There are still several months left until the introduction of the new iPhone 15 (Pro) series. Apple presents the new phones together with the Apple Watch on the occasion of the September keynote. Although we will have to wait a little longer for the new iPhones, we already know what innovations they will actually come with. Only one thing emerges from the leaks and speculations available so far. This year, Apple is planning a number of interesting novelties that can please you very pleasantly. For example, the iPhone 15 Pro (Max) is expected to see the deployment of the new Apple A17 Bionic chipset with a 3nm production process, which could not only increase performance, but also bring significantly lower energy consumption.

Currently, in addition to this, another rather interesting leak has appeared. According to him, Apple is planning a completely new product for the top of the range in the form of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which will thus receive a display with significantly higher luminosity. It should reach up to 2500 nits, and the South Korean company Samsung will take care of its production. Due to these speculations, at the same time, questions arose as to whether we need such an improvement at all, and whether, on the contrary, it is not a point of use that will only drain the battery unnecessarily. Let's therefore focus together on whether a higher display is worth it and possibly why.

Is the higher brightness worth it?

So, as we mentioned above, let's focus on whether it is actually worth installing a display with a higher luminosity in the iPhone 15 Pro Max. First of all, however, it is necessary to look at the current models. iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which are equipped with a high-quality Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion technology, offer the highest brightness reaching 1000 nits during normal use, or up to 1600 nits when viewing HDR content. In outdoor conditions, i.e. in the sun, the brightness can reach up to 2000 nits. Compared to these data, the expected model can significantly improve and increase the maximum luminance by a full 500 nits, which can take care of a rather excellent difference. But now comes the crucial question. Some apple growers are quite skeptical about the latest leak and, on the contrary, are worried about it.

In reality, however, higher brightness can come in handy. Of course, we can easily do without it indoors. The situation is diametrically different when using the device in direct sunlight, when the display can be noticeably unreadable, precisely because of the slightly worse brightness. It is in this direction that the expected improvement can play a very fundamental role. However, it is not for nothing that they say that all that glitters is not gold. Paradoxically, such an improvement can bring with it problems in the form of overheating of the device and faster discharge of the battery. However, if we focus on other speculations and leaks, it's quite possible that Apple thought about this in advance. As we mentioned in the introduction, the device is to be equipped with the new Apple A17 Bionic chipset. It will probably be built on the 3nm production process and will improve mainly in terms of overall efficiency. Its economy could then play a key role in combination with a display with higher luminosity.
