iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max announced support for ray tracing and action buttons

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max Features

Both Pro models feature Super Retina XDR OLED displays. The iPhone 15 Pro has a screen size of 6.1 inches with a resolution of 2556 x 1179 pixels, while the Pro Max has a 6.7-inch screen with a resolution of 2796 x 1290 pixels. The panel supports 120Hz refresh rate ProMotion technology and always-on display. The devices retain the dynamic island design to house the 12-megapixel selfie camera with TrueDepth sensor for Face ID. The display is made of ceramic glass, just like other models in the series. You can enter standby mode by tilting your device to landscape mode while charging. The new always-on display feature displays useful information such as a clock and notifications.

The iPhone 15 Pro’s back panel has a matte glass back, while the frame is made of titanium. By getting rid of stainless steel, Apple has made the device very lightweight compared to the previous generation version. One notable change on the iPhone 15 Pro models is the removal of the Ring/Silent/Silent switch. Instead, the new smartphone comes with an action button that uses a press-and-hold gesture. It supports various actions, such as accessing the camera or flashlight, activating voice memos, focus mode, translation or switching accessibility functions such as magnifying glass. Action buttons are customizable, so you can use the Shortcuts app to set them up to work however you want.

In addition to the 48-megapixel main camera and 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens also available in the base model, the iPhone 15 Pro has a third camera, which is a 12-megapixel Pixel's telephoto lens with ƒ/2.8 aperture. It supports up to 5x optical zoom. The Pro model retains the lidar scanner. The iPhone 15 Pro camera also supports spatial video recording, and you can watch them on the Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset. The camera also supports ProRAW, HEIF images.

The iPhone 15 Pro runs iOS 17 and is powered by the Apple A17 Pro Bionic chip, the company's first 3nm chipset. It has a 6-core CPU with 2 performance and 4 efficiency cores, a 6-core GPU, and a 16-core neural engine. The A17 Pro Bionic has 1.9 billion transistors, compared to the Mac M1 Apple Silicon, which has 1.6 billion transistors. Apple says the CPU is 10% faster than before, and the professional-grade GPU is 20% faster. This chipset features a dedicated AV1 decoder for improved video playback/streaming experience.

iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max support hardware-based ray tracing in games. Apple has confirmed that console games like Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Death Stranding, and Ubisoft’s upcoming game Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be available on the iPhone 15 Pro.

Apple has equipped the iPhone 15 Pro with a USB-C port that supports USB 10 transfer speeds up to 3Gb/s. It is about 2 times faster than USB 20. That said, Apple only includes a USB-C cable with USB 2 in the box, so you'll need to buy a USB 3 cable separately if you want to take advantage of its actual speeds. The battery of the iPhone 15 Pro is rated to provide up to 23 hours of video playback, while the Pro Max has a battery life of up to 29 hours. The phones support Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and NavIC satellite positioning services. The Pro version also features a second-generation ultra-wideband chip for precise Find My Friends searches, helping you find your friends even in a crowd. The Pro model also supports roadside assistance via satellite, and while this feature is free for the first 2 years, you'll need a AAA membership.
