iPhone 15 & More: Price, features, and everything you need to know

by Atharva Gulhane September 14, 2023

Apple has announced four new iPhone 15 ‘s. We here discuss the price, tech specs, design changes, and more, especially USB-C

The most anticipated smartphones of the year have finally been released by Apple, which announced the iPhone 15, along with the iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, at its September event.

There were claims that Apple would introduce a new “Ultra” designation at the top end.

Apple adopted the same strategy as last year and chose:

iPhone 15
iPhone 15 Plus
iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro Max

iPhone 15 – Design

All four iPhone 15 handsets have received design changes from the previous generation, but none are especially radical. For example, they now have a slight curve on the back edges that should make them slightly more comfortable to hold.

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus gain “an industry-first color-infused back glass with a stunning, textured matte finish,” and now have the Dynamic Island, which was previously a Pro exclusive.

Here’s what the iPhone 15 looks like:

The iPhone 15 is available in the colors black, blue, green, yellow, and pink, as you can see.

As usual, the Pro models have a number of additional physical improvements.

The mute switch has most visibly been replaced by a clickable action button that, by default, silences your phone but can be customized to perform a variety of tasks like launching the Camera app, starting Voice Memos, or turning on Accessibility features.

When you hit the Action button, you’ll get haptic feedback, and the Dynamic Island will provide you with additional visual indications.

Fundamentally, the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are the first iPhone models to be composed of titanium. When compared to stainless steel, this should offer a better strength-to-weight ratio, and sure enough, the weights are lower on both Pro models. (The 15 Pro Max, for instance, weighs 221 grams as opposed to the 240 grams of the 14 Pro Max. That is a decrease of just about 8%. The weight of the 15 Pro has decreased by 9%.)

And now for the iPhone 15 Pro’s color choices. They are called Black Titanium, White Titanium, Blue Titanium, and Natural Titanium on Apple’s website. Why no fascinating colors for the Pro models?

The United States versions all enable dual eSIM and lack a physical SIM slot, just like the iPhone 14 range from 2022. Customers in the United Kingdom do receive physical nano-SIM slots; however, if a SIM card is already inserted, only one eSIM can be used.

iPhone 15 – New Features

USB -C the biggest step towards universality.

The new phones can perform a few tasks that their forerunners were unable to. For example, adding USB-C makes it slightly simpler to utilize a single charger for several Apple products. The Dynamic Island’s features have been increased, and it is now available on all four models (instead of just the Pro handsets last year). The reverse charging feature, though, is arguably the most intriguing change. With it, you can now use your phone to charge an Apple Watch or a pair of 2nd-generation AirPods Pro.

The five finest new iPhone 15 features offer information on the improvements made to the less expensive models.

The Pro models include a ton of design improvements in addition to the brand-new, lightning-fast A17 Pro chip. They also have some really unique photography features. Our favorites are included in the article Best Features of the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.

The environmental arguments made by Apple are also important to note. The four iPhone 15 devices all make use of more recycled materials than earlier models. While the Pro models feature “100% recycled aluminum substructure and 100% recycled cobalt in the battery-both firsts for Apple,” the standard models boast “100% recycled cobalt in the battery and 100 percent recycled copper in the main logic board, copper wire in the Taptic Engine, and copper foil in the inductive charger in MagSafe,” along with impressive claims related to aluminum, gold, and rare earth materials.

Also, they made a lot of claims about energy efficiency, the decrease or elimination of plastic and dangerous chemicals, and their promise to “never again utilize leather in any new Apple goods.” On Apple’s environment page, you may read in detail about this.

These FineWoven accessories are constructed from a micro-twill that emits a great deal less pollution than leather.

iPhone 15 – Tech Specs

These are the new iPhones’ main technical specifications. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the A16 Bionic from the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max is used in the 15 and 15 Plus, while the A17 Pro chip is used in the Pro versions. This is the first Apple chip built using a 3nm process, which results in a far better transistor density and superior power efficiency. Apple even claims it is an industry first.

For all four generations, the change from Lightning to USB-C as the charging and data-transfer connector is quite important. (Apple touted this as a positive move, which it is in many ways, but the corporation was compelled to make the adjustment due to impending regulation.) Due to their support for the USB 3 standard, Pro models will enable quicker data transfers.

Apple talks up the USB-C port it was forced to include instead of Lightning.

iPhone 15 and Series- Pricing

Here are the full prices of the new iPhones. You can check for further details and (from September 15) pre-order on Apple’s website. Note that the 15 Pro Max starts at 256GB of storage, so it isn’t quite as expensive as it seems.

