First impression of the iPhone 15 Pro (Max)
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max don't have a surprising look. The devices look the same as their predecessors and are the same size. The 15 Pro has a large 6.1-inch screen, while the 15 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch screen. On the back, you'll find the camera island with 3 different lenses. You'll also find a USB-C cable in the box now, because the new series no longer has a Lightning port. Another addition, Apple now includes a nylon cable. These cables are less likely to break than the plastic cable that Apple used to include.
Titanium housing with action button

The USB-C port.
The housing of the Apple iPhone 15 Pro (Max) models is made of titanium. In my opinion, the models have a classy look. This is mainly thanks to the matte finish of the device. The new Action button is located on the side of the device above the volume buttons. The so-called 'silence button' used to be there. I can set what I want to use the Action button for myself. For example, you can quickly open your favorite app like Spotify. I use the Action button to turn the flashlight on and off. This allows me to quickly turn on the flashlight. That's very useful when I'm looking for an AirPod I dropped in a dark room, for example.
Beautiful photos thanks to the 3 lenses

In this series, the Pro and Pro Max also have 3 lenses on the back. I can take photos of my pet with the standard 48-megapixel lens. Photos of objects like a flower are also no problem thanks to the macro function. Thanks to the wide-angle lens, I can photograph larger buildings. With the zoom lens on the iPhone 15 Pro, I can zoom in up to 3 times without losing quality. With the iPhone 15 Pro Max, I can even zoom in 5 times. I'm very impressed with the quality of these photos. This allows you to bring certain subjects a lot closer and focus on them in the photo. The colors are also very bright, and you can see a lot of details.
2 sizes: 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches
You can also buy the Pro models in this line in 2 sizes. The screen of the iPhone 15 Pro is 6.1 inches. Thanks to this compact size, I can easily control the smartphone with 1 hand. The larger model is the iPhone 15 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch screen. At first glance, the smartphone looks large to me, but I quickly got used to it. I actually really like having more screen space. On the other hand, it's more difficult for me to control it with 1 hand. I have fairly large hands myself, but keep this in mind if you have small hands.
Navigate and open apps at extremely fast
Thanks to the new A17 Pro chip, the iPhone 15 Pro (Max) is very powerful. I can open my favorite apps very quickly and switch between them effortlessly. Editing a vacation video is also no problem, the smartphone can handle it all. You also have a longer battery life, because the processor is more efficient. I can easily use the iPhone 15 Pro Max all day, even when I use navigation and take a lot of photos. Soon, you'll even be able to play well-known console games such as Assassin's Creed Mirage on your iPhone 15 Pro (Max).
Conclusion iPhone 15 Pro (Max) review
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are Apple's high-end devices. They mainly excel because of the camera and the photos it allows you to take. The basic 15 Pro with the 6.1-inch screen is useful and takes beautiful photos. If you take a lot of photos with your smartphone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is especially suitable for you. Thanks to the 5x zoom, you can take beautiful photos that look professional even from a distance. You can also comfortably watch movies and series on the large screen.
