Apple unveils iPhone 15 with “all new design”
The company unveiled the next-generation entry-level iPhone 15s, which does away with the notch in favor of an extended “Dynamic Island” utility that houses alerts, notifications, and other functions. Until recently, the iPhone 14 Pro was the only device with the function.
enhanced portraiture with richer color and improved low-light performance, 2x optimization, and enhanced image stabilization for taking shots and videos are all features of the iPhone 15 phones. Additionally, it has a 4K cinematic mode.
According to the manufacturer, the iPhone 15s includes the same A16 bionic processor as the iPhone 14 Pro, which has a neural engine for handling more difficult tasks including on-device live voicemail transcriptions.
The iPhone 15 incorporates an Ultra-Wideband processor, which enables it to connect with adjacent devices and run some iOS 17 features or identify people who share their position more easily in busy places.
The iPhone 15 is available in two sizes and five colors: white, black, pink, green, and yellow. The screen size of the iPhone 15 is 6.1 inches, while that of the iPhone 15 Plus is 6.7 inches.
Lightning port
Lightning ports are no longer present.
USB-C to Lightning adapter for $29
Following the release of Apple’s most recent iPhone lineup, a new accessory—a $29 USB-C to Lightning adapter—became available for purchase on the company’s website.
The dongle enables users to charge or transfer data from their Lightning accessories to an iPhone or iPad with a USB-C port.
The new accessory is released as Apple transitions its smartphones to the USB-C charger after an 11-year run with the Lightning connection and charger.
Major updates for photographers
The camera system in the iPhone 15 Pro receives a number of new improvements, including a more sophisticated 48 megapixel main camera with a bigger sensor than on the iPhone 15.
According to Apple, the camera also has a “nanoscale coating” that lowers lens flares and boosts the resolution of regular images. Additionally, it claims improved portrait and night mode low-light performance.
Additionally, the most recent iPhone can take high-resolution pictures with 24, 28, and 35-millimeter focal lengths.
Automatic portrait mode
For the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, Apple highlighted improvements to the cameras, including automated portrait mode that can recognize when there is a lone subject in a picture and smart HDR to better catch animals.
Super-high resolution photographs, an “action mode” for shots, and a 4K cinematic video mode are additional features of the phone camera.
Two new iCloud plans
As Apple unveiled two new iCloud plans in Cupertino, California, there was a thunderous round of applause from the audience.
iCloud+ will start offering 6TB and 12TB storage plans the following week.
Every member of a household may use iCloud+ to exchange images and automatically backup their iPhones thanks to family sharing.
USB-C charging
The business is adding USB-C charging to the iPhone, as was predicted.
Customers of Apple may now charge their iPhones, iPads, and Mac laptops using the same USB-C chargers. (No more scrambling to find the right charger for each gadget).
Lightning ports and chargers are now officially discontinued, exactly 11 years after their initial announcement.
According to Apple, a dedicated USB-C controller in the iPhone 15 Pro will enable up to 20 times quicker transfer rates than USB-2 technology.
iPhone 15 Pro line with titanium casing
Apple’s premium Pro series has suddenly become lighter and more durable.
The 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro and the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max were unveiled by the business, both of which now have titanium casings, the same metal alloy as the Mars Rover. Titanium comes in white, silver, blue, and black colors.
The ring/silent switch on the side of the iPhone has been modified for the Pro range. Users will be able to do customisable activities, including launching a camera or beginning an audio recording, by pushing and holding the button.
The 48 MP camera features four times the resolution of the previous model, a bigger sensor, and greater low-light performance for portrait and night modes. The iPhone 15 Pro additionally has a 3x telephoto camera for traditional portraiture, while the Pro Max’s rear-facing camera system has a telephoto lens that supports 5x optical magnification.
Users of the Pro line can now record spatial films, which tries to give photo clips a more immersive feeling. Later this year, this feature will be made available. The iPhones go on sale and begin shipping on September 22.
One small step toward ending cord clutter
Finally, Apple is abandoning its exclusive Lightning port in the iPhone 15 and switching to a charging cord that works with non-Apple devices. There will be one less cord on your nightstand now. The packing list for a weekend getaway will be one less item to forget.
Share location and find friends in a new way
Apple’s second-generation ultra wideband processor, included in the iPhone 15, enables the phone to connect to other devices up to three times farther away.
The chip has created a new way for Apple users to use the iPhone 15’s precise locating to locate their buddies.
“When you’re in a crowded place like a train station or a farmer’s market, and your friends share their location, you will be guided right to them with clear directions and distance. It’s built into ‘Find My,’ so it has all the same privacy protections that users have come to trust,” said Deniz Teoman, vice president of hardware systems engineering.
Action button, ditching the ring silencer for the first time since the iPhone debuted in 2007
The first modification to the ring silencer since the toggle switch arrived in the first iPhone in 2007 is the action button that Apple introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro.
The action button, which is now a pressable button, still mutes alerts by default, but it can now be configured to execute a wide range of instructions, such as recording a voice memo, snapping a picture, or turning on an accessibility feature like live speech.
The Dynamic Island bar at the top of the screen provides visual feedback for all action button instructions.
