We’re only two months away from the official announcement of the iPhone 15 at an Apple event. Many rumors and speculations revolve around this device, and it is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. There’s talk of a USB-C port, titanium frames, and more.
A question that arises every year for many users is whether they should buy the normal iPhone or spend a little more and go for the Pro model. With other versions, it might be difficult to make a decision, but personally, I think this time the right decision is clear: it’s worth this supplement for the high end.
256 GB: storage is doubled so that we can enjoy twice as much
According to a last-minute rumor, the basic storage of the iPhone 15 Pro it would increase from 128 GB to 256 GB. That’s a 100% increase, and if you’re one of those people who download a lot of apps or take a lot of photos, this would be your best bet in September when the new models are announced.
Either way, even if you think you won’t need that space, it’s not a bad idea to have it either. The more storage a device has available relative to its total capacity, the better it usually performs. He must work with fewer files to perform all your processesand it’s good for performance, so it would be good to keep that in mind.
ProMotion: never miss a frame
Professional models of the iPhone 15 will include ProMotion technology, which doubles the refresh rate of the device screen. This gives us very smooth animations and navigation. It’s something you don’t really enjoy until you try it, but if you have any doubts about it, I recommend you go to a store and try an iPhone with ProMotion for five minutes. , then use one that doesn’t have it.
The advantage of this technology is that it is optimized to consume less battery. While a 60Hz iPhone screen still operates at this refresh rate, that of the Pro models adapts to what you playgoing down to 10 Hz if necessary and going up to 120 Hz only in situations where the user will benefit from it.
Design and materials: the most premium experience on the market
According to the latest rumors, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus should be made of aluminum, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are made of titanium. The latter is much stronger and lighterit is therefore, objectively, a better material than aluminum for a mobile device.
On the other hand, although it is more subjective — and there is nothing written about tastes — the design of the Pro models seems much nicer to me than the normal ones. The camera module brings a lot more to the back, and if Cupertino does a good job, titanium could give the new iPhone 15 Pro an impressive touch.
Periscope lens and LiDAR sensor: a professional camera that also makes calls
Many users believe, without being mistaken, that the iPhone ceased to be a phone with a camera a long time ago and turned into a camera phone. It is a section in which Apple invests a lot of resources every year, and this year it will not be less. If you want to be able to take advantage of its latest improvements, the iPhone 15 Pro is for you.
This model will include a periscope lens that will have a much larger zoom than current models. This It will allow you to take better quality photos from a distance than with a normal iPhone 15s. In addition, and as has been the case for a few years now, the Pro models will exclusively include a LiDAR sensor which makes portraits much more beautiful, deeper and more precise. Finally, it also lets you do other things like scan objects or rooms.
Action button: further personalize your experience
According to rumors, one of the exclusive novelties of the iPhone 15 Pro will be the inclusion of an action button at the expense of the mythical “mute”. It will be similar to the one found in the Apple Watch Ultra, and it would make sense for it to be configurable to perform the action we prefer when pressed. This is a very good evolution compared to the switch that has accompanied us for so many years.
A17 and 8 GB of RAM: power and optimization for a train
If you want to get the most out of your iPhone, the Pro models are for you. The new A17 Bionic chip It will be manufactured in a 3 nanometer process, so it will be more powerful while consuming less energy. That is to say, you will enjoy better performance with less battery consumption. These are all benefits.
On the other hand, it is rumored that iPhone 15 Pro will bring 8GB of RAM while iPhone 15 will stay at 6GB. This would make Pro models able to run more apps at the same time, which would mean smoother operation and less hassle because we can start closing applications as we open others.
USB 3.0: Transfer data (almost) at the speed of light
One of the main novelties of these new iPhones will be the USB-C port, although rumors speak of a fundamental difference between the normal and Pro models. iPhone 15 will maintain Lightning charging and data transfer speeds, the iPhone 15 Pro will evolve and could increase its transfer speed to 40 GB/s. A real barbarity.
This is something especially useful if you’re someone who really enjoys taking photos. If at some point you wanted to transfer them to a computer, the best thing to do would be to buy a Pro model, because it would take infinitely less to do it than with normal models, which will unfortunately maintain a fairly low transfer speed. Either way, there will always be AirDrop.
As you can see, there are many differences between one model and another. We still don’t know what the price of each model will be, but if we compare it to current prices, the conclusion, at least for me, is quite clear. A 256 GB iPhone 14 costs 1,141.60 dollars in USA. In contrast, the base price of the iPhone 14 Pro is 1,321.60. Is it worth paying 180 dollars for everything we have just mentioned? I think it’s more than obvious that yes.
In any case, the important thing is that you buy the device that best suits your needs. Any option you consider good will beand the experience in the Pro and normal models is very good, so you don’t have to worry about it in the least.
