This model is intended for carriers in Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, as well as the US territories of Guam and the USVI, but it is technically compatible with carriers globally.


All iPhone 15 Pro models feature a haptic-touch enabled 6.1-inch (diagonal) "Super Retina XDR display" with ProMotion technology (2556x1179, 460 ppi, 120Hz refresh rates) that covers nearly the entire front of the device. It is equipped with four cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, housed in the "Dynamic Island," supports Face ID and is capable of capturing 12-megapixel photos and recording 4K video. The rear of the device features a "Pro camera system" that includes a 48-megapixel "Main" camera, a 12-megapixel "Ultra Wide" camera, and a 12-megapixel "3X Telephoto" camera. This camera system introduces a new 24-megapixel "super-high-resolution" default setting, provides users with the ability to switch between three popular focal lengths (24 mm, 28 mm, and 35 mm), and also supports 48-megapixel HEIF images for four times the resolution of previous models.


The iPhone 15 Pro is built with an "aerospace-grade" Titanium frame featuring contoured edges over an aluminum "substructure," and has a glass front and back. The front is protected by a durable "Ceramic Shield" cover, and the back has an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connector. It is rated IP68 for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). The device is available in four muted "Titanium" color options: Natural, Blue, White, and Black.


Internally, the iPhone 15 Pro is powered by a 3.78 GHz "Apple A17 Pro" processor, with a six-core CPU (two performance and four efficiency cores), a 6-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, "hardware-accelerated ray tracing," and a "dedicated AV1 decoder" for more efficient video streaming. It includes 8 GB of RAM and is available with 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB of flash storage. The device also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, Thread networking, second-generation Ultra Wideband, NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve" for compatible transit systems, Crash Detection, Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance via satellite, a USB-C port, a new "Action" button that replaces the former ring/silent switch, and support for both dual eSIMs and a single physical nano-SIM.


Apple's battery life estimates for the iPhone 15 Pro are up to 75 hours of audio playback, 23 hours of video playback, and 20 hours of streamed video playback.
