The four types of iPhone 15 models have not made any major changes but Apple has added enough new bells and whistles to the top-of-the-line model.
Apple Adds Roadside Assistance: Apple announced that it is adding satellite-powered Roadside Assistance for iPhone in partnership with AAA. The feature, available only in the USA, allows iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 users to select from one of several scenarios, e.g. “Locked out,” “no fuel or charge,” or “flat tire” to text an AAA operator even in places where they don’t have a cell signal.
Next Generation Of iPhones
Apple on Tuesday unveiled its next generation of iPhones — a lineup that boasts of better cameras, faster processors, a new charging system, and a price hike for the fanciest model. The new models will also feature an industry-first color-infused back glass with a stunning, textured matte finish, and a new contoured edge on the aluminum enclosure.
Though the four types of iPhone 15 models aren’t making any major leaps in technology, but added enough new bells and whistles to the top-of-the-line model.
Addition of Dynamic Island
By far the biggest change on the iPhone 15 is the addition of the Dynamic Island, the pill-shaped area that covers the front camera and sensors on top of the phone’s display.
Last year, Apple added the Dynamic Island to the iPhone 14 Pro. It was a nifty little pill-shaped widget near the top of the display that could change shape depending on user needs, like for displaying notifications. Now it’s in every iPhone 15 model, and even better, there are new features. Some examples Apple gave included the ability to track a flight before you board or follow Major League Soccer games, which Apple has the streaming rights for.
Apple Introduces USB Type-C Port With iPhone 15
Apple has finally introduced the USB Type-C port to the iPhone with the iPhone 15. This is a major change, as the iPhone has been using the proprietary Lightning port for the past 10 years. Apple says that USB Type-C has become the universal standard for charging and data transfer, and it was the last major smartphone maker to still use the Lightning port.
