List of iPhone models

telephone icon Telephones portal

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. They are the seventeenth-generation iPhones, succeeding the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. The devices were announced on September 12, 2023, during the Apple Event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California alongside the higher-priced iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max flagships. Pre-orders began on September 15, 2023, and the devices were made available on September 22, 2023.

History

In 2021, the European Commission began considering a proposal to mandate USB-C on all devices in the European Union, including iPhones.[6] Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Apple would drop its proprietary Lightning connector by 2023. At the time of those claims, Apple was considering switching to USB-C due to the likelihood that the EU proposal would pass.[7] The proposal was passed into law in October 2022, becoming the Radio Equipment Directive. Apple confirmed it would comply with the regulations later that month.[8]

Hardware

Display

The iPhone 15 features a 6.1-inch (155 mm) display with Super Retina XDR OLED technology at a resolution of 2556×1179 pixels and a pixel density of about 460 PPI. The iPhone 15 Plus features a 6.7-inch (170 mm) display with the same technology at a resolution of 2796×1290 pixels and a pixel density of about 460 PPI. Both models have the Super Retina XDR OLED display with improved typical brightness up to 1,000 nits, peak brightness (HDR) up to 1,600 nits, and peak brightness (outdoor) up to 2,000 nits.[5] The Dynamic Island feature is now standard on iPhone 15, replacing the display notch.[9]

Design

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will be available in five new colors: blue, pink, yellow, green, and black.[1]

Black

Charging and transfer speeds

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will use USB-C with USB 2.0 transfer speeds (est. up to 480 Mb/s or 60MB/s),[10] while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have faster USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds (est. up to 10Gb/s or 1.25GB/s).[11]

Video output

All iPhone 15 models have support for DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C video output with HDR up to 4K resolution.[5]

Previous iPhone models (from iPhone 5 until iPhone 14) had a maximum supported resolution of 1600 x 900 (slightly less than 1080p) with the Lightning Digital AV Adapter due to technical constraints of the Lightning connector.[12]

Battery

The iPhone 15 Plus offers users up to 26 hours of video playback and up to 100 hours of audio playback, and the iPhone 15 offers slightly less, with up to 20 hours of video playback and up to 80 hours of audio playback.[13]

Software

The iPhone 15 line will launch with iOS 17.[14] All iPhone 15 models will feature Dynamic Island,[15] a feature introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro line.
