Camera System Built for More Creative Control

Incredible Image Quality Capture

Through a deep integration of hardware and software, the advanced camera systems on iPhone 15 Pro pack the equivalent of seven pro lenses — all enabled by A17 Pro. With the power of computational photography, the 48MP Main camera gives you even more flexibility with a new 24MP super-high-resolution default, offering incredible image quality at a practical file size ideal for storing and sharing. The Main camera allows users to switch between three popular focal lengths — 24 mm, 28 mm, and 35 mm — and choose one as a new default. In addition to 48MP ProRAW, the Main camera supports 48MP HEIF images with 4x more resolution. iPhone 15 Pro features an expansive 3x Telephoto camera. It is excellent for close-ups, wildlife photos, and catching the action from further distances.

Next Generation Portraits on the iPhone 15 Pro

Next-generation portraits on iPhone 15 Pro feature sharper detail, more vivid colors, and better low-light performance. You can now take portraits without having to switch to Portrait mode. When a person, dog, or cat is in the frame, or when a user taps to focus, your new phone automatically captures depth information; thus, you can turn photos into stunning portraits later in the Photos app on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Users can also adjust the focus point after taking the photo for greater creative control.

Additional Benefits

Additional features that benefit all cameras on iPhone 15 Pro include:

• Night mode gets better with sharper details and more vivid colors, now powered by the Photonic Engine, including Night mode portraits, enabled by the LiDAR scanner.
• New Smart HDR captures subjects and the background with more true-to-life renderings of skin tones while ensuring photos have brighter highlights, richer mid-tones, and deeper shadows when viewed in the Photos app. This advanced HDR rendering is also available to third-party apps, so images can look even better when shared online.
• The best quality video in a smartphone is upgraded thanks to A17 Pro, with low-light video and Action mode improvements. Recording 4K videos is smooth and easy, like a breeze.

iPhone 15 Pro Best for Creatives and Pros

Creative pros and filmmakers prefer the iPhone 15 Pro and others in the Pro range. It gets even better with new pro workflows. You can get up to 20x faster transfer speeds with an optional USB 3 cable. iPhone and third-party solutions like Capture One also help photographers create a pro studio, allowing them to shoot and instantly transfer 48MP ProRAW images from iPhone to Mac. ProRes video can be recorded directly to external storage, enabling higher recording options up to 4K at 60 fps and greater flexibility on set when using the iPhone as the main camera. iPhone 15 Pro also introduces a new option for Log encoding. It is the first smartphone in the world to support ACES, the Academy Color Encoding System, a global standard for color workflows.

iPhone 15 Pro Performance

All Action Button

The all-new Action button replaces the single-function switch used to toggle between ring and silent, offering additional options so users can choose between quickly accessing the camera or flashlight, activating Voice Memos, Focus modes, Translate, and accessibility features like Magnifier, or using Shortcuts for more options. A press-and-hold gesture with fine-tuned haptic feedback and visual cues in Dynamic Island ensures the new button launches the intended action.

Chipset

Bringing pro performance and capabilities, the iPhone 15 Pro is powered by A17 Pro, the industry’s first 3-nanometer chip. Continuing Apple’s leadership in smartphone silicon, the A17 Pro improves the entire chip, including the most extensive GPU redesign in Apple’s history. The new CPU is up to 10% faster with microarchitectural and design improvements, and the Neural Engine is now up to 2x faster, powering features like autocorrect and Personal Voice in iOS 17. The pro-class GPU is up to 20% quicker and unlocks entirely new experiences, featuring a new 6-core design that increases peak performance and energy efficiency.

Great for High Setting Games

Now, with hardware-accelerated ray tracing —4x faster than software-based ray tracing — the iPhone 15 Pro offers smoother graphics and more immersive AR applications and gaming experiences. iPhone 15 Pro brings true-to-life gaming to the palm of users’ hands with console titles never before seen on a smartphone, like Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. A17 Pro includes a dedicated AV1 decoder, enabling more efficient, high-quality video experiences for streaming services.
