It should be noted that this A2846 iPhone 15 model supports 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n14, n20, n25, n26, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n53, n66, n70, n71, n75, n76, n77, n78, and n79, in addition to 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261 (which are exclusive to this model). It is designed for carriers in the United States and Puerto Rico but is technically functional with global carriers that support eSIM, as it lacks a hardware nano-SIM slot.
All iPhone 15 variants have a 6.1-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch capable "Super Retina XDR" display (2556x1179, 460 ppi) that covers nearly the entire front of the device. It has three cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, located in the "Dynamic Island," supports Face ID, features an f/1.9 aperture, captures 12-megapixel photos, and shoots 4K video. The rear is fitted with a 4K-capable "advanced dual-camera system" with a 48-megapixel "Main" camera (f/1.6 aperture) and a 12-megapixel "Ultra Wide" camera (f/2.4 aperture, 120-degree field of view).
The iPhone 15 has an aluminum frame with a "contoured edge" and flat sides, with a glass front and a "color-infused" glass back. The front is protected by a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability, and the back features an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connector. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to a maximum depth of 6 meters for 30 minutes). It is available in five color options: pale shades of Blue, Pink, Yellow, and Green, as well as Black.
Internally, the iPhone 15 is powered by a 3.5 GHz "Apple A16 Bionic" processor, with a six-core CPU (two performance and four efficiency cores), a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It is equipped with 6 GB of RAM and is available with 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of flash storage. The device also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, "second generation" Ultra Wideband, NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve" for compatible transit systems, Crash Detection, Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance via satellite, a USB-C port, and dual eSIM functionality (it does not support physical SIM cards at all).
Apple's battery life estimates for the iPhone 15 are up to 80 hours of audio playback, 20 hours of video playback, and 16 hours of streamed video playback.