Prices are according to the rate conversion of the time of writing the article. $1= ₹ 83.09

iPhone 15

128GB: $799 / £799 / AU$1,499 – ₹ 66,387.51
256GB: $899 / £899 / AU$1,699 – ₹ 74,696.34
512GB: $1,099 / £1,099 / AU$2,049 – ₹ 91,313.99

iPhone 15 Plus

128GB: $899 / £899 / AU$1,649, – ₹ 74,696.34
256GB: $999 / £999 / AU$1,849 – ₹ 83,005.16
512GB: $1,199 / £1,199 / AU$2,199 – ₹ 99,622.81

iPhone 15 Pro

128GB: $999 / £999 / AU$1,849 – ₹ 83,005.16
256GB: $1,099 / £1,099 / AU$2,049 – ₹ 91,313.99
512GB: $1,299 / £1,299 / AU$2,399 – ₹ 10,7931.64
1TB: $1,499 / £1,499 / AU$2,749 – ₹ 1,24,549.29

iPhone 15 Pro Max

256GB: $1,199 / £1,199 / AU$2,199 – ₹ 99,622.81
512GB: $1,399 / £1,399 / AU$2,549 -₹ 1,16,240.46
1TB: $1,599 / £1,599 / AU$2,899 – ₹ 1,32,858.11

These prices are sometimes more affordable than their 2022 equivalents. The cost of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus increased in 2022, and the Pro and Pro Max remained unchanged in the United States, decreased in the United Kingdom, and increased in Australia.

But as far as we have seen the trend, the cost would be much higher for the Indian launch.

by Gauri Ladda November 23, 2021

written by Gauri Ladda

Seiko WristMac, which was released in 1988, is 26 years older than the Apple Watch, which is thought to be the first Apple wristwatch. Ex Machina Inc and Seiko cooperated in 1988 to create the WristMac, an Apple-inspired smartwatch. The WristMac was used by astronauts on the Atlantis space shuttle, it had a portable Macintosh, and was used to send emails.

The smartwatch was used to remind astronauts on the “Atlantis” mission to take images of a specific feature on Earth or in space, according to a New York Times report.

Now one of these smartwatches is up for auction on ComicConnect.com, with estimates ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 (about Rs 18,62,400). (approximately Rs 37,24,900).

ComicConnect

ComicConnect, which specializes in selling rare comics, is currently auctioning off the Seiko WristMac. Astronauts on the space shuttle Atlantis wore the watch, which was widely regarded as being ahead of its time.

ComicConnect obtained a rare model of the watch that was released as a Macintosh attachment in the early 1990s.

It’s up for auction on the internet, and interested parties can buy it until the auction finishes on December 19, 2021. The watch has been photographed and uploaded to the ComicConnect website, and it does appear to be ahead of its time.

The auctioneers described the black strapped watch with many buttons as “a very rare 1988 Seiko / Ex Machina WristMac.”

The watch is described as “one of the earliest pieces of wearable computing technology” on the website. The watch has 27 bids as of 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday, with the highest call being USD 800 (approximately Rs 59,570).

Detailed information on the Seiko WristMac:

According to the website, the watch was a forerunner of the Macintosh Portable, which was released in 1989 and was the first battery-powered Macintosh as well as the first portable Apple computer.

According to the website, the Apple Watch, which has gone through seven iterations as of October 2021, was first released as an ide with the WristMac 25 years prior to the Apple Watch.

The crew aboard the Atlantis Space Shuttle wore Seiko WristMac watches to coordinate with the Macintosh Portable and Apple Link software aboard the shuttle, according to the website.

Apple iPhone SE 3 is expected to have 5G and the A15 Bionic SoC, but no design changes.

by Atharva Gulhane October 11, 2021

written by Atharva Gulhane

According to reports, the next-generation Apple iPhone SE 3 will have 5G and the Bionic Chipset A15, which is also included in the new-generation iPhone 13 series. According to Macotakara, a Japanese blog and Apple watcher, the next iPhone SE 3 will have the same look. According to Macotakara, the manufacture of the next iPhone SE will begin in December, with shipping beginning in April 2022. The new leak backs up an old rumor from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who stated that the upcoming iPhone SE will include a 5G connection.

There were rumors that the upcoming iPhone SE will include a 5.5-inch display and a Touch ID side button at one time. Last year, for example, Kuo proposed the creation of an “iPhone SE Plus.” The SE-series was last updated in 2020 when it got a major upgrade. Apple now employs a flat-edged design for the iPhone 12 and 13 series, which was first seen on the iPhone SE.

