iPhone 15 Pro drops in price again!

Apple announced the iPhone 15 lineup in Nepal on October of 2023. And all the iPhone 15 models have received a price cut in Nepal including the iPhone 15 Pro. So, in this article, let’s talk about the iPhone 15 Pro, its features, specifications, and new official price in Nepal.

iPhone 15 Pro Overview:

Design and Build 

The iPhone 15 Pro, much like its bigger brother, sports a titanium alloy build. Because of this, it is lighter on top of being stronger than the iPhone 14 Pro. All iPhones this year, have a slightly curved design that doesn’t dig into the hand, unlike last year’s boxy edges. The Pro iPhones also replace the alert switch with a new and programmable “Action Button”.

As for the display, not much has changed. And on paper, it is the exact same as last year’s iPhone 14 Pro. You’re looking at a 6.1-inch “Super Retina XDR” OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion and 2,000 nits brightness. The LTPO panel can vary from 1Hz to 120Hz whenever necessary. It has got the same “Ceramic Shield” protection that we’ve been seeing since the iPhone 12.

But one thing that’s different is its bezels, Apple has managed to fit the same screen in a slightly smaller chassis leading to minimal bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro.

Performance 

Under the hood, the iPhone 15 Pro gets the new A17 Pro chipset. It’s now the second year that Apple has decided to keep newer chipsets exclusive to the “Pro” iPhones.

As such, the more affordable iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus lack the same horsepower as the 15 Pro. According to Apple, this 3nm-based processor has 20% improved GPU performance over the A16 Bionic. And, the neural engine is twice as fast. Overall, it seems like the new chip is about 10% faster than its predecessor. The A17 Pro also houses a USB 3 controller needed for faster USB-C charging/transfer speeds.

Though it isn’t mentioned on Apple’s website, the iPhone 15 Pro is confirmed to have 8GB of RAM versus the 6GB on last year’s 14 Pro. The base 128GB configuration doesn’t see a change, unlike the iPhone 15 Pro Max which now starts with 256GB.

Cameras

Moving onto the cameras, the iPhone 15 Pro is an outlier here. The vanilla iPhone 15 and 15 Plus see a bump in megapixel count, whereas the 15 Pro Max features an improved 5X telephoto camera. The 15 Pro, on the other hand, doesn’t receive any notable hardware improvements.

The main 48MP primary, the 12MP ultrawide, and the 12MP telephoto are all the same as last year’s. On the front, the 12MP selfie cam is accompanied by a true depth sensor for FaceID.

But we can’t forget about the software though. A neat feature is the ability to capture depth information while taking pictures so that you can apply and adjust portrait blur later down the road. And while that sounds cool, it’s not exclusive to the 15 Pro models.

Rest of the specs

USB-C has finally replaced the aging Lighting port on all the new iPhones. As I stated earlier, the Pro models have faster USB-3 speeds (up to 10 gigabits per second) compared to the 15 and 15 Plus (USB 2.0 speeds). For wireless connections, you get WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, dual-frequency GPS, and NFC. Ultra-wideband (UWB) connections might see an improvement with the second-gen UWB chip.
