The much-anticipated Apple iPhone 15 Series has finally been unveiled, much to the delight of tech enthusiasts. At its recent launch event on September 12, Apple showcased not just the latest iPhone models but also other cutting-edge products. Reports indicate Apple has crafted these iPhones with innovative specifications. Features like the new ‘action button’ and enhanced camera specs for the iPhone 15 Pro are particularly intriguing. Let’s delve into the standout changes in the 15 series as compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 14.
1. USB Type-C Transition
Apple’s iconic charging brick and Lightning port cable have been mainstays since 2012. However, in a move aligning with European Union guidelines, Apple has transitioned to USB-C. With the universal USB-C charger, charging your iPhone just became more convenient. This shift mirrors a broader trend, as many new mobiles are now adopting the Type-C port.
2. Introducing the Action Button
A noticeable addition to the iPhone 15 series is the Action Button. Traditionally, iPhones had a side mute or vibrate button alongside the volume controls. But for the iPhone 15 Pro, this has been swapped out for the versatile action button. This nifty feature enables swift access to the camera, flashlight, and focus settings. Even toggling between ringer modes is now at your fingertips. Plus, Apple offers customization options for this button, enhancing user experience.
3. Camera Enhancement
When it comes to camera prowess, the iPhone 15 doesn’t disappoint. Previous standard models boasted a 12MP main sensor, but the new iPhone 15 and 15 Plus come equipped with an impressive 48MP camera, marking a significant upgrade.
4. A16 Bionic Processor
Both the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are powered by the A16 bionic processor. Though not a new introduction, it was previously exclusive to Pro models. Now, the A17 processor is earmarked for the 15 series’ Pro variants. This promises a performance surge, making the base iPhone 15 models up to 7 times speedier than the iPhone 14 counterparts.
5. Frosted Glass Back Panel and More…
The elegant frosted glass back, once exclusive to Pro models, now graces the standard iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. It safeguards camera lenses from smudges and adds a touch of luxury. Moreover, features like the Dynamic Island, first seen in last year’s Pro models, now find a place in the base models, hinting at a standard for future iPhones. Additionally, the Pro models’ titanium design is not just a beauty to behold but also reduces phone weight, exuding a sleek appeal.
