Delhi : During Apple's 'Wonderlust' launch event on Tuesday, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus were introduced to the world. Both phones have several noticeable hardware improvements over the iPhone models from the previous year. These include the 48-megapixel primary camera, Dynamic Island, and the company's A16 Bionic chipset, all of which were included on the Pro models from the previous year. All of Apple's iPhone models this year use a USB Type-C connection, making them the first smartphones to ship without the company's exclusive Lightning charging port.

With a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and Ceramic Shield material for added protection, the iPhone 15 is a dual SIM (Nano) smartphone. The Dynamic Island, which was first featured on the iPhone 14 Pro models last year, has also been added by Apple to the iPhone 15 this year. The handset features an IP68 classification for dust and water protection, and the display has a maximum brightness of 2000 nits. The 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display on the iPhone 15 Plus is larger.
