The Apple brand’s annual conference provided all the information necessary to compare the different versions with each other and with the previous generation. The release date, pre-orders, prices, design, technical sheets for each formula… All you have to do is determine which model is right for you.
Design, colors and connections: few changes for Apple’s iPhone 15 despite a switch to USB-C
From an outside perspective, there are relatively few changes between theiPhone 15 and its predecessor. You will find the 4 solutions already advanced for the iPhone 14: a standard iPhone 15 version, the iPhone 15 Plus, theiPhone 15 Pro and theiPhone 15 Pro Max.
If they still illustrate the perfect ergonomics and refined style of Apple smartphones, their dimensions essentially repeat those of the previous one. For example, the iPhone 15 Plus has practically the same measurements as the iPhone 14 Plus. There is only 3mm difference in width and 1mm difference in height. The weight also changes little.
A notable change concerns connectivity. Apple has finally ditched its iconic Lightning port, switching to USB-C. Versatile, it supports USB 2 on the iPhone 15 and Plus versions, and USB 3 on the Pro and Pro Max versions.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus chassis are designed with glass-backed aluminum. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max benefit from a titanium construction. If it is overall more resistant, all models are IP68 certified, guaranteeing excellent resistance to water and dust.
Apple has planned 5 colors for the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus : pink, yellow, green, blue and black. There are 4 of them for the Pro and Pro Max solutions, with the colors Natural Titanium, Blue Titanium, Gray Titanium and Black Titanium.
The iPhone 15 goes even further on the photo side and generalizes the Dynamic Island
The first favor one-handed use, the second are aimed more at people looking for a comfortable and pleasant experience. The Pro and Pro Max versions are also distinguished by the integration of ProMotion technology, a dynamic adaptation of the refresh rate depending on the type of use.
Apple has equipped its smartphones with its new in-house designed A16 and A17 Bionic chips. Unsurprisingly, these are high-end processors. With the 5-core GPU (6 cores for the Pro and Pro Max versions), they deliver excellent performance and extreme fluidity, classic for smartphones in this range.
Compared to the last generation, the Dynamic Island is now widespread. Even the standard version and the iPhone 15 Plus have it. All buyers will benefit from this notch located at the top of the screen and allowing quicker access to notifications.
The iPhone 15 stands out in the photo field. Each version has a new 48-megapixel main sensor. In comparison, the iPhone 14’s sensor totaled 12 megapixels. With the ultra wide angle, the gain in detail is considerable. On the Pro and Pro Max versions, it even becomes a triple module adding a telephoto lens. The iPhone 15 Pro Max goes even further by offering a x5 optical zoom instead of the x3 of the Pro formula.
There is also the question of autonomy and storage. As with the iPhone 14, this new generation maintains very good figures, ranging from 20 hours of video playback on the iPhone 15 to 29 hours on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The latter offers from 256 GB to 1 TB of space, all other versions start at 128 GB.
