Just like in previous years, Apple revealed its latest handsets in September.
There were four new models in 2023, with the regular iPhone 15 joined by the 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models. These are the new iPhones until the iPhone 16 arrives.
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, plus a titanium build and customisable Action Button on the Pro versions.
Here’s your complete guide to buying the phones in the UK and US, whether you’re looking to get one outright or on contract.

How much did the iPhone 15 cost at launch?
Here’s how much you had to pay for all the 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 their predecessors. 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.
When was the iPhone 15 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.
All four phones are on sale now, having been released on 22 September 2023.
