This page lists the exact measurements, explains how the phone compares to other models, and provides size context for cases and accessories.

Dimensions

Weight

The iPhone 15 weighs 6.02 ounces (171 grams). That is about the same weight as a medium banana or slightly less than a baseball.

Display

The screen is 6.1 inches diagonally, measured corner to corner. The actual viewable area is slightly smaller because of the rounded corners. Screen resolution is 2556 x 1179 pixels at 460 pixels per inch.

Size comparison with other iPhones

The iPhone 15 is about half an inch shorter and slightly narrower than the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It is taller than the iPhone SE (2022) by about a third of an inch, reflecting its larger 6.1-inch screen compared to the SE’s 4.7-inch display.

Real-world size context

The iPhone 15 is roughly the same height as a dollar bill stood on its short end. The width is a little wider than a credit card. Held in one hand, most adults can reach the opposite corner of the screen with their thumb, though people with smaller hands may need to use reachability (the feature that slides the top of the screen down).

The phone fits comfortably in most front jeans pockets. It sits flat in a shirt pocket but will stick out about an inch from the top. In a standard car cupholder, it will stand upright with room to spare.

Case and accessory sizing

iPhone 15 cases are not interchangeable with iPhone 14 cases. Although the overall dimensions are nearly identical, the camera bump, button placement, and the switch from a mute switch to an Action Button on the Pro models mean each generation needs its own case design. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro have different case sizes because the Pro is slightly taller and wider.

Screen protectors for the iPhone 15 fit the 6.1-inch display. These are the same size as iPhone 15 Pro screen protectors since both share the same display dimensions, though not all manufacturers list cross-compatibility.
