iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus: new features
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus include a revamped Dynamic Island, which was previously exclusive to the high-end iPhone 14 Pro models. The iPhone 15 models are the first iPhones to use USB-C instead of Lightning for wired charging and connectivity.
Both models come with a major camera upgrade, with a new 48-megapixel (MP) main camera, similar to the one introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro models, compared to the 12MP cameras from previous standard models. The phones can use the middle 12MP of the 48MP sensor to crop into a photo, effectively offering optical 2x zoom.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus run on the A16 Bionic processor that ran the iPhone 14 Pro models. Apple also included its new 2nd-gen ultra-wideband chip for more precise location functionality in Find My.

The standard models are available in pink, yellow, blue, green, and black. Both models feature a new softer contoured edge design and a display that's twice as bright as their iPhone 14 counterparts.
Apple added a new Roadside Assistance via Satellite feature to the phones through a partnership with AAA to assist you when your car has broken down.
