After a long wait, the iPhone 15 series was introduced, and here we provide a comprehensive review of these new Apple phones.
Introduction of iPhone 15
On September 12, 2023, Apple introduced four models: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. These phones have been improved in many aspects, which has increased their purchase value. However, it should be noted that, based on current information, the iPhone 15 series, like the 14 series models, will not be registered (for use in some countries).
Design of iPhone 15 and 15 Plus
The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have undergone several important changes, which have made these phones seem more complete. The first change is the use of Grade 5 Titanium instead of stainless steel for the side frame, which has both greater resistance and less weight. This change has led to a 19-gram weight reduction in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max compared to the previous generation.
Although the overall design of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus has not changed much, there are two fundamental differences. The first change is the slightly more curved edges, which make the phone fit better in the hand and are less bothersome. The second change is the matte finish of the back glass, which features a matte, rather than a glossy, look, and this change results in fewer fingerprints remaining on it and conveys a better feel to the user.

The second change is the matte finish of the titanium frame, which no longer gets dirty and adds more beauty to the phones. Furthermore, the frame of these models is also slightly curved instead of being completely flat, so that it fits more comfortably in the hand.
Display and Brightness
All four iPhone 15 models feature the Dynamic Island, and the Pro versions have fewer bezels than before. The screen-to-body ratio on the iPhone 15 Pro Max has increased from 88% to 90%. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have also been improved in terms of bezels around the display, but this change is not as noticeable compared to the Pro models.
The Action Button in Pro Models
In the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, the traditional mute button has been replaced with a new button called “Action.” This button is customizable and can be used for muting, a camera shortcut, turning on the flashlight, and other tasks.
Final Word
The iPhone 15 was expected to be introduced three weeks later and released to the market a month after that, but it seems we have to wait until Mehr (October) for the introduction and release of this phone. Reports indicate that problems with the supply of iPhone 15 Pro Max camera sensors by Sony are the cause of this delay. Rumors also suggest major changes to the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera and the addition of a periscope camera with optical zoom.
The published images of the iPhone 15 Pro show that it does not differ much from the iPhone 14 Pro in terms of appearance. The iPhone 15 Pro Max still has three cameras on the back and uses the pill-shaped notch (known as the Dynamic Island). Furthermore, the USB-C port has replaced the Lightning port.
