At its September 12 “Wonderlust” event, Apple announced the availability of four new iPhones.
These are the iPhone 15, the iPhone 15 Plus, the iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
If you want to know when the new phones will come out, how much they will cost, their features, how their designs have changed, and more, this piece has it all.

Compared to their predecessors, all four iPhone 15 phones have some style changes but are small.
For example, they now have a slight curve at the rear edge, making them more comfortable to hold.
The “industry-first colored back glass with a stunning textured matte finish” on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus is great. They also have a dynamic island that was only on the Pro.
Here’s what the iPhone 15 looks like:
As you can see, the iPhone 15 comes in black, blue, green, yellow, and pink.
The 6.1- and 6.7-inch displays of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are impressive.
And they have Dynamic Island, a new way to interact with important alerts and real-time action.
Both models feature a durable and sophisticated new look. For the first time in a smartphone, color is infused through the back glass, making five beautiful colors.
The iPhone is more durable than any other smartphone on the market, with features that make it immune to water and dust. It also holds its value better over time. Plus, the internal design makes it easy and cheap to fix problems while giving strong, long-lasting performance.
For the first time on iPhone, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are designed with strong and lightweight titanium. This premium alloy is one of the strongest-to-lightest metals and is also used in spaceships. It makes the Apple Pro Series the lightest it has ever been.
An action button has replaced the switch that changed between ring and mute. It gives users more choices, like quickly accessing the camera or flashlight. To get even more options, you can use shortcuts or turn on accessibility tools like Voice Memo, Focus Mode, Translator, 3, and Magnifying Glass.
They have fine-tuned haptic feedback, press-and-hold motions in dynamic islands, and visual hints to ensure the new buttons work right.
The advanced camera system on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus helps users capture everyday moments and cherished memories. The 48 MP main camera has a quad-pixel sensor and 100% focus pixels for fast focusing. It takes photos and videos that are clear and captures fine details.
The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have state-of-the-art cameras with seven expert lenses. The A17 Pro makes this possible by integrating hardware and software deeply. The 48MP main camera, custom-made for the Pro Series and used computational photography, gives users even more options with a new 24MP ultra-high resolution setting. It gives users amazing picture quality at a file size that is easy to store and share.
The New iPhone 2023 Series offers convenient new ways to charge, find friends in busy places, and stay connected while traveling. Charging your iPhone, Mac, iPad, and the newer AirPods Pro (second generation) is possible with the same cord. Both models use the USB-C connector, a standard for charging and transferring data everyone agrees on.

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will be available starting Friday, September 22, 2023, at 5 a.m. PDT on Friday, September 15, 2023.
Apple’s new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro both come with a USB-C port, but the port’s capabilities vary by model.
iPhone 15 has greatly improved in all aspects compared to 14, especially the camera.
iPhone 15 photography delivers more accurate color, improved nighttime performance, and sharper images because you can capture full-blown 48-megapixel photos.
Of course, if you want the latest and greatest iPhone, you can buy the iPhone 15. The Pro model has a slightly longer battery life than the non-Pro model. The newer chip, ProMotion display, and more advanced camera system are the major pros of the Pro model.
If you don’t care much about extreme performance or the camera, you can skip the iPhone 15. Battery life and charging speeds haven’t changed, and the phone still looks similar to its predecessors.
But it’s not up to me to decide exactly how to choose. It’s still up to you how you see this new iPhone.
