Apple’s iPhone 15 event is over, and it was great.
All iPhone 15 models finally have USB-C ports! The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have been updated to the Dynamic Island notch and have a new 48 MP main camera. Its sensor is smaller than the pros’ 48MP unit though, but fits in at 24MP by default.
Pros have seen the biggest upgrades. The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max ditch the heavy stainless steel for a stronger, more durable and lightweight titanium alloy with a brushed finish in four colors: black, white, blue and natural titanium.
The biggest upgrades to the Pro line are the cameras and the A17 Pro chipset. Starting with the latter, it is the world’s first 3nm SoC and has a 10% faster processor and up to 20% faster graphics .
Both new Pros have a new 48MP main camera with larger sensor and new ultrawide whooters, while the Pro Max has a unique 5x telephoto lens, courtesy of a tetraprism periscope design. This camera is a revolution in zooming on an iPhone, and Apple spent years designing it.
Finally, we have the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Watch Ultra 2. The biggest update to these smart wearables is the S9 system in package (SiP) with 60% more transistors than the outgoing S8 series chip. It boasts a 30% faster GPU and a new 4-core NPU.
But that’s not all: The S9’s SiP allows Siri requests to be processed on the device, which means much faster results since they’re not going back and forth to the cloud. Apple also promises 25% more accurate voice dictation.
Double-tap is arguably the new killer feature on the Series 9. It’s a new pinch gesture that uses your thumb and forefinger similar to the way you use the Apple Vision Pro headset.
