This one got a periscope. Apple folded the light path inside the body with a tetraprism design, which bought a 120mm lens at 5x optical zoom where the 15 Pro stopped at 77mm and 3x. It is the sharpest Pro split in years. Titanium brought the weight down to 221 grams from the 14 Pro Max's 240, which is the most noticeable thing about picking one up. USB 3 at 10 Gb/s, the A17 Pro, the Action button and a 4441 mAh battery running 29 hours of video complete it. At $1,199 it was the most expensive iPhone in the line and the best-selling Pro that year.
Shared its review with the 15 Pro; the tetraprism 5x telephoto was exclusive to the Max.
