IPhone 15: release date, price, design, technical sheet, everything you need to know

After having increased sharply in 2022 (from 909 to 1019 euros), the iPhone 15 prices would be identical to those of the iPhone 14 at the time of its launch.

iPhone 15: What will the new Apple smartphone look like, expected during the keynote

Like last year, the iPhone 15 could be available in a “plus” version, with a 6.7 -inch screen.

This Tuesday, September 12 at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Apple will unveil its new iPhone vintage. Among them, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, which logically succeed the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. For future customers, several new features should be there, starting with a discreet revolution: the change of connectors, which would switch to USB-C. The charger would then become compatible with those of Android devices.

Several other size changes are planned. First, on the front, with the expected disappearance of the black notch, at the top of the screen. Like the iPhone 14 Pro, the iPhone 15 could thus adopt the “Dynamic Island”, a black ellipse in which some shortcuts come to follow an open application in the background (Music, GPS navigation etc.)).

New camera, no new processor

According to multiple rumors, the iPhone 15 would also benefit from improving its main camera, with a 48 megapixel sensor, against 12 megapixels currently – again inherited from the iPhone 14 Pro. It would be, as on the current model, supplemented by an ultra wide angle camera of 12 megapixels.

Also according to well -informed analysts and journalists, the iPhone 15 / iPhone 15 Plus will not benefit from new processor. A first at Apple, which would thus keep the – already very powerful – chip A16 Bionic. An A17 Bionic version will see the light of day, but will be reserved for the “Pro” range.

Aesthetically, the iPhone 15 should look closely at the iPhone 14, with a 6.1 inch screen size for the classic model, against 6.7 inches for the large format. For the colors put in the spotlight, Apple could bet on blue, pink and pastel yellow, in addition to the traditional white and black colors.

After having increased sharply in 2022 (from 909 to 1019 euros), the iPhone 15 prices would be identical to those of the iPhone 14 at the time of its launch.

�� What design for the iPhone 15 ?

No revolution on the design side of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus who take up the curves of their big brothers, the Dynamic Island in addition. On the other hand, the pro versions are decked out of titanium, a first for an Apple smartphone.

The manufacturer defines it as “One of the metals displaying the best robust/weight ratio”, emphasizing that he had never released such light pro models. And to praise the new brushed texture of its new smartphones, its profiled edges and its fine outline like never before.

�� iPhone 15: What are the characteristics of the camera ?

As usual, Apple did not skimp on the photo part. Here are the points to remember. Versions 15 and 15 plus have a main objective of 48 Mpx capable of taking photos in very high resolution of 24 mpx. Iphone 15 pro side, The main objective of 48 MPx is capable of providing high resolution of 24 MP by default. It is notably possible to juggle between three focal lengths (24, 28 and 35 mm).

What is more, the main objective supports HEIF images to 48 Mpx with a four -time resolution. We also underline the amplitude of the optical zoom of the pro max: 5x to 120 mm. Apple has never reached this level on one of its smartphones.

Throughout the range, Apple insisted on portraits whose rendering is largely improved, especially when the brightness is low. It will even be possible to generate licked portraits afterwards without having activated the mode when capturing.

iPhone 15 and 15 Plus

• Main objective 48 MPX, 26 mm, opening ƒ/1.6
• Ultra Grand Angle 12 Mpx, 13 mm, opening ƒ/2.4 and 120 ° vision field

�� What autonomy for the iPhone 15 ?

During the keynote, Apple assured that the batteries of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus had a greater capacity, which would be synonymous with increased autonomy. Here are the figures revealed by the brand that future tests will confirm or invalidate:

iPhone 15

• Video reading: Until 8 p.m
• Video streaming: until 4 p.m
• Audio playback: Until 80 a.m

iPhone 15 Plus

• Video reading: Until 26 h
• Video streaming: until 8 p.m
• Audio reading: Until 100 h

iPhone 15 pro

• Video reading: Until 11 p.m
• Video streaming: until 8 p.m
• Audio reading: up to 95 hours

iPhone 15 pro max

• Video reading: Until 29 p.m
• Video streaming: up to 25 hours
• Audio reading: up to 95 hours

Apple would have bet on so -called “stacked battery” technology, modeled on electric cars. This would inflate the energy density by 10 %. What allow it to increase the capacity of batteries without making them more bulky. In addition, the iPhone 15 offers an adjustment limiting the load to 80%, which would significantly extend the battery life.

