The new phones look roughly the same as last year: Two glass panes sandwiched in a metal frame, with the pill-shaped Dynamic Island as the only interruption on the displays. But the design has been refined in several ways.

Not only is titanium cool-looking, it’s also more durable, while making the phones slightly lighter. The displays are the same size — 6.1 and 6.7 inches — but the bezels are thinner, meaning that the iPhone 15 Pro is just a tiny bit smaller than last year's iPhone 14 Pro.

The chip that powers the iPhone 15 Pro is Apple's new A17 Pro chip. It's a 3 nanometer chip, with 19 billion transistors, 6 main cores (2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores), and the 16-core Neural Engine. The chip is 10 percent faster, and the Neural Engine is up to two times faster than last year's chip. The GPU, which has also been improved with a new 6-core design, is up to 20 percent faster than the one on last year's A16 Bionic.
The biggest improvement is the camera. On the iPhone 15 Pro Max (but not the regular iPhone 15 Pro), there’s a new telephoto camera, with a new tetra-prism design, increasing the zoom up to 5x. (The iPhone 15 Pro maxes out at 3x.)

Notably, the camera can now capture Spatial Video, which is designed to be watched on Apple's upcoming Vision Pro, though that's coming later this year. Other improvements include sharper and overall better portrait photos, improved Night Mode, and the ability to switch between three focal lengths — 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm — on the main camera.
The new iPhones also have Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which should improve Precision Finding on Find My, making it easier to share your location, even in a big crowd.
