What are the new features for the iPhone 15 Pro?
The iPhone 16 is up for pre-order in only a few days, nonetheless, the iPhone 15 Pro possesses key upgrades over its predecessor. While the iPhone 15 is still one of the best phones on the market, the 15 Pro is certainly a better phone. Starting with its appearance, the iPhone 15 Pro sports new materials, namely a slick titanium frame that makes the phone lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro's stainless steel rails. The sharp edges are also gone, with the 15 Pro offering softer sides.
This iPhone 15 no longer charges via Apple’s proprietary Lightning cable thanks to its much more universal USB-C port, much to many people's joy. This is the cable that's used by Samsung Galaxys, Google Pixels and plenty of other devices.
Also new to Apple’s Pro models is an Action button, similar to that which you'd find on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It replaces the traditional ring/silent switch that featured on iPhones for years previously, and you can customise it to trigger up to nine different actions with a series of short and long presses. This gives you a much quicker way of accessing the camera or your favourite apps without having to swipe through your phone.
The iPhone 15 Pro is a wildly powerful device, and while the A18 Pro chip of the iPhone 16 Pro models is certainly more powerful, the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to support Apple's all-new AI features – powered by Apple Intelligence. You can see all our thoughts on the iPhone 15 Pro, its specs and how it handled in-person in our iPhone 15 Pro review..
The iPhone 15 Pro comes in four fairly subdued, mature-looking colours, including black, white, navy and a warm grey shade, and it launched at AU$1,849 for the 128GB model.
