Apple held its annual Wonderlust fall event today. As usual, the Cupertino-based tech giant has unveiled the next-generation iPhones, Watch Series, and more. The latest flagship iPhone 15 models pack significant upgrades over their predecessors and notably since the iPhone 11 which debuted way back in 2019. This time too, Apple has distinguished the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus from the Pro and Pro Max variants. Unlike the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus which were identical to their predecessors, the new non-pro iPhone 15’s come with new features and specifications. Read on to know more below.

iPhone 15, 15 Plus specifications

The only difference between the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus is in the display and battery department. Both retain the same boxy form factor with identical button placements as per previous iPhones. However, the square camera module is now slightly raised from the back panel.

Contrary to the previous generation iPhones, the latest non-pro iPhone 15’s feature a frosted glass back panel that was limited to the Pro models. On the front fascia, the phones come with Dynamic Island which was introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro variants last year. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have 6.1 and 6.7-inch Retina XDR OLED displays respectively with 2,000 nits peak brightness.

In terms of optics, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus feature upgraded primary cameras. It has a 48MP Sony sensor (compared to 12MP on iPhone 14) paired with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens with additional 2x telephoto option. The smartphones have a 12MP selfie snapper on the front. The latest offerings also pack a host of new camera features. Users won’t have to switch to portrait mode as machine learning will automatically add depth when a subject is detected.

Under the hood, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are equipped with Apple’s A16 Bionic processor which powers last year’s Pro models. This is a welcome upgrade in terms of performance since the iPhone 14 duo were powered by the same processor found on the iPhone 13. The latest offerings pack 6GB RAM and up to 512GB internal storage. Apple hasn’t revealed the exact battery capacities on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus but they are said to offer 26 and 20 hours of usage respectively.

Software-wise, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus ship with iOS 17 out of the box. They feature a USB-C port which is a shift from the age-old lightning port. The latest duo also come with a second-generation Ultrawide-band chip that improves Find My capabilities. The Emergency SOS via satellite feature also gets Roadside Assistance functionality.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are offered in Pink, Green, White, Black, Yellow, and Blue colors. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus start at the same price tag as their predecessors i.e. $799 and $899 respectively. Both phones will be available starting September 22.
