During the ‘Wonderlust’ event, Apple unveiled its latest Pro smartphone, the iPhone 15 Pro, fulfilling many of the anticipated rumors.
The overall design maintains familiarity, but Apple has embraced a titanium frame for the Pro series, reducing the device’s weight compared to stainless steel. Smaller, curved bezels provide a more compact display frame.
The incorporation of titanium renders the iPhone 15 Pro the lightest among Pro iPhones, with reduced overall dimensions while preserving screen size
The iPhone 15 Pro showcases a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR screen, reinforced by Ceramic Shield for enhanced durability. Its well-known always-on OLED display features ProMotion technology, offering adaptable refresh rates of up to 120Hz.
This display presents a resolution of 2556-by-1179 pixels, delivering a pixel-per-inch density of 460. It supports features such as True Tone, wide color gamut (P3), Haptic Touch, and boasts an impressive 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Under typical usage, it achieves a maximum brightness of 1000 nits, but it can be cranked up to 2000 nits at its peak.
The Action Button offers full customization, featuring adjustable haptic feedback levels. Out of the box, it functions as the ring/silent switch, activated by a long press.
With a single press, users can either record a voice memo or initiate the Camera app. Furthermore, it allows the activation of accessibility features or Shortcuts, expanding the range of available options.
Apple has incorporated the A17 Pro processor in the iPhone 15 Pro, delivering superior performance compared to the A16 Bionic. This chip is crafted using a cutting-edge 3nm manufacturing process and incorporates two high-performance cores along with four energy-efficient cores.
The A17 Pro chip, featured in the iPhone 15 Pro, marks a new generation of Apple’s processor technology. Boasting an impressive 19 billion transistors, it introduces a novel 6-core CPU architecture, consisting of two high-performance cores and four energy-efficient cores.
This revamped CPU elevates both the performance and efficiency cores, with the high-performance cores now delivering a 10% increase in speed. Meanwhile, the efficiency cores contribute to enhanced overall performance.
The fresh 16-core Neural Engine now handles a staggering 35 trillion operations per second. This maintains user data on the device, enhancing autocorrect performance and various other aspects.
The iPhone 15 Pro houses a tri-camera system on its rear. The primary camera features an impressive 48-megapixel sensor with an f/1.78 aperture, incorporating a new nano-scale coating to minimize lens flare, resulting in improved Portrait and Night Mode photography.
The iPhone 15 Pro introduces the all-new Ultra Wideband 2 chip, enhancing its ability to locate not only misplaced devices but also other gadgets equipped with this advanced chip. With UW2, the iPhone 15 Pro can pinpoint the whereabouts of friends and family members in crowded environments, contingent upon their sharing of location data through Find My.
MagSafe, a hallmark feature, remains a part of the iPhone 15 Pro, ensuring precise alignment for both MagSafe and Qi2 wireless chargers for magnetic wireless charging.
To elevate wireless performance, the iPhone 15 Pro adopts Wi-Fi 6E, potentially doubling wireless speeds. Additionally, it is Thread-enabled, enhancing compatibility with a wide range of smart home products.
In terms of safety features, Apple is expanding access to emergency services. The new iPhone supports Roadside Assistance via satellite, forming a partnership with AAA in the United States. This service enables iPhone 15 Pro owners to seek assistance even when cellular or Wi-Fi connections are unavailable. It prompts users to complete a questionnaire, specifying their issue, such as a flat tire or being locked out. Once connected, Roadside Assistance via satellite relays the user’s precise location to AAA. This service will be complimentary for the first two years.
The iPhone 15 Pro starts at a price of $999 for the 128GB model and comes in four striking colors: black titanium, white titanium, natural titanium, and blue titanium
