iPhone 15 Pro — USB-C and Titanium
Apple released the iPhone 15 Pro with a titanium frame, USB-C port, and the Action button, embracing universal connectivity and premium materials.
On September 22, 2023, Apple released the iPhone 15 Pro, marking several historic firsts. It was the first iPhone with a USB-C port — replacing Lightning after 11 years, partly driven by EU regulations mandating a universal charging standard. The frame was made of aerospace-grade titanium, making it the lightest Pro model ever. The mute switch was replaced by a customizable Action button. Inside, the A17 Pro chip — Apple's first 3-nanometer processor — enabled console-quality gaming and advanced computational photography. The 5x telephoto zoom on the Pro Max model rivaled dedicated cameras. The shift to USB-C symbolized Apple's gradual embrace of interoperability.
