Upgraded from my busted up 13 pro to the 15 Plus and I love it. The battery life is insane. Gets me through 2 full days of heavy use. Love it so happy!
Same I just left my 13 pro for a 15 plus and its been great aside from 60hz,which even after a week is still jarring but the battery life is a worthy trade. The camera is a CLEAR upgrade and speakers are phenomenal too.
I love the 15 gets the dynamic island and long battery life. I also love the matte finish, kinda stealthy look and of course the newly upgraded 48mp main camera. I think that this is going to be a worth to get in.
Same, the cameras finally convince me to upgrade from iPhone 8. I really didn’t like the notch in bridging models, but Dynamic Island feels like an additional feature, not a compromise.
@@jawadqaisrani3244 I got mine a couple of weeks ago and so far it has been great. Mrwhosetheboss did a nice video on the battery life of the new iPhones :).
I have the iphone 15 (pink) and I love it. It definitely is worth the price. I wanted the plus before but the plain is just perfect. Having moved from android. I am still learning day by day, but I love it! I guess I joined the iphone experience at the right time.
YO wassup Dion So the iPhone 15, … There’s quite a list of features that I would like: - Like the frosted glass back & the matt sides. - The rounded corners - Dynamic island which is really cool - The braided USB cable in the box. - Colour matched USB-C ports - USB-C (🤯); now we can plug the phone into a monitor & charge your PS5 controller whilst you play. - It takes 24mp photos in auto mode. - Automatically capturing depth info for photos; with the ultra-wide lens & the wide-angle lens, that’s really cool now any photo can be a portrait. - Better night photography with a combination of photonic engine & the 24mp shots - The 2nd Gen UWB chip for finding air tags & you friends even. - The peak brightness doubled to 200 nits. - I like the new personalised contact cards (OS update feature) - Standby mode (OS update feature) - & message transcription (OS update feature) To be honest man I don’t have a favourite feature, but if I were to pick one which I am, I say “USB-C & the extra features it brings”. Like being able to charge my PS5 controller when it dies is really cool instead of having to play RIGHT IN FRONT of the TV. I can also plug it into a monitor & connect a PS5 controller via Bluetooth, really cool (👌). My Instagram accounts are blessing_t.mutsago “theonlybiggee” NOT “theonlybig_gee” blessingthegamer I’ll drop a follow from each of those accounts.
I upgraded to the base model iPhone 15 from a base model iPhone 12. Feels like a huge upgrade. I was originally looking at the 15 Pro for the filming & photography feature set, as well as the ProMotion display. I have dedicated cameras for any filming and photography needs, and I don't really think the 120Hz refresh rate screen which has an impact on battery life is worth the price difference. Very happy with my iPhone 15.
@@benk932 i think, it depends. If you are scrolling occasionally then you are always using the 120 hz. But if you are always on stationary screen without scrolling and touch then you are not using the 120 hz.
I had to upgrade to the 15 plus from the 13 pro max due to the battery health draining significantly and honestly, I’m so glad I did!!! Battery life, ESIM and loving the cameras! Just as good as other phone! I also love the colors of the 15s. I have basic matte black
The Pro truly is a waste of money for the vast majority of people. Apple are getting desperate to try and push people to that higher priced phone, but if you really look at what the Pro phone offers, it’s just not that compelling for the extra money. The 15 is a very good phone with better battery life to boot.
@@DeesBees8515 pro max 256 is just 220€ more expensive than a 15 plus with same storage, so the better camera, display, chip, titanium, action button, etc. is definitely worth the upgrade
i just switched from my iPhone 11 to a 15 Pro Max. It’s been only a day… and i’m LOVING IT. I’m glad i waited for it to come out. literally no complaints. and it’s so smooooth🥰 the battery is insane and the 120hz refresh rate is even more insane
@ethano.00 I think my favorite thing about the iPhone 15 is that it has dynamic island and a full matte body, as well as a 48MP main lens. It's literally a nerfed 14 Pro! Since I'm huge on photography, I think the addition of the 2x zoom is great.
