Apple has announced the iPhone 15 at its 'Wonderlust' event in Cupertino.

The latest – and Apple would say greatest – version of the company's standard smartphone comes with an all-new design including the Dynamic Island, which replaces the notch and brings it in line with the Pro devices.

It also gets a major upgrade on the camera front, with a 48MP main sensor on the rear, up from 12MP on the iPhone 14. It will also use the infrared True Depth camera, used for face unlock, to help with selfie portraits - which stay at 12MP.

The display is also improved. Though the screen stays at the same 6.1-inch size, it now has a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits, twice what the previous iPhone 14 could manage.

One new feature that might count as an upgrade - depending on your perspective - is that it will charge with USB-C, rather than Apple's propriety Lightning cable.

The phone was revealed at today's Apple September event – check out our Apple event 2023 live blog for ongoing coverage – and will be available in pink (among five colors in total).

This is a developing story. Keep refreshing for more details as we get them.
