The iPhone 15 series, which some Apple fans liked and others did not satisfy, caused Apple to be stoned this year for copying the previous model, as it does every year. However, users who picked up the phones were able to find usage scenarios for the unique features of the series from the very first days.
When we talk about its unique features, we need to underline it. Because the iPhone 15 series has some features that we are not used to seeing – or at such a professional level – in different phones. These features, which can completely change your usage scenario, can replace a large number of equipment, especially in certain areas.
Battery health, as we know, is the bleeding wound of iPhones.
Battery usage limitations in the iPhone 15 family also aim to solve this problem. In this context, in addition to limiting your battery charge to 80 percent, your phone can do this automatically, optimizing it according to your usage scenario.
Seeing the Charging Cycle and first use date
Let’s continue with the battery. When you look at the battery settings of your iPhone 15, you can now see how many kilometers it has traveled, that is, how many times it has cycled (how many times it has been charged from 0 to 100) without the need for any program. Just above this is the date the phone was first used, and above that is the production time.
This will be the first place buyers will look, especially in second-hand sales.
Different lenses in the camera
We see 2 popular camera lenses on the iPhone 15s and 3 on the Pros. You can set 1x (24 mm), 1.2x (28 mm) and 1.5x (35mm) as default. Apart from this, the 3x telephoto lens and 5x (120 mm) lenses allow you to optically zoom your photos without losing quality.
These lenses, which are very useful for photographs, will also be surprisingly useful for video.
For example, in the scenario above, you can see that the 5x zoom we mentioned is made with the action mode. Tyler Stalman, who keeps the subject in the middle with this zoom, walks around the subject and, with the help of the action mode, obtains a very fluid, stable and immersive image. Moreover, it achieves this with a very simple experiment.
Ability to change focus later
If you are someone like me who has used the HTC One M8 before, you remember the feature we know as UFocus. For those who don’t know, this feature, with the benefit of the dual camera on the M8, allowed us to change the focus point when viewing a photo in the gallery after taking it. Of course, this feature was quickly forgotten as the company fell behind in the smartphone market.
As a benefit of the iPhone 15’s advanced portrait mode, the phone now stores portrait data along with the image. This makes it possible to change the focus later. Although the aperture value could be changed in previous iPhones, there was no such feature.
Ability to record video directly on the storage unit (4K 60 FPS ProRes)
Here we are faced with one of the blessings of the type-c input found in the iPhone 15 family. If you are using one of the Pro models, you can record ProRes at 4K 60 FPS resolution by connecting an external SSD to the type-c input.
Moreover, this recording is saved directly on the SSD, not on your phone. All you have to do is connect the SSD and when you enter the camera, see the word USB-C at the bottom. This is undoubtedly a feature that will make the work of people who work in the video business easier.
Of course, based on this, it would be wrong not to mention that storage units can be connected to the iPhone.
When you connect an external storage device to your iPhone, you can transfer files to it, retrieve files from it, or navigate within it. For example, in order not to waste any time, you can view a video you just shot using the previous feature directly on your phone without eating up the storage space.
Although it is available in different Android models, charging other devices via Type-C is a fairly new opportunity for Apple.
Another benefit of Type-C is that the iPhone 15 models serve as a power bank. In this context, you can charge other Apple accessories and other phones with iPhone 15 models. “What happens if we connect iPhone 15 to iPhone 14?” If you are thinking, let us point out; iPhone with Type-C tries to charge the one with lightning port, regardless of the charging status.
If you have two iPhone 15s and connected them together, the one with the lowest battery gets power from the other one.
Moving on to the case, it is important not to mention that the titanium case in the Pro models is produced with different techniques, not with the paint we know.
The piece in question may seem to have been molded from titanium, but there is great workmanship behind it. According to Apple, the surface of the titanium case; It has gone through precision machining, sandblasting, brushing and spraying processes. This method is a first in the industry by placing a titanium surface on an aluminum skeleton.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the limit for shortcuts that come with the action button is your imagination.
Because you can assign presets to this button, which allows you to play music, take photos, and even unlock the car, and you can create the shortcut you want.
All these together make the iPhone 15 models different from other devices. Do you like the iPhone 15 models, or do you think they are no different from the 14 series? If you are one of those who say “it is no different”, do not forget to take a look at the contents below.
