Design
This device closely resembles the iPhone 14 in terms of appearance. While the premium titanium frame is reserved for the Pro models, the standard retains its robust aerospace-grade aluminum frame.
The back panel boasts a textured matte finish thanks to nanocrystalline particles, and it carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. The phone is available in five color options: Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink.
Display
In terms of display, it inherits the 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR screen from the iPhone 14 Pro, offering an FHD+ resolution (2556 x 1179 pixels), HDR10, Dolby Vision, 2,000 nits peak brightness, and Ceramic Shield glass protection. The refresh rate, unfortunately, remains at 60Hz, unlike the Pro models with higher refresh rates. The introduction of Dynamic Island marks the end of the large notch.
Performance & Memory
Powering the device is Apple’s A16 Bionic chip, although it’s not as advanced as the A17 Pro chip found in the Pro models. The A16 Bionic, built on a 4nm process, features a hexa-core architecture with two high-performance Everest cores at 3.46GHz and four efficient Sawtooth cores at 2.0GHz. The graphics tasks are handled by a 5-core GPU from Apple. The phone runs on the latest iOS 17, offering various improvements and customization options.
Cameras
It retains a dual-camera setup, but the primary camera gets an upgrade with a 48MP sensor. This camera introduces a 24MP super-high-res mode by default, delivering excellent image quality in a practical file size.
To compensate for the lack of a dedicated zoom unit, the vanilla model offers a 2X telephoto option. The front camera is a 12MP TrueDepth camera on the Dynamic Island, serving as a 3D face scanner for biometric security.
Rest of the Specs
In line with EU regulations, Apple has adopted a USB-C port across the entire 15 series, replacing the Lightning port. However, the standard model is equipped with a slower USB 2.0 port, while the Pro models benefit from a faster USB 3.0 connection. The phone supports reverse charging via a USB-C to USB-C cable for charging updated AirPods Pro and Apple Watch.
Battery sizes remain undisclosed, with charging speeds capped at 20W wired and 15W via MagSafe. The phone continues to offer satellite connectivity, crash detection, and emergency SOS features and introduces “Roadside Assistance” using satellite connection for calling help in remote areas with no cellular coverage.

Conclusion- The Phone offers a familiar design with enhancements like a more powerful A16 Bionic chip and an upgraded camera system. While retaining the signature iPhone aesthetics, it introduces a refreshed display with Dynamic Island, bidding farewell to the larger notch.
