iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max Review: Same Price, Impressive Upgrades

Apple gave its Pro models a glow-up with a refreshed lighter build, a new shortcut button, and the world’s smallest processor -- all while managing to keep that tried-and-true iPhone aesthetic front and center. In my time reviewing both phones, I recorded videos of penguins swimming, played the console game Resident Evil Village on the 15 Pro, gave the 15 Pro Max’s new zoom lens a spin atop a Ferris wheel in San Francisco, and tried, absentmindedly, to put a Lightning cable into the new USB-C port (old habits, am I right?). The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are defined by their refinements and represent one of the most compelling releases from Apple in years.