I’m glad you showed the scratches because I had been considering going case-less. 😮. I just got the 15 plus in pink and I love it. Great video, new sub 😊
@c.ylese to be honest, I love almost EVERYTHING about it. from how it looks, the 48mp main camera on the base model and the plus, which we don't get to the previous iphone base models. The killer battery life of the plus, the dynamic island and the upgraded os. I pretty much love everything abt it, except for the 60hz refresh rate... I'm not that much of a gamer, but it kinda sucks. AND PLUS THE USB-C!!! so yeah, 10 out of 10!
@atishpawar22 The fact that iPhone 15 is way ahead of all the non pro iphones over the years is a big plus. With dynamic island adds up a whole new dimension to it. That aluminium on the sidelines definitely got me up as that's definitely gonna give a different on hand feel.
Real solid review of the 15. Thanks for doing it. Everybody just focuses on the pro phones which I don’t need. I went to the Apple Store and looked at them but I think I’m gonna hold off for another year and keep my iPhone 13 mini as it’s running great on iOS 17 and there’s no need to upgrade for me. It’s just a shiny new phone and that’s kind of tempting, but if the phones aren’t side-by-side the camera on the 13 takes really good videos and pictures and it’s only when you put it next to a brand new phone do you seem like you need an upgrade .
I have a 12 mini, which is a bit worse than 13 mini so I have a better reason to upgrade to iPhone 15. Also I had my 12 mini for 3 years now and battery capacity is at a terrible 78% and I have a small black dot on my screen due to dropping it so even more justifiable to upgrade!
Yes agree, these really are significant upgrades this year for the base models. But that 60Hz display is killing me. It’s time for Apple to add the 120Hz to all of their lineup. Even the cheapest Android phones have had it for years.
If they did there would hardly be a reason for you to buy the pro models. That's what they want everyone to get so they give certain crap features to their lower end phones. You'd have to look at phones under $200 in the Android world to find a phone under 90hz. Only Apple can get away with this.
I usually find these reviewers annoying for the most part as they talk about features that are for most users totally unimportant. You showed EXACTLY what at least i am looking in a phone. Very nice. Liked it a lot :-)
My best feature Is that the phone is a pro battery saver and it does not overheat like the pro models ,the only downgrade is the 60hrtz refresh rate which is not that noticeable but overall it gives flagship specs @ Street geng
The iPhone 14 may have liked the same however I believe it helped make the 15pro with the more removable back and small features such as automatically calling emergency services and satellite signal receivers.
@katadoto Great video as usual. While the dynamic island and usb C are great, I really like the max screen brightness and ability to change background focus after the fact are the best features. For the 15 pro though I think the best feature is recording to an SSD while recording. Means you can get the base model, have the best recording available on a phone and not have to worry about space, awesome!
Very true! This was announced just after I filmed this video. Exciting to see Google now lead in software support, Apple and the others will have to catch up! 👍
@ethanlaurea I really like how the 15 series still kept the Pros for users like me who aren't into big phones. It's a treat that Apple brought the dynamic island on the regular 15s too!
Switching to USB-C and introducing the dynamic island to non-pro models are the best features for me. I also agree that for this price point, the minimum 90hz screen refresh rate should be available (why, Apple?). Very insightful video, Dion! @dudzaalunday
I went from an iphone 12 to an s23. Tested the iphone 15, and nope not going back. Staying with the s23 256gb with 120hz. It really is a deal breaker for me.
@munchineh I gotta say hands down the best feature of the iPhone 15/Pros are the advanced Portrait Mode. Automatically detecting a subject/photo that's ideal for Portrait Mode (regardless of what mode you're in) is wicked cool.
