Apple launched its new iPhone 15 series on September 12, and all models are now available for purchase. In-store purchases will be possible starting from September 22. Like previous iPhone releases, Apple has released four new models – iPhone 15, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max – with significant design and feature upgrades. This article will discuss some of the most talked-about features of the new flagship phones and see how Apple has leveled up its smartphone genre.

New features and innovations in the iPhone 15 handsets
The following are some of the features that have been added:

Addition of USB-C port
There are differences in the ports used for the iPhone 15 and the Pro models. The port in the Pro model is faster, allowing for data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. The USB-C port replaces the Lightning port, meaning the latter will no longer be needed. However, this is a plus as one will no longer have to carry multiple cables for Macs and iPads.

Dynamic Island is available in all iPhone 15 handsets
The Dynamic Island previously found in iPhone Pro is available on all the iPhone 15 handsets. It is a pill-shaped area on the iPhone with all the camera hardware. It also can change shape while displaying key iPhone alerts and notifications.

48MP main camera upgrade for all models
All the iPhone 15s now have 48 MP main cameras, though there are some sensor differences.

Ultra-wideband connectivity
The ultra-wideband connectivity feature is unique to the iPhone 15. It enhances its ability to use Precision Finding mode three times, allowing one to identify a device with a similar chip, even if it is three times farther away, allowing one to find friends in a crowd.
For all the iPhone 15, along with USB-C charging, one can also charge the phone through MagSafe and Qi2. It also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. The designs have changed to more contoured edges than the iPhone 14, making it more modern.

Guide for significant features of the iPhone 15 series
The iPhone 15 series will remain Apple’s flagship phone until the release of newer phones. There is a lot of expectation about what Apple can do with a phone with everything possible. While the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus remain the standard models, the Pro and Max have additional and best features and advanced capabilities.
