Display

Performance
The iPhone 15 is powered by the Apple A16 Bionic processor, featuring a 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine.
The CPU uses 20 percent less power and the GPU has 50 percent more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation.
Out of the box, it runs iOS 17, receiving multi-year software and security support.
Camera
The primary main camera is upgraded to 48 MP with sensor-shift optical image stabilization (OIS), outputting 24 MP default high-resolution images. This was a hardware exclusive for Pro models in previous generations.
