Don't buy the Apple iPhone 15

13 September 2023
You're getting much more with the iPhone 15 Pro for not a lot more money.

100% agreed! But the scenario completely changes in India where the pricing for Pro models is just absurd

    Too bad I read your article too late! I have already pre-ordered 5 devices and paid a deposit of over 500 euros.
    1 iPhone 15 Pro for my wife, 1 iPhone Pro Max for me and 1 iPhone 15 Plus for each of my 3 children

      What an inconsiderate, biased article. I'm sure that, like me, there will be lots of people (1) upgrading from 3/4/5-year-old phones (2) cannot justify spending an additional 200+ USD (3) USB-C FTW

        dont buy the iphone 15 due to ios 17 lack of an apple theme store for themes,icon packs and fonts if you like to custimize your phone that is.

              I'm still waiting for the iPhone 21 Pro max... for now my 13 Pro Max does Justice

                GSM Arena, you guys rock!

                This is the only tech site I've seen that is honest and tells the truth. All the others can't sing Apples praises loud enough because they all got an invite so now they may not criticise Apple.

Do Android screens get as bright? No. But they can KEEP that brightness level for much longer.

This is what exact apple wants you to think and f... moreYes, of course, they want you to buy the higher-end model, but you don't need a new phone every year. Spending $200 more to get vast improvements is worth it as you can keep it for several years if trying to budget.

                          For people who own a 14 series Iphone it wouldn't make sense to buy the base 15, but for people who haven't owned an Iphone ever and want to buy a model from that brand, it does make sense to get the 15 for cheaper than the 14 pro Max and with similar or better performance say, for playing mobile games.

                            better screen and faster than any flagship Android phone, also faster than the next three Android generations too.

                                And then comes Indian pricing. Here we got price gap of around 700 USD between 15 and 15 pro. You could buy a whole 13 with that much money. Prices in India are just ridiculous.

                                    Not worth changing any phone now-days on a regular basis, from Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Honor, Huawei Apple etc.. All very similar on a year to year basis In the case of Samsung I can't see the S24 not the next gen A series being that much different next year from the current models, apart from it being faster (at a cost). Evolutionary but not revolutionary changes it seems but at a much higher cost

                                        As a matter os fact I’m really tempted to give my iPhone to my brother and get the samsung back as an exchange with him. I made the switch to apple at the beginning of the year and I couldn’t regret it more. That so called simplicity is BS. There are so many things that I could do on android in one click, but in iOS you’re forced to do it the way apple wants it. Bro this s#!t doesn’t even properly organize the list of contacts. Not to say that it doesn’t naturally reproduce midi files, the audio codecs for hi res music are non existent, the camera with the over processed and over sharpened pics are a nightmare duh… and I could go on and on.
