iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max
About
By investing in the iPhone 15 Pro and/or Pro Max, your experience will be elevated to new heights. Using a Titanium case, these higher-end model iPhones are incredibly light as well as substantially more durable. In fact, they represent the lightest Pro models ever.
Aside from the casing, the new Action Button on the side replaces the traditional Ring/Silent Switch and can be customized to run shortcuts or toggle the phone to silent with a button instead of a switch. It also offers haptic/visual feedback when pressed. Other key features include Always on Display, Pro Motion, and an enhanced Dynamic Island.
Thanks to the power of the A17 Pro Bionic Chip, the fastest silicon on iPhone, these premium models can rival certain desktop PCs thanks to 2 performance cores, 4 efficiency cores, and a 16-core neural engine. The chip also supports ray tracing.
