The iPhone 15 has at least four big upgrades compared to the iPhone 14, and these affect the screen, the camera, the performance, and the way you charge it.
For the camera, Apple’s phones are always great for photography, but the iPhone 15 has a big boost in the form of a new 48MP main camera, replacing the 12MP one of old. This packs in four times as many pixels, so your photos can be incredibly detailed, and this camera can also take optical quality 2x zoom pictures at 12MP, so it’s essentially two cameras in one.
But on top of that you also get a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP front-facing camera, and exceptional video recording skills.
Next up there’s how you charge the iPhone 15, which might not sound like the most exciting thing, but for the first time ever on an iPhone you get a USB-C port, so you can use the same cables as you use for other gadgets, including recent iPads, MacBooks, and most devices made by other companies.
The iPhone 15 also has a major screen upgrade in the form of a Dynamic Island, which replaces the old-fashioned looking notch of the iPhone 14. This leaves the phone looking far more modern and high-end.
And the iPhone 15 is also – along with the iPhone 15 Plus – the most powerful non-Pro iPhone you can get, as it has a speedy A16 Bionic chipset at its heart. That’s also more powerful than the chipsets in most Android phones.
Beyond that, with the iPhone 15 you’re also getting a premium design and build, a 6.1-inch display with as many pixels per inch as the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and a long-lasting battery, offering up to 20 hours of life when watching video.
