Differences between iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max! Possible release on September 12th

【phoneauto】Apple may launch four new phones in September, with the iPhone 15 being the lowest-end model, the iPhone 15 Pro Max (rumored to be renamed iPhone 15 Ultra) being the top flagship, and the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro being positioned in the middle.

Key Differences between iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max

Most people may not struggle to choose between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max because they are completely different phones with significantly different prices. However, by comparing them, we can understand the extent of the differences within the Apple iPhone 15 series.

Currently, there is no confirmed information online regarding the specifications of the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, based on leaks and informed guesses, we can have a fairly comprehensive understanding of the possible features of these two phones.

According to leaks, the iPhone 15 will be equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2532×1170 and a refresh rate of only 60Hz. The phone will come with an A16 Bionic chip, a rear 48-megapixel main camera + 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a front 12-megapixel selfie camera, 6GB of RAM, and three memory options: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. It will have a built-in 3877mAh battery.

On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a 6.7-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1290×2796 and support a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The phone will be powered by an A17 Bionic chip, accompanied by 8GB of RAM and four memory options: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB. It will have a triple rear camera setup, including a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 12-megapixel periscope telephoto lens that supports 6x optical zoom. It will have a 4852mAh battery.

According to leaks and rumors, the price of iPhone 15 may be the same as or slightly higher than iPhone 14. For reference, the starting prices of iPhone 14 in different countries are 5,999 yuan/799 dollars/849 pounds/1,339 Australian dollars. It is reported that the production cost of iPhone 15 is about 12% higher, so the price may increase accordingly.

As for iPhone 15 Pro Max, it is said that the price of this model will almost certainly be higher than iPhone 14 Pro Max, and even well-known leaker Mark Gurman has mentioned that the price of the new model may increase.

For reference, the starting price of iPhone 14 Pro Max is 8,999 yuan/1,099 dollars/1,199 pounds/1,899 Australian dollars. The expected price of iPhone 15 Pro Max will be higher, but the specific price is currently unclear. It is worth mentioning that iPhone 15 Pro Max will offer larger storage options. iPhone 14 Pro Max offers four memory versions: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.

As for the release date, once these two phones are launched, they will soon be widely available for sale worldwide. Rumor has it that the release date of iPhone 15 is September 12th, and based on past situations, this likely means the shipping date will be September 22nd.

From the front view, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max may look very similar, with both models potentially featuring a flexible island that abandons the traditional notch. In addition, both models may have rounded side frames instead of the flat frames of the current models.

However, there will be some obvious differences when you flip the phones over. iPhone 15 Pro Max will have an additional camera lens compared to the standard iPhone 15. Both iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 may use textured frosted glass back panels.

Other possible differences may include the rumored presence of an operation button on iPhone 15 Pro Max (which will replace the mute switch), the use of titanium instead of aluminum or steel for the Pro Max, and different color options for the two models. iPhone 15 is rumored to come in light blue, cyan, pink, midnight, starlight, and red, while iPhone 15 Pro Max may have deep red, silver, gold, graphite, dark space gray, or space black as color options.

It is reported that Apple plans to release six colors for the standard version of the iPhone 15, but the internal adjustments are still ongoing, so the color options cannot be fully confirmed at the moment. Apple may introduce pink/rose gold and orange for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

Of course, the biggest visual difference may simply be their different sizes. The iPhone 15 may have similar dimensions to the iPhone 14, measuring 146.7×71.5×7.8mm, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max may be similar to its predecessor, measuring 160.7×77.6×7.9mm.

This difference is likely due to their potentially different screen sizes. The iPhone 15 is expected to be equipped with a compact 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max may feature a huge 6.7-inch screen.

This is not the only expected difference in the screens, as it is reported that the iPhone 15 will have a 60Hz refresh rate, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max will almost certainly have an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. In addition, if you want an always-on display, you may need to choose the Pro series.

Both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max are likely to be equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera, but a leak suggests that the camera on the iPhone 15 will have a smaller sensor, so its performance may not be as good. These two phones may also have a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, but it is currently unclear whether they will share the same sensor for this camera.

However, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will almost certainly come with a telephoto camera, and some leaks suggest that it will have a periscope design, offering a longer optical zoom distance than the telephoto camera on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. In any case, this additional lens will make it a better photography option than the standard iPhone 15.

As for the front camera, these two phones may be equipped with a 12-megapixel single selfie camera.

In terms of performance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has an advantage because this phone is almost certain to be equipped with the expected Apple A17 Bionic chip, while the standard version of the iPhone 15 is reported to inherit the A16 Bionic chip currently used in the iPhone 14 Pro series.

It is said that the CPU performance of the A17 Bionic has increased by 20%, so this could be a major upgrade and may come with 8GB of RAM (while the standard iPhone 15 only has 6GB).

Finally, although both phones will use the Type-C interface, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a Thunderbolt interface, which has a higher transmission speed and may support a higher data transfer speed of up to 40Gbps, while the standard iPhone 15 may reach a maximum of 20Gbps.

Leaked information suggests that both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max will have larger batteries compared to their predecessors. The iPhone 15 is said to have a 3877mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a 4852mAh battery.

Therefore, the battery of the iPhone 15 Pro Max may be the largest among the two so far, despite also having a larger screen. Based on past cases, it may have a longer battery life.

However, both models of the iPhone 15 are likely to adopt USB-C charging and support wireless charging. It is even possible that both phones will offer reverse wireless charging, allowing them to wirelessly charge other devices.

Based on leaked information, rumors, and expectations based on previous models, the iPhone 15 Pro Max may have a larger screen, higher refresh rate, higher-grade structure, a gesture button, an additional camera, a larger battery (providing longer usage time), and a more powerful chip.

iPhone 15 Pro Max may have other features, such as larger memory and faster data transfer speed, as well as larger storage space. There are even rumors that iPhone 15 Pro Max will be equipped with 2TB of storage space.

Of course, the trade-off is that its price will definitely be much higher than the standard version of iPhone 15, while the standard version of iPhone 15 may offer many core features of the iPhone 15 series (including MagSafe and USB-C port), but at only a fraction of the price of iPhone 15 Pro Max. The smaller screen of iPhone 15 may also be more appealing to some buyers.

There are many differences between iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max. iPhone 15 Pro Max will definitely rank high overall, but its pricing will also reflect that accordingly.
