Introducing the iPhone 15, amid all the spotlight on the latest Pro models boasting titanium frames and enhanced telephoto cameras, there's something for those who prefer a more budget-friendly option. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus offer compelling upgrades, particularly if you're making the leap from an iPhone 12 or an earlier model. Let's delve into the top five standout features of Apple's freshest iPhone offerings.
USB-C Compatibility
The most significant change with the iPhone 15 is the shift from the proprietary Lightning port to the versatile USB-C. Over the past decade, iPhones have relied on the Lightning connection, but now, you can charge your iPad and Mac using the same cable. Apple even includes a USB-C charging cable in the box, so you probably won't need to purchase any additional accessories, unless, of course, you don't already own a USB-C charger.
A16 Chip Performance
The iPhone 15 inherits the same A16 chip that made its debut in the iPhone 14 Pro models last year. While you might not notice a significant boost in everyday speed, this chip brings forth several new features that could make a tangible difference. Notably, the A16 chip boasts an upgraded image signal processor, enhancing computational photography, and a Display Engine that smoothes out images and animations.
Enhanced Camera Capabilities
The iPhone 15 maintains a dual-camera setup, comprising a wide-angle and ultra-wide camera. However, Apple has amped up the primary camera's megapixels from 12 to 48, incorporating a quad-pixel sensor and 100 percent Focus Pixels for rapid autofocus. This upgrade results in photos being saved at 24MP by default, delivering remarkable image quality while maintaining practical file sizes for storage and sharing. Additionally, the iPhone 15 can capture 2X telephoto shots without the need for a dedicated telephoto lens. It also introduces "next-generation portraits," allowing you to adjust focus and the bokeh effect after taking a photo, even if you haven't switched to Portrait mode.
Dynamic Island Display
Debuting on the iPhone 14 Pro and now gracing the iPhone 15, Dynamic Island eliminates the notch, offering pop-ups and live activities at the top of your phone.
Reverse Wired Charging
Thanks to the iPhone 15's new USB-C port, you can now use a charging cable to replenish other Apple devices, including Apple Watch and 2nd-gen AirPods Pro, by simply plugging them into your phone.
Pricing and Availability
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus come in at starting prices of $799 and $899, respectively. They are available in a range of five colors: black, blue, green, yellow, and pink. Preorders will commence on Friday, with delivery slated to begin on Friday, September 22nd.
