However, it's important to note that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max do not support the lightning-fast charging speeds seen in some Android competitors. They max out at 27W, so while you can get a 50% charge in 30 minutes, a full charge will take a bit longer. The USB-C ports on these phones support USB 3.0 standards and faster data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps.
However, it's disappointing that the included braided USB-C cable in the box only supports USB 2.0 speeds, requiring users to purchase a separate USB 3.0 cable for full functionality. A new titanium enclosure offers a noticeable weight reduction and a luxurious brushed finish on the sides. The rounded edges make the phones easier to hold, despite still maintaining a sleek metal and glass design.
The internal structure remains aluminum for effective heat dissipation. Concerns about overheating due to titanium use seem unfounded, as the phones don’t run significantly hotter than previous models, but Apple has released updates to address overheating concerns.The display sizes and quality remain the same, with both models featuring OLED Super Retina XDR displays and ProMotion technology. The always-on displays look vibrant and sharp, maintaining Apple’s high standards.
