Apple has launched the much-anticipated iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, but for those hoping for a radical redesign, you will be disappointed. Continuing the previous iPhone 14 trend, the iPhone 15 models retain the same overall design. One noticeable change, however, is the inclusion of the Dynamic Island, first seen on the iPhone 14 Pro. This unique pill-shaped cutout enhances the notification and App interaction experience.
Welcome Type C
Apple iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have brought about a noteworthy change – the adoption of a USB-C port. This departure from Apple’s previous Proprietary Lightning connector had been highly anticipated by tech enthusiasts and users alike.
The transition to USB-C comes in response to the European Union’s impending regulations, which Apple confirmed its commitment to comply with. As a result, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus became the first iPhone model to embrace this widely recognized and versatile USB-C standard

The iPhone 15 lineup maintains the 6.1-inch display size and offers a range of vibrant colour options, including pink, yellow, green, blue, and black variants.
Display and Brightness
All models of the iPhone 15 feature the Dynamic Island and boast an OLED Super Retina display. Apple iPhone 15 features a 6.1-inch display, while the 15 Plus has a larger 6.7-inch display. With support for Dolby Vision content and 1,600 nits of brightness, this display ensures a visually stunning experience. Moreover, the peak brightness in direct sunlight reaches 2,000 nits, doubling that of the iPhone 14.
Camera Upgrades
The camera system is one of the most significant improvements in the iPhone 15 lineup. The primary camera sensor has been upgraded to a 48-megapixel one, a significant leap from the 12-megapixel sensor found in the previous iPhone 14. Additionally, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens has been included, and enhancements to Portrait mode eliminate the need for manual switching. The iPhone 15 also promises improvements in night mode, Live Photos, and action mode.
Performance and Battery Life Boost
Under the hood, the iPhone 15 models are powered by the A16 chip, the same Processor found in the previous year’s iPhone 14 Pro models. Apple is confident in delivering “all-day battery life” with the iPhone 15.
