They come in shades of pink, yellow, green, blue, and black, with a more pronounced pastel tone compared to previous versions.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max on the other hand, come in black titanium, white titanium, blue titanium, and natural titanium due to their titanium-based design.

This titanium design has also made the iPhone 15 Pro series the lightest Pro models Apple has ever released, according to Apple.
Action button
Apple is introducing a new action button to replace the silent switch, allowing users to customise its functions.

These functions include switching between silent and vibrate modes, activating the flashlight, and accessing the camera, among others.
However, if you prefer the older silent switch, both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will still include it.
Spatial videos and photos
The Pro models boast the capability to capture 3D spatial videos and photos, thanks to the new A17 Pro chip, which promises improved performance and efficiency.
These spatial media can be experienced through the Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, set to be released in early 2024.