Bought the 15 plus did not buy a pro Max for the first time and I don't miss that phone one iota this 15 plus has the best battery life excellent sound excellent USBC, extremely light, and the dynamic island and the a16 chip amazing
@simbatsamba I love the camera update on the iPhone 15. 48mp camera is the best thing happening for it. It’s good that now the 15 has aluminum frame and matte glass finish which makes it more premium. Its rounded edges make it more comfortable compared to iPhone 14 and the previous ones. I love the USB-C charger change from Lightning because it now allows reverse charging for other accessories such as AirPods etc. The new and faster chip makes it more interesting and faster to process. And again the introduction of the dynamic island and brightness tracking 2000nits is unbeatable. This phone is lovely and the best thing going on for the iPhone 15 series
first off I want to start by saying I love your channel. With that being said I have a question and I'm hoping that maybe you could help me out. The iPhone 14 pro Max and Pros had the battery issues where they were degrading much faster then other models did. With that being said the new 15 and 15 plus have the same chip that was in the 14 Pro Models do you think that those models will have the same issues with the battery duration that the 14 Pro Models had or do you think maybe it was something going on with the phone and maybe Apple may have fixed it? I would love to know your thoughts on this.
Hi Justin, thanks for the compliment. I do not have experienced these issues. Perhaps this video will be useful ua-cam.com/video/s9LWamZoW0s/v-deo.html
It depends a bit on what you value most. 14 Pro Max: more HZ, more storage, stainless steel frame (great, but heavier). The 15 plus has better camera, lighter design, better battery and usb-c. I would go for the 15plus
@@DionMedia So I recently tried both, the 120 HZ is not a big deal for me BUT although the 14 Pro Max is heavier 40 grams is not that much of a difference when you hold it in your hand and it's worth having the better build quality. The rounded edges on the 15 plus feel really nice but it will go in case and they won't really matter. The camera is really hard to say which is better unless you are a pixel peeper but the 14 Pro max has the Pro Res which is not available on the15 plus. As for the usb-c I come from an android background and I don't really use the usb-c; I have a wireless charger that I use for all my devices which supports iphones too. The main advantage of the usb-c on iphone is to transfer the large Pro Res files which is not available on the 15 plus but you can record Pro Res directly into SSD with the 14 PRO MAX. The battery life on the 15 Plus was the hardest thing to give up on but 10 hrs on the 14 Pro Max is good enough for me and consider it the cost of 120HZ screen. Most importantly I was able to get the 14 PRO MAX 256 GB at $800 unlocked saved myself $230 not to mention taxes. It's no wonder that Apple stopped selling the 14 Pro Max and I'm not sure why most tech reviewers are not recommending it and shilling the 15. You should get 14 Pro Max while the supply lasts.
Actually iPhone 14 is still good for the next 2-3 years. But my suggestion is better to take iPhone 15 to get the usb type C port. It will be easier for you to manage cables (one type of usb cable for all) if you have several other devices
I'm upgrading from 8 plus to 15. I held my 8 plus until Apple released another phone with touch id, I was sick of waiting lol. Was hoping they finally integrate it into the side or something but decide to give face id a try and that juicy 48 mp main camera
@@pandaboo15 I love it!! it's so light compared to the 8 plus. It's worth the upgrade because you get a huge bump in specs and battery life. The camera quality in both front and back is amazing. And I love its color, I got the green one. It was between green and pink. So far Face ID is quite good and the dynamic island is not too distracting and sometimes I forget about it when I use my phone. Personally, I find the notch really ugly on previous models.
For camera which will be better 14 pro max or new 15 plus? So much confused with this both phones. Also main priority is Camera. @dionmedia plz reply this..
The only reason I plan to get this one is because of the incredible battery life. 120hz while good to have doesn’t really make any difference at the end of the day.
