphones there is now more than ever a reason to protect your iPhone 15 Pro against any mishaps.
Smartphones are an essential part of everyday life, and as such are increasingly valuable to us. As they have become more important and grown in value it’s important they are protected.
