What are the New Features of iPhone 15?

If you are excited to learn about the new additions to the iPhone 15 lineup, here are some of the significant features you should expect;

• The iPhone 15 series is expected to bring an all-screen display, extending the display to the edges with little to no room for bezels.
• Besides that, the cutout at the top of the front side, which houses the facial recognition sensor and camera, will be no more. The two features will be moved inside a “dynamic island” – a new technology that allows access to the two features under the screen while displaying different interactive modules like quick access to maps or controlling music playing. The dynamic island is not a new feature, and it was first introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro. But, Apple has decided to make it a standard feature in all the models in the lineup.
• Moreover, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will have borders that are 0.7 mm thinner than the current models, which are 2.2 mm thick.
• Another change will be the charger. Apple has decided to bring the USB-C charger, replacing the proprietary lightning cable technology. The move has been made to accommodate the European Union’s mandatory requirements to standardize the charging technology in the region.
• There are rumours, as well, that the new iPhone Pro models will have periscope lenses. This is a new technology that uses a series of mirrors to provide a better-quality optical zoom.
• Some models may also use titanium instead of aluminium.

The iPhone 15 models will be available in blue, a coral shade that is a cross between pink and orange, white, black and green/yellow.

The camera lenses on the rear will have a new design. The iPhone 15 Pro is believed to have the most significant change – the lenses may get a 2x increase in size.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is believed to house the periscope zoom lens, and the lens is expected to protrude less. 

Apple may introduce titanium frames to the Pro models. The weight calculations published on the 9to5Mac suggest that Pro and Pro Max phones may weigh half an ounce less than their series 14 counterparts.
