On 12 September Apple used its Wonderlust event to unveil its latest line-up of iPhones, Apple Watches, and more. Over the following pages we’ve everything you need to know about Apple’s new hardware.
iPHONE 15 & 15 PLUS
The iPhone 15 is here, and while all of the attention is on the new Pro models with titanium frames and new telephoto cameras, those people who don’t want a thousand-pound phone aren’t left out. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have some excellent upgrades as well, especially if you’re coming from an iPhone 12 or earlier. Here are the five best new features of Apple’s newest iPhones.
USB-C
The biggest change with the iPhone 15 is the move from Lightning to USB-C. For the past decade, the iPhone has had a proprietary Lightning port, but now you’ll be able to charge your iPad and Mac with the same cable. Apple is supplying a USB-C charging cable in the box so you probably won’t need to buy anything unless you don’t have a USB-C charger.
A16 chip
The iPhone 15 gets the same A16 chip that was introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro models last year, and while it probably won’t feel much faster in your day-to-day use, you’ll get some new features that might make a difference. For example, the A16 chip has an upgraded image signal processor for better computational photography as well as a Display Engine for smoothing out images and animations.
