iPhone 15 review: a big step forward

The iPhone 15 is here, and it's a significant upgrade for the base model. Is it worth getting? It depends on what you were using before.

Big camera upgrade USB-C Matte glass feels incredible Dynamic Island Curved edges are more comfortable Reverse wired charging

60Hz refresh rate display Most color options are too light Can get warm when running intensive apps

“The iPhone 15 is one of the most significant iPhone upgrades ever. The Dynamic Island, USB-C, a 48MP camera, and more make it delightful to use.”

Apple iPhone 15 review

It's yet another year of incremental refinement for the vanilla iPhone. Not that anybody expects any major changes at this point. The iPhone 15 offers a...

Subtle redesign makes it more comfortable to hold and use; we like the new colors.

A lot more expensive than corresponding Android alternatives.

The bottom line here is that, in our view, Apple has again managed to strike the delicate balance between familiarity and meaningful innovation - enough to justify an upgrade to the iPhone 15 from an older vanilla iPhone model. And as usual, the...

Apple iPhone 15 Review

Good size and weight ; Solid performance ; Capable cameras ; USB-C port ; Dynamic Island

No always-on display ; No telephoto camera ; Shorter battery life than other iPhones

The iPhone 15 is the most sensible pick in Apple's lineup, delivering good everyday performance and all of the features you expect for a reasonable price.

Review: Apple iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus

With a new USB-C port and some helpful enhancements over last year's model, we like the iPhone 15 just fine.

USB-C! A really nice display! Dynamic Island! And SOS calling for emergencies.

Camera updates feel incremental. USB-C port is convenient in some cases, a transitional hassle in others. The iPhone 14 Pro is a better phone … and yet, Apple has removed it from its lineup.

Apple iPhone 15 and 15 Plus review: mainstream crossovers

There probably isn't much you don't know about the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. Much like the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, the iPhone 15 models repackage many, but not all, of the features found in last year's Pro lineup at a lower price. There's the Dynamic...

More comfortable to hold (if you don’t use a case) ; Great performance ; Smart, helpful camera features ; Dynamic Island is fun and informative ; USB-C charging ; More comfortable to hold (if you don’t use a case) ; Great performance and excellent...

Display lacks modern features like high refresh rate and always-on ; USB port has slow data speeds ; Ultrawide camera is unchanged, and there’s still no true telephoto ; Display lacks modern features like high refresh rate and always-on ; USB port has...

iPhone 15 Review: big camera upgrade, but still no ProMotion

The iPhone 15 is here and it brings improvements in key areas, but there might be one or two that are disappointingly neglected.

Dynamic Island replaces notch ; New 48MP main camera delivers greater detail ; Automated Portrait mode ; USB-C, finally! ; More ergonomic design ; Brighter display ; Roadside assistance via satellite

Poor utilization of USB-C: same charging and transfer speeds ; 60Hz display refresh rate, come on! ; No dedicated telephoto camera ; Ultra-wide camera needs an upgrade

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 12: might be time for an upgrade

It almost feels like the iPhone 12 was the last generation before a substantial jump in Apple's phones. Is it time to finally upgrade three years later?

iPhone 15 long-term review: Pro features, lower price, plus USB-C

Apple's iPhone 15 proves to be more Pro than not with user-facing upgrades like Dynamic Island, 48MP camera, and USB-C. After three months of use, it stands as the best choice for most.

Apple iPhone 15 Review: The iPhone That's the Worth Upgrade

As long as you don't mind the lack of a telephoto lens, the iPhone 15 is a solid sub-Pro phone.

Brushed pastel color offerings, Dynamic Island is here, you can share cables with Android friends, the chip outperforms this year's Androids

No telephoto means you shouldn't try to zoom with this one, the mute switch is no Action Button, refresh rate is less than Google's mid-ranger

iPhone 15 hands-on review: familiarity rules the day

With the Dynamic Island and other features inherited from the 14 Pro, can the iPhone 15 avoid feeling like last year's news?

iOS 17 works great ; Easy to set up ; Great sound and good camera

Slow charging ; Older processor than 15 Pro

(rating is still tentative) First impressions of the iPhone 15 are familiar: it's very slick, very sleek, and very well made. It's now got the Dynamic Island and some other software solutions from last year's iPhone 14 Pro, but can a phone that's not...
