From features that prolong your device’s battery life to settings that help you take even better, clear photos, don’t sleep on all of the things your iPhone 15 can do.
Ready to make the most of your device? Here are six secret iPhone 15 features to check out with your new device this holiday season.
Change Your Camera’s Resolution
Your iPhone 15 camera resolution is 24 megapixels, but the latest model stands out because it also offers 12-megapixels and 48-megapixels. If you are low on storage and want to switch to a lower resolution, or want to ramp things up with a 48-megapixel resolution, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and choose your resolution in Photo Mode.
Connect To Wi-Fi 6E
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are the first phones to offer faster and more reliable Wi-Fi 6E. This is a feature you may not even be aware of, but chances are you’ll notice your phone is a lot speedier.
Thread
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max also support the Thread mesh networking protocol. This means they can be controlled by a series of iPhone 15 smart devices that include smart lights, smart plugs, mesh routers, and more.
Telephoto
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus both feature a dual rear camera setup with a 2X telephoto option in the Camera app. Get ready to take the best far-away photos ever, and expect them to be clear and professional looking.
Connect To External Displays With a USB-C Port
Unlike older models, all iPhone 15 models come with a USB-C port, which allows you to relay 4K, 60 frames per second, videos to an external display or TV via USB-C 3.1 or Thunderbolt 4 cable. This means you can connect media like videos and photos to a bigger screen to enjoy.
5x Optical Zoom
If you’re the proud owner of an iPhone 15 Pro Max, you can take advantage of yet another cool camera feature courtesy of a new camera sensor that comes with a 12MP telephoto sensor featuring 5x optimal zoom and 25x digital zoom.
This major upgrade proves Apple is intent on continuing to improve its camera features so that users can take even more professional-looking photos and video.
