iPhone 15 Pro Impresses with Blazing Speeds, Jaw-Dropping Cameras and Refined Experience, Though Not Without Controversies
-
Battery life on the iPhone 15 Pro models is excellent, lasting over a day on the Pro and up to 2 days on the Pro Max. The phones also charged faster than the iPhone 14 Pro models in CNET's tests.
-
Performance is blazing fast thanks to the new A17 Bionic chip. The iPhone 15 Pro models benchmarked higher than any other phone CNET has tested.
-
The camera upgrades like the 5x optical zoom produce stunning photos. The new 24MP mode adds detail while combining pixel binning and high resolution.
-
Features like the Always-On display, Dynamic Island, and Standby mode add to the refinement and experience. Some fun additions in iOS 17 too.
-
There have been some controversies like overheating and screen burn-in, but software updates have helped. And the new cases show wear quickly. But overall the phones represent an excellent improvement.
