Apple iPhone 15 launch

The Apple iPhone 15 was launched during the company's ‘Wonderlust’ event at Cupertino in California on September 12. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus versions have a 6.1 inch and 6.7 inch display respectively.

From this year, Apple switched to the USB-C connector as per the European law. The USB-C connectivity will make it easier for professionals to transfer high-quality video from the iPhone directly onto their hard drives.

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models sport an "action button" in place of the mute switch that can be customised for a variety of functions. They will use titanium instead of stainless steel for the side bars.

The latest iPhone's satellite connectivity can now be used to summon roadside assistance, a feature launched in the U.S. in partnership with American Automobile Association.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus get A16 bionic chip, while the iPhone 15 Pro and the Pro Max will be powered by the A17 pro chip. The hardware on the Pro line makes the devices suitable for high-end mobile gaming.
