Apple has finally revealed its latest flagship smartphone, the iPhone 15, at its September 12 event. The new device boasts several features that make it stand out from the previous generation, as well as from the competition.
One of the most notable changes is the switch from Lightning to USB-C as the charging and data port. This means that iPhone users can now use the same cable for their MacBook, iPad and other accessories, as well as enjoy faster charging and data transfer speeds. Apple said that the move to USB-C was motivated by environmental and consumer benefits, as it reduces electronic waste and saves money for users¹.
Another major upgrade is the camera system, especially on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which is rumored to be rebranded as the iPhone 15 Ultra. The device features a periscope-style telephoto lens that can achieve up to 6x optical zoom, surpassing the 3x zoom of the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the 2x zoom of the iPhone 15 Pro. The periscope lens uses a prism to bend light and extend the focal length, allowing for clearer and more detailed shots from far distances.
The iPhone 15 also introduces a new processor, the A17 Bionic, which powers the Pro models. The chip is said to offer significant improvements in performance, speed and efficiency, as well as support advanced features and technologies such as machine learning, augmented reality and 5G. The standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models run on the A16 Bionic chip, which is still faster and more powerful than most of its rivals.
Other features that make the iPhone 15 exceptional include a Dynamic Island cutout instead of a notch for all models, which allows for more screen space and a sleeker design; a main 48MP camera for all models, which delivers stunning photos and videos with enhanced clarity and color accuracy; larger batteries for all models, which provide longer battery life and support wireless charging; and a titanium frame for the Pro models, which makes them stronger and lighter than ever before.
The iPhone 15 series is expected to be available for pre-order on September 19 and to ship on September 26. The prices are $799 for the iPhone 15, $899 for the iPhone 15 Plus, $999 for the iPhone 15 Pro and $1,199 for the iPhone 15 Ultra. The colors are Black, White, Yellow and Blue for all models, with an additional Orange/Coral Pink option for the standard models.
