The iPhone 15 launch is only a short time away, and some Apple fans are probably looking forward to an upgrade to one of the four iPhone 15 models. iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are the most curious of the four models. Reports already predict that these devices will become more popular with consumers.
But rumors also say that the iPhone 15 Pros could be more expensive than their predecessors. With that in mind, you definitely shouldn’t ignore the basic iPhone 15. There are many good reasons why the iPhone 15 will be a much better phone than its predecessor.
Almost an iPhone 14 Pro camera experience
Since the smartphone is the main camera in our lives, the camera features are among the most important hardware details when buying a new iPhone. The iPhone 14 Pro got a big upgrade last year with its new 48-megapixel sensor. However, this upgrade was limited to the Pro models only, and the base iPhone 14 phones used a 12-megapixel sensor instead.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has confirmed that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus phones will use the 48-megapixel camera on the iPhone 14 Pro in a new design.
Dynamic Island design of iPhone 15
One of the biggest reasons why the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus failed to impress users was the screen design. The phones looked like old iPhones compared to the brand new look of the iPhone 14 Pros. This year, however, both the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are said to feature the same Dynamic Island design as the iPhone 15 Pro models.
If you add to this the rumors that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will come with frosted glass panels and many color options, you have one more reason to be excited about the iPhone 15 instead of the Pro.
BGRfaster processor
Its successors, like the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, also don’t get the latest A-series chip that will power the iPhone 15 Pro models. However, you will use the A16 model found inside the iPhone 14 Pros. This is still a great upgrade and you won’t notice the performance difference.
Increased battery life
You’ve often heard people say how great the iPhone 14 Pro’s battery is and would buy it again just for the battery life. Then get ready to be amazed by the iPhone 15’s battery.
The iPhone 15 will reportedly have a 3,877mAh battery, a big increase compared to the iPhone 14’s 3,279mAh battery. It’s even bigger than the rumored 3,650mAh battery of the iPhone 15 Pro, because the Pro has an extra camera lens.
Switching to USB-C
All iPhone 15 models will come with USB-C ports instead of Lightning. Apple is finally switching to the port you always wanted on the iPhone. The first benefit is that you can get rid of the Lightning cable and use USB-C to charge your iPhone, iPad and Mac.
The one thing you won’t get on the base models is the Thunderbolt transfer speeds that will be exclusive to the Pro models.
Price
In summary, the iPhone 15 models are essentially variations of the iPhone 14 Pros. The phones will be at least as powerful as last year’s Pros and will have a similar camera experience except for optical zoom capabilities. There is also the issue that the base model will have larger batteries compared to the Pro variants.
All this makes the iPhone 15 models great, especially the base model. The $799 price tag sounds even better considering the rumored iPhone 15 Pro will start at $1,099 instead of $999.
