Discover the specifications of Apple's top of the line. See what's new in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is Apple's most powerful phone yet. Announced on September 12, the smartphone features a titanium design, a material that provides greater rigidity in the event of a fall while also being lighter. There are also small changes to the exterior of the device, which maintains the 6.7-inch screen and classically thin, rounded corners.
But internally, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is more powerful. It is equipped with the A17 Pro processor, Apple's newest processor. The phones cost between R$10,999 (256 GB) and R$13,999 (1 TB). In Brazil, pre-sales of the iPhone 15 will begin on Wednesday (27). However, here you can take a look at the unboxing of the iPhone 15 Pro Max and see if it is worth importing the cell phone from the United States, or waiting to buy in Brazil.
Box contents and design
THE iPhone 15 Pro Max It comes with the device, manual, SIM card lock, Apple sticker, and USB-C cable. Starting with the construction, the iPhone 15 Pro Max replaces the aluminum of the previous generation with the famous titanium. With this, the smartphones have become more durable and lighter. The difference in weight is about 20g. Another difference between them is the rear camera module, which is thinner in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The phone features dynamic islands, and the latest model's OLED display has smaller bezels. Unlike last year's smartphone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max now has a USB-C port instead of a Lightning connector. In addition to making life easier for users, it also allows you to record videos and save files directly to an external SSD. Of course, all of this is achieved thanks to the faster USB-C speeds seen on this device. Finally, we can't forget another important change. The iPhone 15 Pro Max now has an action button instead of a silent button. With this button, you can use it to open the camera, activate silent mode, flashlight, or open other applications.
Screen and processor
The iPhone 15 Pro Max features a 6.7-inch Retina XDR OLED display with Pro Motion technology that ranges from 1 to 120 Hz. According to Apple, this display has a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits, which should produce good results even in bright sunlight.
The chipset in the iPhone 15 Pro line is the new Apple A17 Pro, the first to be built with 6 cores and 3 nanometers. The A17 Pro's GPU has also been improved and now has six cores, which increases performance by 20%. In fact, the phone also guarantees Ray Tracing in games and the ability to run AAA console games. Apple has not disclosed the RAM capacity, but the device will have 8 GB and 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of internal storage. In fact, this set of hardware is the best that Apple has in its catalog. Thus, the iPhone 15 Pro Max runs everything with the highest quality and delivers the best performance.
Apple hasn't released battery numbers, but a successful teardown reveals that the iPhone 15 Pro Max's battery capacity is now around 4,422mAh. These numbers are very similar to those offered by last year's model. Therefore, the increased autonomy will definitely be guaranteed by the more efficient chipset of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
IOS 17
Overall, the system is well optimized and brings several new features not only for users of the iPhone 15 line, but also for older Apple devices. Some examples include a “standby” mode that turns the phone into a smart display when charging horizontally. There is also a “NameDrop”, a kind of contact card that can be shared when communicating with other iPhones. There are also tweaks to improve performance and artificial intelligence, as well as adjustments to animated stickers created from live photos.
Camera game
There are no sample photos yet, but let's take a closer look at the iPhone 15 Pro Max's spec sheet. A 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor is now available, in addition to the same 48-megapixel main camera from last year. Photos taken with the main camera are of high quality, and Apple has adjusted them to save at 24 megapixels by default. The software also preserves depth of field and other image details.
This allows you to apply a background blur later using only software. But the big news here is the telephoto sensor with up to 5x optical zoom. On the video recording side, Apple has made some tweaks to improve optical stabilization. In addition, the Pro-Res recording mode has been improved to allow for color editing later.