@zarkieeeeee Wow Dion. Awesome videos yet again. Even more informative than the first impressions video. I've learned a lot more now. Time to flex my knowledge on everyone 😎. I really want to win that 15 Pro because of the new A17 Pro chip with its powerful nature, the new camera system that would really help me with my photography coursework and I will finally be able to take Pro Raw photos, Pro Res videos, Ultrawide Photos and Macro Photos, the USB C with 3.0 speeds will help those photo files transfer much quicker and the new titanium build is much lighter and looks more premium to me and should resist fingerprints a little better. And that blue titanium colour is so exquisite and elegant. And honestly speaking, my iPhone 7 Plus needs to be retired soon. I really hope I win🤞. Once again great video as always Dion. Keep up the great work!!
@marcodinho_ Honestly, I really like this thing. I'm fond of its appearance, the fact that it has a 48MP main camera on both the regular and plus models, which was missing in previous iPhone base models. The battery life on the plus model is quite impressive, the dynamic island feature and the upgraded operating system are great. I pretty much like everything about it, except for the 60Hz refresh rate, which is a bit disappointing. Plus, it's fantastic that it finally has USB-C, something we've been waiting for a long time. So, in my view, it's definitely a keeper! Really Great, informative video, Dion!
Hello sir, like you video. Kindly advise, I have never used an iPhone. So now I am planning to buy one but confused between iphone 15 or iphone 15 pro. I am not a hard core content creator and I am not a gamer. I do take videos in my gym and and pictures of food and upload it on Instagram. My main use is of camera basically. It's my first time for an Iphone please advise.
The 2x is a scam, I compared two cropped images, one with 1x and the other with 2x zoom and I've noticed that the 1x has way better quality. Don't know why people doesn't talk about this!
I'm one of those weirdos who 'downgraded' from a pro. Traded in my 14 pro for a 15 last night, the 14 pro was just too heavy and Promotion was causing me problems. I'm sensitive to flicker & variable refresh rates, and even though it seemed fine when I got it back in March I think iOS 17 must have changed something in either Promotion or the dimming cause it suddenly started giving me motion sickness and headaches a few months ago. Everyone complains about static 60hz but that was actually a selling point for me. 3 things I'll miss are AOD, macro, and LIDAR, but I'm loving everything else about my 15. Camera takes absolutely gorgeous pics, and FINALLY the normal iPhone gets matte glass! That might actually be my favorite change lol. The lighter weight is so very nice too. My only real gripe is that apple changed the dimensions _just_ enough so that most 13/14 cases won't fit the 15. WHYYY. I was really hoping it would be an SE situation where I could use several generations of cases. I was able to reuse some things though, 14 pro screen protectors will fit the 15 and camera protectors from the standard 14s will also fit the 15 so that saved me a few sheckels 👌
@majid.issimo I love the new matt back glass. I always despised the glossy back glass with tons of fingerprints on my friends iPhones, I think it makes the iPhone 15 to look much more premium. Also Love the camera upgrade. I think iPhone 15 series is making me to finally move to iPhone world from android.
@manucelajes The 14-series were a total skip on paper. Glad that Apple decided to step-up their game a little on this one. Flat edges with smoothened corners, Dynamic island and the camera resolution are the main upgrades on this one.
@carlreti love that we get to experience the dynamic island with the regular iphones and the implementation of usb-c is a worthy upgrade. i also like the neautral, not loud colors.
What is your favourite feature of the iPhone 15? 🤔
The new dynamic island for me. Just happy we get it on the normal iPhone 15 not just the pro models
Dynamic island ❤️
Bro when you going to do the iPhone 15 pro giveaway
The brightness , the dynamic island, the battery life
it's the matte finish back for sure
Upgraded from my busted up 13 pro to the 15 Plus and I love it. The battery life is insane. Gets me through 2 full days of heavy use. Love it so happy!
Good to hear!
Same I just left my 13 pro for a 15 plus and its been great aside from 60hz,which even after a week is still jarring but the battery life is a worthy trade. The camera is a CLEAR upgrade and speakers are phenomenal too.
