iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus: Everything that you need to know

'iPhone 15 has an all-new design that's simply gorgeous' as quoted by Kaiann from Apple in the launch event of Apple that was held on 12th September 2023. The Dynamic Island that was in the iPhone Pro in the past series is not in the base variant of the iPhone 15, the catch of Dynamic Island is that it fluidly expands and adapts to the alerts and live activities, creating a magic-like experience. Some of the normal features like which is the next song in the playlist or checking out that left turn in the next 1km on the map. The highlight here is that if you're catching a flight, you can see which gate your flight is leaving from and how long until the boarding time. This time Apple has used a Super Retina XDR display, which uses OLED technology that provides a great viewing experience, with thinner borders than last time iPhone 14, rich and vivid colours and support for Dolby Vision. The Peak HDR brightness can now reach up to 1600 nits, making the HDR photos and videos look greater than ever. Outside in the sun, the peak brightness can now go up to 2000 nits, which is twice as bright as it is in iPhone 14. The size of the iPhone 15 is 6.1 inches and the iPhone 15 Plus is of 6.7 inches. The sides of the iPhone have been curved which will give you a better grip in your hand. iPhone will be available in 5 stunning colours: Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Black.

The camera system of the iPhone 15 has been upgraded to a 48MP Main camera with f/1.6 aperture and sensor-shift optical image stabilization that captures crisp photos and videos which is obtained by using computational photography that takes the Main camera sensor to another level. The end result is a 24MP photo with incredible image quality that perfectly balances light and detail with a tiny file size. The 2x Telephoto option for capturing photos and 4K video with optical quality is now possible with the new sensor in the middle of 12MP, making the iPhone look like it has 3 cameras. Using machine learning, the iPhone 15 can now detect when there's a person in the frame and capture rich depth information automatically, which can be later edited in the Photos app.

iPhone 15 has been packed with the incredible A16 Bionic chip which has proven its capability in iPhone 14 Pro. It has a 16-core Neural Engine that can handle computational photography, the 5-core GPU has 50% more memory bandwidth than the old A15 Bionic, which is even better for graphics-intensive games and the 6-core CPU has two high-performance cores, which are faster and use 20% less power than A15 Bionic. The four high-efficiency cores can handle most of the daily tasks. Ultra Wideband has been improved in iPhone 15 which enables it to connect to the same chip three times farther away and with precision finding you can now find your friends in a crowd easily.

The iPhone 15 has a new feature by the name of Voice Isolation that can clear out all the background noise and all that is left is your crystal clear audio. Emergency SOS and Find My via satellite have been expanded to 14 more countries on three different continents. Roadside Assistance via satellite has also been introduced which connects you to a satellite and shares that information with a roadside assistance provider. Then the side assistance company will message you directly and dispatch help to your exact location. This feature is launched in partnership with AAA. All the satellite features are free for two years with iPhone 15 and after that maybe they will be on a subscription basis.

iPhone 15 has also introduced USB-C which enables charging, transferring data, and playing audio and video. With this change, only one cable is enough to charge Mac, iPad, iPhone, and even AirPods Pro 2nd Generation.iPhone 15 has MagSafe, which uses magnets with 100% recycled rare earth elements.

To conclude the technical look that we had at the iPhone 15, here are the summarized points -

1. A 48MP camera that provides a 2x Telephoto
2. Dynamic Island
3. A new A16 Bionic chip
4. Emergency and Roadside Assistance even when you're off the grid
5. Color-Infused designs
