As you'll see in our iPhone 15 Pro Max review, it's a very powerful flagship phone that delivers several upgrade-worthy features, including a lighter and more compact titanium design, a bigger 5x tetraprism zoom and a useful Action button you can customize.

We also like the fast The A17 Pro chip, which enables console-quality graphics in games. The best part? The battery lasted an epic 14 hours in the Tom's Guide battery test. We just wish the USB-C charging was faster.
