If you’re finding your day to day life busier than ever, it’s the little wins that are going to make the big difference. Although the iPhone 15’s A16 Bionic processor and increased RAM may only provide a moderate boost in performance on paper, the reality is that the iPhone 15 is generally much quicker and handles tasks better all round when compared to its predecessor. The upgrade ensures better handling of apps, better multitasking and ultimately less frustration for you.
On top of that, the iPhone 15 features significant camera upgrades with the introduction of a new 48MP camera, capturing images with much more detail and clarity than the 12MP camera on the iPhone 14. High-quality digital crops and zooms are now possible, providing much sharper images even when you zoom in.
Design Differences
To the untrained eye, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series might look quite similar, but there are a few distinct differences. Both generations feature similar dimensions, shapes and contours which ultimately brings you a phone that you know you’ll love with the base iPhone 15 sporting the well known aluminium frame for its sturdy and durable structure.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max standout with a titanium frame instead of aluminium. This upgrade not only provides a more premium look and feel to anyone wanting something above and beyond the base iPhone 15 model, but the switch in materials also enhances the devices; overall durability and strength.
Some of the iPhone 15 range also feature a subtle difference when compared side by side to the iPhone 14 when we take a look at the back of the device. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus feature a colour-infused glass back which provides a more seamless and vibrant appearance compared to the older models. It’s a subtle change, but a nice one nonetheless that just confirms how much attention to detail Apple put into their new iPhones.
One of the most noticeable differences between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 is the introduction of the new “Dynamic Island” on the iPhone 15. This offers a much more modern and streamlined look to the device when both in use and dormant with the screen active.
The Dynamic Island is an adaptive space, utilised by iOS and many of its apps. It can change size and shape and accommodates different alerts and notifications, updates and minimised app info that puts important elements at the forefront of your user experience.
Despite these few design variations, both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series maintain a sleek and modern look, ensuring that users can enjoy a stylish and functional device regardless of which generation they choose. So, if you’re thinking of upgrading from the 14, the 15 will still feel very familiar.
