Body and Design
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max-Black-Titanium features a strong and lightweight titanium design — a first for iPhone. This premium alloy —used in spacecraft — has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metal, making this Apple’s lightest Pro lineup ever. The model features a new refined brush texture, contoured edges, and the thinnest borders on the iPhone. The Pro lineup is built to last, combining the strength of titanium with the toughest back glass in a smartphone and the industry-leading Ceramic Shield on the front.
Using an industry-first thermo-mechanical process, the titanium bands encase a new substructure made from 100% recycled aluminum, bonding these two metals with incredible strength through solid-state diffusion.
Display
The premium handset features:
- A Super Retina XDR display
- 6.7‑inches (diagonal) all-screen OLED display
- 2796‑by‑1290-pixel resolution at 460 ppi
The iPhone 15 Pro Max-Black-Titanium display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 6.69 inches diagonally (the actual viewable area is less).
The high 120Hz refresh rate, 1290 x 2796 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~460 ppi density) resolution, and 1000 nits (typ), 2000 nits (HBM) brightness on LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display is unrivaled in the mobile industry, providing you with incomparable, immersive experience once you turn it on. Equally, Apple has gone a long way to invest substantially in their premium handset’s impressive display, providing Ceramic Shield Glass, always on display protector for the precious screen. Thus, it would be best if you were less anxious against splashes, dust, scratches, and accidental falls of pressure on the display as you do your business.

Phone Performance
Operating System
Apple iPhone Pro Max runs on iOS 17. This makes the iPhone even more personal and intuitive with new features:
Phone App
The Phone app gets significant updates, with Contact Posters that allow you to customize how they appear to their contacts and Live Voicemail, which leverages the power of A17 Pro to see real-time on-device transcription as someone leaves a voicemail. You can even pick up the call while the caller leaves a message.
Messages
Messages get a new stickers experience, more powerful search, transcription of audio messages, and Check-In, which allows you to automatically notify friends and family when they have made it to their destination safely.
NameDrop
NameDrop allows you to use AirDrop to share contact information more efficiently by bringing two iPhone devices together. The same gesture can be used to AirDrop content and more, and now you can step away from each other and finish sending large files over the internet.
Standby
StandBy gives you a customizable full-screen experience with glanceable information designed to be viewed from a distance when the iPhone is on its side and charging. With the Always-On display of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, StandBy shows useful information — perfect on a desk, nightstand, or kitchen counter.
Interactive Widgets
Interactive widgets on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and in StandBy allow you to take action with just a tap, making it easy to complete a to-do, play, or pause a song right from the widget.
Safari
Safari adds excellent protection for Private Browsing and introduces profiles, helping you separate your browsing for topics like work and personal.
Journal

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) forms part of the iPhone’s memory technology and is instrumental in faster data transfer, improving efficiency in stored data management.
All Action Button
The all-new Action button replaces the single-function switch used to toggle between ring and silent, offering additional options so you can choose between quickly accessing the camera or flashlight, activating Voice Memos, Focus modes, Translate, and accessibility features like Magnifier, or using Shortcuts for more options. A press-and-hold gesture with fine-tuned haptic feedback and visual cues in Dynamic Island ensures the new button launches the intended action.
