Apple Event Announcements: A Closer Look at the New iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max Models

As I watched the Apple event, it was clear that there were two main things that stood out to me as being particularly exciting. In my opinion, these are the two announcements that will have a significant impact on users.

While there were several other new features announced, such as USB-C, new cameras, and a new titanium body, I wanted to dive deeper into the two items that I believe will be the most notable for users. Starting with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models, these two phones are packed with new features that are sure to impress.

One of the first things I noticed about these two phones is how much lighter they are compared to previous Pro models. This is a significant improvement, as it means that users will be able to enjoy a phone that feels more comfortable in their hand without sacrificing performance. Additionally, the design of these phones has been tweaked to make them feel less blocky and more ergonomic. I have to say, this little egg here (points to an area on the phone) is just a little more fun to grip, as it's not quite as chunky as previous models.

Another notable difference between the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models is the presence of volume buttons above the power button. However, in a surprise move, Apple has opted to remove the silent switch or mute switch that was present on previous phones. Instead, the phone now features a physical button called the action button. This button defaults to silencing your phone, but you can adjust its function in settings by accessing options such as silent mode, flashlight, fire accessibility shortcuts, and no action. I think this feature is particularly useful for those who plan to use their iPhone as a camera rig, as it allows for easy access to different modes.

Now that we've talked about some of the design changes on these new phones, let's move on to one of my favorite features: the cameras. With multiple lenses and improved sensors, Apple has really outdone itself with this latest generation of iPhones. The iPhone 15 Pro, for example, boasts a larger 48-megapixel sensor that will greatly improve low-light photography capabilities.

The real showstopper here, however, is the camera on the iPhone 15 Pro Max model. This phone features five times optical zoom, which means you'll be able to get incredibly close to distant subjects without sacrificing quality. To achieve this, Apple has essentially incorporated a mini-periscope into the back of the phone, allowing for much closer and more detailed shots than ever before. But what really gets me excited is that this camera can continue to provide 25 times digital zoom – talk about a wild experience!

I spent some time chatting with some lovely people in the background while I was taking photos (points to others around him). They're all smiling, happy, and enjoying themselves. And it's not just them; we were all having a great time together. With these new cameras and lenses on the iPhone 15 Pro Max model, you'll be able to capture life's moments like never before.

In addition to the improved camera capabilities, both the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models also feature USB-C ports. While this wasn't exactly a surprise given the trend towards wireless charging, I'm thrilled that Apple has finally adopted USB-C as its standard port. The presentation mentioned that these phones support USB 3Dan transfer, which means that you'll be able to transfer prores videos and Pro Raw photos much faster than ever before.

One of the other notable features on both the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models is the A17 Pro chip. This powerful processor will greatly improve gaming performance and make video games look more dramatic with its ray tracing capabilities. Just take a closer look at this bloody puddle (points to an area on his hand) – you can see some reflections that I've never seen before, even in high-quality images.

Overall, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models are packed with exciting new features that will set them apart from their predecessors. With improved cameras, faster charging, and a powerful processor, these phones are sure to be a hit among tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.

or the mute switch and instead we have a physical button called the action button if that sounds familiar if debuted on the Apple watch Ultra but unlike the Apple watch Ultra it defaults to silencing your phone and I'm going to go into settings here and I can change what this button can do there's a silent mode flashlight fire accessibility shortcuts and no action which could be very helpful especially if you're using this as like a camera rig let's try something out here I want to try the camera now if I push and hold on it it'll open up the camera if I tap again it'll actually be a shutter button and we have some lovely people in the background getting their photo taken the amazing Apple retail people are absolutely the best people here always while we're in the cameras talk about a few things on both the regular and this there is a new larger 48 megapixel sensor which helps improve low light Photography in that but the big news is going to be on the big guy the pro Max is we now have a five times optical zoom uh essentially they took a lens that would normally stick out the back of a phone and they put it in to the phone sideways kind of like a mini Periscope and this allows me to have a much closer optical zoom experience and that could still can kind of continue that on to a 25 times digital Zoom how Wild is that I'm on an iPhone I'm zooming in 25 times I hope this person does not mind me doing that I'm going to just be less creepy and go up here and do this person there we go of the cameras there's three physical camera they said there's seven different links here we have Ultra wide three different versions of the main camera with different Zoom levels and then of course we get to that telephoto camera look at that 120 millimeter equivalent it's like having a giant telephoto like wedding lens on your iPhone but it fits your pocket all right the other big feature that's not only on the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max is a USBC Port we've saw a lot

other big features in the Pro Models is going to be they have an a17 Pro chip uh this has Ray tracing and all that means is it's gonna make video games look more dramatic but look at the you can see look closely at the blood puddle that I'm in you can see some Reflections I've never played this game until just now obviously this is just a quick Hands-On with both of these new phones but if you
