Here are some of the highlights from the event:

iPhone 15: A New Design and a USB-C Port

The iPhone 15 is the most advanced smartphone ever made by Apple, featuring a new design, a faster processor, a better camera system, and a longer battery life. The iPhone 15 has a 6.1-inch OLED display with a notch that houses the Face ID sensor and the TrueDepth camera. The back of the phone is made of ceramic shield, which is four times more resistant to drops than glass. The phone also has a flat-edge design that resembles the iPhone 4 and 5.

One of the most notable changes in the iPhone 15 is the switch from the Lightning charging port to a USB-C port. This is in compliance with the European Union common charger laws, which require all smartphones to have a standard charging port. The USB-C port also enables faster data transfer and compatibility with other devices.

The iPhone 15 is powered by the A16 Bionic chip, which is the fastest chip ever in a smartphone. The chip has a six-core CPU, a four-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine that can perform up to 15.8 trillion operations per second. The chip also supports 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2.

For example, users can double tap their wrist to answer or decline calls, pause or resume music playback, or activate Siri.

The Apple Watch Series 9 also has on-device Siri, which means that users can use voice commands without an internet connection. On-device Siri can access and log health data privately and securely, such as heart rate, blood oxygen level, sleep quality, and more.
