iPhone 15 Pro Max
Though it’s not as clear-cut as previous years, with the standard iPhone 15 receiving several features that were previously Pro-exclusive, our choice for the best iPhone this year is the iPhone 15 Pro max , which has important features that improve the iPhone experience. More on that a little later. With an improved
titanium chassis and a brushed metal finish that not only allows for a significant weight reduction but also slightly lessens the shine of the previously shiny chassis, the iPhone 15 Pro is an improvement over the model from the previous year. This year’s model’s slightly rounded corners, which make the phone fit in the hand a little more comfortably, add to that. Additionally, a new USB-C port has been added in place of the Lightning port found on earlier models.
The Action Button, which replaces the silent switch that has been a part of every iPhone since its launch, is the major new feature for this year’s Pro model. Even though you can program the Action button to alternate between loud and silent modes, you can also use it to perform other actions like turning on the
torch, opening the camera, or launching a shortcut to your preferred app or smart home automation system. It’s a very flexible piece of technology that can alter how you use your iPhone.

USB-C replaces Lightning as the standard
The transition of the iPhone in 2023 from the Lightning port to USB-C for accessories and charging is the
second major new feature. Your collection of Lightning accessories will determine how much of a
difference that makes. For the majority, it will just be a straightforward cable switch—one is already
included in the box—for charging. You can use any USB-C cable, including those used by PCs, Macs,
iPads, and other tablets, along with your current power adapter to avoid purchasing expensive Apple
cables. If you’re desperate, you can use your iPhone to charge other devices—like AirPods, an Apple
Watch, or other phones—up to 4.5W.
A17 Pro chip in iPhone 15 pro max
Using a Backbone One controller, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max streamed Star-field from an Xbox Series X. The A17 Pro chip, which powers 20% more powerful and 10% faster graphics and supports advanced ray tracing graphics, is new to the iPhone and is included in the 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. This should
lead to more realistic, console-caliber games. Apple released the iOS 17.0.3 update in response to user complaints that the phone was getting extremely hot to the touch. But even before the patch, in my testing—including when pushed by benchmarks and games—the Max did not become any warmer than earlier models or competitors.
Durability
According to Apple, the battery can be replaced for £95 and should last more than 500 full charge cycles with at least 80% of its initial capacity. The cost of fixing an out-of-warranty screen was £389. The iPhone 15 Pro Max features the same internal repair-friendly design as the iPhone 14, but due to Apple’s use of
software to prevent third-party repair, the phone only received a four out of ten repairability rating from iFixit experts. Recycled aluminium , cobalt, copper, gold, plastic, rare earth elements, tin, and tungsten are all present in the phone. The environmental impact of the phone is broken down by the company in its
report. Apple provides free recycling programs and trade-in options, even for non-Apple products.
Camera
Similar to competitors from Samsung and Google, the telephoto camera on the right uses a prism to fold light into the phone’s body to create a 5x optical zoom.

With a few significant exceptions, it has the same basic configuration as the 14 Pro from the previous year, which includes a
12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 48-megapixel primary camera, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera. With a 5x optical zoom, the telephoto camera on the Pro Max is much closer to objects than the 3x on the standard 15 Pro and earlier models. This is the first time the iPhone has been given any real magnification. Then, with good results up to about 10-15x, the camera can stretch its digital zoom up to 25x. To the delight of serious photographers, the primary camera can now take pictures at three different focal lengths (24, 28, or 35mm) and record 24-megapixel images by default, up from 12MP. It also retains last year’s helpful 2x optical zoom.
Conclusion :
A newly designed Ultra Wide camera allows for increased light intake. The iPhone 15 Pro Max features an improved 5x Telephoto lens that employs a new tetra-prism design, while the iPhone 15 Pro still has the same 3x Telephoto lens. For crisper images, Apple unveiled a new optical image stabilisation system with an autofocus 3D sensor-shift module. Based on an upgraded node, the A17 Pro chip is Apple’s first 3-nanometer chip. According to Apple, it has the largest GPU redesign in the company’s history and outperforms the A16 by up to 20%. There is up to 10% faster CPU performance. Up to twice as quick is the new Neural Engine.
A second-generation Ultra Wide-band chip was added by Apple, enabling a three-fold longer connection between two iPhones equipped with the chip. The enhanced connectivity enables a new feature called Precision Finding for Find My Friends, which enables you to find your friends in crowded places. When paired with a Wi-Fi 6E router, Wi-Fi 6E support allows for up to two times faster Wi-Fi speeds and access to 6GHz bands. Additionally, thread support has been added in preparation for upcoming Home app integrations. Emergency Roadside Assistance is now part of Emergency SOS via satellite, which means that if you have a car problem in a place without cellular or Wi-Fi signal, you can use satellite services to contact AAA, Apple’s partner for the project in the United States.