Apple’s ‘affordable’ smartphone iPhone SE was available at a discounted price of Rs 25,999 (MRP Rs 39,900) for the base 64GB storage model during the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale. The other iPhone SE variants that were released last year were priced at Rs 30,999 for the 128GB storage option and Rs 40,999 for the 256GB storage option. The sales are part of Flipkart’s ongoing Curtain Raiser, which features discounts on select smartphones and electronics. Customers were able to save money on the iPhone SE by taking advantage of sale offers such as exchange deals and instant discounts.

With a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, the Apple iPhone SE is one of the few compact smartphones available today. True Tone, which adjusts the display according to ambient lighting, as well as Dolby Vision and HDR10 compatibility, are all available on this display. It is powered by the Apple A13 Bionic chip, which is also used in the Apple iPhone 11 series.

Apple's MacBook Pro 2021 Prototype Leaked

Apple News

Apple’s MacBook Pro 2021 Prototype has leaked online, revealing several crucial characteristics before its debut.

by Atharva Gulhane October 10, 2021

written by Atharva Gulhane

Apple has been working on its next-generation MacBook Pro devices for some time, and the company is anticipated to unveil the new laptops later this month, powered by Apple Silicon’s undisclosed M1X chipset.

A prototype of the forthcoming Apple MacBook Pro has leaked online, confirming the MacBook Pro model with serial number DVT-X88102C, where DVT stands for Design Validation Testing (DVT), a prototyping step prior to Production Validation Testing.

It was also disclosed that the gadget has 32GB of RAM, with the firm promising up to 2TB of storage. The design of the next laptops is also likely to be updated.

Apple’s new M1X chipset, as well as two new MacBook Pro models, were supposed to be released in the last several months, but were repeatedly delayed due to production difficulties, and are now likely to be released in the next weeks.

Apple’s MacBook Pro 2021 Prototype

Apple’s next MacBook Pro models are likely to include an all-new design and two display options: 14-inch and 16-inch Mini-LED displays. They’ll have a flat-edged design, a MagSafe charging port, and a few extra connections, including a USB port and more HDMI and an SD-card slot reader.

The M1X chipset may have a 10-core CPU with eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, as well as 16 or 32-core GPU choices and up to 64GB RAM support.

According to sources, Ruiyi Optoelectronics will be the sole provider of new Mini-LED panels, while Quanta Computer will be in charge of the final assembly of the next MacBook devices.

Aside from the MacBook, Apple has a couple more Mac products in the works. It was previously anticipated that the Cupertino-based tech giant will release a new high-end Mac Mini soon after the MacBook Pro, followed by a new iMac and Mac Pro next year.

Bitcoin Fraudsters Theft of $60,000 using iPhone 13

by Gauri Ladda September 23, 2021

written by Gauri Ladda

Bitcoin Fraudsters Theft of $60k using iPhone 13, the original Apple website doesn’t have any bitcoin giveaway event for iPhone 13 users.

It’s a Scam!

It is reported that fraudsters had organized a deceitful giveaway event, a fake Apple website, and claimed free Bitcoin to shame unsuspecting iPhone13 fans.

AppleInsider says that those seeking the Apple Event on 14 September might have stumbled into a watchful stream, showing recent interviews with Apple CEO Tim Cook rather than the California Stream, everyone who stayed by and watched the video must have been popped up with a message persuading them to visit this fraud website – at www.2021.apple.org.

All visitors had to do was deliver 0.1 to 20 Bitcoin by a QR code to take it back twice. More than $69k was sent to the Bitcoin wallet revealing that the program was extremely successful. No crypto in the fake wallet of Apple has been returned. As per an online firm for security issues called ZScaler, 1.48299884 bitcoin, which is valued at $69k was received from the account, this was clearly Bitcoin Fraudsters Theft.

Bitcoin Fraudsters Theft

Visitors with certain basic knowledge could detect multiple website failures, from grammar difficulties and the incorrect website address. But most of the visitors with hype or in loss of knowledge have made an obvious raise of this website easily.

We have had a similar story before, there has been an outbreak of YouTube-based frauds around Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies several years ago tricking users to authentic websites by advertisements. The real start of Apple’s lifetime was followed by some 16,000 people. In the measure it had 1,3 million subscribers, the channel was established in an extremely advanced way with the appropriate logos and wording. The Channel has repeatedly connected a website during the event, which has again been designed to look like Apple’s online webpage, and with its URL “apple,” with the exception – and this is astonishing people have fallen for, isn’t it? The value of the crypt is approximately $42 million.

This strategy seems quite disrupted but came back in a new way during the revelation on Apple iPhone 13. The site of the fraudster is currently taken down and will probably stay after the successful thievery of $69,000 in Bitcoin.
