SUPERB CAMERA SETUP + DECENT BATTERY LIFE + FAST PROCESSOR = (RELATIVELY) AFFORDABLE QUALITY.

REVIEW: iPHONE 15 STRAIGHTFORWARD EXCELLENCE

Every fall Apple releases four iPhones, but this excess of choice seems less intimidating once you realize that these are really just two phones wearing different clothing. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is essentially a bigger version of the iPhone 15 Pro-same processor, same camera setup, same features-while the iPhone 15 discussed in this article is a shrunk-down version of the 15 Plus, which we reviewed last year.

In this article, I'll be focusing on the areas where the iPhone 15 differs from the 15 Plus: namely, portability, the screen, and battery performance. I'll sum up our findings in the other departments as well, but for a fuller rundown read my review of the larger model (fave.co/43sspnC).

DESIGN AND BUILD

If you want the latest look to emerge from Cupertino's design studios, head on over to the Pro range, with its light titanium frame and Action Button. The iPhone 15 is more of a classic design, pretty much sticking to the iPhone 14's aesthetic playbook but switching from Lightning to a USB-C port on the bottom edge.

It has flat edges and squared-off corners in the style Apple brought back in 2020 with the iPhone 12, which was itself a nod to the iPhone 5 from 2012. The twin camera lenses on the rear project outward a couple of millimeters from the module, which itself is raised from the rear surface of the phone. So if you try to place the phone screen-up on a table, it won't sit flat. If that matters to you, I'd strongly recommend the use of a case.
