The new iPhone 15 models include several notable improvements and changes.
What is the new iPhone 15 model
The iPhone 15 is a smartphone from Apple, introduced in 2023. Key features and specifications of the iPhone 15 include:
- Processor and performance. The iPhone 15 features the new A16 Bionic processor, which offers high performance and energy efficiency. This allows the device to process data quickly and handle resource-intensive apps and games.
- Display. The device has an OLED display with Super Retina XDR resolution. This provides vivid colours and high contrast, improving image quality and making viewing more comfortable for your eyes.
- Camera. The iPhone 15 features an improved camera system, including a multi-lens main camera with new features such as an improved night mode, portrait mode with bokeh effect and the ability to record video in 4K. The camera also supports machine learning technology to improve image quality.
- Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip: iPhone 15 features a new U2 chip for Ultra Wideband communication. This improves location accuracy and interoperability with other Apple devices such as AirTags and Apple Watch. UWB allows for more accurate device location, which is useful for features like “Find My” and AirDrop.
- Design and materials: the iPhone 15 has an updated design with more durable materials such as a ceramic shield to protect the screen and an aluminium body. The device’s design also includes thinner bezels and improved water and dust protection.
- Operating System: The device runs on iOS 17, which provides new features and improvements to the user interface, security and privacy, and integration with other Apple products, including Vision Pro.
These and other features make iPhone 15 one of the most advanced and feature-rich smartphones on the market.
Innovations in the new model
- Body and design:
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max get a body made of Grade 5 titanium, making them lighter and stronger than previous stainless steel models. This also allows for a higher capacity battery to be accommodated without weighing the phone down.
The displays on all models have thinner bezels, which increases screen area. Pro models support ProMotion technology with refresh rates up to 120 Hz, which provides a smoother picture.
- Performance:
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models run on last year’s A16 Bionic processor, while the Pro and Pro Max models feature the latest A17 Bionic chipset, manufactured using a 3nm process, which significantly improves performance and power efficiency.
- Cameras:
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus feature dual cameras with a 48 MP main module and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle module. They support 2x optical zoom and an improved portrait mode.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have a triple camera that includes a telephoto lens. The Pro Max has a telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom that uses a tetraprism to improve photo quality.
- Battery:
Battery capacity varies: the iPhone 15 has 3,877 mAh, the 15 Plus has 4,912 mAh, the 15 Pro has 4,123 mAh, and the 15 Pro Max has 5,213 mAh. All models support wired and wireless charging, as well as reverse charging for other devices.
- New features:
A new Action button has replaced the traditional sound switch and can be customised to different functions such as turning on the torch or camera.
Second generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology allows for more accurate location of other devices, such as compatible iPhones, in the vicinity.
Voice Isolation improves call quality by filtering out background noise, which is especially useful in noisy environments.
These innovations make iPhone 15 a powerful and convenient device that can meet the needs of the most demanding users.
