Today\u2019s (Tuesday 12th September) event kicked off in the Steve Jobs Theatre in Apple Park, and viewers were invited to take a look at the 16th generation of the Apple iPhone: the iPhone 15. When the iPhone was first launched in 2007, it changed the smartphone game forever, and 16 years on, we\u2019re still just as excited for the next device launch.<\/p>\n
Four models were released at today\u2019s Apple event: the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. All four devices will feel lighter than their predecessors, and promise to include an improved Ultra Wideband chip, longer battery life, and better camera, amongst other improved features.<\/p>\n

Not only will the titanium material have a matte, brushed appearance, but it will make the iPhone 15 Pro models lighter and more durable. The iPhone 15 Pro Max has also had periscope lens technology installed for enhanced zoom capabilities.<\/p>\n The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max comes in two colourways.<\/p>\n The new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will come in five colourways: Blue, Pink, Black, Green, and Yellow.

Here are our guides to the best iPhone accessories<\/a> you can buy this month, the best smartphone tripods<\/a>, best AirPods alternatives<\/a>, and the best portable chargers<\/a>, too.<\/strong><\/p> The 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch iPhone 15 models will include a Dynamic Island \u2014 a small area on the iPhone that looks after camera hardware and serves as a hub for iPhone alerts \u2014 and an Ultra Wideband chip. But that\u2019s not all. Perhaps the most exciting changes we\u2019ve seen with the brand-new iPhone 15 models are the USB-C port and the Action button. Let\u2019s find out more.<\/p>\n Before the iPhone 15 was launched, all iPhones relied on a lightning cable, whereas other devices, including Apple ones and other devices such as a Kindle, used a USB-C port. As these ports are different shapes and sizes, you\u2019re unable to use the same charger to juice up your iPhone and, for example, your Kindle. However, this recent improvement means that you now can.<\/p>\n Another huge difference between the iPhone 15 models in comparison to their predecessors is that Apple has introduced a new Action button to replace the existing ring\/silent switch. The ring\/silent switch has been a staple button on the iPhone since its launch in 2007, however, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will now include a push button to allow users to enable certain functions. The Action button can be customised in settings to action functions such as torch, voice memos, and camera.<\/p>\n The iPhone 15 has an OLED display with 2,000 nits in peak brightness, so you can always see your phone screen, no matter how sunny it is.<\/p>\n The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have a particularly impressive camera set-up: both models have a 48-megapixel Main camera with an f\/1.6 aperture \u2014 a performance feature which allows more light into the camera than, for example, an f\/1.8 aperture, which means the iPhone 15 can better handle low light situations \u2014 and a 12-megapixel Ultra Wide camera with an f\/2.4 aperture. You\u2019re also able to capture videos in 4K, too.<\/p>\n Taking portraits has never been easier with the iPhone 15, and you no longer need to remember to turn on Portrait Mode; using Machine Learning, the new iPhone 15 can tell if there\u2019s a person in the photo, so you can choose to turn the photo into a portrait in the photo editing app.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth mentioning, too, that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max cores rival that of a desktop, and it comes with a USB 3.0 cable.<\/p>\n Apple features in our guides to the best smartphones for older people<\/a>, best mid-range phones<\/a> to buy this year, and best tablets for older people<\/a> guides.<\/strong><\/p>\n You can pre-order the brand-new iPhone 15 from Friday 15th September on the Apple website, and the iPhone 15 range will be available to buy outright from next Friday 22nd September.<\/p>\n The iPhone 15 will be available to pre-order from the following UK retailers and mobile networks.<\/p>\n You can pre-order all four models of the iPhone 15 at Box.co.uk; this includes the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
