Physical Overview:

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is the iPhone’s most advanced phone. It has an aerospace-grade Titanium body with a brushed finish on countered edges and the back glass comes with Ceramic coating which Apple claims is the toughest back glass in any smartphone. Apple chooses 100% recycled Aluminum for the internal frame as per Apple’s 2030 climate goals. Due to the countered edges, Apple claims it makes it more comfortable to hold in your hand. Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is IP68 splash, water, and dust resistant. The advantages of having a Titanium body are strength increases and at the same time, the phone becomes lighter. It comes in different colors like Natural Titanium, Blue Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium. The major upgrades are the introduction of the Type C port and the Action button which we cover deeply later.

Display:

The screen size of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 6.7”. The display comes with an Advanced Super Retina XDR OLED display with ProMotion. The refresh rate is 120 Hz. Like the previous version of the iPhone, it has a dynamic island. It supports HDR 10 and Dolby Vision. The peak brightness is 2000 nits and Apple claims the typical brightness is 1000 nits. Coming to bezels, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has fewer bezels when compared to its previous versions. The screen-to-body ratio is almost 90%. Apart from these, there is also a minor upgrade in Always on Display where the full screen will be displayed now without affecting battery life.

Camera:

The main camera is 48MP with a default resolution of 24MP. The 120 mm of pure Pro zoom with 5x Telephoto (the longest optical zoom of any iPhone ever) can take sharper close-up images from very far away. The state-of-the-art tetraprism design with a folded glass structure below the lens, to reflect the light rays four times over, allows light to travel for a longer time giving the new focal length. Apart from this, the 3D sensor-shift optical image stabilization and autofocus in 3 directions make the most advanced stabilization ever. The camera software comes with smart HDR 5 and slight improvements in night modes.

Connectivity:

The major upgrade from previous versions of the iPhone is the introduction of USB type C with a USB 3.0 port. Thanks to EU laws it pushed all the mobile manufacturers in the region to use type C cables mandatorily. This has increased the data speeds almost 20 times, that is from 480MBPS to 10 Gbps from its previous version. Also, the same single type C cable can be used for all Apple devices. The USB type C port can also act as a display port with 4K HDR video output.

Processor:

The A17 Pro chip is the best chip ever which is an extremely new class iPhone chip. The graphic performance by far is the best. Apple claims the speed and efficiency have increased drastically with the new Pro class GPU that enables games not seen before on any smartphoneThe accelerated ray tracing which is 4 times better than the software ray tracing gives very high performance in a smartphone. The combined performance of GPU and neural engine by MetalFX upscaling will produce high-resolution graphics and at the same with less power. Now with 6 crores, the GPU will be faster by up to 20 times and the CPU will be faster by up to 10 times.

 


Other features:

Action Button

The replacement of a traditional Silent/Ring switch with a multi-tasking Action button is a nice move. The new action button can be used as a shortcut for multiple activities such as for keeping the phone silent, for autofocus while using the camera, capturing photos or videos, as a flashlight switch, recording voice memos, translating texts, as a magnifier, and other shortcuts.

Crash Detection

iPhone 15 Pro Max can detect a severe car crash. The hardware sensors and advanced motion algorithms identify the car crash and can call emergency services.
