The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are smartphones made by Apple Inc.. They are the newest models in the iPhone series, coming after the iPhone 14. Apple announced these phones on September 12, 2023. They became available for sale on September 22, 2023.

Key Features of iPhone 15

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus come with several new features. These include a new way to charge and connect, and a brighter screen. They also have a special area on the screen called Dynamic Island.

A New Way to Connect: USB-C

The iPhone 15 models use a USB-C port for charging and connecting to other devices. This is different from older iPhones, which used a Lightning port. This change happened because of a new law in the European Union. This law says that many electronic devices, including phones, must use USB-C. Apple agreed to follow this rule.

Screen and Display Details

The iPhone 15 has a 6.1-inch screen. The iPhone 15 Plus has a larger 6.7-inch screen. Both models use a special screen technology called Super Retina XDR OLED. This makes colors look very bright and clear.

  • Brighter Screen: The screens on both models are much brighter than before. This makes it easier to see your phone outdoors, even in bright sunlight.
  • Dynamic Island: The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus now have the Dynamic Island feature. This is a small, interactive area at the top of the screen. It can show alerts, activities, and notifications. It replaces the old "notch" that used to be there.

Design and Colors

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus come in five different colors. These colors are blue, pink, yellow, green, and black.

Both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus come with iOS 17 already installed. This is the latest operating system from Apple. It includes new features and improvements for how the phone works.
