Apple iPhone 15 Pro

The first titanium iPhone, which with its 120 Hz ProMotion display and customizable action button still ranks among the technological elite in 2026. While the A17 Pro chip enables console gaming, the battery life is noticeably shorter compared to the larger Pro Max model. Those seeking maximum performance and professional camera features in a compact, lightweight case will find this to be the most attractive used Pro model available.

Classification and Target Audience

The iPhone 15 Pro is the tool for enthusiasts looking for a handy powerhouse. Thanks to the titanium frame, it is significantly lighter and more comfortable to hold than the heavy iPhone 14 Pro. It directly competes with the Google Pixel 10 Pro, with Apple still leading in video raw performance.

Display and Case

The 6.1-inch display offers buttery smooth operation thanks to ProMotion (1–120 Hz), which is lacking in the standard models. The narrow display bezels make the device look extremely modern. The USB-C port supports fast data transfer rates (USB 3), which is essential for offloading large video files.

Performance and Hardware

The A17 Pro chip was the first of its kind and can handle 2026 titles like Resident Evil or Assassin's Creed natively. The 8 GB of RAM ensures a smooth experience with all the new AI features. The only downside: the device becomes noticeably warm under continuous load.

Video and Camera System

The 48 MP main camera allows switching between different focal lengths (24mm, 28mm, 35mm). Videos can be recorded in ProRes directly to external drives – a gold standard for mobile filmmakers. However, compared to the S25 Ultra, the extreme 10x zoom is missing, as the 15 Pro stops at 3x optical zoom.

Software and Support

Designed as the first model for "Apple Intelligence," the 15 Pro offers the full functionality of Apple AI even in 2026. Updates are guaranteed until around 2030.

Conclusion and Price-Performance Ratio

At around €650 to €700 on the used market, the 15 Pro is the "sweet spot" for demanding users. It offers almost all the features of the 16 series at a significantly more attractive price and is the recommendation for anyone wanting "Pro" at a reasonable price.
