 iPhone 15 Features: What to Expect from the Next Apple Smartphone

1. DESIGN

Apple has officially announced the details of its latest iPhone 15 series, and we're pretty excited about what's to come. 

Apple has announced that the iPhone 15 (again) will be available in four models: Plus, Pro and Pro Max, each with different prices. The iPhone 15 pre-sale is scheduled to start on September 15 through Apple's website.

The base price of the standard iPhone 15 is $799, the iPhone 15 Plus is $899, and the iPhone 5 Pro is $999. Only the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a starting price of $1,199, which is higher than last year, but the storage capacity has been increased from the original 128GB to at least 256GB, bringing it on par with the 14 Pro Max.

• The iPhone 15 will be launched this September, and they have a lot of speculation about its features and capabilities. Lucky for you, we've collected them! From the all-new bionic chip to the periscope camera lens, here are the iPhone 15 features everyone is talking about.

  2. CAMERA

The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, on the other hand, will have a new Grade 5 titanium case, plus features like a customizable action button and a new full-screen standby mode activated when the phone is turned on its side. These models will have a brushed texture finish in four colors: black, white, blue and natural.

The Pro models also feature the new A17 Pro, a 3-nanometer chip, with a new 6-core CPU and 6-core Pro-class GPU that Apple says is up to 20 percent faster. The difference between the Pro and Pro Max will be more pronounced, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max having 5x optical zoom instead of 3x on the standard Pro. As expected, all iPhone 15 models have USB-C charging instead of Lightning.

The move from Lightning to USB-C is a big design change and is necessary due to new EU rules announced last fall that will require all phones sold after fall 2024 to use a USB-C connector for charging. It also makes sense, at least from a branding perspective, as the iPad, MacBook and most third-party accessories will move to USB-C for easier access.

There's a lot to say about the new iPhone 15 cameras, especially the ones on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and our team has a split opinion. Joe feels the iPhone 15 finally gives us a reason to choose the Pro Max. It's the amazing camera specs that tempt you from Samsung. Meanwhile, Beth, a photographer, won't buy an iPhone 15 unless she likes those mediocre megapixels.

I'll let you decide for yourself, but the key point from Apple's announcement is that the iPhone 15 Pro Max has more optical zoom than the standard iPhone 15 Pro, but none of the models have increased megapixels compared to last year's 14 Pro series and are equipped with the same 48 megapixels. have became. Camera. However, the camera has been updated with a larger four-pixel sensor and higher resolution with more focal length options like 24mm, 28mm and 35mm.

The biggest change with the iPhone 15's camera is that Apple has taken advantage of the phone's larger size to give the iPhone 15 Pro Max an upgraded 5x (120mm equivalent) 12MP optical zoom. Although this still doesn't match the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's 10x zoom, the f2.8 aperture is wider compared to the Galaxy's f4.5. There's also an option to customize the default lens, and the phone can now shoot 48MP HEIF as well as Apple Raw.

Honestly, aside from the excitement about the tetraprism (not periscope) method of reflecting light before reaching the sensor that Apple implemented in the Pro Max models, there aren't any significant changes in the camera department. Allows for more telephoto.

It looks like the iPhone 15 lineup will follow the same format as the iPhone 14. In 2022, Apple said, "bigger is better," and pulled the plug on the iPhone mini. This is what we can expect for a 2023 launch, with standard and pro models releasing in 6.1- and 6.7-inch screen sizes.

Which iPhone 15 model is the best?

It all depends on what you want from your smartphone, including the screen size you prefer, how many upgrades you expect from your current device, and how much budget you can afford or are willing to spend. has it.

For photographers and content creators, the Pro Max model is usually the choice because it has the best camera and features. However, this year's iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have nearly identical specs when it comes to camera arrays, so if you're on a tight budget, choosing the Pro model over the Pro Max might be a wise choice.
