What’s more, users can customize this button to trigger various functions, from initiating voice memos to launching the camera or activating preferred accessibility features.
Under the hood lies Apple’s groundbreaking A17 Pro chip, crafted through an unparalleled 3-nanometer process. This powerhouse boasts a six-core CPU, ensuring a 10% surge in CPU performance and a staggering 20% boost in GPU performance.
The 16-core neural engine operates at double the speed, revolutionizing machine learning capabilities for tasks like precision autocorrect and object extraction from images, with an astounding processing capacity of up to 35 trillion operations per second.
The A17 Pro is also home to a brand-new GPU, boasting an Apple-engineered shader architecture, marking a monumental leap forward in Apple GPU history. Focused on delivering top-tier performance and efficiency, this GPU shines in executing complex applications and introduces innovative rendering features.
With hardware-accelerated ray tracing and cutting-edge Mesh shading capabilities, console-quality gaming experiences like Resident Evil 4 are now within grasp on the iPhone.
The camera system receives a substantial upgrade on the iPhone 15 Pro, with the primary camera housing an enlarged sensor and a specialized coating to reduce lens flare. This translates to superior low-light performance for both Portrait and Night mode, offering a versatile range of focal lengths and a remarkable 24MP super-high-resolution default mode.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s telephoto camera boasts a 5x optical zoom at a 180mm focal length, complemented by a 25% larger sensor, optical image stabilization, and an advanced autofocus 3D sensor-shift module, representing Apple’s most advanced stabilization system to date. The Ultrawide camera is enhanced with an anti-reflective coating, delivering improved Night mode and Smart HDR.
Charging and data transfer are revolutionized with the introduction of a USB-C port on the iPhone 15 Pro models.
