Apple Announces iPhone 15 Pro With Titanium Design, USB-C Port, Action Button, A17 Pro Chip, and More

10Gbps so it seems they are using USB 3.2 Gen 2 over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, shame.

I didn’t even expect USB gen 3 at all so I’ll happily take it. I’ll finally not hate offloading my phone every week.

I used to be an apple yearly upgrader so far I see nothing worth upgrading an 14ProMax, Series 8 watch or an M1 Macbook pro...

I'm surprised the Action Button is a Pro-exclusive feature.

I'm surprised the Action Button is a Pro-exclusive feature.

Well they have got to get you to buy the pro model some how… lol

Yeah likewise, it's not in any of my use cases to take advantage over that difference but I know people who would definitely benefit. Minor savings but on their scale, not minor at all.

 

[terryvision]

I can't watch anymore ... B O R I N G!

Do you think next year’s iPhone 16 will be equipped with an A17 Bionic? How will it be different from the A17 Pro?

 

[LoveToMacRumors]

I’m going to place my order for the iPhone 15 Pro Max in blue as soon as Apple launches the pre-orders next week

I’m going to some National Parks out west next summer and I’m really looking forward to taking pictures with the new periscope lens

I’m also looking forward to the 3 nm chips in the new iPhone. From what I’ve read about them, the energy efficiency is going to equate to a substantial increase in battery life - roughly 35% more, which is huge

I’ll be posting some of the pictures that I take with it on MacRumors and I really look forward to getting it soon (hopefully) in the first batch of shipments🤞

I didn't follow the live event, but the macrumors acticle didn't mention the periscope lens on the pro max??

iPhone 15 line up looks excellent! I love it.

They haven’t mentioned it on the keynote… until now.

5x optical zoom. 120mm lenses. On an innovative tetra-prism design lens

Let TALK about price.... then tell me it's worth upgrading from 14proMAX (oh its lighter)

Do you think next year’s iPhone 16 will be equipped with an A17 Bionic? How will it be different from the A17 Pro?

At least an A17. I'd be shocked if Apple reused the A16 in the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus that's in the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max.

Other possibility is there will be an A18 and A18 Pro chip like how Macs have regular M and M Pro/Max/Ultra chips to differentiate regular from Pro devices.

What does the action button do differently vs the switch on the older phones?

 

[darthbane2k]

If you have anything older than an iPhone 14 series phone , this is a solid upgrade. But as a 14 Pro Max owner thers absolutely nothing compelling me to upgrade other than perhaps the 14 Pro’s battery issues.

 

[jfim88]

Regular 15 doesn’t have Pro Motion? Thinking about upgrading from 13PM.

I like that last idea! Well thought! You’re hired!

That would also make sense if next year Apple is using a new and different node from TSMC, and some say this architecture isn’t compatible between the N3B node and the N3E node…

Sorry if this was answered. I missed the event. What is the pricing on the new iphones?

 

[tsukeyomi]

I can't watch anymore ... B O R I N G!

Same. I was wondering if it was just me or if it is indeed incredibly boring this year. They try to pass every little, useless thing as over the top and it is just off-putting.

 

[kp98077]

so its the same price in the US (considering storage)..

 

[Duncan-UK]

Who give a damn a chip that 99.9% of people won't use to full potential .. My ZX spectrum has more kudos!

A CBM 64 would have even more...

 

[neuropsychguy]

Sorry if this was answered. I missed the event. What is the pricing on the new iphones?

Same prices as last year. Pro Max is up but base model is 256 GB and has the same price as the 256 GB from last year.

 

[terryvision]

Now back to Tim ... nice but dim!

 

[smirking]

Super boring. And USB-C just made it even worse.

More polyester for the rest of us.

 

[Domen151]

I am whelmed.

 

[Spooner83]

Wait, will the iPhone15 pro models have 4K action mode? I missed it if they said it. It’s the one feature I’ve been waiting for, since we currently can only do 2K action mode. Thanks!
