New Delhi: The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max were formally launched by tech giant Apple on Tuesday. In contrast to the versions from the previous year, the Pro models’ frames have a brushed appearance. Titanium is not only attractive, but it also makes phones somewhat lighter and more durable. The screens’ dimensions—6.1 and 6.7 inches—are the same.
However, if one looks at the features of the iPhone 15 series, one can see that Apple has a digital compass, precision dual-frequency GPS, Wi-Fi cellular, and iBeacon micro-location. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) created the NavIC.
India has higher iPhone prices than other countries do. Once more, Apple has raised the price of its high-end Pro models in India from the iPhone 15 series. For instance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 1 TB of storage costs Rs 1,99,900, which is towards the top of the price range for smartphones.
The new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are more expensive than last year’s Pro versions by 5,000 and 20,000 rupees, respectively. Despite this, the corporation is still offering these Pro iPhones in countries like the US, Dubai, and Japan for significantly less money.
The base model of the iPhone 15 Pro Max costs Rs 159,900, although the same model can be purchased in the US for merely Rs 106,693 (US$ 1,286), which includes the California state tax of 7.25 percent. As a result, the price difference between the two countries is at least 30%, or over Rs 50,000.
The entry-level iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus, on the other hand, haven’t seen any price increases in India despite having a tonne of new features and significant hardware enhancements.US.
Unexpectedly, a “Action Button” has taken the place of the ring/silent switch. By using the new button, you may do a variety of customised actions, like launching accessibility features, opening the camera, turning on the torch, and more.
The Pros support both iOS 17’s new StandBy mode and the always-on display because they both boast Super Retina XDR screens with ProMotion.
The iPhone 15 Pro is powered by Apple’s brand-new A17 Pro processor. It has a 3-nanometer device with 19 billion transistors, 6 main cores, a 16-core neural engine, 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores.
The camera’s ability to record spatial video, which is intended to be seen on Apple’s forthcoming Vision Pro but won’t be available until later this year, is what matters most.
The import tax is one of the main causes of the pricing difference between the Pro and non-Pro iPhone models in India. While Apple makes its entry-level iPhones in India, the Pro versions are imported from China and are subject to an 18% government tax that is then passed on to the buyer.
