Apple iPhone 15 review

dbjungle, 30 Sep 2023Did they offer an explanation for dropping the score?Isn’t it obvious tho? For such a price this phone is unnecessary. Marketing should be really strong to make you think it worth spending 750 USD on this. The iPhone pro would be a better choice at this point.

    The iPhone 15 is a great phone, but I wouldn't recommend it, especially for those interested in longevity. Why? 6GB of RAM. Next year's iPhone 16 will have 8GB of RAM. So unless you must buy an iPhone today with USB-C, I would either wair, or save the money and just get the 14.

          This phone not being at least 90Hz is a real bummer. Similar to the entry level ipad having kept the same design and non-laminated screen for almost 10 years. That’s probably the 200iq bean counters at Apple pushing for a significantly worse screen to make people spend 400€ more

            Did they offer an explanation for dropping the score?

              To think USB-C is listed in the pros section of a phone.

                      Imo 4.5 to 4.1 is a little harsh, but it's all about opinion.

                        the first 120hz smartphone was 2017 sold for 700$
                        and this iphone is 800$ and still 60hz. i just need to know. 800$ for what

                            It is 1/1.6" .....

                            Built-in DRAM increases readout speed.
                            Dual layer transistor does not.

                              Wondering why the review for the vanilla 15 came out before the one for 15 Pro (non-Max) when the former was "in for review" a day later than the latter 🤔

                                In this review, gsmarena's got an assesment of iPhone 15 alone and gave 4.5 stars, and they gave us other alternative choices.

                                        Anonymous, 30 Sep 2023I was personally fine with the 4.5 score, considering the P... moreSuch a score would *probably* be deemed okay if the company (GSM) were comparing and contrasting Apples to Apples, yet many other phones from various companies which are objectively better than the base iPhone 15 cannot/ could not score lower than this product (lower than 4.5). And that would've been the case if the score were not altered - their future reviews wouldn't be perceived as credible.
