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

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.

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...

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

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...

iPhone 15 review: A bigger step up than the iPhone 14 was

The move to the iPhone 15 is a much larger step than the iPhone 14 was, and it is a return to form for Apple's phone for the rest of us.

iPhone 15 review: The best iPhone value

The iPhone 15 adopts a few of the iPhone 14 Pro's features, making it a formidable mid-range priced phone that straddles the line of being a flagship. In our iPhone 15 review, you'll see how its upgra

That’s a compelling argument to make because now I have a camera phone with flagship quality at a much lower cost. In the greater scheme of things, I think it shows how you don’t need to shell out a fortune for a premium phone.

Apple iPhone 15 review: the best for most people

The entry-level iPhone could be your perfect upgrade

Great-looking device ; Feels solid and well made ; Impressive performance

Lacks always-on display ; Some users may miss a long lens ; Slower USB 2 transfer

While the iPhone 15 might not have the advanced features of the pro model, it’s an impressive phone that feels great in the hand. Not only is it powerful, thanks to the A16 Bionic chip but the new 48MP camera means it takes incredible photos too.
