10% CPU over A16... no mention of 8GB... what a disappoinment. Just 19 mil. transistors... I expected over 20.. GPU looks good on paper.
Got a tip for us?

It will be bionic*... "better than it was before.... better, stronger, faster."
*and possibly cost about $6 million dollars
But why on earth would you upgrade from the 14 - that's barmy. What is it about that phone that you are suddenly expecting to be inadequate?Let TALK about price.... then tell me it's worth upgrading from 14proMAX (oh its lighter)
Apple never mentions RAM on the iPhone chips.
Next year apple released A18 Ultra and give the 17 Pro to the iPhone 16!!!
Absolutely zero innovation this year on all of the products presented. Why do they even make these cinematic presentations, they should spend that money on R&D instead and come up with something truly innovative and worth of the high prices they ask.
Ngl, Assassin's Creed Mirage natively on a phone is quite sickkk
This is my point.. APPLE need to up the game... boring upgrades again this year!
happy they ditched the polished metal frame on the pro models.
The announced Hardware Ray Tracing is huge. It means high end M3 devices will have Hardware Ray Tracing.
Apple today announced the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, its latest flagship smartphones. The devices sport an array of new features, including a titanium frame, the A17 Pro chip, and more.
The new titanium chassis has a brushed finish and makes the iPhone lighter than any previous Pro model, while enhancing durability. The frame has a contoured edge for a more comfortable feel in the hand. The bezels around the display are also substantially slimmer.
The iPhone 15 Pro features an Action button in place of the mute switch. With a press and hold, users can toggle between ring and silent, with haptic feedback to indicate a change of state. Users can switch between different actions, allowing them to start recording in voice memos, launch the camera, activate a favorite accessibility, feature, or run a Shortcut.
The new devices feature Apple's A17 Pro chip, made with a first-of-its-kind 3-nanometer process. The A17 Pro has a six-core CPU, for twice the performance and and four times the efficiency of the A16 Bionic. It has a two-times faster 16-core neural engine to accelerate machine learning such as more accurate autocorrect or pulling a subject from an image. It can process up to 35 trillion operations per second.
The A17 Pro contains a brand new GPU with an Apple-designed shader architecture. Apple says it is the biggest redesign in the history of Apple GPUs, with a focus on performance and efficiency, running complex applications, and new rendering features. It offers hardware-accelerated ray tracing and new Mesh shading capabilities. Console games like Resident Evil 4 can now be played on the iPhone.
The iPhone 15 Pro features an improved camera system. The main camera has a larger sensor, a new coating to reduce lens flare, better low light performance for Portraits and Night mode, a range of focal lengths, and more. The iPhone 15 Pro Max's telephoto camera offers 5x optical zoom at 180mm focal length with a 25% larger sensor. The Ultrawide camera has a new anti-reflective coating, as well as improved Night mode and Smart HDR.
Using a USB 3 cable enables incredibly fast transfer speeds, users can instantly transfer 48MP ProRaw photos to a Mac or record ProRes video directly to an external storage drive. Higher quality recording options are available for external drives, with support for 4K60 for the first time, plus Log encoding.
The iPhone 15 Pro, like the standard iPhone 15 models, has a next-generation Portrait mode that automatically detects when there's a subject in the frame, allowing you to switch to Portrait mode after an image has been taken. There is also new focus and depth control tools, allowing you to switch focus from one person to another after the photo has been taken. Night mode is also improved, while and Smart HDR allows the device to capture the sky and subject simultaneously.
The iPhone 15 Pro has Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, allowing other devices with the chip to connect from up to 3x as far away and friends that share their location with you to be located directionally like an AirTag.
Audio quality for calls has been updated with a more advanced machine learning model that prioritizes your voice. Building on Emergency SOS via Satellite, it is now possible to connect to a satellite for roadside assistance.
The iPhone 15 Pro models feature a USB-C port for charging and data transfer. The A17 Pro supports up to 10Gbps transfer speeds with a USB 3 cable.
The iPhone 15 Pro is available in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Blue Titanium, Natural Titanium. The iPhone 15 Pro starts at $999 for 128GB of storage, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at $1,199 for 256GB of storage.

It doesn’t fold they’ll say. Apple have made another boring update they’ll say.
Except Apple are the one company that sweats the little things that actually matter. This is why I buy their products.
Oh, and the software parity gap has now gotten embarrassingly larger for Android because the iPhone 15 Pro is capable of playing PlayStation 5-level games. That is a bigger deal than any of todays commentary will make out.

Prices are out of control on these phones, definitely not for me! Wow.
A17 looks pretty cool. Scaling up for a M3, it will be very powerful, AV1 Media engine, Native Ray tracing and much fast cpu/GPU... Some sort of integration between neural engine and GPU... it will be sick.
Non-Pro users have no need for an action button... nor watch double tap...
Did they mention battery life?
If you have a 12 or 13 Pro its worth the upgrade, not enough of a difference if you have a 14 pro. Same old again.
Count me as a buyer. $1000 trade in is the key.
I think the plus will be a big seller this year... (now $300 cheaper) lighter, good battery, great phone..
