The iPhone 15 battery life and charging
When it comes to battery life, the iPhone 15 Pro will last for an entire day, Apple claims. Apple has also done away with its lightning port for charging, with many seeing it as an adaptation owing to the European Union rules that will require smartphones and other electronic devices to have a USB-C port by the end of 2024 at the latest, with consumer savings and less wastage in mind.
The USB-C charging port on the iPhone 15 series will enable USB 3 transfer rates of up to 10 gigabits per second.
Apple had pushed back against the rule change in the past, saying it would stifle innovation, but the new iPhone 15 series are adhering to the EU rules at present.
The Pro models are likely to be 10 per cent lighter than the predecessor because of the use of titanium.
The phone will be available in four colour options, black titanium, white titanium, blue titanium, and natural titanium.
What is new in the iPhone 15 series
Apple also introduced its new Action button on the Pro series, replacing the mute switch that was used to toggle between silent and ringing mode. The action button will let users control various functions including silent mode, flashlight, focus mode, activating voice memos, and more.
Gamers will fins more value in the iPhone 15 Pro series as the new iPhone can handle intense mobile gaming requirements as well. Until now, popular titles such as Resident Evil and Assassin’s Creed were only thought possible on a console, but the iPhone 15 Pro will make it possible to enjoy those games on a mobile phone.
The iPhone 15 series will go on sale in India on September 22 onwards. You can also pre-order thedevices from September 15, at 5:30 PM onwards.
