Apple is listening to its fans and giving the people what they want; a pink iPhone. The new iPhone 15, introduced during Tuesday’s (Sept. 12) Apple Event, went up for pre-order on Friday.
While the pink shade isn’t quite bright enough to be considered Barbiecore, fans have been asking for a pink phone for awhile now — and this one matches with the pink Apple Watch Series 9.
The iPhone 15 is available in five colors including basic black, mint green, light blue, pink and yellow.
According to Apple, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus feature a “first-of-its-kind, color-infused back glass with a stunning, textured matte finish,” a 48MP ultra-wide main camera and TrueDepth front camera that works for music videos. In fact, Olivia Rodrigo’s music video for “Get Him Back” was shot on an iPhone 15.
“iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus represent a huge leap forward with exciting camera innovations that inspire creativity, the intuitive Dynamic Island, and features like Roadside Assistance via satellite that make a real difference in users’ lives,” said Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of worldwide iPhone product marketing. “We’re also pushing the power of computational photography to new levels this year with a 48MP main camera featuring a new 24MP default for super-high-resolution photos, a new 2x Telephoto option, and next-generation portraits.”
iPhone 15’s has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display screen and the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch screen — it’s available in white titanium, black titanium, natural titanium and blue titanium. The new phones feature a USB-C connector and support wireless charging.
The iPhone 15 runs on iOS 17, which is packed with updates, such as Contact Posters to further customize your contacts; StandBy, which serves up customizable full-screen experience and “glanceable information” that you can view from afar. The updated operating system includes new stickers for iMessage and Name Drop, a new version of AirDrop that allows users to swap contact information by placing their phones near each other.
iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage capacities. The phone starts at $799 for the 15 and $899 for the 15 Plus. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max start at $999 and $1,199.
You can pre-order the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, Pro and Pro Max, starting today. The phones, which are available at Apple, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and other major retailers, will be released on Sept. 22.
