Background

The iPhone 15 Pro was announced on September 12th, 2023, and released the week after, alongside the rest of the iPhone 15 lineup. It has the same Always-On ProMotion OLED as its 2022 predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro, but has a new A17 Pro SoC—the first time Apple's used the "Pro" naming for iPhone chips. New for 2023, both the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max come in titanium instead of stainless steel (specifically a Grade 5 alloy), sport USB-C ports as opposed to Lightning, and feature a new programmable Action Button in place of the ring/silent switch that Apple's used since the first iPhone.

The 15 Pro also features a camera system with a 48 MP Main camera, an Ultra Wide camera, and a 3x Telephoto camera. The iPhone Pro-line’s Dynamic Island, which has now been adopted by the vanilla iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, hides the top sensors and FaceTime camera in the display with a reactive black pill-shaped area.

The iPhone 15 Pro is priced at $999 for a 128 GB model, available in one of four finishes: Black Titanium, White Titanium, Blue Titanium, or Natural Titanium.

Identification

You can identify the iPhone 15 Pro by the one of the following model numbers printed on the inside back of the USB-C (charge) port. Flip the iPhone over (with the screen facing away from you) to see it.

  • A2848 (United States, Puerto Rico)
  • A3101 (Canada, Guam, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and U.S. Virgin Islands)
  • A3104 (China mainland, Hong Kong, Macao)
  • A3102 (other countries and regions)

You can also find the model number through the phone's UI by going to the Settings app and navigating to General > About. Tap on the number listed in the Model Number section and it should change to a format that looks like the numbers above.

Additionally, Apple offers a quick online tool to help identify your devices: Identify your iPhone model.

The iPhone 15 Pro features a 6.1-inch (diagonal) flat glass screen, thin black bezels, a pill-shaped, black "dynamic island" at the top of the screen, matte back glass, and titanium side rails.

Volume controls and the new "Action Button" can be found on the left edge while the power button is situated on the right. A square camera "bump" containing three cameras protrudes from the back case. This model has no home button.

The iPhone 15 Pro can be differentiated from the iPhone 15 Pro Max by its smaller 6.1-inch screen (relative to the 6.7-inch screen on the Pro Max model).

The iPhone 15 Pro can be differentiated from the previous generation iPhone 14 Pro by its titanium design, USB-C port, and side Action Button.
