Apple’s annual smartphone refreshes have felt especially incremental since the iPhone X, and at first blush that appears to have happened again with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Their attractive titanium edges and useful, customizable Action Button are fairly subtle to the eye, and the first things to get covered up by a case. That is, however, deceptive; Apple has changed quite a bit internally to make this year’s phone its most compelling upgrade since the iPhone 11, especially if you’re passionate about photography or video. While the universal compatibility and transfer speeds of USB-C are the headline addition, the upgraded gaming-ready processor, better camera software, and titanium chassis are all notable improvements.
