Finally, the iPhone 15 is out. It has a design that feels just right. The aerospace-grade aluminum frame is highly durable, and the new contoured edges feel even better in your hand. The innovative new design features back glass with colour infused throughout the material. A custom dual ion exchange process for the glass and an aerospace-grade aluminum enclosure help make iPhone 15 incredibly durable. Using chemistry, Apple perfected the creation of colour. Superfine metallic ions embed colour into the glass — with a unique formulation for each colour. Then, the glass is polished with nanocrystalline particles and etched to create a textured matte finish. The phone measures 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm and weighs 171g. Moreover, 75% recycled aluminum is in the enclosure and available in Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink.
Apple iPhone 15 is dependably durable. The Ceramic Shield front is tougher than any smartphone glass. The Apple phone is remarkably resistant. iPhone 15 is splash, water, and dust resistant.
Dynamic Island bubbles up alerts and Live Activities — so you don’t miss them while doing something else. You can track your next ride, see who’s calling, check your flight status, and more.
The Super Retina XDR OLED, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 1000 nits (HBM), and 2000 nits (peak) are perfect on the iPhone 15. If ever you sought an immersive experience, you will not miss it with the super display on the new handset. Your user experience is even more enhanced on the thin-bezelled, 6.1-inch, 91.3 cm2 (~86.4% screen-to-body ratio) screen. With 1179 x 2556 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~461 ppi density) resolution, playing games, watching videos and browsing through multi-media will be more than just fun as you indulge and immerse yourself in such HD+ resolution. Moreover, a Ceramic Shield glass protects the high-resolution Super Retina XDR OLED screen, making it scratch and break-free from accidental falls.

Check-In automatically notifies your friend or family member when you arrive at your destination, such as your home.

Find the message you’re looking for faster by combining search filters to narrow your search quickly. A new way to share and view locations: Share your location or request a friend’s location from the plus button. View it directly within your conversation when someone shares a location with you. Read an audio message transcription; audio messages are now transcribed, so you can read them at the moment and listen later.

Record a video or audio message when someone misses your FaceTime call. Add a reaction that fills the camera frame with fun 3D augmented reality effects like hearts, confetti, fireworks, and more. And you can share a response with just a hand gesture. Use your iPhone as a camera and start a call directly from the FaceTime app on Apple TV, or hand off the call from your iPhone to your TV.
Take advantage of the new full-screen experience. Turn your iPhone on its side while charging to make it even more helpful when you set it down.