Went from a 13 to 15 with 256k. Have had it for only a few days but every day I love it more. Got the green version.
Not bad, 256k should be enough for a few text files

Does it have a heating issue
@@RahulSharma-df4xz not as far as I know. That issue is only with the pro models. (It was fixed in ios 17.0.3 though)

- It takes 24mp photos in auto mode.
- Automatically capturing depth info for photos; with the ultra-wide lens & the wide-angle lens, that’s really cool now any photo can be a portrait.
- Better night photography with a combination of photonic engine & the 24mp shots
- The 2nd Gen UWB chip for finding air tags & you friends even.

I gotta say hands down the best feature of the iPhone 15/Pros are the advanced Portrait Mode. Automatically detecting a subject/photo that's ideal for Portrait Mode (regardless of what mode you're in) is wicked cool.
I love the long battery life, Dynamic Island. And finally the usb-c port :)
Bought the 15 plus did not buy a pro Max for the first time and I don't miss that phone one iota this 15 plus has the best battery life excellent sound excellent USBC, extremely light, and the dynamic island and the a16 chip amazing
Loved the colors!

I love the camera update on the iPhone 15. 48mp camera is the best thing happening for it. It’s good that now the 15 has aluminum frame and matte glass finish which makes it more premium. Its rounded edges make it more comfortable compared to iPhone 14 and the previous ones. I love the USB-C charger change from Lightning because it now allows reverse charging for other accessories such as AirPods etc. The new and faster chip makes it more interesting and faster to process. And again the introduction of the dynamic island and brightness tracking 2000nits is unbeatable. This phone is lovely and the best thing going on for the iPhone 15 series
Watching the review on my 15 😂. Love it already. The camera is undoubtedly the biggest upgrade.
The 15 Plus have the best battery life. Love it!!
USB-C is my favourite feature, that Dynamic Island is a welcome addition to the non Pro phones
I upgraded from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 15. It’s a huge difference for me.
I’m between the 14 or 15 I like to watch UA-cam a lot and shop a lot online. Which do u recommend
Hi Danid, I have a lot of videos on both the 15 and 14. Perhaps the best place to start with is the following. ua-cam.com/video/i3XslVss_xQ/v-deo.html
first off I want to start by saying I love your channel. With that being said I have a question and I'm hoping that maybe you could help me out. The iPhone 14 pro Max and Pros had the battery issues where they were degrading much faster then other models did. With that being said the new 15 and 15 plus have the same chip that was in the 14 Pro Models do you think that those models will have the same issues with the battery duration that the 14 Pro Models had or do you think maybe it was something going on with the phone and maybe Apple may have fixed it? I would love to know your thoughts on this.
Hi Justin, thanks for the compliment. I do not have experienced these issues. Perhaps this video will be useful ua-cam.com/video/s9LWamZoW0s/v-deo.html
Love my iPhone 12 on iOS 15 since 2020. No plans for upgrade. If I need though, yes it will be a black 15.
iPhone 15 plus or 15 is good .. need it for photography purpose can u pls tell me which js good for product photography on jewellery
Love the dynamic island and the camera! Def would be a huge upgrade from my iPhone 11!
14 PRO MAX 256 GB vs the 15 plus base model, both are the same price which would you go for?
It depends a bit on what you value most. 14 Pro Max: more HZ, more storage, stainless steel frame (great, but heavier). The 15 plus has better camera, lighter design, better battery and usb-c. I would go for the 15plus
@@DionMedia So I recently tried both, the 120 HZ is not a big deal for me BUT although the 14 Pro Max is heavier 40 grams is not that much of a difference when you hold it in your hand and it's worth having the better build quality. The rounded edges on the 15 plus feel really nice but it will go in case and they won't really matter. The camera is really hard to say which is better unless you are a pixel peeper but the 14 Pro max has the Pro Res which is not available on the15 plus. As for the usb-c I come from an android background and I don't really use the usb-c; I have a wireless charger that I use for all my devices which supports iphones too. The main advantage of the usb-c on iphone is to transfer the large Pro Res files which is not available on the 15 plus but you can record Pro Res directly into SSD with the 14 PRO MAX.
