Apple announced its next-generation iPhone during its Wonderlust event, featuring camera upgrades for all models and the powerful A17 Bionic processor for its Pro models. All new iPhone 15 models will be available for pre-order at the end of this week, with availability starting at the end of the month. Spoiler alert: The iPhone 15 lineup will be the first iPhone to have a USB-C charging port.iPhone 15 and 15 Plus
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are touted industry-first with color-infused back glass, a textured matte finish, and a new contoured edge. Both lower-end models will receive the Dynamic Island feature that was only available on Pro models last year. The 15 and 15 Plus will also receive last year’s A16 Bionic processor, boosting things like computational photography.
Perhaps the most significant updates to last year’s models come via the rear camera array. With a new 48MP primary camera with a quad-pixel sensor and 100 percent Focus Pixels for autofocus, those choosing to upgrade will be privy to sharper photos and videos. Through the magic of computational photography, the primary camera also introduces a new 24MP super-high-resolution default. This option allows shutterbugs to capture incredibly detailed images while saving on storage space. For the first time, the iPhone 15 will also have an additional 2x Telephoto option, providing users with three optical-quality zoom levels: 0.5x, 1x, and 2x.
Another new feature that photographers will find alluring is Apple’s next-generation portraits.
