Verdictįor the first time in a couple of years buyers of Apple’s top smartphones have a more difficult decision to make on their next upgrade. The iPhone 15 Pro costs from £999 (€1,199/ $999/ A$1,849) with 128GB of storage.įor comparison, the iPhone 15 costs £799, the iPhone 15 Pro Max costs £1,199, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra costs £1,249, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 costs £1,049, the Google Pixel 7 Pro costs £849 and the Fairphone 5 costs £649. It’s just shame it lacks the 5x optical zoom camera of the Pro Max. Overall, the 15 Pro’s ultrawide, main and 3x telephoto cameras are unrivalled at this size of phone, producing really great images in most conditions with very little work required. The camera also has the useful 2x zoom mode from last year, while all three cameras also now automatically capture portrait photos without needing a dedicated mode, which is a much better system. The main camera captures 24-megapixel photos by default, can shoot at three different focal lengths (24, 28 or 35mm) and capture full 48MP photos in either ProRaw or HEIF formats, which will please keen photographers.
