2023 Tech News & Power Tips:  Hacking the latest Apple iPhone 15 

1st December, 2023:  Auckland, New Zealand

The iPhone 15 initially won me over with its sleek matte design; convenient USB-C charging; easier multitasking thanks to the Dynamic Island; and much improved camera.

What is the best new thing about the iPhone 15?
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is now the top-rated smartphone in our rankings, in part because its camera scores higher than last year's 14 Pro Max. While the camera in last year's Pro Max tops out at 3x optical zoom, the new phone can zoom optically up to 5x.

These are the cooling things you can do with your new Apple iPhone 15:
Set up the new action button. The action button is one of the biggest changes to the iPhone hardware in a long time, replacing the ring/silent switch that's been around since the very first iPhone model. ...
Change the default camera lens when you open your camera. ...
Take advantage of the iPhone 15 Pro's USB-C 3.0 speeds.

The secret mode on iPhone. . . .
Open the Safari app on your iPhone. Swipe right on the tab bar at the bottom of the screen until Private Browsing opens, then tap Unlock. , then swipe left to open a Tab Group from the menu at the bottom of your screen. The websites you have open in Private Browsing stay open, and Private Browsing locks.

Use and customize the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro and ...
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have an Action button in place of the Ring/Silent switch. You can choose which function you want the Action button to perform when you press it. Because the button is so accessible, it's useful for actions you perform often. (The location of the Action button is shown below.)

How to take good pictures with your iPhone 15?
Adjust Camera Settings
To make the most of the new Photonic Engine, go into Settings > Camera > Formats to switch on Apple ProRes and 48 megapixels settings. This allows you to capture large image sizes with four optical zoom levels and a larger image sensor.

What does the new iOS 17 update do?
This update introduces the ability for AirDrop transfers to continue over the internet when you step out of AirDrop range. This release also includes enhancements to StandBy and Apple Music, as well as other features, bug fixes, and security updates for your iPhone.

The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have been out for a couple of months. By now, you've probably gotten familiar with some of the new features available on the phone, like StandBy Mode, which turns your phone into a smart display, and NameDrop, which you can use to share your contact information simply by placing your phone near someone else's phone.

However, if you haven't had time to explore the features that are exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, you're going to want to. While there aren't many exclusive features, we've gone ahead and highlighted three that you'll definitely want to set up, configure and put to use. If you're looking to get the most out of your new iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max, here's what you need to know.

How to set up the new Action Button of Apple iPhone 15:
1. Set up the new action button
The action button is one of the biggest changes to the iPhone hardware in a long time, replacing the ring/silent switch that's been around since the very first iPhone model. Instead of just toggling between ring and switch mode, the action can be customized to do things like turn on your flashlight, record a voice memo and run a shortcut.
In Settings > Action Button, swipe through the various actions you want the action button to perform when pressed. These are actions you have available:

Silent Mode (default): Switch between silent and ring mode.
Focus: Turn on your main Focus mode, like Do Not Disturb.
Flashlight: Turn on your rear flashlight.
Voice Memo: Record an audio note.
Magnifier: Use your camera as a magnifying glass.
Shortcut: Trigger a shortcut you've downloaded or created.
Accessibility: Use an accessibility feature of your choosing.
No action

If you see arrows below an action, that means there are additional options. To assign an action to the button, simply swipe and stay on the action in your settings. When you're finished, exit the setting's page.

2. Change the default camera lens when you open your camera
The default main camera on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max is the 24mm lens, which is equivalent to 1x zoom. It's your standard lens, but if you always find yourself zooming in a tiny bit when you're snapping a photograph, you can change over to a different default lens for the main camera.

In Settings > Camera > Main Camera, choose between the three main lenses:

24mm - 1x (default)
28mm - 1.2x
35mm - 1.5x
The next time you open your main camera, your camera will start at whatever new focal length you choose, whether it's 1.2x or 1.5x. If you want to swap between lenses, tap the main camera zoom control to manually switch between 24mm, 28mm and 35mm. You can also press and hold down on the control and drag the slider for more precise control.

3. Take advantage of the iPhone 15 Pro's USB-C 3.0 speeds
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus both have a USB-C port, but the two models support the same USB 2.0 speeds as prior iPhone models with a Lightning port, which is 480 megabits per second. The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max on the other hand also have USB-C ports, but they support USB 3.0 speeds, which is 10 gigabits per second -- making it 20 times faster.

So what does this all mean for you? First, you'll need a USB-C cable that supports 3.0 speeds. The USB-C cable that comes with your iPhone only supports 2.0 speeds, so you'll need to buy an additional cable
Now that you have the correct cable, you can quickly transfer data between your iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. If you're transferring data from iTunes to your iPhone, and vice versa, that should be quicker. But it works for really any files being transferred out of your iPhone, especially to a flash drive. That'll also be faster.

Apple highlighted that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can support recording ProRes video (high-quality lossy video compression format) directly to an external storage device, at up to 4K at 60 frames per second. It's a niche feature, but if you're a cinematographer or a video editor, shooting in ProRes gives you better detail and color depth you can color grade later on without losing quality. Having it directly recorded to an external storage device saves space and time, allowing you to connect the SD directly to your computer without having to transfer it from your iPhone first.
