iPhone 15 with Dynamic Island
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have arrived with new colors, a faster processor, camera improvements, and much more.
There are two tiers of iPhone that are differentiated by build materials, processor, display technology, and camera features. Apple has brought a handful of features from the iPhone 14 Pro to the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus were revealed during the Wonderlust Apple Event. These standard models are made from aluminum, have only two rear cameras, and use the previous-generation A16 processor.
New features include a USB-C port, Dynamic Island, and an improved 48MP Main Camera. The iPhone 15's A16 processor was previously used in the iPhone 14 Pro, an upgrade from the iPhone 14's A15.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be announced later in the event. Those models tend to get significant updates including new camera features and processors.
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus design
The iPhone 15 has a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 15 Plus has a 6.7-inch display. They both have Super Retina XDR display technology, which offers HDR, True Tone, P3 color, and 2 million to 1 contrast.
The most noticeable design change this generation is the move away from the notch to a Dynamic Island. This cutout is surrounded by active display pixels, which iOS uses to display Live Activity information.
Despite still being aluminum and glass, Apple opted for more muted colors. These colors are blue, green, pink, silver, and black.
The glass on the rear of the device is one piece, including the camera bump. It is made with a dual ion exchange process and nano crystalline particles for increased durability.
The device edge is made from aluminum as expected, but it has a curved edge. Apple says this will be easier to grip.