�� The iPhone 15 introduces USB-C, it’s official !

The passage from Lightning to the USB-C does not change much for the iPhone 15: it is limited to the speeds induced by the USB 2 (up to 480 Mbit/s). Faster transfer speeds are reserved for ‌Pro models which adopt the USB 3 standard (up to 10 Gbit/s). Speed ​​that will be reaching with a cable to buy separately. Malice signed Apple which could also appear for fast recharging.

Before the launch, he was whispering that users who wanted to benefit would be forced to buy an MFI certified cable (Made for iOS). The EU was quick to react to this rumor by reminding Apple that the use of a priority cable is prohibited as it would go against the planned standardization. The fact remains that the manufacturer has no obligation before the end of 2024. The Cupertino firm is thus free to adopt the USB-C Rid Port for its iPhone 15, If she wishes.

Experiments show that by connecting an iPhone 15 and an Android smartphone by USB-C, one of the two phones begins to load the other, randomly. Unfortunately, it is impossible to exchange files via the connection.

��IPhone 15 Pro: what is the action button for ?

If the volume buttons remain unchanged, an action button is now nestled instead of the ringing/silent switch on pro models. This is a customizable switch, users that can configure it to open certain apps (camera, torch lamp, dictaphone, shortcuts, etc.). The Action button on the iPhone 15 is a little disappointing: it offers only one shortcut in a long pressure of the finger, when the Samsung allow several shortcuts by varying the movements.

��What are the colors of the iPhone 15 ?

The colors of the iPhone 15 and 15 plus are scrutinized closely by users. Here is what the manufacturer offers this year to Basic models ::

On the side Premium models, You can choose between the following colors:

• Blue titanium
• Natural titanium

�� What are the performance offered by the iPhone 15 ?

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are powered by the chip A16 Bionic, Currently used in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Unsurprisingly, Apple continues its strategy by reserving its latest chips for the most premium models in the range. This is how the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have the privilege of being powered by the first mobile SoC engraved in 3 nanometers. Apple promises A 10 % faster CPU and one Neural Eugine up to twice as fast. The manufacturer also praises the SOC GPU, up to 20 % faster.

On the connectivity side, it turns out that Wi-Fi 6 exclusively concerns pro and pro max models. This new standard offers faster speeds, less latency and less interference. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus must be satisfied with the Wi-Fi 6 standard.

According to tests of the Speedsmart site in the United States, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max far exceed the 5G speeds of their predecessors . Their download speeds would increase up to 24% compared to the iPhone 14 Pro, thanks to the Qualcomm Modem X70. Nevertheless, these increased performance depend on operators: we are waiting to see the results in France.

In addition, the four models embark on a second generation ultra wideband chip. This allows you to connect to another iPhone (also with the chip) in “A larger three -range area“, Promises Apple. Good news for the function Precise location In Locate my friends.

Always in the performance department, the iPhone 15 pro are propelled by 8 GB of RAM, This contrasts with RAM standards in recent years, limited to 6 GB of RAM on smartphones.

On the benchmarks side, Dcisinde claims to have obtained the scores of the A17 Bionic. These would be to 3019 in monocoeur and 7860 in multicoors on geekbench 6. The A16 Bionic chip would display 2504 and 6314.

�� The iPhone 15 will become the friend of the gamers

This year, Apple makes the Gamers soft. On pro models, the A17 chip makes it possible to significantly increase the fluidity of the graphics and the immersion in play. It is even possible to benefit from Ray Tracing and Upscaling by Metalfx.

Users will be able to rub shoulders with games never deployed on smartphones like Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, Death Stranding and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. A YouTube videographer showed the possibilities offered, having fun connecting her TV and a PS5 controller to his iPhone 15 Pro to play Resident Evil 8.
