We have some good news for everyone who has been holding off for a new iPhone after using their old one for a few years. The time is now. The iPhone 15 is not merely a compilation of minor adjustments like the iPhone 14 was in 2022. There is a lot here that makes the investment worthwhile when compared to an iPhone XR or 11? You’ll experience The 15 as a complete epiphany.
With the inclusion of various functions that were previously available only on Pro versions, this new model represents a significant improvement. Camera with high resolution? Check. tick, with a helpful optical zoom. “Dynamic Island” clever? Check. Display brightness: checked.
However, the addition of a USB-C connector for charging and data transfer is the main selling point here. That’s accurate. Lightning, good-bye. The same cable that charges your headphones, wireless speaker, tablet, laptop, mouse, keyboard, and more devices can now also be used to charge your iPhone. Finally, Apple is aligning the iPhone with the rest of its products, which is a major factor in our recommendation that upgraders choose this more future-proof model than prior iPhones.
The iPhone 15 nevertheless has a highly recognizable look as an iPhone. When holding them in your hands, it is immediately clear which is which. From a distance, you probably won’t be able to tell it different from others like the iPhone 14, 13, or 12. It’s difficult to explain, but it becomes immediately apparent when you handle a caseless 15: it feels much nicer in your hands. The edges of the phone have been subtly “contoured” by Apple, and the rear glass has a more grippy matte finish.
