What is the difference between the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15?

Although they look fairly similar, there are some key differences between the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro.

Firstly, the 15 Pro has a titanium build - making it the first titanium-body iPhone. It's therefore a lot lighter and more durable than past iPhone designs.

It's also powered by the A17 Bionic chip, as opposed to the older A16 powering the 15. This means that processing speed and power will be noticeably better in the iPhone 15 Pro.

Another noteable difference between the two models is the type of USB-C on offer. The standard iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, while also USB-C, are only capable of USB 2 speeds (which is the same as lightning cables), whereas Pro models have USB 3 speeds of up to 10Gbps. This will make transferring big files between your iPhone and another device an absolute breeze.

And, of course, the iPhone 15 Pro has a new action button to replace the mute toggle. You'll be able to customise this to open your favourite apps, start a voice note, or use Siri shortcuts. And you can still mute your phone with a long-press, too.

Should I get the iPhone 15 Pro or the iPhone 14 Pro?

Both this year's and last year’s Pro models are excellent, top-quality smartphones. Both the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro have fantastic camera setups with a 48MP main camera, a powerful processor and excellent battery life.

However, the iPhone 15 Pro has the new, faster USB-C charger and the new 'action button', which you can customise to open various different apps, accessibility features or shortcuts. You'll also get better low light photography and reduced lens flare thanks to a new camera coating Apple has added.

That being said, the newer, more advanced handset comes with a higher price tag. So, if these additional fancy features aren’t a huge priority for you, you could save a lot of money by opting for the iPhone 14 Pro and still get a top-level smartphone.

How does the iPhone 15 Pro compare to other handsets on the UK market?

Apple's biggest competitor in the smartphone market is probably Samsung, and the iPhone 15 Pro is a strong competitor for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

A number of the new features introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro have been standard in the S24 Ultra (and even the S23 Ultra) for a while now. Samsung has had a customisable action button for years, and its 10x optical zoom puts Apple's 3x zoom to shame.

However, you can't really compete with the iPhone's design and usability which will always make it a fan favourite.

How good is the iPhone 15 Pro display?

The iPhone 15 Pro boasts a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, with a ProMotion refresh rate and always-on display.

But it's worth noting that this is almost exactly the same display as last year's iPhone 14 Pro, so there isn't a big difference to justify the price point if this is an important factor for you.

How good is the iPhone 15 Pro camera?

As the pro version of Apple’s flagship phone, the iPhone 15 Pro has an amazing camera set-up.

- Main camera: 48MP - Ultra-wide: 12MP - Telephoto lens: 12MP (with 3x optical zoom) - Front-facing camera: 12MP

One new camera feature in the 15 Pro is in Portrait mode. Apple's new focus and depth control lets you change the area of your photo that's in focus, so you can have a clearer background and more blurry foreground if you wanted to focus on something further in the distance.

How good is the iPhone 15 Pro for video?

The iPhone has always been known to be the best smartphone for video. With excellent past features like Cinematic Mode and significantly high image quality, Apple's often above the resat in this department.

As a result, there are only some slight improvements to the iPhone 15 Pro's video capabilities this year. This includes a new second-generation stabilisation feature, which makes recording on the move the smoothest experience yet. It also lets you record 4K in 60fps for the first time, to add to the smooth quality.

Plus, in a feature that's tied into Apple's recently-announced Vision Pro VR headset, the new Pro lets you record spatial video in 3D, so you can step back into your memories when using the headset.

Uswitch mobiles expert comments on the iPhone 15 Pro launch

Ru Bhikha, Uswitch mobiles expert, says:

“While the iPhone 15 Plus comes with a ‘bigger’ battery, Apple has remained tight-lipped thus far about how this translates to battery life. Our recent research found that battery life was the number one consideration for Brits when buying a new smartphone.

“The new iPhone 15 Pro will be slightly cheaper than last year’s models. Prices start at £999 - down £100 from the £1,099 the iPhone 14 Pro cost in 2022.

“While it’s positive to see a drop in price, these phones are still a big investment. As households are feeling the pinch more than ever, it’s important to research what’s on offer before splashing out.
