Finally Apple launched the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus during its Wanderlust event on September 12. In order to meet with impending laws from the European Union, Apple announced last year that it would move to USB-C, and the iPhone 15 is now the first iPhone to do so.

The pricing of the iPhone 15 starts at $799 for a 128GB model, and the price of the iPhone 15 Plus is $899 for a 128GB model. Preorders for both will begin this Friday, and both will be accessible on September 22.

The Dynamic Island will be included with every model of the iPhone 15 as well. That pill-shaped notch, which offers a novel method to view some notifications and interact with apps, initially appeared on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. The OLED Super Retina display of the iPhone 15 is also 1,600 nits amazing and supports Dolby Vision content. In direct sunshine, this display’s highest brightness is 2,000 nits, so it’s twice as bright as the iPhone 14

The Super Retina XDR display on the iPhone 15 measures 6.1 inches, while the one on the iPhone 15 Plus is larger at 6.7 inches. Pink, yellow, green, blue, and black are the five color possibilities for both phones. For both phones, the maximum HDR brightness is now 1600 nits. 

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus both have A16 Bionic Chip set. The 4nm process node is used to create the Apple A16 Bionic chip, which was introduced last year in 2022. With two performance cores and four high-efficiency cores combined, it has a 6-core CPU. The 6-GB LPDDR5 memory used by the A16 Bionic’s 5-core GPU has 50% more bandwidth than the Bionic chip from the previous generation.

This time, a 48-megapixel primary camera sensor is included in both phones. Recall that the twin 12-megapixel cameras of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus had been upgraded. In light of this, the camera of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus has significantly improved. Users will also receive a new 2x Telephoto option in addition to this. Additionally, according to Apple, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will capture better portraits and have improved night photography. Users will now have the option of changing a portrait’s focus point after the picture has been taken.

The tech giant claimed at the presentation that the battery life on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus is “all day. The eagerly awaited USB-Type C charging port is also there. As a result, you may now charge your iPhone using a USB Type C charging cord. In addition, consumers will be able to use a USB Type C port on their iPhone to charge their AirPods or Apple Watch directly.
