iPhone 15 Review: A Familiar Upgrade with a USB-C Twist

I’ve been using the iPhone 15 for a few weeks now, and honestly, it’s like a comfortable pair of jeans – familiar, reliable, but not groundbreaking. It’s a solid upgrade from the iPhone 14, but if you’re expecting a revolution, you’ll be disappointed.

Design & Build: Same But Different

The first thing you’ll notice is that the iPhone 15 feels great in the hand. The edges are slightly softer, and the frosted glass back (a first for non-Pro iPhones) is a nice touch. The build quality is top-notch, as always, but it still has that familiar iPhone look. It’s available in a range of vibrant colors, so you can express your style.

Display: A Brighter Future

The Super Retina XDR display is the same 6.1-inch size as the iPhone 14, but it’s now brighter, making it easier to see in sunlight. Colors are vibrant, and text is crisp. It’s not the highest refresh rate out there, but it still feels smooth for everyday use. The Dynamic Island, previously only on Pro models, is a welcome addition, making the notch a thing of the past.

Performance: Speedy and Efficient

The iPhone 15 packs Apple’s A16 Bionic chip, the same one found in last year’s Pro models. It handles everything I throw at it, from social media to demanding games, without breaking a sweat. I haven’t noticed any lag or slowdown, even with multiple apps open. Battery life is on par with the iPhone 14, easily lasting a full day with my typical usage.

Camera: Reliable Shooter

The camera system is a solid upgrade over the iPhone 14. The main 48-megapixel sensor captures detailed and colorful photos, even in challenging lighting conditions. The ultrawide lens is great for landscapes, and the new 2x telephoto lens offers more flexibility for portraits. While it doesn’t match the Pro models in low-light performance, it’s still one of the best cameras on a non-Pro iPhone.

Software & User Experience: iOS 17 Delight

iOS 17 is a joy to use. It’s smooth, intuitive, and packed with features that enhance the overall experience. The Dynamic Island is more interactive and useful, and new features like Standby Mode and Journal app are nice additions. If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, you’ll feel right at home.

Connectivity & Additional Features: Hello, USB-C!

The biggest change this year is the switch from Lightning to USB-C. It’s a welcome change, making it easier to charge the phone with other devices. The iPhone 15 also supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3. It’s water-resistant and has excellent stereo speakers.

Buying Recommendation:

Who’s it for? The iPhone 15 is a great all-around phone that’s perfect for most users. If you’re upgrading from an older iPhone, this is a worthy upgrade. However, if you’re coming from an iPhone 14, the improvements might not be substantial enough to justify the cost.

Pros:

  • Beautiful design and vibrant display
  • Powerful performance for everyday tasks and gaming
  • Excellent camera system for most users
  • USB-C charging is finally here
  • iOS 17 is a joy to use

Cons:

  • Not a huge leap forward from the iPhone 14
  • Low-light camera performance could be better
  • No ProMotion display
  • Pricey

Overall:

The iPhone 15 is a fantastic phone, but it’s not a must-have upgrade if you already have an iPhone 14. It’s best for those coming from older iPhones or switching from Android. The USB-C port and improved camera are the most significant upgrades, but the overall experience is very similar to last year’s model. If you can afford it, the iPhone 15 Pro offers more significant improvements, but the iPhone 15 is still a great choice for most users.
