Apple has finally announced the iPhone 15 series, and it’s a major upgrade over its predecessor.

Equipped with a robust 48MP Main camera, users can effortlessly capture super-high-resolution photos, and the addition of a new 2x Telephoto option provides three optical zoom levels for your convenience. Bid farewell to grainy low-light pictures as the next-gen portraits ensure impeccable detail and exceptional performance in low-light conditions.
