Why is iPhone 15 still a good choice right now?

iPhone 15 is not outdated yet

Launched in 2023, but so far, the iPhone 15 is still not a product with an old design. In fact, for many years now, Apple has not significantly changed the design, size or materials of the standard iPhone models. Users can only distinguish the regular iPhone versions by color or camera position if just looking at the outside of the device.

For example, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 differ in the diagonal camera arrangement instead of vertical, and this does not affect the usability much. The iPhone 15 also has a variety of light color options, which are rated higher than most of the colors of the iPhone 16 this year.

iPhone 15 is not much different from iPhone 16, only distinguishable by camera cluster design and some characteristic colors.

Regarding the screen, this model still uses the same type as the generation that was just released at the end of 2024: both are Super Retina XDR OLED panels, pixel density 460 ppi, scanning frequency (refresh) remains 60 Hz, maximum brightness is the same. iPhone 15 and 16 both have screens using Dynamic Island... In addition, there is nothing on the iPhone 15 screen that makes the device outdated or old compared to the next generation.

The A16 chip is powerful enough

The iPhone 15 uses the A16 Bionic processor instead of the A17 Bionic like the iPhone 16, but the power of this chip still meets daily tasks well, including editing 4K video or playing games at high graphics levels. GeekBench performance measurement results show that the A16 Bionic (released in 2022) is still on par with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (2023) currently on some high-end Android devices. However, users will not experience Apple Intelligence artificial intelligence on the iPhone 15.

In addition to the processor chip, the CPU and GPU of this iPhone model are also highly appreciated. The device is also compatible with iOS 18 as well as a few new iOS updates later to experience many new features like later models.

48 MP main camera takes beautiful photos

The iPhone 15 uses a 48 MP f/1.6 main sensor, similar to the iPhone 16. The default photo capture is 24 MP, but you can enable JPEG MAX to take advantage of all the pixels. The result is sharp photos, balanced colors, and a wide contrast range. Accompanying the main sensor is a 12 MP (f/2.4) ultra-wide-angle lens with good quality. The device supports 4K 60 FPS video recording with Dolby Vision support on both the front (12 MP) and rear cameras. Overall, the iPhone 15's camera system is almost identical to the iPhone 16.

The iPhone 16 has two differences: a Camera Control button (which isn't necessarily an advantage) and the ability to take macro shots from the ultra-wide camera. However, neither of these are frequently used features.

The color options of the iPhone 15 are considered higher than those of its "younger brother" launched in 2024.

All-day battery life

Apple claims the iPhone 15 can watch videos stored on the device for about 20 hours continuously, or listen to music for 80 hours on a single charge. Using a 20W charger, the device can be filled from 0% to 50% in 30 minutes. The device supports MagSafe and Qi2 (15W). These parameters are similar to the iPhone 16, except that the new generation has a maximum MagSafe charge of up to 25W.

Many tests as well as actual use show that this device has an on-screen time of up to more than 5 hours and 20 minutes with about 30% remaining. These details show that the device is more than enough for a day of use with normal connection and entertainment needs.

Should I upgrade to iPhone 15?

With the above advantages and many similarities with the iPhone 16, the iPhone 15 is clearly a choice worth considering compared to its "younger brother" because users will save a significant amount of money (VND 18.9 million compared to VND 21.5 million) if they agree to choose the model launched in 2023. For those who are using iPhone 11, 12, planning to upgrade before Tet At Ty and still want to use an "apple" phone, the iPhone 15 is considered a more suitable choice than the iPhone 16 in terms of price to value.

In case Android users want to switch, the iPhone 13, 14 to 15 series will be reasonable because the spending is not too large for a device that is not sure to be able to stick with for a long time. If you have decided to use it for many years to come and do not have to worry about finances, just need an iPhone that meets basic needs and want to experience Apple Intelligence, the choice at this time will expand to iPhone 16.
