There’s something special about iPhone events. This is the most exciting phone announcement of the end of summer, and perhaps the biggest phone event of the year.
But over the past few years, upgrading your iPhone has become a bit of a tedious task. That has changed this year. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is Apple’s most competitive flagship in years. please do not worry. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the most competitive flagship Apple has ever produced.
Zoom finally caught up with the Android flagship
The iPhone 15 Pro Max’s unique tetraprism periscope finally puts the Cupertino flagship on par with its Android competitors. The unique lens design features a prism that reflects light four times at a 90 degree angle before reaching the sensor. The more light travels, the bigger the zoom, and Apple has found a way to cram his 120mm (5x from the main camera) zoom into the smallest space ever.
Apple’s telephoto camera also has a maximum aperture of 120mm and f/2.8. For reference, the 120mm telephoto camera on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra has an f/3.0 lens, but this one has a much larger sensor.
Equipped with the world’s first 3nm chip
Apple has always pushed the boundaries of smartphone chips. His A17 Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro model, is the world’s first 3nm chip of his that you can buy. A state-of-the-art product with Apple’s signature Big-Little style configuration. The CPU has two performance cores and four efficiency cores, while the GPU has a six-core unit with ray tracing.
Finally, a standard port is available
iPhone’s move to USB-C has been rumored for years, and it still feels surreal to finally see it happen. For the first time, iPhone can use industry-standard USB cables, which everyone has at least some of.
New and interesting design with thinner bezels
For years, we’ve been using iPhones with shiny fingerprint magnets that have uncomfortably sharp edges. Finally, the iPhone 15 Pro Max features more rounded edges, a brushed titanium finish, and the slimmest bezels ever.
The use of a titanium and aluminum alloy body keeps the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s weight down to a fairly manageable 221g. This is lighter than Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra.
It’s an iPhone after all
So the 15 Pro Max is definitely the smoothest phone out there. It also has amazing battery life, a robust iOS software experience, premium all-round imaging, and the best video capture ever on a phone.
And the accessory ecosystem is better than any other smartphone.
