The Apple event unveiled the new iPhone 15 lineup which comes with big upgrades for every single model. While the standard models are getting a 48MP camera and the Dynamic Island, the Pro models are getting a titanium frame, an Action button, and the A17 Pro chipset. This makes the iPhone 15 series quite lucrative, no matter which model you prefer.
