Iphone 15 Pro Max (2023)

FAQs

What's new on the iPhone 15 Pro Max? ›

The iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with a new contoured titanium frame, a USB Type-C port at the bottom, a camera with 5.0x optical zoom, a customizable Action Button, as well as the 3nm Apple A17 Pro chipset.

The Pro phones also get increased detail and cut down on the dreaded lens flare (sorry JJ Abrams). The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best for those live event photos I shoot from a distance, as it's the only iPhone with Apple's new 5x / 120 mm Telephoto camera (the smaller 15 Pro is limited to 3x optical zoom).

The new iPhone has a number of changes that will give it more options for wired and wireless charging in the years ahead. It now includes a USB-C port, for instance, instead of Apple's proprietary Lightning port, which makes it compatible with the same cables that power most other electronics.

The ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ offers a large number of upgrades over the standard ‌iPhone 15‌.

The iPhone 15 improvements are mostly under the hood. It's faster than last year's iPhone 14 and the cameras are an improvement. It's also simpler to switch to portrait mode. It gets the dynamic island from the iPhone 14 Pro that displays music playing, phone calls, and Uber information.
