A Powerful Camera for High-Resolution Photography
The camera system on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus has been upgraded to help users capture everyday moments and special memories in remarkable detail.
The 48MP Main camera is at the forefront of this innovation, allowing users to take sharp photos and videos while preserving fine details. With a quad-pixel sensor and 100 percent Focus Pixels for fast autofocus, this camera ensures your shots are always on point.
Leveraging the power of computational photography, the Main camera now defaults to a 24MP super-high-resolution setting, offering superb image quality without excessive file sizes. Users can enjoy excellent image quality while efficiently storing and sharing their photos.
Another standout feature is the introduction of a 2x Telephoto option, providing users with three optical zoom levels (0.5x, 1x, 2x), a first for an iPhone dual-camera system.
The iPhone 15 lineup also brings advancements in portrait photography. Users can now capture detailed, vibrant portraits without needing to switch to Portrait mode.
Low-light photography has seen improvements with enhancements to Night mode, resulting in sharper details and richer colors. Smart HDR, which is now available to third-party apps, ensures that your photos have true-to-life skin tones, brighter highlights, and more vivid midtones and shadows.
A16 Bionic Chip: Exceptional Performance
Powering the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus is the A16 Bionic chip, known for its speed and efficiency. With two high-performance cores that use 20 percent less power and four high-efficiency cores, the 6-core CPU offers faster performance than the previous generation while maintaining impressive battery life.
The 5-core GPU features 50 percent more memory bandwidth, ensuring smooth graphics performance for activities like streaming videos and gaming.
Enhanced Safety Features for Peace of Mind
The iPhone 15 lineup enhances safety capabilities with features like Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite. Emergency SOS via satellite, available in multiple countries and regions, has already proven its value in real-world situations. This safety service will soon expand to Spain and Switzerland.
Expanding on this innovative satellite infrastructure, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus introduce Roadside Assistance via satellite in the United States.
Robust Connection Capabilities
Both models of the iPhone 15 lineup feature a USB‑C connector, offering a universal standard for charging and data transfer. This connector allows users to charge various Apple devices, including iPhone, Mac, iPad, and the updated AirPods Pro (2nd generation). Users can also charge AirPods or Apple Watch directly from their iPhone.
Both models also include the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which facilitates extended range connections between iPhone devices. This is particularly useful for Precision Finding in Find My friends, allowing iPhone 15 users to share their location and easily locate each other, even in crowded areas.
