The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is the highest and the most expensive model in Apple’s iPhone 15 series. It is also the direct successor to the iPhone 14 Pro Max of 2022, and it comes with some notable upgrades.
First, the model is now powered by Apple’s latest A17 Pro CPU, which is a 3nm SoC with a hexa-core CPU setup. This CPU is integrated with a 6-core Apple GPU, and it is backed by 8GB RAM.
Also, the iPhone 15 series marks the beginning of Apple’s use of USB Type-C interface on its iPhones, instead of the company’s proprietary Lightning USB connector.
And as far as built quality is concerned, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is even tougher than its predecessor, since it comes with a stronger grade 5 titanium frame, up from the stainless still frame that housed the older 14 Pro Max.
But just like its predecessor, the new iPhone 15 Pro Max is given the same 6.7-inch Super Retina OLED display, pushing up to 2000 nits of peak brightness.
It also comes with the same camera setup on the 14 Pro, save for the introduction of a new periscope telephoto lens, capable of up to 5x optical zoom. However, the 48-megapixel main sensor, and the third 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor, including the 12-megapixel selfie sensor are retained,

SIM SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that contains mobile network subscriber's account information. This allows the phone using the card to attach to a mobile network. The SIM card is most commonly associated with GSM and UMTS mobile networks. Moving a SIM card from one phone to another allows a subscriber to switch mobile phones without having to contact their mobile network carrier. SIM cards can also be used by a phone to store limited amounts of data, such as phone numbers and text messages. |
