iPhone 15 Pro: Price, release date, specs, camera, and everything you need to know (2024)

Apple has just unveiled its stunning new iPhone 15 Pro, starring a titanium case, USB-C, an Action Button, the A17 Pro chip, and more.

The Pro is Apple's best iPhone every year, and this year is no different. With a new titanium chassis that Apple says makes the iPhone 15 Pro the lightest Pro iPhone ever, there's a genuine reason to upgrade to the 15 Pro for ergonomics alone.

Not only did Apple reveal a brand new device with an improved form factor, but this new iPhone spells the end of an era for the Lightning port with Apple moving all new iPhones to USB-C.

There's plenty to talk about when it comes to the iPhone 15 Pro. Here's everything you need to know.

iPhone 15 Pro: Processor

At the heart of the device is the A17 Pro, an insane new chip from Apple. Built on a cutting edge 3nm architecture, it has the biggest GPU redesign in Apple's history. The CPU is 10% faster, and its Neural Engine is twice as fast as that in its predecessor. That GPU is 20% faster and has six cores, so Apple's iPhone 15 Pro can power hardware-accelerated ray tracing to play titles like Resident Evil Village, RE 4, Death Stranding, and Assassin's Creed Mirage.

iPhone 15 Pro: Design and USB-C

The new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max feature a space-grade titanium chassis, making both models the lightest Pro iPhones for each respective size. The iPhone 15 Pro has contoured edges and a brushed texture, as well as the thinnest bezels of any iPhone ever. The substructure is aluminum for added strength and heat dissipation.

As expected, the iPhone 15 Pro also includes USB-C, which powers charging with basically any cable and faster transfer of all of the videos and photos you'll be taking on its new camera. These faster transfer speeds will help when it comes to transferring beautiful photos from your 15 Pro to your Mac.

Both devices feature a Super Retina XDR display in either 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch configurations. They also offer the same Always-on Display, ProMotion with adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz, HDR, 1,000 nits max brightness, 1,600 nits peak brightness, and 2,000 nits peak outdoor brightness.

However, there's a new 24MP super-high-resolution default for taking images, and it now supports 48MP HEIF as well as ProRAW. Portrait and Night mode have both been updated, and a new Smart HDR will help render better skin tones and improve shadows in photos.
