While last year, the camera received significant updates, this year Apple made changes to the design for the iPhone 15 Pro series. We get a new titanium housing, slightly smaller bezels, which means a marginally larger display while keeping the device’s overall size the same. Additionally, the camera has been updated; essentially, they have further improved the iPhone 14 Pro’s camera, and the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max also received a new lens, allowing for a 120mm optical zoom. Furthermore, we have an Action button, an A17 Pro processor, and USB-C support. This is not a bad update on its own, and many people will switch from older devices to this one. Let’s take a closer look at each of the new features.
First and foremost, there’s the new titanium housing. Essentially, it’s a special alloy that NASA uses even on Mars due to its exceptional machinability, durability, and lightweight properties. According to Apple, the device is lighter, and you can feel it. Journalists have already had the chance to hold these devices, and indeed, everyone feels that the new series is lighter. This may signal that we might see more iPhones with titanium housings in the future, perhaps even for iPads.
These are the lightest Pro models ever, making them the lightest devices of recent years. We get new contoured edges with the thinnest bezels of any iPhone, making them even thinner than any other iPhone to date.
The titanium edges have an eye-catching, finely brushed surface, the result of precise machining, polishing, smoothing, and shot peening. With the new curved edges and the slimmest perimeter in iPhone history, it’s even more comfortable to hold.
The titanium edge is attached to the new internal aluminum frame using solid-state diffusion. In an innovative process applied for the first time in the industry, we create an incredibly strong bond between the two different metals.
The internal frame is made entirely from 100% recycled aluminum, contributing to the use of recycled materials in our products and helping achieve our 2030 climate goals.
The new titanium design is available in four colors: Natural Titanium, Blue Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium. Cases and screen protectors are already available on the Smartdiszkont website.
This year, the display remains unchanged, so we get the same display as introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro series, which can reach a brightness of up to 2000 nits in daylight.
The ProMotion technology allows for a variable refresh rate between 10 and 120 refreshes per second. When exceptional graphics performance is needed, it intelligently increases the refresh rate, but at other times, it reduces it to save battery life. Naturally, the always-on display and Dynamic Island are also available here.
