Pricing
The iPhone 15 series has arrived, bringing along a plethora of exciting changes and fresh features.
The headline news is crystal clear: the iPhone 15 marks one of the most significant upgrades in
recent iPhone history. There's plenty to be thrilled about, so let's jump right into the details.
A Quick Look at the iPhone 15 Series
Apple has introduced four new iPhone 15 models, following the playbook of the iPhone 14 and previous
iterations.
To kick things off, we have the standard iPhone 15, followed by the iPhone 15 Plus, and then the
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. All of them start at the same prices and offer identical
storage options, with the exception of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which now begins at a slightly higher
price point of $1,200 but boasts a generous 256GB of storage in its base version. The rest of the
lineup starts with a solid 128GB of storage as the baseline.
Among these four models, two fall into the compact-ish category with 6.1-inch screens (namely, the
iPhone 15 and the 15 Pro), while the other two belong to the larger category (the Plus and the Pro
Max) with expansive 6.7-inch displays.
The most budget-friendly of the new arrivals is the iPhone 15, starting at $800 and retaining a
6.1-inch display along with a pair of rear cameras. Next in line, at a $900 starting price, is the
6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, which offers a beefier battery but sticks with just two cameras.
And then, we have the premium Pro models, which introduce new features to set them apart even further
from their non-Pro counterparts. Both the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max feature the cutting-edge A17
Pro chip, bringing a slew of enhancements to the table. The smaller 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro retains
the familiar triple rear camera setup, while the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max stands out as the first
iPhone ever to sport a folded camera with a whopping 5X native zoom level, a significant improvement
over the current 3X zoom.
Now, let's sum up the ten most notable new features of the iPhone 15:
- USB-C port replaces Lightning.
- All four models feature Dynamic Island.
- iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are powered by the older A16 chip.
- iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max run on the newer A17 chip.
- Pro models incorporate titanium instead of stainless steel, reducing weight.
- iPhone 15 Pro models replace the mute switch with a new programmable Action Button.
- Slightly larger battery sizes.
- Only the iPhone 15 Pro Max model gets a new periscope camera with an extended zoom
range.
- Regular iPhone 15 models receive an upgraded main camera with a 48MP sensor.
These are just the standout features, but there are numerous other subtle improvements to discover.
