Apple iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus Evaluate: It’s OK To not Love Your Telephone


My picture comparisons had been primarily between the iPhone 13 Professional, the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Professional, the iPhone 15, and an occasional Google Pixel 6 Professional picture for good measure. The pics I took on the iPhone 15 seemed dramatically higher than those captured on the iPhone 13 Professional — the 15 captured extra element and more true colours, had higher publicity management, and didn’t lag in any respect when taking pictures in lower-light settings.

Relying on the scene it was troublesome to inform the distinction between photographs captured on the iPhone 14 and 14 Professional fashions (particularly the iPhone 14 Professional) and the iPhone 15 digital camera. An iPhone 15 picture of a plate of wagyu beef at a dimly lit sizzling pot restaurant confirmed higher dynamic vary and extra element than the identical pic taken on the iPhone 14. Throughout a sundown picture shoot at my go-to seaside, which featured a shawl of fog—San Francisco’s favourite accent—I observed that the iPhone 14 picture seemed barely extra blown out than the sundown captured on the iPhone 15.

The most important replace is that the iPhone 15 has the flexibility to seize each 24-megapixel and 48-megapixel photographs, which will be preset underneath “Decision Management” in your telephone’s digital camera settings. However this function is optimized for taking pictures at 1X in respectable gentle, whereas in the event you shoot at .5X, or ultrawide, the digital camera will default again to 12-megapixel captures.

The iPhone 15 now has a further 2X optical zoom possibility, whereas the iPhone 14 solely provided .5 and 1X zooms. Portrait mode on iPhone 15 will be activated mechanically when the digital camera detects a portrait-worthy picture, although in my expertise, the iPhone 15 has but to deem any of my topics worthy of portraiture. Additionally, in Portrait mode, now you can management the depth of the picture and zoom out to seize much more knowledge from the scene. That is admittedly a pleasant function add.

Nonetheless, actual pictures nerds are going to wish to go larger.

Dancing Queen, iOS 17

All new iPhones are going to ship operating iOS 17, and—excellent news—your previous iPhone can now run it too. We’ve assembled a round-up of our high options, together with my new favourite, transcribed voice notes in messages, and improved autocorrect, which allowed me to write down “f*cking A!” to my editor in Slack and didn’t change it to “ducking.”

StandBy mode additionally turns your iPhone into a wise pill of kinds if you flip it on its facet, lock it, and prop it up on a appropriate charging dock.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out Dynamic Island, which is as a lot of a {hardware} function as it’s a software program function, due to the best way Apple reengineers the front-facing digital camera module to make Dynamic Island work. This was beforehand accessible on iPhone 14 Professional telephones, and now it’s on the 15. It’s principally … a widget. However a reside, clickable one. It makes use of that actual property on the high of the telephone to point out you what music is enjoying on Spotify, your timer countdowns, the standing of your Uber journey. My expertise with Dynamic Island was restricted earlier than utilizing the iPhone 15, and I’m shocked to say I form of like it.

OK, love is a robust phrase. Nobody ought to actually love a telephone. I just like the iPhone 15. Let’s go away it at that.
