There are notable innovations in the iPhone 15 Pro. The casing design has undergone slight revisions, ensuring a better grip. Apple has introduced titanium as a new material for the frame, although it's worth noting that this is a relatively thin layer, with the majority of the frame still being made from recycled aluminum.
The new material has made the new iPhone 15 Pro significantly lighter and also slightly smaller in width and length, although the screen still measures 6.1 inches diagonally.
In terms of the screen, you can still expect a very bright OLED screen with excellent color reproduction. On tiny surfaces with HDR displays, we measured up to 1,900 cd/m2.
Compared to its predecessor, there haven't been as many changes made to the cameras. However, there's now a LiDAR sensor at the back, enhancing portrait photography in low-light conditions. Furthermore, it will soon be able to record spatial videos, which can be experienced later using VR glasses. The image quality of the camera remains excellent, and its optical zoom capabilities are also impressive.
Apple's gaming initiative is a significant move for the company, and the iPhone 15 Pro plays a central role in this strategy. Equipped with a new 6-core GPU supporting ray tracing, it provides enough power to run AAA titles typically found on PCs or consoles. Games like Resident Evil Village and Assassin's Creed: Mirage have already been announced and will be available as native versions on the fastest iPhones and iPads currently on the market.

I initially wrote about gaming laptops when I joined Notebookcheck in 2009. I was then involved with the setup of the comparison portal Notebookinfo and worked with social media concepts for large companies like BMW and Adidas, while also returning to work for Notebookcheck in 2012. Nowadays, I focus on smartphones, tablets, and future technologies. Since 2018 I have been Managing Editor for mobile device reviews, working alongside my colleague Daniel Schmidt.
Having spent the greater part of my early years in Germany facilitated my upbringing as a bilingual kid.
In 2007, I found myself having to reinstall my Windows weekly ... So, one day I bought a MacBook Black.
It was during this period that I developed a profound appreciation for technology, which significantly improved my life.
