The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus includes the dynamic island which was first introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro max models. Dynamic island expands to notify about alerts and also shows you live activities. An example is if you ordered food from Uber, you don't have to go back and forth from the app itself to see the progression of your order. If you have a favourite sports team that you always keep track on, the Dynamic Island pulls up the live score so you don't miss a second.
The main change for the iPhone 15 line up is that it no longer uses a lightning cord to charge the phone. All have been changed to the universal Type-C charging port which promotes faster charging and faster data transfers.

One of the major changes in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models is the removal of the silent switch and the add on of the action button which was added on the Apple Watch Ultra. This new switch is now customizable which you can set up to: turn on the camera app, have it originally as the silent switch, turn on a focus mode, turn on your flashlight quickly, and so much more.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models are now made with lightweight titanium which makes the phone lighter then previous Pro and Pro Max models. With 2 new colours: Natural Titanium and Blue Titanium.
Thoughts:
I have always been impressed by Apples new iPhones especially the Pro and Pro Max models. But for this year seems like there is not much change or there is a change but not enough to wow me. I would only get the Pro Max because of the universal Type-C connector and the titanium frame. I always put several accessories on my phone like the ESR Geo Wallet Stand. Which puts weight and bulk to my already heavy iPhone.
