Apple introduced the iPhone 15 line - four smartphones with USB-C and without bangs

On September 12, Apple finally introduced new smartphones - iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This time the entire quartet received screens with the Dynamic Island “island”, and the “bangs” finally became history.

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus

For the basic iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, the main camera module is now integral with the rear glass panel, which has a matte texture. The ends have become slightly rounded, which makes the smartphone more convenient, the company noted.

Otherwise, there are no fundamental external differences - the outline of the body and the location of the photomodules are identical to the previous generation. Except that new colors have appeared.

Both models feature 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch OLED displays with up to 2,000 nits of brightness (double the previous level). They are protected by a Ceramic Shield coating, as it should be.

The main camera of smartphones is 48 megapixels (f/1.6) with optical image stabilization by matrix shift. There is support for 4K recording and “optical quality” digital 2x zoom. Portrait mode has also been improved once again.

The second camera, apparently, has not changed - a 12 megapixel wide-angle. She was not given any attention at the presentation. As for the filling, here, as expected, there are Apple A16 Bionic processors, which last year only had in the Pro versions.

In terms of autonomy, the manufacturer promises a full working day. And USB-C is now used for charging. Hooray! The same port will appear in the company's headphones.

The iPhone 15 will start at $799, and the iPhone 15 Plus will start at $899.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

The new firmwares feature a fresh 3nm A17 chip. The chip has 19 billion transistors and a “breakthrough new graphics processor” with hardware support for ray tracing for top games. This chip will change mobile gaming, Apple believes.

By the end of 2023, Resident Evil Village, a remake of Resdent Evil 4 and Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be released on smartphones.

Both flagships received titanium cases, a first in the series. This metal has made it possible to make smartphones thinner and lighter. The ends also have slight roundings, and the screen frame has become noticeably narrower.

Another change is the appearance of the Action button promised by insiders instead of the silent mode switch on the side. The new button is, of course, customizable.

Displays - 6.1 and 6.7 inches. Everything is standard here: Super Retina XDR, ProMotion and Always-on display.

The triple camera is based on a new, larger 48-megapixel sensor. Of course, it allows you to take even more detailed photos in low light. A mode for uncompressed ProRAW photos will also be available.

The second module is a new ultra-wide-angle sensor, which also serves for macro. And the third is a telephoto camera for optical zoom.

This entire set of cameras allows you to take pictures at focal lengths from 13 to 120 mm, use 5x optical zoom, and also make spatial 3D video for viewing on a headset Apple Vision Pro.

The iPhone 15 Pro will start at $999, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max will start at $1,199.

The material is being supplemented.

Let us remind you that iPhone 15 pre-orders in Russia started accept even before the official announcement.
