iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max Launched in Nepal With 8GB of RAM Alongside A17 Pro Chip

Yesterday at its September event, Apple announced several new smartwatches in addition to its most recent iPhones. Additionally, the entire array of the iPhone 15 series features some noticeable enhancements. Let’s instead focus on the characteristics, details, and anticipated cost of the iPhone 15 Pro Max in Nepal for the time being.

iPhone 15 Pro Max Overview

Build and Display

It has a titanium construction, making it the first iPhone. It becomes lighter and stronger as a result of this. As a result, the largest iPhone of 2023 weighs only 221 grams, which is an 8% decrease from the 240 grams of the 14 Pro Max. This year’s iPhones all have slightly curved edges and IP68 dust and water protection, including the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

But this time, the new “Action Button” is something that is exclusive to the Pro models. It takes the position of the recognizable alert switch, and you may now configure this button to start a variety of shortcuts.

Moving on, the display appears to be unaltered, and the Dynamic Island also shows no changes. It is a “Super Retina XDR” OLED display measuring 6.7 inches with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits, a resolution of 2796 x 1290 pixels, and a pixel density of 460 ppi. The same “Ceramic Shield” display protection is present as well.

Additionally, Apple has adopted an LTPO backplane, which can reduce the refresh rate to as low as 1Hz on demand. This time, the only innovation is that the display of the iPhone 15 Pro Max has less bezels than those of its predecessor.

A17 Pro

The brand-new A17 Pro chip is what gives the iPhone 15 Pro Max its performance. This CPU offers 20% more GPU performance than the A16 Bionic thanks to its fabrication on the industry’s best 3nm process. A casual user might not even notice the improvement because these high-end CPUs are already extremely competent. However, the additional GPU power will undoubtedly be useful for gamers.

In actuality, Apple has additionally guaranteed that titles like “Resident Evil 4 Remake” and “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” will be directly converted to the iPhone 15 series. Although Apple seldom makes RAM specs available, the iPhone 15 Pro series appears to have 8GB of memory. In contrast, the 15 Pro Max now comes standard with 256GB of storage and can be upgraded to 1TB.

Cameras

The iPhone 15 Pro Max receives a respectable boost to its cameras this time around. Instead of the 3X optical zoom lens found in its predecessor, it now has. As opposed to the 77mm focal length on the 14 Pro Max, Apple has crammed a 120mm equivalent telephoto lens inside a tetraprism design. Higher magnification is made possible by this longer focal length, which the tetraprism design achieves without causing the phone’s actual size to expand. On the newest iPhone, the sensor size is likewise around 25% larger.

The primary camera and the ultrawide remain the same as they were the previous year, excluding software modifications like those to the Photonic Engine. The ultrawide camera on the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 12MP f/2.2 lens while the main camera has a 48MP f/1.78 sensor. The iPhone now has a new feature that enables it to conveniently switch to portrait mode when it detects humans or animals. The front-facing camera is the same 12MP one from the prior year and supports FaceID.

Rest of the specs

Although all of the new iPhones have USB-C ports, only the Pro and Pro Max can handle faster rates (up to 10 gigabits per second) since the A17 Pro’s USB 3 controller supports them. The same WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, dual-frequency GPS, and NFC are available as connectivity choices. However, the 15 Pro Max does have a second-generation Ultra-wideband (UWB) processor, which is more recent.
