5 Reasons Why the Apple iPhone 15 is an Upgrade from the iPhone 14
The iPhone 15 lineup was unveiled this week, and the excitement was palpable as millions of people were glued to their screens to watch the company officially talk about the new iPhones on Tuesday night. The iPhone 15 lineup includes the usual suspects, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. But it goes without saying that the most affordable iPhone 15 model for Indian buyers is getting the most attention.
Yes, the prices of the older iPhones (iPhone 14 and iPhone 13) have come down in the country, but even then, Apple gives you not just one but several reasons to consider getting the latest iPhone 15 over its predecessor. Here are all the detailed features of the iPhone 15 that make it better than the iPhone 14 despite costing Rs 10,000 more in the country.
iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14: New features worth checking out
Renewed design
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 don’t look that different when you see them from the back, but Apple is offering some minor changes that could affect their take on the updated model. Apple says the iPhone 15 is made of aluminum and has a colored glass back panel. The iPhone 14 was only made of aluminum with a glass back. Now, it’s not clear how much of a difference it makes, but based on the company’s details, we thought we’d put it out there.
The dynamic island is here
This year, the iPhone 15 model also gets the Dynamic Island notch, which was not offered in the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. We also noticed that the size of the frames on the iPhone 15 is slightly thinner than its predecessor. With the dynamic island notch, you can get, among other things, the status of the cockpit, track food delivery and even battery charging alerts. Would you call it a game changer, not really, but it’s good that the new display technology is available in a vanilla model.
A16 Bionic from professionals
Apple has now made a clear distinction between its vanilla and Pro iPhone models. One of them is the use of the older A series bionic chip in the former. In the iPhone 15, you get the A16 Bionic chip, which works in the iPhone 14 Pro last year. But now with the release of the A17 Pro chip in the iPhone 15 Pro series, Apple has moved this high-performance chip to its base model. This is a clear upgrade to the A15 Bionic chip, but it’s unlikely to be noticeable in basic or heavy use.
New camera and technology
The iPhone 15 has a 48-megapixel primary rear camera with sensor shift OIS and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. We usually say that higher megapixels don’t mean better quality, but in this case we might have to make an exception. The iPhone 14 had two 12-megapixel camera systems on the back. The optical zoom of the iPhone 15 is now 4X range compared to the 2x zoom offered by the iPhone 14.
USB C on iPhone
It’s happening, Apple is finally bringing USB C charging technology to iPhones, albeit forced. The company has confirmed the new charging technology of the iPhone 15 series, which serves better convenience for people who do not need to carry several chargers for their devices. Whether the new port will offer fast charging speeds, we’re not sure yet, but at least you can use third-party chargers now without any issues.
