The iPhone 15: What’s New, What’s Changed, and What to Expect


Apple’s newest flagship, the iPhone 15, has finally arrived, and as always, it has generated excitement among tech enthusiasts and Apple loyalists alike. With each new iPhone release, Apple introduces fresh innovations, better performance, and subtle design tweaks. But what exactly sets the iPhone 15 apart from its predecessors? Let’s dive into its standout features, key updates, and what to expect from this highly anticipated device.

1. Design: Refinement with Familiarity

The iPhone 15 continues with the sleek, premium design language Apple is known for but with subtle refinements. The flat-edge design, which was reintroduced with the iPhone 12, has been further refined to feel even more comfortable in the hand. 

One of the most notable changes is the USB-C port, a long-awaited shift from the Lightning connector. This move aligns with the European Union’s directive for standardized charging ports, and it also brings faster charging and data transfer capabilities.

Color options have been refreshed too. Expect a new range of finishes, including the classic graphite, silver, and an updated deep blue, among others. The material remains a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum and ceramic shield glass for durability.

2. Display: Brighter and Sharper

Apple’s Super Retina XDR display technology takes another leap forward in the iPhone 15. The 6.1-inch (iPhone 15) and 6.7-inch (iPhone 15 Pro Max) OLED screens are brighter than ever, with 120Hz ProMotion technology making its way across the lineup. This ensures smoother scrolling, responsive touch, and stunning visuals for games, videos, and everyday use.

A key enhancement is the improved Always-On Display, which now offers better power management, ensuring that users get the most out of their battery life without sacrificing utility.

3. Performance: Powered by the A17 Bionic Chip

As expected, the iPhone 15 debuts the next generation of Apple’s powerful chipsets: the A17 Bionic. Built on a 3-nanometer process, this chip delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency.

With up to 30% faster GPU performance, the iPhone 15 is a powerhouse for gaming and graphics-heavy applications. The Neural Engine is faster too, improving AI-driven tasks like photo processing and voice recognition. Multitasking, gaming, and everyday use will all feel smoother and more responsive.

4. Camera: Elevating Mobile Photography

Apple’s camera technology continues to push boundaries, and the iPhone 15 is no exception. It’s equipped with a 48MP main camera sensor, borrowed from the Pro models of the previous generation but with further refinements.

The larger sensor allows for more light, making low-light photography even better. Night Mode has also been enhanced, ensuring sharper images in dim settings. The Photonic Engine, Apple’s advanced computational photography system, brings improvements to color accuracy, dynamic range, and overall photo quality.

For video lovers, the iPhone 15 now supports 8K video recording with enhanced image stabilization, making it ideal for content creators and professionals who rely on high-quality video on the go.

5. Battery Life and Charging: All-Day Power with Fast Charging

Thanks to the power efficiency of the A17 Bionic chip and advancements in battery technology, the iPhone 15 offers all-day battery life. While the exact capacity hasn’t been disclosed, early reviews suggest significant improvement over previous models, especially for power users.

With the switch to USB-C, users can now enjoy faster charging speeds, with up to 50% charge in just 30 minutes using a 30W adapter. The move to USB-C also means universal compatibility with a wider range of devices, from laptops to external drives.

6. Software: iOS 17 and Beyond

The iPhone 15 runs on iOS 17, Apple’s latest mobile operating system. With it comes a host of new features, including improved Live Text, enhanced widgets, and better multitasking capabilities. iOS 17 also introduces Personal Voice, a feature that lets you create a digital voice for accessibility purposes, and Journal, an app designed to help users track and reflect on their daily activities.

Apple’s focus on privacy and security remains strong, with iOS 17 offering new features to protect your data, such as Lockdown Mode, which provides heightened security in targeted scenarios.

7. Sustainability: A Greener iPhone

Apple continues to make strides in environmental sustainability, and the iPhone 15 is no different. It uses 100% recycled aluminum for the frame and recycled rare earth elements in key components. Apple has also taken steps to reduce its carbon footprint by optimizing the iPhone’s energy efficiency and packaging.

8. Pricing and Availability

The iPhone 15 starts at around ₹79,900 in India for the base model, with prices increasing for higher storage options and the Pro models. Availability begins in mid-September 2024, with pre-orders opening shortly before.

Worth the Upgrade?

The iPhone 15 brings incremental but meaningful upgrades in design, performance, camera quality, and charging. The shift to USB-C, along with the powerful A17 Bionic chip and improved camera system, makes it a compelling option for both current iPhone users and those switching from other platforms. While it might not be revolutionary compared to the iPhone 14, it’s certainly a refined and polished evolution of Apple’s flagship device.

If you’re someone who values cutting-edge performance, better photography, and future-proof technology, the iPhone 15 is worth considering. However, for users with the iPhone 14 or 13, the decision to upgrade might depend on how much you value the specific improvements like USB-C, the brighter display, or enhanced camera performance. 

In any case, the iPhone 15 continues Apple’s tradition of delivering premium smartphones that set the standard for design, functionality, and user experience.

Which Indian state offers the most discount on an electric car purchase?

By Ankit Awasthi
When one considers purchasing an electric car, the term "price" is the first thing that comes to mind as the most significant barrier. Because electric cars (EVs) in India confront various problems relating to pricing as well as infrastructure and technology, individuals are obliged to purchase petrol or diesel-powered automobiles instead. Nevertheless, the efforts of new cars and governments that have emerged over the course of the last few years have helped to grow the EV business. In this section, we shall discuss the efforts that have been taken for EV incentives. When you buy an electric vehicle, you may be eligible for a number of financial incentives offered jointly by the federal government and the states, which will allow you to keep more money in your own pocket. The "Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles" (FAME) program was put into effect by the Central Government in 2015. Its purpose was to encourage the production of electri...

Have You Heard About Twitter's Brand New "Notes" Platform?

By Ankit Awasthi
 Have You Heard About Twitter's Brand New "Notes" Platform? Twitter is mostly credited for popularizing microblogging; the platform's original character restriction of 140, which was eventually increased to 280, was responsible for fostering genuine innovation in users of online platforms. Having said that, it is not always appropriate to confine an idea or concept to a few phrases. In the past, users of Twitter have resorted to threads for building on ideas, which connects a large number of tweets into one continuous narrative. Because the business has revealed that it is working on incorporating full-fledged blogging into its platform, it seems that the days of depending just on threads may be coming to an end. Notes - A brand New Feature Twitter unveiled Notes, a brand new feature that is presently being tested with a small number of authors, hours after whispers of an extension beyond 280 words began to circulate online. Notes is a brand new feature that Twitter i...
