Apple's new 2023 iPhone 15 lineup is out, with the usual standard iPhone 15 joined by a more powerful iPhone 15 Pro. Which one is right for your money?
This story is part of our complete Apple event coverage Apple took the wraps off this year’s iPhone 15 lineup at its September 2023 event, boasting some nice design refinements and significant camera improvements across the board, plus a powerful new A17 Pro chip for its highest-end models.
The flagship iPhone 15 Pro gets the most significant change, with Apple shifting from stainless steel to titanium for the outer frame. The result is a more matte, brushed metallic look, and Apple is embracing this with a set of titanium-themed colors for this year’s Pro models: Natural Titanium is joined by Blue Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium.
As usual, Apple’s 2023 iPhone models offer IP68 water resistance and Apple’s Ceramic Shield glass on the front. The titanium frame of the iPhone 15 Pro theoretically adds a bit of extra durability over the aluminum iPhone 15, but that’s likely negligible, considering that the back is still glass and the internal frame is made of aluminum. Apple also only uses Ceramic Shield on the front glass; it doesn’t say what the back is made of on either the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro.
While those are nice enhancements for the iPhone 15 over its predecessor, it still doesn’t do much to close the gap with the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 15 still uses a fixed-refresh 60Hz screen and lacks an always-on display. It’s basically a brighter version of last year’s screen with a Dynamic Island instead of a notch.
Still, it won’t hold a candle to what Apple has packed into the iPhone 15 Pro. This year’s next-generation A17 chip is such an advancement that Apple has dropped the “Bionic” moniker that it’s used since 2018’s A11, dubbing this new chip the “A17 Pro.” Charging speeds also remain the same, likely in the 20-27W range, but at least you can now do so using a pure USB-C cable. Wireless charging is also still limited to 7.5 watts using a standard Qi charger, with 15W available via an Apple-certified MagSafe charger. However, this year’s new Qi2 chargers that support the Magnetic Power Profile can also deliver 15W speeds to an iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro.
The new 2x mode also unlocks a whole set of other things that weren’t possible on the standard iPhone models before now, including Portrait mode photography, continuous zoom in 4K Cinematic mode, and the post-capture Focus and Depth mode controls that have long been exclusive to the iPhone Pro. We don’t expect to see anything significant in iOS 17 exclusive to the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro except for those that are hardware-dependent, such as the new Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro. The iOS 17 release will also bring some of the newly announced iPhone 15 features, such as Roadside AIt’s also safe to say that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro will be updated in tandem for at least the next four to five years.
