It is already a tradition that every year Apple renews its entire iPhone range, with the four main models that we have on the table right now. This September 12, the long-awaited Apple Event was held where the new generation of iPhone 15 was presented. And within these, The models that are more ‘modest’ are the iPhone 15 and 15 Pluswhich can be considered the younger brothers of the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.
It is true that we are in a moment where we cannot expect great developments that will represent a great revolution. Although logically today we have seen advances that make this iPhone evolve compared to the previous model. Some of these (as is also tradition) were known through rumors.

An important design change that focuses on the screen
Last year we saw a major change in the design of the iPhone 14, but only in the Pro and Pro Max version. In both cases The notch on the screen disappeared to make way for what is known as Dynamic Island that there was integration with the operating system so that different cards could emerge from the tab such as an incoming call, a notification and more. Now this Dynamic Island comes to the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus a year later in a true debut that will allow these iPhones to stop being seen as ‘outdated’.
Regarding the screen, there are no important changes when opting for a Super Retina XDR with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, with screen sizes of 6.1″ for the iPhone 15 and 6.7″ for the iPhone 15 Plus. And these size characteristics (and also battery) are where, once again, the differences between both devices will reside. Both have a maximum brightness in HDR of 1,600 nits that can go up to 2,000 nits.
A reused chip for these iPhone 15 that does not promise improvements in autonomy
In terms of performance we are not going to have any changes with these new iPhones. From Apple they have chosen keep the A16 Bionic chip in both devices which included the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. This is very bad news, although it will allow them to move much further away from the ‘Pro’ range, giving it more advantages.
This will also directly affect the battery. And although it is true that Apple It does not usually report the amount of RAM or battery that includes, it can be predicted that we are facing identical hardware by including the same A16 Bionic. And this translates into conservative autonomy, as it does not have greater efficiency.
