iPhone 15 Pro Max looks like this: “Outstanding” design with an unprecedented upgrade, plus a super-luxury red color

Apple tends to use one design and stick with it for several years. The current flat-edge design debuted with the iPhone 12, and very little has changed since. With the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple’s high-end product line this year will be another version of the existing design – in which the edge of the metal frame will curve into the glass back for a uniform product appearance. and smoother.

In addition, the material used will be titanium instead of stainless steel. The glass back will be kept to support wireless charging and MagSafe. Owning a frame made of titanium alloy brings lighter weight but stronger strength than stainless steel. However, this also makes the price of the iPhone 15 Pro duo will be higher than its predecessor.

Another expected change comes from the screen border of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. A source from Ice Universe, a famous leaker, said that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a 1.55mm thin screen, more than Xiaomi 13 – the smartphone that holds the record when it is only 1.81mm thin. Thus, Apple can compact its phones by nearly 30% – which makes many believers look forward to new product launches.

There will be no more physical buttons

Recent consecutive rumors bring hope of a drastic change on the iPhone 15 Pro. One of them is the removal of 2 familiar mechanical buttons, which have existed since the first iPhone generation.

On March 20, the ShrimpApplePro Twitter account, a source that often reveals details about Apple’s upcoming products, shared a short video that went live on Douyin. It shows the CAD design with details that the iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max will have a button to switch silent mode and adjust volume in the form of a sensor.

They are called “taptic” because they provide haptic feedback when the user’s finger touches it. Thanks to limited physical details, the device is also more durable than its predecessor, which Apple did with the Apple Watch Ultra.

Powerful A17 Chip

The successor of the iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max is likely to be integrated with the A17 Bionic processor, a chipset manufactured based on TSMC’s advanced 3nm process.

This change will help deliver stronger performance while reducing power consumption when in use. Rumors also indicate that this chip will support Wi-Fi 6E connectivity for faster wireless speeds, with 8GB of RAM, an increase of 2GB compared to the previous generation.

However, like the iPhone 14 series, the latest Apple Bionic chip is expected to be reserved for the iPhone Pro duo. That means the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will have the A16 processor of 2022, and the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the new A17 processor.

The appearance of USB-C

Apple’s move to the USB-C port has been predicted for years, this will certainly happen on the iPhone 15 series. The European Union – EU has passed a law forcing smartphone manufacturers to adopt a standard connector and Apple must comply by 2024.

Switching to a USB-C port does not guarantee faster speeds, but it will bring more convenience. According to famous analyst – Ming Chi Kuo, Apple may use the USB 4 / Thunderbolt standard on the iPhone 15 Pro duo. This standard will increase wired data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps, an increase of about 80 times compared to USB 2.0 speeds on current iPhones.

However, one rumor suggests that Apple may “limit” the versatility of the USB-C port with its own Made for iPhone (MFi) certification. Accordingly, cable products that lack MFi certification may have limited charging and data transfer speeds when connected to iPhone.

The periscope camera has been expected for many years

In 2022, the iPhone 14 Pro pair made a significant “leap” in camera capabilities thanks to the 48MP main sensor. However, the upgrade on the telephoto camera is quite limited, mainly relying on cutting images from the main camera if the light is not strong enough.

Rumors say that the camera with a periscope lens will appear on the iPhone 15 Series. More specifically, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a periscope lens for better optical zoom. Ming-Chi Kuo said that this lens will be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max and will be available on both iPhone 16 Pro models next year.

Super luxurious wine red option

Apple often launches special color options for each of its latest iPhones. iPhone 12 Pro is available in blue (Pacific Blue), iPhone 13 Pro has stone blue (Sierra Blue) and iPhone 14 Pro is sold with two new options: black (Space Black) and deep purple (Deep Purple). The next iPhone 15 series is expected to be no exception.

According to information from 9to5Mac, Apple has planned to add a new color option to the iPhone lineup of 2023. Specifically, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are said to be wine red (Burgundy). According to some images provided, this version will be darker than the Product Red color that appeared on the iPhone XR and iPhone 11.

For the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, the report says Apple is testing two new colors, blue (Cyan) and dark pink (Magenta).
