Despite the rumors of an “Ultra” model, the iPhone 15 Pro Max remains the most premium option in this year’s lineup. It now comes with a Titanium body, which not only makes it stronger than older stainless steel builds but also lighter. Adding to the build, the edges are a bit more curved, and Apple has replaced the iconic alert switch with the new programmable Action Button. The phone is IP68 dust and water-resistant and features Apple’s in-house Ceramic Shield glass. It protects the 6.7-inch Super Retia XDR display. While Apple has not bothered with the technical specs of the display, the bezels are a bit thinner.
Under the hood, the phone brings the all-new A17 Pro chip, which is built on the latest 3nm process. It is a six-core processor with two performance cores that are about 10% faster than their counterpart on the A16 Bionic. Likewise, the GPU has been improved by 20%. The A17 Pro also brings hardware-based ray tracing to the iPhone. With this, Apple has also announced that it is burning some console titles natively to its flagship.
Talking about the camera, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the first in the lineup to bring a 5x optical zoom. The 48MP primary camera can now shoot at 24MP. Likewise, it can switch between 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm focal lengths. Finally, the iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with a USB 3.0 Type-C port with up to 10 Gbps transfer speeds.

Unlike the Pro models, the frames on the iPhone 15 Plus are still made of aerospace-grade aluminum. The new contoured edge gives it a little edge over its predecessor. The display on the front measures 6.7 inches. It is a Super Retia XDR display with 2000 nits peak brightness. It also gets the Dynamic Island but still refreshes at 60Hz.
The camera setup includes a 48MP primary, which can now shoot at 24MP, and a 12MP ultrawide sensor. iPhone 15 Plus also gets Type-C port, but since it is powered by last year’s A16 Bionic chip, it is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

The iPhone 12 was a significant launch from Apple in 2020. This vanilla variant brought the flat frame design with a Ceramic front cover. It features a 6.1-inch OLED display, which Apple prefers to call a Super Retina XDR screen. The refresh rate stays at 60Hz static, like the entire iPhone 12 lineup.Getting to the optics, the iPhone 12 greets you with a dual camera setup: 12MP main and 12MP ultrawide cameras. Likewise, there is a 12MP selfie shooter placed alongside the 3D face scanner in the notch. Powering the core is Apple's A14 Bionic chipset with a 16-core Neural engine.

8. iPhone 11
Although the iPhone 11 is over four years old, Apple continues to offer it for sale globally, including in Nepal. This means that the iPhone 11 is now available at a much lower price, making it one of the most affordable iPhones currently on the market in Nepal.And although the name may not say so, it's the literal successor of the iPhone XR. The handset comes with a handful of upgrades over its predecessor, because of which it's still quite in demand in the market.The major upgrade here, from the iPhone XR, is in the cameras. Apple has included an additional lens on the back. That means the new iPhone 11 comes with a dual-camera setup. In addition to the 12MP primary shooter, you get another 12MP wide-angle camera. Even the selfie snapper has received an upgrade. You get a 12MP front camera here, which promises to capture amazing selfies.Apart from that, the iPhone 11 comes with IP68 dust and water resistance, a slightly bigger battery, and, more importantly, a powerful processor. However, Apple has included an HD display on the phone yet again, which is a bummer. Talking more about the display, it's a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina IPS panel. Besides that, it is powered by the latest Hexa-core Apple A13 Bionic chipset, which is the same chipset in the Pro & the Pro Max variant.

iPhones have always been a popular choice among Nepalese consumers due to their long-term reliability and top-shelf features. They continue to offer a premium user experience with their annual flagship launches, the latest being the iPhone 15 series. However, the price of the iPhone is quite expensive in Nepal, making them a status symbol for many. So, we hope that the company will introduce a more aggressive pricing strategy to attract even more smartphone enthusiasts in Nepal.Also Read: Apple Authorized Resellers & Service Center in Nepal
