The regular iPhone 15 smartphones also come equipped with a 48-megapixel primary camera and Apple’s A16 Bionic chip that made its debut on the iPhone 14 Pro models.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are yet to go on sale in India and global markets. Pre-orders open on September 15, while the phones go on sale on September 22. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 is currently being sold through the company’s online store, e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart, and authorized retail channels.
