iPhone 15 series: What's the hype about?

The iPhone 15 series introduced a slew of awe-inspiring upgrades over their predecessors, the iPhone 14 lineup. The iPhone 15 sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, while the Plus model comes with a slightly larger 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display.

Both handsets will be available for purchase in three storage options, including 128GB, 256 GB and 512 GB. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are slated to go on sale in India on September 22 onwards. You can pre-order the devices from September 15.

Moreover, Apple is offering iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus in five appealing colour options, including pink, yellow, green, blue and black. Both handsets pack the A16 Bionic chipset under the hood. It is worth noting that the same chipset powers the iPhone 14 Pro models.

Interestingly, the non-Pro iPhone 15 series models bear a striking resemblance to their respective predecessors. However, the Cupertino-based tech company has replaced the usual notch with a Dynamic Island even on the base iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models this year.

The Dynamic Island notch was limited to the Pro models last year. Aside from this, the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus house a dual camera setup featuring a 48MP sensor on the back. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, on the other hand, feature a 12MP rear-mounted camera.

Aside from this, there's a new 2x Telephoto option. So, it is safe to say that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have received significant upgrades in the camera department. Apple claims the non-Pro models will capture better portraits and offer improved night photography.
