It boasts a dual-camera system with a 48 MP Fusion camera and 12 MP Ultra Wide lens.
It introduces USB-C, Dynamic Island, and comes in five colors.
Its the kind of subtle-but-not-so-subtle flex Apple loves to pull.
Protect and accessorize your iPad with these versatile cases.
This fresh design isn’t just for looks though.
By arranging the lenses in a line, Apple’s engineered the hardware to support immersive 3D-like footage.
The Apple iPhone 15 is a flagship smartphone featuring a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, A16 Bionic chip, and a dual-camera system with a 48MP main sensor. It introduces USB-C, Dynamic Island, and comes in five colors.
Apple’s also borrowed a page from last year’s Pro models with the new Action button.
I’d say that durability sees a glow-up too.
But then again, they say that every year, so just take it with a pinch of salt.
I mean sure, all these changes are super welcome.
Are they enough for an upgrade, though?
Purely design-wise, that would be a hard no, especially if you already have a 15.
The biggest change is the 16’s screen now gets wildly bright.
We’re talking2,000 nits at peak brightness,which is nuts.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the refresh rate.
Sadly,both phones are stuck at 60Hz instead of the 120Hz you get on the iPhone 16 Pro.
Makes sense, because Apple being Apple, probably just needs reasons for people to upgrade to the Pro.
Still, it’s a really annoying quirk that they have going on.
Performance
Performance is where things get slightly interesting.
The new 16 comes with an A18 chip, which is a massive improvement over last year’s A17.
The graphics power is no slouch either on the iPhone 16.
It put up average frame rates of 60 fps running the intense GFXBench Aztec Ruins graphics benchmark.
Then again, it’s Apple, so the way that they utilize memory consumption is much more eloquent.
Finally, the dedicated Capture Control button is a game-changer for photography fans.
For people who take their iPhone photography seriously, it should make a big difference in responsiveness and quality.
The configs for the button might take some time getting used to, though.