The battery life on the 15 Plus was the hardest thing to give up on but 10 hrs on the 14 Pro Max is good enough for me and consider it the cost of 120HZ screen. Most importantly I was able to get the 14 PRO MAX 256 GB at $800 unlocked saved myself $230 not to mention taxes. It's no wonder that Apple stopped selling the 14 Pro Max and I'm not sure why most tech reviewers are not recommending it and shilling the 15. You should get 14 Pro Max while the supply lasts.
Thanks for your detailed comment!
Thanks for this review. There is no macro mode on iphone 15, so do you know the minimum distance you can take a photo of an object ?
ima switch to iphone 15 in pink in 1-2 months, it will be my first iphone and im pretty excited tbh
@thanosg
I upgraded from iPhone 11 Pro. My reason to choose 15 instead of the 15 Pro was because I love the classic mute switch! (also the price :) )
I'm moving from android to iPhone should I go for iPhone 14 or iPhone 15 which is value for money?
Actually iPhone 14 is still good for the next 2-3 years. But my suggestion is better to take iPhone 15 to get the usb type C port.
It will be easier for you to manage cables (one type of usb cable for all) if you have several other devices
I'm upgrading from 8 plus to 15. I held my 8 plus until Apple released another phone with touch id, I was sick of waiting lol. Was hoping they finally integrate it into the side or something but decide to give face id a try and that juicy 48 mp main camera
I'm going to upgrade from 8plus to 15 as well. how is it btw? any feedback?
@@pandaboo15 I love it!! it's so light compared to the 8 plus. It's worth the upgrade because you get a huge bump in specs and battery life. The camera quality in both front and back is amazing. And I love its color, I got the green one. It was between green and pink. So far Face ID is quite good and the dynamic island is not too distracting and sometimes I forget about it when I use my phone. Personally, I find the notch really ugly on previous models.
I feel like the mute switch is amazing. What I really have a grudge about is the USB-C
For camera which will be better 14 pro max or new 15 plus? So much confused with this both phones. Also main priority is Camera.
@dionmedia plz reply this..
The qualities I like about the new iphone 15 is that it has U-SBS and a nicer camera and so on and I'd be happy to win it
Thanks for the video and covers
My pleasure!
I just love that there is a dynamic island on the model phones which is the iPhone 15
Nice review , got to know more.
Thanks for watching!
Just purchased my iPhone 15 in black extremely happy with it it’s fab!!!
15 or 15 plus which is better
regular 15 or iphone 14 pro? help me decide.
I upgraded from iphone 11 to iphone 15 and trust me this is the best iphone in recent times.
I really like that the iPhone 15 has the dynamic island. Not to worried it doesn’t run 120hz either you can barely tell with them side by side.
I am currently using samsang A51 and am thinking to switch to an Iphone. I am in a dilemma of whether to go for a 14 plus or 15 please help me out
So very good about iphone 15..❤
I ❤ the alumni rounded frame, and will have the real feel when I can afford. The dynamic island along with the cane is also awesome
love the new design so sleek!🤭🔥
The only reason I plan to get this one is because of the incredible battery life. 120hz while good to have doesn’t really make any difference at the end of the day.
@zarkieeeeee
Wow Dion. Awesome videos yet again. Even more informative than the first impressions video. I've learned a lot more now. Time to flex my knowledge on everyone 😎. I really want to win that 15 Pro because of the new A17 Pro chip with its powerful nature, the new camera system that would really help me with my photography coursework and I will finally be able to take Pro Raw photos, Pro Res videos, Ultrawide Photos and Macro Photos, the USB C with 3.0 speeds will help those photo files transfer much quicker and the new titanium build is much lighter and looks more premium to me and should resist fingerprints a little better. And that blue titanium colour is so exquisite and elegant. And honestly speaking, my iPhone 7 Plus needs to be retired soon. I really hope I win🤞. Once again great video as always Dion. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the compliments and thanks for sharing your point of view!
