Apple will launch the iPhone 16 series in September this year. So, should users consider owning an iPhone 15 at this time or wait for the next version?
Although the iPhone 15 Series has been launched since September 2023, the appeal of these phones has not decreased, especially the iPhone 15 model.Below are points users need to keep in mind when considering owning an iPhone 15.
The back is smooth and easily slips out of your hand
The back is definitely an impressive highlight on the iPhone 15. Apple has done a great job designing the glass back on the iPhone 15. However, this back is quite slippery, easily slipping out of the hand. Therefore, users should use additional protective covers for the device.
Battery life is significantly improved
According to many reports, iPhone 14 has significantly reduced battery life in less than a year of use. For the iPhone 15, battery life has improved greatly, decreasing by only 1% over about eight months with 190 charge cycles.
Compared to about 120 battery cycles on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, this number is still quite high. The 500-battery cycle (when users consider replacing the battery) of the iPhone 15 is 2 years while the iPhone 15 Pro Max can last up to 3 years.
In addition, the switch to turn on or off the charge limit feature at 80% on iPhone 15 is quite inconvenient. Apple should improve this switch to be more flexible, convenient for users to adjust according to their needs. "Apple" is also adding the ability to stop charging at 85%, 90% or 95% on iOS 18. This is one of the most anticipated changes on new iPhone models.
In addition, Apple should also consider improving fast charging technology. iPhone 15 takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to fully charge while other smartphones only need to charge in less than 1 hour.
The camera does not have a film color filter
The 2X crop sensor on the iPhone 15 model provides a quite interesting shooting experience. The video quality of this phone is also excellent. The photo quality is quite good, the colors are beautiful and vibrant.
However, the iPhone 15's color filter is still not impressive. Many smartphones today are equipped with beautiful film-simulating color filters in the camera, such as Vivo X90 Pro Plus.
iOS sometimes crashes
Apple is often known for its great software. However, an error still occurs. In many cases, the iPhone 15 suddenly turns off and cannot turn on within the next 10-15 minutes, but the cause is unknown. Other than this, the iPhone 15 is still working fine, without any other problems.
The reflective screen is not good
Although the iPhone 15 screen has a maximum brightness of 2000 nits, in sunlight, this screen is still quite difficult to see due to reflection. Therefore, developing a truly anti-reflective screen is necessary.
Apple Intelligence features are not supported
iPhone 15 does not support the Apple Intelligence feature.
Only iPhone 15 Pro models are equipped with "Apple's" Apple Intelligence feature. However, iPhone 15 can also use AI, users just need to download the ChatGPT or Google Gemini app.
Conclude
iPhone 15 is still a product worth buying from "Apple" at the present time. They only have some minus points about the back, screen, battery life and fast charging.
iPhone 15 is a smartphone model worth buying.
iPhone 15 has a relatively compact screen size of only 6.1 inches. For users who do not need to use the large screen of the iPhone Pro Max line and want to save money, this is an iPhone model worth considering.
