The anticipation for the iPhone 15 series is palpable, as we approach closer to September.

This year’s collection is likely to present an intriguing divergence from the past, with the fundamental differences between the standard and pro versions becoming more nuanced, yet intriguingly distinct.

It would seem that for this year, based on leaks, the quality of the iPhone 15 will be such that many consumers might consider it over the Pro version.

That’s largely because the new base model will bear many similarities to the previous year’s Pro-grade models.

Be it the display or even the primary camera, Apple looks to be making sure more users gravitate towards its more budget offering, if indeed nearly $800 can be called a budget.

However, the iPhone 15 Pro versions aren’t without their own allure. For those willing to extend their budget, the Pro models promise a series of exclusive features.
Here are five aspects that are fueling the excitement around the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max:

Titanium Build

The titanium build of the iPhone has sparked a lot of interest. It’s a step up from the stainless steel case of the previous models, which, while robust and durable, had a significant weight that some users found cumbersome.

Titanium is known for its strength but most importantly, its lightness and it seems like a logical progression in the evolution of the iPhone’s design.
Using Titanium will likely reduce the weight of the phone without compromising its durability.

However, only the iPhone 15 Pro Max version is slated to get this build and sadly not the normal Pro moniker. Perhaps next year with the iPhone 16, the material will be ubiquitous across the entire lineup.

Bigger Battery

As per leaks, it appears that all the new models will have a noticeable increase in thickness compared to their predecessors.

This change would be especially prominent with both the iPhone 15 Pro devices. Speculation suggests that all iPhone 15 models will be equipped with larger batteries than their previous counterparts.

The Pro phones could get an even bigger battery jump, if leaks are anything to go by.  Given this, the slight increase in thickness is a trade-off that many would gladly accept.

While the larger batteries might add to the overall weight of the phone, the introduction of the lightweight titanium case is hoped to offset this, at least in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

3nm Transition

The transition to a 3nm process for the A17 Bionic chipset in the iPhone 15 Pro series represents a significant leap forward in Apple’s chip technology.

What this means for the iPhone 15 Pro is the potential for faster processing speeds and more efficient power usage, translating to a smoother, quicker user experience and possibly an increase in battery life.

The A17 Bionic will be Apple’s most advanced chip yet, potentially setting a new benchmark for smartphone performance.

The Pro Max, with its larger thermal envelope, could possibly be the fastest phone on the planet when it is released in September of this year.

Solid-State Mute Switch

The forthcoming iPhone 15 Pro series marks one of the first steps towards Apple’s goal of a completely button-less and port-less iPhone. Among the anticipated changes, the traditional mute switch is slated to be replaced by an Action button.

The customisable Action button, which would work on a capacitive touch response, opens up a new realm of personalised interactions, where the button could be set to perform different actions based on the user’s preferences.

There are also reports that Apple AI could possibly become self-aware and change the Action button’s functionality depending on what the user is accessing.

USB Type-C

While it is all but confirmed that all models of the upcoming iPhone 15 will be transitioning to USB Type-C, the 15 Pro models in particular are going to get fast Thunderbolt speeds.

This is very likely going to shoot up the data transfer rate on the iPhone 15 Pro devices and make it work in sync with MacBooks more efficiently.
