Apple has unveiled the latest additions to its smartphone offerings, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, featuring industry-leading durability features, the Dynamic Island advanced camera system, and innovative satellite infrastructure for roadside assistance. With the A16 Bionic chip and two high-performance cores that use 20 percent less power and four high-efficiency cores, the 6-core CPU is faster than the previous generation and easily handles intensive tasks. A new 16-core Neural Engine is capable of nearly 17 trillion operations per second, enabling even faster machine learning computations for features like Live Voicemail transcriptions in iOS 17 and third-party app experiences. Both phones are also equipped with the Secure Enclave for protecting critical privacy and security features.
Both models feature the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, enabling two iPhone devices with this chip to connect at three times the range as before. This enables location sharing even in crowds.
iPhone 15 models continue to deliver a high-quality, superfast 5G experience and improved audio quality on phone calls, including those made on FaceTime or third-party apps. Sound quality gets even better when users select Voice Isolation to come through loud and clear, even if they are somewhere noisy.
In most countries, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus boast eSIM functionalites, a more convenient and secure alternative to a physical SIM card. In the US, an exclusive eSIM-only model is available to customers. When traveling the world, users can stay connected through affordable international roaming plans from their existing carrier, or purchase prepaid eSIM plans in over 50 countries and regions, including Australia, Italy, Thailand, and more.
