iPhone 15 Launched: In its recent ‘Wonderlust’ event, Apple launched four new models in the iPhone 15 series in India and other global markets. The new iPhone 15 models will be available from September 22 in India. However, the pre-ordering will start a week before its availability in stores. It was Apple’s first iPhone launch after the tech giant opened its stores in Delhi and Mumbai.
Here’s everything you need to know about the upgrades, features and prices of all models in the iPhone 15 series.
What are the new features of the Apple iPhone 15?

The Diamond Island allows the iPhone user to track their ride, see who’s calling, check their flight, and so much more, according to Apple’s official website.
Camera: The latest Apple iPhone 15 series has a new 48 MP camera which clicks super-high-resolution photos. The 2x Telephoto acts like a third camera, and the 4x Telephoto captures incredible details.
