With the announcement of the release of the new iPhone 15 series, questions began to arise about the specifications of the new phone and its comparison with its predecessor, the iPhone 14, and is it really worth buying it?
To make a decision regarding this, we list below the most prominent differences between the phone in terms of technology and specifications, according to a report by the “Arab Technical News Portal” website.
the design
All iPhone 15 phones this year have witnessed a major change at the design level, whether in the manufacturing material or in the new technology for incorporating color into every part of it and the corners that have become more streamlined.
The protection layer on the screen has also become stronger and withstands more shocks than previous versions, and the Pro versions differ in that they are made of high-quality, higher-strength titanium.
In addition to all of that, the new phone got the Dynamic Island feature, which changed the design of the front, as the notch at the top of the screen no longer exists, as we mentioned previously.
At the performance level, this feature provides an interactive space that highlights live notifications and activities in front of your eyes so that you do not miss anything new while you are busy with other tasks.
The iPhone 15 comes with a glass design, which Apple has improved its hardness by treating it in a custom double ion exchange process. Thanks to the aluminum body, the phone has a high degree of hardness and a higher ability to withstand shocks.
It is also water and dust resistant according to the IP68 standard. It is available in five colors: pink, yellow, green, blue, and black.
As for the iPhone 14, it comes with a simple and elegant design, with a frame made of aluminum, a front and back of glass, and it is water and dust resistant according to the IP68 standard. It is available in five colors: black (Midnight), violet, white (Starlight), blue, red, and yellow.
the screen
In addition, the iPhone 15 includes a 6.1-inch Super Retina
The maximum brightness of the iPhone 15 screen reaches 1,600 nits, making HDR photos and videos look better than ever. In the sun, the maximum outdoor brightness reaches 2,000 cd/m2.
The iPhone 14, which was released last year, is similar to the new iPhone in screen type, size, and refresh rate, but the difference is in resolution and brightness.
the performance
In terms of performance, the iPhone 15 works with a six-core (A16 Bionic) processor manufactured using 4nm technology, which is the same processor that works with the iPhone 14 Pro phones that Apple introduced last year.
This processor is characterized by speed and efficiency in performance, supports the (Dynamic Island) feature, and computational imaging capabilities, and Apple says that it consumes 20% less energy, and the new neural engine with 16 cores can perform up to 17 trillion operations per second, and this allows mathematical operations. Faster machine learning on features like live voicemail transcription in iOS 17 and third-party app experiences.
While the iPhone 14 phone works with a six-core (Apple A15 Bionic) processor, manufactured with 5nm technology, and with a maximum frequency of 3.23 GHz, this processor also features strong performance, but of course it is outperformed by the new processor.
Camera
In parallel, the camera witnessed a major change in the new phone this year, as the resolution of the primary camera sensor increased to 48 megapixels, compared to 12 megapixels in last year’s version.
The iPhone 15 comes with a dual-lens rear camera, and the camera supports 4K video recording at a rate of 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second, 1080p HD video recording at a rate of 25, 30, or 60 frames per second, and 720p HD video at a rate of 30 frames per second. It supports Cinematic mode for shooting video at 4K resolution at 30 frames per second.
As for the front camera, the phone includes a 12-megapixel single-lens camera, f/1.9 lens aperture, and supports 4K video recording.
It also introduces a new generation of portraits, as it makes taking portraits easier than before, showing more details and providing better performance in low light.
Battery and operating system
It was expected that the battery capacity and charging speed of the iPhone 15 phones would increase this year, especially since it supports the USB-C port for charging, but Apple has not announced the battery capacity or charging speed of its new phones yet, and merely said that the iPhone 15 battery lasts for 20 hours. of video playback, which is the same duration as the iPhone 14 battery.
the price
The two phones are similar in internal storage capacity options; They come with three options of internal storage capacity: 128, 256, or 512 GB.
However, they differ in price, as the price of the iPhone 15 starts at $800, and the price of the iPhone 14 now starts at $700.
The decision to buy a new phone depends on your personal needs and preferences, as the iPhone 15 offers many improvements and new features, but the iPhone 14 is still considered one of the best smartphones available on the market.
