Design
The iPhone 15 Pro series design language has been reinvented. Unlike the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus which features a aluminum frame, the Pro version which includes the iPhone 15 Pro Max has opted for a new titanium alloy frame with a textured matte glass back.
The titanium has a new matte, brush texture and it is accompanied by an aluminum internal frame that improves thermal dissipation of the back glass.
Furthermore, the frame has more contoured edges and the thinnest border ever seen on an iPhone. The thin bezel is one obvious changes made on the iPhone 15 Pro, although we still have the 6.1-inches display on which dominates the front, the bezel has gotten thinner and protected by Apple’s Ceramic Shield, a transparent material containing ceramic crystals for extra protection.
Meanwhile, the return of the Dynamic Island notch from the iPhone 14 Pro also made this possible. The Dynamic Island is a new way to interact with important alerts and Live Activities. It is located at the top of the display and features a pill-shaped cutout for the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors.
The Dynamic Island can display information such as incoming calls, and notifications. There’s is also a customizable Action button that’s modeled after the Action button on the Apple Watch Ultra, and it replaces the mute switch
Lastly, we have the new USB-C port which replaces the old Lightning connector positioned at the bottom edge of the iPhone 15 Pro. Overall, the iPhone 15 Pro weighs just 187g compared to the iPhone 14 Pro’s 206g. It is available in new titanium colors, including Black Titanium, White Titanium, Blue Titanium, and Natural Titanium, offering a more subdued and rugged appearance.
Display
The iPhone 15 Pro continues to impress with its stunning 6.1-inch Super XDR OLED screen, carrying forward the excellence of its predecessor. However, when compared to the larger 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the 6.1-inch screen might seem slightly less impressive, but it still maintains its exceptional quality.
The display specifications remain unchanged from its predecessor, with the same 2,556 x 1,179 resolution and a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate. This consistency means the device can achieve a top typical brightness of 1,600cd/m² during video playback, and it can extend to an impressive 2,000cd/m² in extremely bright ambient conditions using the High Brightness Mode (HBM).
In addition to these features, the display supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, enhancing color vibrancy and achieving deeper blacks. Apple’s ProMotion technology ensures smooth scrolling, animations, and gaming performance, providing an all-around exceptional visual experience. furthermore, the ProMotion technology adjusts the refresh rate between 10Hz and 120Hz based on the content being displayed, enhances the overall viewing experience.
As a notable feature, the Dynamic Island digital cutout makes a return, now present in every model of the iPhone 15 lineup. What truly stands out is the near absence of bezels, contributing to a more immersive display that instantly catches the eye.
The display remains a visual treat, characterized by its brightness, with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, making it ideal for outdoor usage. The reduction in bezel size adds to the overall allure of the screen.
Camera
The iPhone 15 Pro continues Apple’s legacy of excellence in smartphone photography with its impressive triple-camera setup. While it doesn’t introduce radical changes compared to its predecessor, it still manages to deliver outstanding photography capabilities.
The camera array includes a 48MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, dual pixel PDAF, and sensor-shift OIS. There is also a 3x optical zoom telephoto camera, with a 12 MP resolution and f/2.8 aperture, which allows for clear shots of distant subjects. Additionally, there’s a 12 MP ultrawide camera with a 120˚ field of view, perfect for landscape shots and creative photography. This device also has a TOF 3D LiDAR scanner that enhances depth sensing for portrait mode and AR applications.
While the iPhone 15 Pro may not have the 5x optical zoom of the Pro Max model, its 3x optical zoom still provides users with the ability to get closer to their subjects. The camera system benefits from enhancements in low-light performance and smarter HDR captures, ensuring accurate skin tones and well-balanced images.
For videographers, this device supporting 4K video at various frame rates, including 24/25/30/60fps, and 1080p at 25/30/60/120/240fps. It offers advanced features like 10-bit HDR, Dolby Vision HDR (up to 60fps), ProRes, Cinematic mode (4K@24/30fps), and 3D spatial video, all complemented by stereo sound recording. The inclusion of Log encoding preserves more color data in video files, making it ideal for post-production work.
The selfie camera is a 12 MP wide camera with an f/1.9 aperture, PDAF, and OIS. It captures high-quality selfies and supports 4K video recording at 24/25/30/60fps. The addition of features like HDR and Cinematic mode further enhances the selfie camera’s capabilities.
