Apple's new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models are heading out to customers all over the world, including us here at MacRumors. Our videographer Dan Barbera just got his new iPhones in, and over on YouTube, he's unboxed the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.


The blue and gray titanium models look fantastic with the new brushed finish, and to go along with them, Dan got the black iPhone 15. That model also has a sleek new look thanks to the frosted glass back.

The more contoured corners of the new devices make them more comfortable to hold, and the weight reduction for the 15 Pro models is definitely noticeable. As for the display, the iPhone 15 display is brighter than before in the sun, and for the 15 Pro and Pro Max, that slimmed down bezel looks great.

Make sure to watch Dan's video to get a first look at all of the new iPhones, and stay tuned because we'll have device comparisons, deep dives into the camera, and more content coming over the next week.

Great video! The phones look great, I'd love to eventually get a Pro but I would have to test out the size first. Although the cameras are tempting!

I'm glad too that they went with a brushed finish on the regular 15 line, wasn't a fan of the glossy glass look, however I preferred the brushed sides of the regular 12/13/14 models so I guess it was a trade-off!
 
I haven’t seen anyone unbox the titanium white, so mine might be the first I see!
The white titanium one which I got is the most stunning and beautiful one above all pro colors. The white one is the brightest on the Pro line also. The titanium brush on white does complement the white color. You will enjoy it.
All unboxing videos are mostly for blue and grey/natural - new colors. Grey is okay but bland - just like cloudiness or stone color - which is nothing special for me. I am not into blue color.
 
Love the white though for the first time in years I had to manually transfer cell service. The automated process didn't work. Now for the long hours of transfers...
 
first time in a few years where the easy transfer process just isn't working. iPhone 14 pro max to 15 pro max both.. first time new phone hung, reboot, second attempt the "scan the image" thing doesn't work, manual authenticate.. froze up again.... smh.

now I'm upgrading both to 17.0.1 to see if that fixes the problem.

third try fail.. scan image still not working, manual authenticate method. (and rebooted both phones in-between to be sure).
then... finally starts to go, but wait.. Can't transfer eSim. try 4 times.. no dice.
 
The weight difference on the 15P is quite noticeable and feels great holding it sans case. I can see fingerprint marks on the sides already, but it is pretty subtle at least in the blue finish. Waiting out the transfer process now so I can actually start using it!

I checked the Apple Store app. Seems like the 15 Pro is readily available in multiple different configurations at my local Apple Store.

Edit: Just the 15 Pro. Doesn’t seem like anything is available for the Pro Max.

How come the non-Pro iPhone 15 colors in other YT videos all look white? The color is so faint I only notice it on the rails, but in ads the back color is more noticeable.
