Features
Apple just announced its new high-end iPhones: the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. They’re made of titanium, they have Action Buttons and Apple promises they’re the most powerful smartphones Apple has ever made. The 15 Pro starts with 128GB of storage and the Pro Max with 256GB of storage. Both will be available for preorder.
This year’s Pro has a 6.1-inch screen, and the Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display same as the new iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. Both are powered by the A17 Pro chip, which Apple has the fastest performance in any smartphone and can even challenge some high-end PCs. Along with a redesigned GPU, Apple seems to think these devices could be poised to level up the kinds of games you can play on your phone. (Of course, Apple likes to talk a lot about high-end gaming, and the results… don’t always keep up.)

Important Updates
Action Button
The Action Button, which replaces the ringer switch on the left side of the iPhone Pro, is a new button that you can customize to run shortcuts, bring up accessibility features, open the camera, turn on the flashlight, and more. By default, it’s still a ringer switch, but you’ll want to use it to do more.
USB-C
Both phones iPhone 15 and Pro have a USB-C port on the bottom rather than the old Lightning port. But in the Pro’s case, it could be for more than charging: Apple says the 15 Pro is the first phone with 10Gbps transfer speeds, which will make getting photos and videos (or large files of any kind) off your phone vastly easier.
Stand By Mode
The iPhone 15 Pros have Super Retina XDR displays with ProMotion and supports the always-on display and the new StandBy mode in iOS 17.
Camera
On the video side, you’ll be able to shoot 4K60 ProRes video on the devices or even shoot directly to an external drive through the USB-C port (as long as you have the right cable). The 15 Pro can capture “spatial video,” too, the kinds of 3D content we’ve been seeing for the Vision Pro though that feature’s coming later this year. It’s clear that Apple imagines the 15 Pro as both a consumer device but also a genuine professional tool for the creators and filmmakers of the world.
