In contrast, the iPhone 15 has the A16 Bionic SoC, which has a 6-core CPU for improved performance and two high-performance cores that tout a 20% decrease in battery usage. With its remarkable 16 cores, Apple's Neural Engine can process around 17 trillion operations per second.
The upgraded camera system in the iPhone 15 has a 48MP primary camera with a quad-pixel sensor and 100 per cent Focus Pixels for quick autofocus. Apple has dramatically increased the brightness to an astonishing 2000 nits, double the previous generation's potential even if the display size, at 6.1 inches, stays the same.
The iPhone 15's usage of Dynamic Island technology, which takes the place of the notch seen on the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models, is one of its notable features. According to Apple, using this new technology will provide people a more natural way to utilise their iPhones. Apple is also switching to the USB Type-C technology for charging, marking a departure from the proprietary lightning connector found on the iPhone 14 series.
Apple has launched the iPhone 15 and iPhone at a starting price of Rs 79,900 and Rs 89,900 respectively in India. In comparison, the iPhone 14 is available on the company's official website for a price of Rs 69,900 and the iPhone 14 Plus is available for Rs 79,900.
