With the Apple iPhone 15, Apple is clearly aiming at buyers who want a well-rounded phone without too many compromises. Here is our take on what it brings to the table. Announced in 2023, September 12, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
Up front there is a 6.1 inches, 91.3 cm 2 (~86.4% screen-to-body ratio) screen, pushing a resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~461 ppi density). Colours look punchy and text stays clean, so you will not have much to complain about here. It is not trying to reinvent the wheel with its design, but it does look the part. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Black.
Performance & Software
Powering the Apple iPhone 15 is the Apple A16 Bionic (4 nm), paired with 6GB of RAM. That combination should handle day-to-day multitasking and most games without breaking a sweat. It runs iOS 17, upgradable to iOS 27 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
Photography is handled by a main 48 MP shooter that should cover most situations, from daylight shots to the occasional low-light frame. Expect solid detail in good light, with the usual softness creeping in once the sun goes down.
Battery
Battery duties are handled by a Li-Ion 3349 mAh unit, which should comfortably see most people through a full day on a single charge.
Our Opinion
So, what do we actually make of the Apple iPhone 15? This is a phone that does not try to be the flashiest option on the shelf, and honestly that works in its favour. It gets the basics right, offering a dependable main camera, a crisp display, which is exactly what most buyers are really after. If your priority is a phone that just works, day in and day out, then this one deserves a spot on your shortlist. Is it perfect? No phone is, and you will always find a sharper camera or a faster chip somewhere else for a little more money. But taken as a whole, the Apple iPhone 15 is a sensible, well-judged choice that should keep most users happy for a good while.
