Apple enthusiasts, mark your calendars! Cupertino’s tech giant, Apple, has once again left us in awe with its annual fall event. As expected, this year’s showcase included the highly anticipated next-generation iPhones, the Watch Series, and more. What’s truly thrilling is the substantial leap forward in innovation, especially when compared to the iPhone 11, which made its debut back in 2019.
In a departure from previous iterations, Apple has made distinct differentiations between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus and their Pro counterparts. While the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus were virtually identical to their predecessors, the new non-Pro iPhone 15 models boast fresh features and specifications that are sure to captivate Apple aficionados.
Distinguishing Features
The primary distinction between the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus lies in their display and battery departments. Both models retain Apple’s iconic boxy form factor and familiar button placements, but there’s a subtle change the square camera module now sits slightly raised from the back panel.
In a delightful twist, the latest non-Pro iPhones sport frosted glass back panels, previously exclusive to the Pro line. On the front, they introduce the Dynamic Island, a feature first seen on last year’s iPhone 14 Pro variants. Display-wise, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus flaunt 6.1 and 6.7-inch Retina XDR OLED screens, respectively, with a dazzling peak brightness of 2,000 nits.
Camera Upgrades
Photography enthusiasts take note! The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus come equipped with upgraded primary cameras featuring a 48MP Sony sensor—a significant leap from the 12MP counterpart on the iPhone 14. Accompanying this sensor is a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, complete with an additional 2x telephoto option. On the front, you’ll find a 12MP selfie camera. What’s even more exciting is the addition of machine learning that automatically adds depth when it detects a subject, eliminating the need to manually switch to portrait mode.
Performance Boost
Under the hood, these new iPhones are powered by Apple’s A16 Bionic processor, which previously graced last year’s Pro models. This marks a substantial upgrade in terms of performance, considering that the iPhone 14 duo shared the same processor as the iPhone 13. Accompanying this powerhouse chip, the devices pack 6GB of RAM and offer storage options of up to a whopping 512GB.
Battery and Software
Apple hasn’t revealed the exact battery capacities, but they promise impressive usage times of 26 hours for the iPhone 15 and 20 hours for the 15 Plus. The software experience is enhanced with iOS 17 right out of the box, offering a seamless and cutting-edge user interface. Apple has also made a significant shift, introducing a USB-C port in place of the familiar lightning port.
Extra Features
Adding to the excitement, these iPhones come with a second-generation Ultrawide-band chip, improving Find My capabilities. Notably, the Emergency SOS via satellite feature now boasts Roadside Assistance functionality.
Colorful Choices
For those who love personalization, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus come in a vibrant array of colors, including Pink, Green, White, Black, Yellow, and Blue.
