The front and back of the device are both made of glass.

Configuration
Apple used the same A16 Bionic chip for the iPhone 15 series. The A16 Bionic chip has a 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU, for a realistic graphics experience. It is second only to the A17 Pro chip on the iPhone 15 Pro in terms of performance. The A16 chip also includes an image signal processor that powers photography features on iPhone 15, with up to four trillion operations performed on each photo. iPhone 15 has a RAM capacity of 6GB, similar to iPhone 14 models.
Experience the iPhone 15 in action while playing games
With the A1 Pro processor and new GPU design, iPhone 15 delivers a console-level gaming experience with reflection detection and hardware-powered MetalFX upscaling, improving graphics and performance in games. . However, compared to traditional gaming platforms, gaming on the iPhone is still limited.
IP68 water and dust resistance
iPhone 15 is rated IP68 for water and dust resistance according to IEC 60529 standard. This means they can withstand immersion in up to 6 meters of water for up to 30 minutes without damage. However, it is important to note that this rating is not permanent and may decrease over time due to normal wear and tear.
Weaknesses on iPhone 15
The battery is just enough
iPhone 15 has a 3349 mAh battery. That capacity is slightly larger than last year’s iPhone 14 Pro model. Apple has also apparently done some additional optimization work on the software and hardware since last year. However, compared to many other phone lines on the market today, the iPhone 15 battery is still not very good, the battery life can only be used for a normal day.
Fast charging ability is not high
iPhone 15 has a maximum charging capacity of 20W, from 0-32% after 15 minutes and then to 58% after 30 minutes. You can charge the battery to 85% in one hour. That’s not bad at all. However, beyond that point in the charging cycle, capacity begins to gradually decrease. After 95% charging, the iPhone 15 only consumes about 4W or so of power, which explains why a full charge takes 1 hour and 50 minutes. That’s a bit slower than both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13.
