Apple iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro: What’s changed

Apple has brought some massive upgrades with the new iPhone 15 Pro. Starting with the build, the iPhone 15 Pro replaces the stainless steel from the iPhone 14 Pro with Titanium material. The new material makes it more premium, rugged, and lighter. Apple has managed to reduce the weight of the new Pro model by up to 19 grams.

For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have 187 grams/221 grams of weight, whereas, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max weigh 206/240 grams, respectively. Apple has also offered an even narrow-bezel screen on the new iPhone 15 Pro models as opposed to the 14 Pros. Both come with 6.1 and 6.7 inches Super Retina XDR panels with up to 120Hz refresh rate. Apple has offered 2,000 nits bright panels on both devices.

Coming to the cameras, both have a 48MP triple camera setup on the back, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max gets 5x optical zoom support. Now, it can go up to 25x digitally.
