Apple‘s highly anticipated iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are finally released.

You can choose from four different colors and from 256GB up to 1TB storage capacity; however, a 128GB model is available only for the iPhone 15 Pro. Finally, say goodbye to the old and slow lightning connector, as the new phones feature USB-C connectors with transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. It also features a new A17 Pro chip, a better camera system, a new action button, and many more. Below is a gist of what the new iPhones have to offer.
Apple Releases iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
Apple has unveiled the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, featuring a titanium build that makes them the lightest Pro models to date. The design incorporates contoured edges and a user-customizable Action button. The camera system has been upgraded, with a 48MP Main camera and improvements to Night mode, Smart HDR, and a new 5x Telephoto camera exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The A17 Pro chip enhances performance, while the USB-C connector now supports faster data transfer speeds.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max come in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes and feature a titanium alloy build for added durability. The Super Retina XDR display with Always-On and ProMotion technologies takes center stage.
New CPU and Action Button
Powered by the A17 Pro chip, these iPhones deliver improved performance, a faster CPU, and enhanced graphics for gaming. They support efficient video streaming with a dedicated AV1 decoder and USB 3 speeds.
The Action button replaces the traditional ring/silent switch and offers various functions like camera and flashlight access. A press-and-hold gesture provides tactile feedback to ensure users select the intended action.
The camera system integrates hardware and software for enhanced photography. The 48MP Main camera offers flexibility with different focal lengths, and next-gen portraits provide better detail and low-light performance. Night mode, Smart HDR, and video quality have also been upgraded.
USB-C Connector Replaces Lightning

Thread support opens the door to future Home app integrations.
Safety features include Crash Detection, Emergency SOS via satellite, and Roadside Assistance via satellite in the U.S., connecting users to AAA for help when stranded without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.
