The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the ultimate iPhone and arguably the ultimate phone. It’s also a bigger upgrade over the iPhone 15 Pro than you might expect.
There’s almost too much to talk about here, but let’s start with its A17 Pro chipset, which is powerful enough to offer ray tracing and allow for console quality games, with Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Death Stranding all set to launch on it.
Then there’s its camera, which includes a 48MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP telephoto, offering 5x optical zoom. That’s the longest zoom ever seen on an iPhone, and has the iPhone 15 Pro’s 3x optical zoom beat.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max also has titanium sides, which is a luxurious material that’s strong, light, and expensive. This is an elegantly designed phone through and through, with tiny bezels, toughened glass on the front and back, and water resistance.
There’s also a new Action button on the side, which you can customise to activate a feature of your choice, from a large number of options, and there’s a USB-C port on the bottom, rather than the dated Lightning port of its predecessor.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max excels for battery life too, beating its siblings – and most other phones – by offering up to 29 hours of life when watching videos, which is a remarkable longevity for a smartphone.
Elsewhere you’ll find a high resolution 6.7-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a hefty amount of storage, and iOS 17, which is Apple’s latest and best operating system for phones.
