The 48MP camera on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus offers a noteworthy advancement not only in terms of megapixels but also in functionality. It serves a dual role as a telephoto camera, capable of cropping in to capture high-quality 2x optical zoom shots at 12MP resolution.
For the first time on a non-Pro iPhone, users effectively have three rear camera capabilities, including a telephoto function. While technically there are still only two physical lenses, this enhancement significantly boosts the versatility of the iPhone 15’s camera system.
Number 7. Unveiling the Super-Powerful New Chipset: Redefining Performance
While the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have inherited the formidable A16 Bionic chipset from the iPhone 14 Pro series, there’s something fresh and powerful driving the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
It goes by the name of the A17 Pro, Apple’s latest smartphone chipset, boasting a substantial 10% boost in CPU performance, a remarkable 20% increase in GPU speed, and the capability to support hardware-accelerated ray tracing, promising stunning graphics in upcoming iOS games. Additionally, the Neural Engine’s performance, responsible for iPhone’s smart features, has been doubled.
Although some of these performance metrics are more impressive than others, it’s worth noting that even a year after its launch, the A16 Bionic still competes strongly with the best chipsets in Android smartphones. Therefore, the A17 Pro is expected to be a powerhouse, setting a new standard for smartphone performance.
