List of iPhone models

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus[lower-alpha 1] are smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. They are the seventeenth generation of the iPhone, succeeding the iPhone 14. Their release was announced on September 12, 2023, along with the 15 Pro and Pro Max variants, Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.[2] They are set to be released September 22, 2023, with pre-orders being available starting September 15.

History[edit]

In 2021, the European Commission began considering a proposal to mandate USB-C on all devices in the European Union, including iPhones.[3] Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Apple would drop its proprietary Lightning connector by 2023.[4] The proposal was passed into law in October 2022, becoming the Radio Equipment Directive. Apple confirmed it would comply with the European Union's regulations that month.[5]

Specifications[edit]

Hardware[edit]

Display[edit]

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.[6] The Dynamic Island feature is now standard on iPhone 15, replacing the display notch.[7]

Charging and transfer speeds[edit]

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will use USB-C with USB 2.0 transfer speeds (est. up to 480 Mbps / 60MBps)[8], while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have faster USB 3.1 transfer speeds (est. up to 10Gbps / 1.25GBps).[9]

Video output[edit]

All iPhone 15 models have support for DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C video output with HDR up to 4K resolution.[10][11]

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[edit]

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]
