The main novelty of the iPhone 15 is the official debut of USB-C connectivity. Apple says goodbye to lightning after years and years of resisting taking the step, and it was not until the order of the European Union that they finally decided to take the step. The particularity is that the Pro models will be compatible with USB 3 cables, which allows you to take full advantage of the transfer speed compared to the USB 2 compatibility of the base and Plus.
On the other hand, the Pro Max model is the only one that incorporates x5 optical zoom, which for distance photography is key for professionals and enthusiasts. The longest battery life goes to the Pro Max model with 29 hours of video playback, followed by the Plus (26 hours of video playback), Pro (23 hours of video playback), and the base model (20 hours of video playback).
We must not miss the opportunity to point out the chassis change that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max get. From aluminum they make the leap to titanium, a more resistant, durable, and lighter material. Just look at the weight differences. iPhone 14 The Pro Max weighs 240g, while its successor trims it down to 221g. The Pro follows the same line, from 206 g to 187 g of the new model.
