In the Apple September event, Apple finally unveiled the iPhone 15, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, the iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Even though the design is similar to its predecessor iPhone 14, the iPhone 15 is the newest sibling, coming with several major upgrades. In addition to these upgraded features, the device includes better processing power, a rear camera, and more. Plus, Apple announced that the Apple iPhone 15 will be released on 22 September 2023, and pre-booking will start on Friday, 15 September 2023. However, you can pre-book the device at 5:00 am from Apple’s official website. Now, let us focus on the cost and the latest features for all iPhone 15 models.
1. Designs
There are two sizes: 6.1-inch iPhone 15 and 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus. Further, you will find the 6.1 iPhone 15 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max. The pro model comes with the best tech quality, and of course, you need to pay extra money. Sadly, the iPhone mini will not be in use, and the iPhone 13 will be discontinued.
Coming to its beautiful designs, the iPhone 15 looks quite similar to its previous generation’s iPhone, but it will be different when you actually hold it because the rounded edge on its back and front makes it smooth from all angles. However, the glass got a matte finish due to the applied color.
Speaking of its color, there are five colors that are available. They are black, yellow, green, blue, and pink. Moreover, those who are interested in Apple’s eco credentials should know that the iPhone 15 comes with a 100% recycled cobalt battery, and there will be 75% recycled aluminum in its frame.
2. Display and Dynamic Island
Now Dynamic Island is available on all iPhone models, giving users extra display features such as you will get a few extra display pixels. Moreover, using the adaptive widget will always be fun for you. You will get a boost in HDR brightness with up to 1600 nits, plus 200 nits to make visibility clear in direct sunlight.
3. Type C USB
This is the largest change included in the iPhone 15. Be it charging your phone or file sharing, and you can do them now with an easy-to-available C-type USB cable.
Also, you will notice the slight difference between the USB-C for the standard iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro. The difference is that you can transfer the data in iPhone 15 Pro at a higher speed. In addition, you can easily charge your accessories like AirPods and Apple Watch with this new USB-C.
4. Camera
Apple has given 48 MP as the main camera in its iPhone 15 models, except the Pros. There will be a 48 MP sensor on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. Earlier, there was only 102 MP resolution available with 1x magnification, but with the new 24 MP mode, you can prioritize the details. However, the 2x lossless zoom mode will allow you to have a telephoto camera, just like the iPhone 15 Pro model has.
Besides, you will not find any changes to the selfie or ultrawide cameras, but you will find slight changes at the level of software. For example, it will make your shooting better with its improved HDR and accurate skin color. On top of that, the portrait mode has become smarter as it can automatically detect the subject and let you adjust its focus and depth when you take the shot.
5. Performance
The iPhone 15 has adopted the same chipset that you got in last year’s Pro model’s chipset (A16 Bionic Chipset). It enhances the performance across CPU, GPU, and machine learning benchmarks. Apple also promised the all-day battery life for all iPhone 15 series. However, you may notice little variations from model to model. Plus, there will be no change in charging speeds but in charging ports. So, don’t expect superfast charging speed in any of the new iPhones.
Regarding the storage, there will be no upgrades, meaning you will get 128GB storage as you get in previous years. Apple is offering 128 GB storage by default on 15 or 15 plus. And you can also spend more to get more GB, like up to 256 GB and 512 GB.