Thank you for video
You are welcome
@marcodinho_
Honestly, I really like this thing. I'm fond of its appearance, the fact that it has a 48MP main camera on both the regular and plus models, which was missing in previous iPhone base models. The battery life on the plus model is quite impressive, the dynamic island feature and the upgraded operating system are great. I pretty much like everything about it, except for the 60Hz refresh rate, which is a bit disappointing. Plus, it's fantastic that it finally has USB-C, something we've been waiting for a long time. So, in my view, it's definitely a keeper!
Really Great, informative video, Dion!
It’s definitely the best iPhone ever. Together with the iPhone 15 you get a free heater. That should significantly reduce the electricity/ gas bill
😂😂
:)
Awesome video
Thanks!
@@DionMedia you are welcome
Hello sir, like you video. Kindly advise, I have never used an iPhone. So now I am planning to buy one but confused between iphone 15 or iphone 15 pro. I am not a hard core content creator and I am not a gamer. I do take videos in my gym and and pictures of food and upload it on Instagram. My main use is of camera basically. It's my first time for an Iphone please advise.
I love it because it has long battery life, coming from an iphone 6. I am planning to upgrade to the 15 plus.
The 2x is a scam, I compared two cropped images, one with 1x and the other with 2x zoom and I've noticed that the 1x has way better quality. Don't know why people doesn't talk about this!
I'm one of those weirdos who 'downgraded' from a pro. Traded in my 14 pro for a 15 last night, the 14 pro was just too heavy and Promotion was causing me problems. I'm sensitive to flicker & variable refresh rates, and even though it seemed fine when I got it back in March I think iOS 17 must have changed something in either Promotion or the dimming cause it suddenly started giving me motion sickness and headaches a few months ago. Everyone complains about static 60hz but that was actually a selling point for me. 3 things I'll miss are AOD, macro, and LIDAR, but I'm loving everything else about my 15. Camera takes absolutely gorgeous pics, and FINALLY the normal iPhone gets matte glass! That might actually be my favorite change lol. The lighter weight is so very nice too.
My only real gripe is that apple changed the dimensions _just_ enough so that most 13/14 cases won't fit the 15. WHYYY. I was really hoping it would be an SE situation where I could use several generations of cases. I was able to reuse some things though, 14 pro screen protectors will fit the 15 and camera protectors from the standard 14s will also fit the 15 so that saved me a few sheckels 👌
Thanks for sharing your considerations. There are quite a few people who down grade, so you are not alone :). And I fully agree on the cases!
My favorite think about iPhone 15 is that the dynamic island and the rounded edges :D
@majid.issimo
I love the new matt back glass. I always despised the glossy back glass with tons of fingerprints on my friends iPhones, I think it makes the iPhone 15 to look much more premium. Also Love the camera upgrade. I think iPhone 15 series is making me to finally move to iPhone world from android.
Any innovation ….makes me tempted to buy a new iPhone…..dynamic Island….48 megapixel… clarity in screen….better graphics in gaming…..charging timing
@manucelajes
The 14-series were a total skip on paper. Glad that Apple decided to step-up their game a little on this one. Flat edges with smoothened corners, Dynamic island and the camera resolution are the main upgrades on this one.
@carlreti
love that we get to experience the dynamic island with the regular iphones and the implementation of usb-c is a worthy upgrade. i also like the neautral, not loud colors.
What I like most is the matte finish at the back- from Philippines
Hi Jose, greetings to the Philippines
The almost blue colour of iPhone 15 reminds me of the autumn sky before Durga Puja.
