Apple Announces iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus With USB-C Port, Dynamic Island, and More

[MacRumors]

Apple today at its "Wonderlust" event announced the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. As expected, both devices are equipped with a USB-C port instead of Lightning, and have the Dynamic Island that debuted on the iPhone 14 Pro models last year.

iPhone 15 has a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 15 Plus has a 6.7-inch display. Both devices now feature a frosted rear glass panel with a matte finish and countered edges, an upgraded 48-megapixel main camera lens with a new 2x Telephoto option, the A16 Bionic chip, and a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip with up to three times the range. New color options include Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Black.

For the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus displays, peak HDR brightness now reaches up to 1,600 nits, up from 1,200 nits on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. Outdoors, peak brightness can reach up to 2,000 nits.

Apple shared an overview of new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus features:

All of the new iPhone 15 models are available to order starting Friday, September 15, and will launch on Friday, September 22 in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, Apple said. Pricing starts at $799 for the iPhone 15 and at $899 for the iPhone 15 Plus in the U.S., with the devices available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage capacities.

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus availability will expand to Macao, Malaysia, Türkiye, Vietnam, and 17 other countries and regions beginning Friday, September 29, according to Apple.

Does this mean 48mp full quality will work without using proraw because now we only get 48mp on the pro with proraw

 

[_Spinn_]

Seems like a decent upgrade.

Apple are such clowns. No white or starlight option? How dumb.

 

[underkuerbis]

They didn’t only recycle the raw materials, but also the features from the 14 Pro 😉

 

[kp98077]

dont like the colors! Excet the gray/black.. why no white??!

 

[eicca]

Predictably underwhelming.

If they didn't pitch it with so much hype it wouldn't feel so pretentious.

Don't clowns have a white face? So they're not clowns then 🤡

USB-C intro is last on the list I take it.

So the poor people 15 gets more camera features than my 14 pro max with same chip and camera. Wow. New Strategie

 

[poematik13]

Gatekeeping 120hz behind the pro models as usual

 

[kiensoy]

Thanks EU for making Apple cave. USB-C is the way.

USB-C on iPhone is the worst thing Apple has done since butterfly switch keyboards. Terrible.

 

[sunapple]

The camera update seems really nice, I miss my telephoto lens a lot.

 

[addamas]

And MagSafe… which was present since iPhone 12 but is sold as a lead feature 😂

 

[tomtad]

2x zoom is the best feature of this

 

[streetskooler]

Same camera and A16 bionic chip as iPhone 14? I know a lot plenty of people who held out for this because of USB-C, but dang that’s underwhelming.

 

[groove-agent]

It's interesting that the colours are all Easter pastels. The collection looks like an Easter egg basket.

 

[thegerman]

No 120Hz 🥱

 

[maerz001]

I think its the best feature of the 15

 

[kp98077]

Not gonna lie, the plus in gray looks sexy!

You just made an account specially to post unfounded hate comments? Interesting.

 

[echopulse]

The one they called blue looked pretty white to me.

 

[MyPhone99]

60hz and those color options seems like apple want us to buy the pros
