Top 7 Things to Know About iPhone 15

It is time to discuss Apple’s latest launch, the iPhone 15. Unveiled at the 2023 Apple event, the iPhone 15 comes with design and performance upgrades to elevate the user experience and keep up with some of the changes in smartphone technology. The highly anticipated smartphone is worth exploring to understand how it stands out among the previous generation iPhones. So, here is a look at some of the key features of the iPhone 15:

1. Availability
All four models in the lineup: the base iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max are available for purchase at the moment. One can find the phones on the Apple website, top retail platforms, and network carrier websites.

2. Price
In the country, the starting price for the iPhone 15 is $799, while the iPhone Plus starts at $899. The base storage variants of the Pro and Pro Max models are priced at $999 and $1,099, respectively. This does not come as a surprise since the prices of new iPhones in the country have more or less been consistent since 2017. However, one can make the most of Apple’s trade-in deals and save money on their purchase by exchanging an older iPhone.

3. Design and performance upgrades
A key highlight of the standard iPhone 15 models is the Dynamic Island on the display, which was previously limited to the Pro models. A new, faster A17 Bionic chipset powers the Pro variants, while the standard models retain the A16 chip with minor performance enhancements. Apple claims that the Pro models are easier to repair now because of the titanium surface, which is accompanied by an aluminum internal frame that improves heat dissipation and the repairability of the back glass. Additionally, the standard models come with matte glass for the back in 5 color options—pink, yellow, blue, green, and black, whereas the Pro models are available in four titanium colors—white, black, natural, and blue.

4. Display specs
In contrast to the Pro models, the standard models do not have the ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate or the always-on display function, but all four models come with OLED screens. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro get 6.1-inch screens, while the remaining two models come with 6.7-inch screens. Accordingly, the former two come with a resolution of 2556×1179, while the 6.7-inch models have a resolution of 2,796×1,290.

5. Charging and battery
As the EU law has mandated that Apple products should come with the industry-standard port by 2024, the brand has replaced its long-standing proprietary Lightning port with the USB-C. Apple has finally replaced its Lightning Port with a USB-C port. Further, the phones are compatible with 15W MagSafe charging and Qi2 wireless charging. When it comes to battery upgrades, the base model comes with a 3,349 mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 Plus gets a 4,383 mAh battery. The iPhone 15 Pro gets a 3,274 mAh battery, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max is equipped with a 4,422 mAh battery.

6. Camera
Apple has introduced changes to the dual-lens camera system in the iPhone 15 models, with a new 48-megapixel main camera. Further, the standard models come with a 2x lossless zoom mode. The Pro models have a triple-lens camera system, while the standard models have a dual-lens system. Additionally, the iPhone 15 Pro has a 12MP Telephoto camera with 3x zoom, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with a Telephoto system enabling 5x zoom. Further, a sharper night mode and higher quality portrait images can be expected in the Pro models.

7. RAM
The standard iPhone 15 models come with 6GB RAM, just like their predecessors. However, Apple offers an additional 2GB RAM in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. 

One can explore all four options and choose the most suitable one based on personal requirements, design preferences, and budget. It is easy to find the iPhone 15 online, so one can buy the smartphone on the Apple website, top retail platforms, or certain carrier websites. Apple and a few network providers are known to offer great trade-in deals of up to $1,000 for the Pro versions and up to $800 for the basic iPhones.

Causes of multiple sclerosis The exact cause of multiple sclerosis is still uncertain. However, some factors that cause this disorder are as follows: Immune system If the immune system is compromised, it may attack the CNS. The myelin protective sheath is affected, thereby disrupting the functioning of your brain, resulting in multiple sclerosis. Infection Certain viruses and bacteria can cause multiple sclerosis. Some viruses cause inflammation that breaks down the myelin, triggering multiple sclerosis. It is possible that brain-cell-like bacteria and viruses can cause the immune system to erroneously identify normal cells as foreign cells, thereby destroying them. Some of the viruses and bacteria that can cause multiple sclerosis include Epstein-Barr virus, measles viruses, and human herpesvirus-6 causing disorders like roseola. Genetics One can be highly susceptible to multiple sclerosis if one has a family history of this disorder. The possibility of one developing this disorder in such instances increases by 2.5% to 5% in the country.
