This last spot on our best phones for AT&T list, we have the iPhone 15 Pro. Now it is mostly the same as the iPhone 14 Pro, but there are some nice changes here. It does still sport the same 6.1-inch display, with the A17 Pro processor. RAM has been bumped up to 6GB. And it does still come in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB of storage.

The cameras have been upgraded, slightly from the iPhone 14 Pro last year. There’s still a 48-megapixel main sensor, along with 12-megapixel sensors for ultrawide and telephoto here. But now the phone is made of titanium, which makes it a lot lighter, and a really good look, especially in natural titanium.
