The iPhone 15 will feature a USB-C charging port, replacing the Lightning cord, in response to pressure from the EU, making borrowing chargers from older iPhone models more difficult.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to have a smaller battery capacity than previously rumored, but the use of a 3nm fabrication process and stacked battery technology could still improve battery life by up to 20%.
Apple is set to release the iPhone 15 with incremental improvements including a lighter design, better chip, battery life, camera, and a USB-C charging cable, but the smartphone market is slowing down as people hold on to their devices longer and there is less incentive to upgrade.
Apple's newly launched iPhone 15 series does not come with improved battery life compared to the previous iPhone 14 series, suggesting that the battery capacities may have remained the same or potentially even decreased.
The iPhone 15 Pro is a significant upgrade over the iPhone 14 Pro, offering a titanium design, USB-C port, Action button, and improved camera capabilities, making it a worthy consideration for users looking to upgrade.
Apple has announced new features for the iPhone 15, including USB-C charging ports, a Roadside Assistance feature for car emergencies, and Precision Finding to locate friends in crowded spaces.
The Chinese regulatory database reveals that the iPhone 15 has a 3,349mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 Pro has a 3,274mAh battery, and Apple's official battery life estimates for the iPhone 15 models are the same as the iPhone 14 models.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro can now charge from 0 to 100% in under two hours with a USB-C cable, and the USB-C port allows for significantly more power output to accessories, expanding the possibilities for iPhone accessories.
For the first time, iPhone 15 users will be able to easily check their battery's cycle count through the settings, providing valuable information about the battery's condition and usage.
The iPhone 15 will introduce new features and replace the Lightning charging cord with the universal standard USB-C, complying with European regulations and reducing the need for multiple charging cables.

The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have been reported to overheat due to Apple's lower standards for the A17 Pro chip, resulting in thermal throttling and potential decreased battery life.
Some users of the iPhone 15 are experiencing overheating issues while charging, with reports of the device becoming "almost too hot to touch."
Apple may be using cheaper batteries with lower charge cycle counts in the iPhone 14 and 15 series, which could explain the reported lower battery capacity in these devices after less than a year of ownership.
The iPhone 15 is praised for its impressive camera, sleek design, and the transition to a USB-C charger, making it one of the best smartphones available and an appealing choice for Android users wanting to switch to iOS.
