iPhone 15 release: the ultimate guide to features, colors and innovations

It’s August and the tech world is already looking ahead to the iPhone 15 release at Apple’s upcoming September event. Already in June, Apple gave the first glimpses of the new iOS 17 with many new features at the WWDC.n – now the hardware release is imminent. Experts like MacRumors have been devoting themselves to this topic for monthsIn this article, we have compiled all the important information for you so that you are well informed.

Apple is staying true to its line and plans to delight us again with four iPhone 15 models, analogous to the sizes of the iPhone 14. The range extends from two 6.1-inch variants to the 6.7-inch variants, with one of the 6.1-inch models representing the standard iPhone 15 and the 6.7-inch model coming as the iPhone 15 "Plus". However, the real fireworks of functions and features are expected in the Pro models, which could possibly even see a small price increase in this generation.

These innovations are likely to be found on the iPhone 15

Some of the most discussed innovations include the switch to USB-C, the abolition of the well-known notch in favor of des Dynamic Island from the iPhone 14 Pro, new iPhone 15 colors and impressive technical upgrades like the Qualcomm modem chip and the A17 chip in the Pro models. The iPhone 15 prices could also rise this year. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The iPhone 15 release date is not yet 100 percent certain, but the iPhone 15 release is expected to be on September 12, 2023. Over the course of this article, we'll dive deep into what the iPhone 15 has to offer and why it's already making waves.

Models and variations: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

In the next iPhone generation, there will be four different models to choose from: the standard iPhone 15, the iPhone 15 Plus and two particularly high-quality Pro models, available in sizes 6.1 and 6.7 inches. With this selection, you might think that there is something for everyone. But where is the iPhone 15 Mini? Some fans might be disappointed, but as is often the case, Apple may still have a surprise in store here. Because in recent years there have been numerous rumors about new products from Apple that ultimately turned out not to be true.

Technology and Innovations: iPhone 15 120Hz?

Apple is known for its enthusiasm for innovation. The iPhone 15 promises to underline this reputation. The switch from Lightning to USB-C will not only revolutionize charging times, but could also ensure seamless interaction with other devices. The "Dynamic Island", which is intended to replace the classic notch, should also be exciting. Dynamic Island was introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro last year - this year the normal iPhone 15 models should also be happy about this feature.

Screen technology: iPhone 15 120Hz safe?

The iPhone 15 could actually a 120Hz panel bring and for a more liquid display experience even with the normal iPhone models However, it is by no means confirmed that Apple will offer 120Hz panels on the regular iPhone 15 this year – as in previous generations, this could be withheld from the Pro models for the time being.

Design and Aesthetics: iPhone 15 Colors

With new color options such as a rich dark pink and a fresh light blue, the iPhone 15 should not only impress technically, but also visually. The iPhone 15 Pro will feature rounded corners, thinner edges and, for the first time, a classy titanium frame. The titanium frame could mean that the iPhone 15 Pro is significantly lighter. And what's the deal with the mysterious "Action" button? This could replace the "ringer mute switch" and instead be freely programmable. We are excited!

camera and lens upgrades

Photography fans, hold on tight: The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus set new standards with a 48-megapixel camera. The iPhone 15 Pro Max will likely follow suit with a periscope zoom lens. But that's not all. Improved low-light performance will also delight night owl photographers.

Connectivity and performance: New 5G chip

The iPhone 15 will probably improve its network connection even further. Qualcomm's 5G modem chips ensure a fast connection. The Pro models even go one step further with the Qualcomm X70 chip. And anyone who spends a lot of time on the home network will be happy about Wi-Fi 6E.

Performance and specifications: A17 Bionic

The iPhone 15 Pro will boast an impressive 3nm A-series chip, the A17 Bionic, inside. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus rely on the 4nm A16 chip, which already provided breathtaking performance in the iPhone 14 Pro last year. But that's not all: a whopping 6GB of RAM will ensure that you can use multiple apps at the same time without losing performance.

iPhone 15: When is the release date?

The release date of the iPhone 15 has not yet been set, but if Apple stays true to its tradition, we can look forward to the big moment in September – An Apple keynote on September 12, 2023 is very likely.

iPhone 15: Price and Expectations

The iPhone 15 release date is approaching, and everyone is asking, "How much will the iPhone 15 cost?" It is expected that the iPhone 15 Pro price in particular could increase - but exactly how high the iPhone 15 prices will be is not yet known. For comparison: The previous iPhone 14 Pro Max was €1,449, the iPhone 14 Pro was €1,299, and the iPhone 14 was €999.

The excitement surrounding the release of the iPhone 15 is palpable. Speculation and discussion are everywhere. What will Apple offer this year? Which features will delight, and which might disappoint? One thing is certain: the iPhone 15, like its predecessors, will be a talking point.

The unlikely: iPhone 15 Touch ID or even an iPhone 15 mini?

Amid the flood of rumors and speculation about what Apple will present to us on the iPhone 15, there are also some features and models that apparently will not see the light of day this time. Some fans had hoped for the return of TouchID for the iPhone 15, which would make unlocking even easier in certain situations. But it looks like Apple is not yet ready to give this tried and tested technology a reappearance.Likewise, there is unlikely to be an iPhone 15 mini, suggesting that Apple may be taking a break from the more compact models. It's always fascinating to see what decisions a tech giant like Apple makes - and what it doesn't.
