September is usually iPhone season, and Apple hasn’t disappointed in 2023.
There are four new handsets once again, with the regular iPhone 15 joined by Plus, Pro and Pro Max models.
One big change is consistent across all four – a USB-C port – after a new EU directive forced Apple to move away from Lightning. Other updates include the Dynamic Island coming to regular and Plus models, alongside a titanium build and customisable Action Button on the Pro versions.
With pre-orders live now, here’s everything you need to know about buying one in the US or UK. We also have an equivalent article for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2.
When will the iPhone 15 be released?
Apple officially announced the iPhone 15 range at its ‘Wonderlust’ event on 12 September 2023, alongside the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2.
Pre-orders are live now, ahead of all four phones going on sale on 22 September.
How much does the iPhone 15 cost?
Here’s how much you’ll pay for all iPhone 15 models at launch. The GB and TB figures refer to internal storage:
iPhone 15
128GB – $799/£799
256GB – $899/£899
512GB – $1,099/£1,099
iPhone 15 Plus
128GB – $899/£899
256GB – $999/£999
512GB – $1,199/£1,199
iPhone 15 Pro
128GB – $999/£999
256GB – $1,099/£1,099
512GB – $1,299/£1,299
1TB – $1,499/£1,499
iPhone 15 Pro Max
256GB – $1,199/£1,199
512GB – $1,399/£1,399
1TB – $1,599/£1,599
In the US, prices are the same as the equivalent iPhone 14 models. The only change is that the iPhone 15 Pro Max has at least 256GB of storage rather than 128GB, meaning its starting price is now $100 higher.
But in the UK, every configuration is actually cheaper than last year. Identical $ and £ figures mean you’ll still pay more than in the US, but the difference isn’t as big. It also means you can get a 256GB iPhone 15 Pro Max for the same price as a 128GB iPhone 14 Pro Max.
