A torrent of reports, leaks, and rumors surrounding the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max started last year, with the two flagships finally materializing today. Apple has lifted the veil of its latest premium offerings, and compared to the previous launches, these two tout some of the biggest changes, both internally and externally, so let us get into the details.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max ditch stainless to switch to titanium, but aluminum also makes a return to the chassis
The consistent reports talking about Apple ditching stainless steel and switching to titanium alloy ended up being true for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, as now, the company claims that both models are the lightest ever, with the Grade 5 titanium being the same alloy used on the Mars rover.
However, in case our readers did not know, titanium is susceptible to scratches because it is a soft material, so Apple has mitigated this weakness with PVD coating, along with aluminum being thermally bonded to it. Additionally, Apple claims that the latest models are more repairable, with the glass said to be easier to replace, though we will leave it to the teardown experts to do their usual thing and give an impartial verdict.
New Action button replaces the mute switch, here is what it can do
Another change the rumors got right was Apple getting rid of the mute switch and adding an Action button. Given that both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max feature the same 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch OLED screen but with slimmer bezels, this button brings an extra layer of functionality. But default, the Action button is a ring or silent switch, but it can be customized by the user. It includes haptic feedback, so you can assign app-specific features or shortcuts. In addition, using it a camera launcher and shutter button is also supported.
