Apple revealed its highly awaited iPhone 15 early on Wednesday morning during a live event in the US. The iconic smartphone will be available in four models in a variety of different colours for pre-order from 8pm on September 15, and will be in stores in Hong Kong on September 22.

Other highlights include a new titanium shell, a new Action button, powerful camera upgrades, and the A17 Pro chip on the Phone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
