Last September, Apple released its latest iPhone series featuring the most advanced iPhone 15 Pro Max. The device quickly turned the heads of smartphone enthusiasts with its upgraded camera system, A17 Pro chip, and titanium case.
Of course, a great phone comes with a great price tag. The iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at $1,199 for 256GB while the 512GB model costs $1,399 and the 1TB model comes in at $1,599.
Whether you are one of the people who bought the iPhone 15 Pro Max once it launched or someone who is eyeing to buy it some time, here are some tips to push the phone's peak performance:

Explore Camera System
iPhones have a reputation for creating good selfie shots, however, the iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with the most advanced lenses. It has a default 24MP super-high-resolution default main camera that can switch focal lengths from 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm.
In addition, Apple introduced a telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom at 120mm and 25x digital zoom. When it comes to videos, you won't have to worry about shaky footage since it comes in a tetraprism design with image stabilization and an autofocus 3D sensor.
Customize Shortcut for Action Button
One of the most highlight changes for the iPhone 15 series is the action button. Under the settings, you can assign an action to that specific button like opening the camera, flashlight, and more.
However, the most efficient way to use the action button is by using it as a shortcut mode. Instead of opening one app, the action button will toggle a mini folder that will show various actions that you can do with just a simple tap.
Take Advantage of Powerful USB-C Transition
The iPhone 15 series officially left its lightning cable era and fully transitioned to the USB-C port which is commonly used by other brands as well. The transition is more than about charging as it unlocked different usage.
For instance, you can share power and charge other Apple devices like your Apple Watch, AirPods, or another iPhone. In addition, you can also plug in external storage which allows you to shoot 4K videos and save them straight outside your device.
Discover Charging Optimization
Some people may not know it but charging your phone to 100% could potentially put more stress on the battery, leading to faster degradation. Apple introduced a solution by offering a charging option that will only fill the phone up to 80%.
Some reports are recommending that phones should only be charged around 80% and 85%, which are both ideal to prevent shortening the battery's lifespan.
Find Friends and Family Easily
If your inner circle all uses iPhones then this cool feature is perfect for you. All you have to do is tap on your iMessage and check the Location from the plus button. This will enable the shared location within the conversation.
If the other party decides to share their location when you are sharing yours, it will ask you to open the Find My app which will direct you exactly how to meet from your spot to their spot, even the turns are accurate.
