The "natural titanium" finish is the most noticeable new iPhone color. This is also a close look at the new Action Button, which replaces the mute switch. Kif Leswing/CNBC This year's Pro iPhones have one visible and welcome change: They use titanium for the exterior frame, instead of stainless steel. One color, "natural titanium," shows off the new metal, but with most other colors, it isn't as immediately noticeable. But while the iPhone 15 Pro might look the same as last year's model from a distance, it's actually the biggest change to the iPhone's exterior in years. Titanium is a huge upgrade for daily use because it makes the phone lighter. It feels better in the hand. Apple's Pro phones have been getting heavier since 2019, but this phone reverses the trend. Apple says that the 6-inch iPhone 15 Pro is 187 grams, or 9% lighter than last year's model. The iPhone 15 Pro Max, with a bigger 6.7-inch screen, weighs 8% less.
Practice, it feels like an even bigger reduction. Going back to my old iPhone it feels like a brick. The weight difference between this year's Pros and last year's is Pakistan Phone Number noticeable even with a case. Not only are this year's Pro phones lighter, but they are also slightly narrower and shorter in length, although they're marginally thicker than last year's devices. They have a smaller border (bezel) around the same-sized screen, and it's noticeable when holding the two devices side-by-side. But this also means last year's cases won't work with this year's phones. The iPhone 14 Pro is in the back and the iPhone 15 Pro is in the front. This year's model has slighly smaller bezels. It's subtle but noticeable. Kif Leswing/CNBC The weight difference is subtle but will be meaningful to many people, making daily use more delightful — and marathon TikTok and YouTube sessions less tiring. I used the iPhone 15 Pro without a case, and it didn't feel particularly fragile. But phones drop and break, and the new frame comes with one additional benefit: Significantly cheaper repairs.
If the back glass on the iPhone 15 shatters, Apple is charging eitherfor a replacement, depending on screen size. On the iPhone 14 Pros, that price was either . Apple says it's because this model is much easier to repair. Zoom lens Apple has also improved the zoom camera on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. While the smaller phone still has a 3x zoom, the bigger phone now comes with a 5x zoom lens that mimics some of the best physical zoom lenses on standalone cameras that can be as long as 10 inches. Basically, the new iPhone allows you to get closer to your subject without physically getting closer. On the left, an iPhone 15 Pro Max photo taken at 5x zoom. On the right, an iPhone 15 Pro photo taken with . It also comes with a nifty new kind of three-dimensional image stabilization that prevents the zoom shots from getting blurry, which is a problem with current big zoom lenses. The handheld zoom shots on the iPhone 15 Pro Max were pretty sharp and clear. The new lens will be very useful for day-to-day usage, as it makes more of the world around you easier to photograph.
