Action Button on iPhone 15 pro Max

Apple replaced the mute switch button with Action button on 15 pro models
The button can be assigned to the following things:

Silent Mode, Focus Mode, Camera. Flashlight, Voice Memos, Accessibility features like Magnifier and for Shortcuts

Note: A press and hold is required to trigger the action
So just by pressing the button, it will NOT work

Android smartphones can already do same things with the use of power button only lol
NO need for extra button for these things

Apple could have done that too with power button on ALL iPhones
But they kept it exclusive for pro models only lol

What's new with Airpods Pro 2nd Gen

Apple released AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe Charging Case with USB Type-C port

Apart from Type-C, the Airpods Pro 2 are IP54 rated which adds protection against dust as well
Original model is IPX4 rated, which guaranteed water protection only to a certain level

Airpods Pro 2 even feature Apple's Lossless Audio codec support with ultra-low latency

But unfortunately, the powerful 20-bit, 48 kHz Lossless Audio can ONLY be unlocked when paired with Apple Vision Pro which will launch ONLY in the US for just 3500$

To charge your Airpods Pro having Lightning port with Type C cable, you will need to buy separate Type C -to- Lightning port adapter which costs 30$

Ironically, if you want a USB-C charging case you need to buy a new Airpods Pro (2nd Gen) because Apple is NOT selling a standalone case like they did with the move to wireless charging cases.

Apple airpods 2 costs 249$

Apple A17 Pro processor

iPhone 15 Pro models are powered by A17 Pro chip

The leaks claimed that Apple A17 will be manufactured on TSMC 3nm N3E process but to our surprise its made on TSMC 3nm N3B process

So this means, the standard A17 version that will be used in iPhone 16 & 16 Plus will be built on TSMC 3nm N3E process

N3B process has better performance than N3E, prolly thats why Apple used "Pro" moniker.
But currently N3E has better yields than N3B

CPU:
2x High Performance + 4x Efficiency cores
19 Billion transistors (A16 has16 Billion)

Apple has also implemented micro-architectural enhancements, resulting in a promising 10% speed boost

16x Neural Engine cores
35 TOPS (A16 has 17 TOPS)

NEW Hardware Features:
ProRes Codec video engine
Pro Display engine
AV1 decoding only

GPU:
6 cores (A16 has 5 cores)
Mesh Shading
Re-designed architecture which resulted in 20% increase in performance

Hardware-level Ray Tracing:
Full 4x improvement over the A16’s software-based light-tracing.

iPhone 15 Pro models will get support for AAA console games

FULL versions of “AAA” console games will be making their way to the latest iPhone 15 Pro series, later this year

These games include:
• Resident Evil 4 Remake
• Assassin’s Creed Mirage
• The Division Resurgence
• Death Stranding
• Resident Evil Village

Hoyoverse — Genshin Impact and HSR (Honkai Star Rail) will support Apple's MetalFX upscaling technology and players will notice faster response times while gaming

Apple A17 Pro chip supports — Mesh Shading and Hardware-based Ray tracing

Mesh shading will increase graphics performance by optimizing shader processing

Ray Tracing is a rendering technology that allows for more realistic lighting effects in 3D environments
So, games on iPhone 15 pro series will offer 30fps to create a smoother, less stuttered gaming experience

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is coming to consoles and PCs on October 5th, on iPhone 15 Pro models in early 2024

Xiaomi Teases Apple: 48MP Camera Comedy!

Xiaomi, the ever-entertaining character in the world of tech, has taken a playful jab at Apple's latest iPhone 15 series.

Xiaomi's argument? They've been rocking the 48MP camera tech since 2019 with their $200 Redmi Note 7 series

But here's the twist,
It's NOT just about having lots of megapixels (MP), but how you use them
Apple's camera tech can make even 12MP photos look amazing with their computational photography outperforming 48MP cams that Xiaomi used

Xiaomi is so proud of being early with 48MP cameras but ended up paying royalty to LEICA for their help LOL

Leica does the computational photography & sensors callibrations along with its tuning in Xiaomi smartphones.
Meanwhile the camera app is done by Xiaomi

Apple doesn't even require help from another brand for their camera tech unlike Xiaomi
I think the last time most of us cared about megapixels was probably back in 2019 when Xiaomi added that 48MP camera.

Apple A17 Pro appeared on Geekbench

iPhone 15 Pro (codenamed D83) with 8GB RAM have been spotted on geekbench

GeekBench 6 scores
Single: 2900
Multi: 7200

Comparing to iPhone 14 Pro (codenamed D73) with 6GB RAM
Single: 2600
Multi: 6900

So, Just 300 scores more with A17 Pro built on TSMC 3nm N3B process compared to A16 Bionic on TSMC 4nm process

Interestingly, some peeps on Weibo says that the Apple A17 Pro chip seems to be A16 Pro chip

When matching the core codenames with the comments, it appears that "H14" corresponds to A15, and "H15" corresponds to A16.
However, instead of H16, there is a comment labeled "H15 Coll."
So "Coll" is considered as A17

It is suggested that the A17 Pro might be essentially based on the A16 architecture with cache optimization, clock upgrades, and additional GPU cores added (6 cores, up from 5 cores)

So, Apple barely did any improvement over A16 apart from GPU sector

What really has been upgraded with iPhone 15 series

Regular iPhone 15 is NOW iPhone 14 pro but with some CONS
- 60Hz refresh rate
- NO Always On Display (AOD)
- NO Telephoto & LiDAR
- USB-C 2.0 which gives SAME speed as lightning port

Now with these cons especially 60Hz screen in 2023, it still costs 800$

iPhone 15 Plus is essentially iPhone 15 with larger screen size & costs 900$

iPhone 15 Pro comes with:
• Titanium build
• A17 Pro chip
• Log video recording
• Academy Color Encoding System
• Thread networking
• USB-C 3

A17 Pro is NOT even a big upgrade since it is based on the A16 Bionic architecture with cache optimization, clock upgrades, and GPU cores added

Everything else like Display, camera specs, battery, is SAME as iPhone 14 Pro

iPhone 15 Pro costs 1,000$
Funny enough that iPhone 14 Pro/Max is NOT even available to purchase on Apple website in the US

iPhone 15 Pro Max costs 1200$ with bigger screen size & has 5x Telephoto.
ELSE everything is SAME as iPhone 15 Pro
