Apple iPhone 15 (128 GB, Single SIM, 5G, Black)
Design & Build
The iPhone 15 features a sleek, refined design crafted from color-infused glass front and back, with an aluminum frame. Its durability is enhanced by Ceramic Shield on the front for resistance against scratches and drops. The device holds an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in water up to 6 meters for 30 minutes (under controlled conditions). The dimensions are 147.6 × 71.6 × 7.8 mm, and the weight is 171 grams.
Display & Visuals
It comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, delivering high contrast, vivid colors (P3 wide color), and HDR support. The screen’s typical brightness is 1,000 nits, and it can reach 1,600 nits in HDR mode and 2,000 nits in outdoor conditions. Dynamic Island is integrated as the new visual interface for notifications and system interactions.
Performance & Chipset
Powered by the A16 Bionic chip (same as found in previous Pro models), the iPhone 15 delivers high CPU and GPU performance, efficient multitasking, and energy efficiency. Combined with Apple’s software optimization, the device offers smooth app performance, gaming, and daily use.
Storage & Memory
Your model includes 128 GB of internal storage — ample for apps, photos, videos, and more. As with most iPhones, there is no expandable storage (no microSD).
Camera System
The iPhone 15 has a dual-camera system:
-
Main camera: 48 MP sensor with sensor-shift optical image stabilization (OIS) and support for full-resolution capture, along with computational photography features.
-
Ultra Wide camera: 12 MP, 120° field of view with improved low light capture.
-
Front camera (Selfie): 12 MP with autofocus and portrait lighting features.
Video recording supports up to 4K HDR, cinematic modes, and ProRes usage for creative workflows.
Connectivity & Ports
This is one of Apple’s first mainstream iPhones to adopt USB-C instead of Lightning, albeit with USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps) in this base model. It supports 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 6 (or 6E depending on region), Bluetooth 5.x, and NFC.
Battery & Usage
Apple claims up to 20 hours of video playback on the iPhone 15. For audio playback, the time can extend further, depending on settings and usage. Battery life will vary based on screen usage, background tasks, and network conditions.

Questions & Answers
Q: Why should I choose the iPhone 15 (128 GB single SIM) over other iPhones or Android phones?
A: It blends Apple's mature ecosystem, software support, and camera/image processing with an accessible price point (for Apple), while introducing USB-C connectivity and robust performance via the A16 chip.
Q: Is 128 GB enough storage?
A: For most users, yes — it is solid for apps, photos, and moderate video usage. But heavy video producers or people keeping large media collections may want 256 GB or 512 GB.
Q: How durable is it?
A: It has IP68 water & dust resistance, Ceramic Shield glass front, and a color-infused glass back — durable but still susceptible to damage from severe drops or scratches.
Q: Will all my old Lightning accessories work?
A: Not directly — since it uses USB-C now, many Lightning accessories will require adapters or new cables.
Q: Is it future-proof in terms of software updates?
A: Yes, Apple tends to support iPhones for many years. The iPhone 15 has a good chance of lasting many iOS generations.
