One of the major upgrades of the iPhone 15 series is the change from Lightning to USB-C, though the EU’s new law may have forced Apple’s hands on the matter. However, despite Android and iOS devices now using the same port, recent reports from China claim that users are discouraged from using Android cables to charge their iPhone 15 series smartphones.

As of 12.01 AM today (22 September), the iPhone 15 series pre-order has finally begun in Malaysia. If you want to directly get it from Apple Malaysia, you can do it now but will need to wait longer. 

While most Malaysian telcos already announced pre-order details for the Apple iPhone 15 series, Yes 5G is taking its time, only teasing about its offerings today. Saying that ‘greater things come to those who wait’, the telco certainly has the most eye-catching deals for the latest iPhones so far, starting at just RM21/month.

During Apple's presentation on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it was revealed that the telephoto lens will have a 5x optical zoom. In the world of smartphones, it's not quite as impressive as the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's 10x camera zoom but Apple has a reason for that.

The Apple iPhone 15 series features various improvements from previous models, both in terms of hardware and software. Recently, it was also revealed that the latest iPhone models have more settings in regard to safeguarding battery health, including limiting charging to only up to 80 per cent and the ability to check battery cycle count.

Last week, we reported that the battery life on the new iPhone 15 series has no changes when compared to its predecessors. The exact figures were not known at the time until now, which was revealed by the Chinese Regulatory database recently.

Before the release of the iPhone 15 Series, it was heavily speculated that the iPhone 15 Pro variants would have better transfer and charging speeds. Well, it turns out to be true as Apple just published a support document regarding the USB-C ports.

The iPhone 15 series can be pre-ordered from 22 September onwards in Malaysia and besides Apple Malaysia, our local telcos will also offer the new lineup on the same date. However, will all the iPhone 15 models support eSIM only?

Yesterday, we reported that the iPhone 15 series battery life has no changes when compared to its predecessors. While that's kind of a letdown, there is a feature that will let users have the option to limit the maximum battery charge of their preference. 

As usual, Apple is notoriously known for leaving out details on the RAM, battery life and other minor details. There's a good reason for that, since iOS operates differently from Android but that's another topic for another day. In this news, sources have confirmed the said figures for the latest iPhone 15 series.
