5 Ways iPhone 15 is Worth Upgrading From iPhone 14
If you find it difficult to choose the right path here’s why you must consider upgrading your iPhone 14 or 14 Plus to the latest iPhone 15 or 15 Plus. If you need the short answer.
It is yes, you should absolutely upgrade from the iPhone 14 to iPhone 15. But that’s not what you are here for! So, here’s a breakdown of every upgrade on the iPhone 15/ 15 Plus over the last year’s iPhone 14 / 14 Plus.
Display
This is the most notable change of them all which is visible from even a distance and can distinguish this year’s iPhone from last year’s iPhone (Or the last 3 Year’s iPhone).
The iPhone 15 line-up has adopted the Dynamic Island from last year’s iPhone 14 Pro models. It now has all the functionalities like checking quick scores, the progress of food delivery, and everything that Dynamic Island can do on iPhone 14 Pro.
The new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus now also have much more improved brightness. In the normal high brightness mode it can go up to 1700nits of brightness. In sunlight mode, the displays on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus can go up to 2000nits of brightness which is the highest on any non-pro iPhone to date.
Build
The new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus come with a much more improved build than any other iPhone.
The new iPhone 15 line-up comes with scampered edges and a much deeper colour infusion in its back. The standard iPhone 15 comes with the same textured matte finish which makes it feel more premium than the bunch.
The iPhone 15 also comes with a much better repairable build and as per Apple’s provided data it is now 100 per cent carbon neutral which is one step closer towards their dream of being 100 carbon neutral by 2030.
Camera
This is where Apple has taken the biggest leap in terms of upgrades. The new iPhone 15 and 15 Plus come with an improved 48MP sensor that was introduced with last year’s Pro models.
This new sensor opened up doors of more possibilities for the standard iPhone 15s. With the new 48MP sensor Apple was able to enable 2X lossless telephoto zoom on the main lens granting it capabilities of 3 lenses in just 2.
This also enables a new and improved Portrait mode on board. In the Automatic Portrait mode, the iPhone detects humans, dogs, or cats in the frame and enables the portrait mode on its own. In the portrait images taken on the iPhone 15 line-up, we can also disable or shift focus afterwards.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus can also now take videos in 4K ProRes format making it much more flexible to polish it afterwards. The improved sensor-shift stabilization also helps take better videos in low-lit conditions.
HDR performance in the video and photos taken from the main camera is also improved with the introduction of a new and large 48MP sensor which has all-pixel focus technology.
Performance
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus come with the upgraded A16 Bionic Chipset. According to the new policies Apple implemented one of the latest Pro models can get the latest and greatest offerings from Apple. Still, the A16 is last year’s Pro chip introduced in iPhone 14 Pro giving the iPhone 15 a significant boost over iPhone 14.
The newly introduced A16 Bionic on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus makes it much more capable to game on, and to squeeze more raw performance out of it. It can easily perform as a portable editing and gaming machine on the go.
The new chip also ensures upgrades for a much longer period. Providing constant and long-term upgrades is always been Apple’s stronghold which only improves with all new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus thanks to the new A16 Bionic Chip.
Connectivity
The iPhone 15 lineup comes equipped with the first-ever Type-C port ever equipped on an iPhone. Using the Type-C port Apple enabled faster transfer speeds as well as reverse charging.
Yes, that’s right you can now charge your new AirPods Pro with Type C as well as your iPods using your iPhone 15 and 15 Plus via wired connections.
The iPhone 15 also comes equipped with an improved 2nd-generation Ultra-Wideband chip. This gives it the power to more accurate FineMy location finding and location sharing. This chip is now on the latest Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple’s iPhone 15 pro series.
Conclusion
While wrapping this up all we can conclude is iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are really capable machines and are huge upgrades in every aspect compared to iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. If you are looking forward to an upgrade, Apple is also giving a significant exchange bonus on iPhone 11 and above making it easier to take the next leap forward.
