The iPhone 15 is an impressive new iPhone, touting the Dynamic Island, a USB-C port, and a new camera. But is it worth it if you already have the iPhone 14?
This story is part of our complete Apple event coverage Apple’s new iPhone 15 packs a slew of upgrades that make the base iPhone more compelling than ever. While the iPhone 14 was a minor iterative update over its predecessor, Apple has gone all-in on the regular model this year.
Both smartphones feature a 6.1-inch OLED True Tone display with a 60Hz refresh rate. While that’s disappointing, the good news is that the iPhone 15 can go up to 2,000 nits peak brightness versus 1,200 nits on the iPhone 14. As a result, it should be easier to browse things on the new iPhone in bright sunlight.
iPhone 15 vs. iPhone 14: performance, battery life, and charging The iPhone 15 doesn’t stop at the Dynamic Island and brighter display when it comes to borrowing things from last year’s Pro series of iPhones. It also gets the A16 Bionic chipset that offers a GPU that is 50% more powerful than before, which should translate to smoother graphics for streaming videos and playing games.
A new sensor on the back also means new software features. The iPhone 15 offers better 2x zoom and the next-generation Portrait mode, where you can adjust the focus for different subjects, depending on the depth. You also no longer need to switch to Portrait mode to capture portrait photos. The iPhone 15 captures depth information on every photo, so you can turn a regular photo into a portrait via the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Plus, you get better HDR on the new iPhone.
In terms of upgrades, the iPhone 15 is likely to be supported for one more year than the previous-gen product. However, Apple tends to roll out software updates to its devices for around six years, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
