If you only look at the surface of the iPhone 15 Pro, the improvements are obvious, yet subtle.
There’s the shift away from the Lightning connector found in every iPhone since the iPhone 5 to the new universal USB-C standard.
There’s the removal of the silence switch we’ve had since the first iPhone, in place of the versatile new Action button.
Plus, the phone is made with titanium. You could probably send it to space and have it work.
All these small, subtle shifts work towards a much more purposeful device.
The iPhone 15 Pro is arguably the best smartphone Apple has ever designed. It combines these discreet hardware changes, the annual processor and camera improvements, and some great new iOS 17 features to create an overwhelmingly positive experience.
