The new iPhone 15 – some features

admin

Apple has not changed anything in the form factor. There are no notable differences in the dimensions and weight of the iPhone 15. The materials used have also remained the same. However, you will notice a difference if you hold the iPhone 15. The aluminum frame’s edges have a small amount of bevelling.

Starting in 2024, there will be a new freeway vignette, especially for occasional drivers in Austria. In addition, the prices will be newly staggered. Ten days, two months, or a whole year—that’s how long the familiar freeway toll stickers are valid, which have been stuck to windshields in Austria since 1997 or can now be redeemed digitally. A completely new fourth vignette will now extend these three versions into 2024. The government put this on track in the Council of Ministers on Wednesday as part of an amendment to the…
