[@joshuepico75]

@@M9999-h4c I have the regular 15 and have never had the 11 but the jump should not be that noticeable in good lighting, the difference is better in low light though. It can get as close as any other normal phone without a macro lens, and zoom can go up to 10x in photo (don’t use it, I swear to god just don’t) or 6x in video (please don’t, limit yourself to 3x at max).

Upgrade not update……

[@erik0954]

Updated from iPhone X to iPhone 15 Pro. A hell of an update. Especially the camera: excellent night mode and excellent video. The other advantages for me: USB-c (because my iPad has that already for 5 years) and I don’t like to update that often, waste of money and resources. I guess that we will have at least 6 years of IOS updates because the 15 and 15 plus will have 5 years with there one year older A16 chip. Another one of my reasons.

The camera and battery are great and I love Dynamic Island. Not a huge deal but a nice, simple upgrade from the notch. Great video.

Great comparison video. I’ve watched a lot of these in the lead up to upgrading from my Xr model. I preferred the look and feel of the 15 but was considering the 15 Pro if it seemed worthwhile enough. This video helped me decide that ultimately the main pro of the Pro for me would be the 120Hz, but since I’m used to 60Hz it’s not something I’d be noticing if I went with the base model. Went back to the store and bought my base 15 model. Cheers

Me too, I came from an iphone 11 and got the 15 pro, felt really smooth. But i ended up replacing it with the regular 15, feels a lot more lighter which was something important for me (I am a field technician) move a lot and need lighter phones, and I noticed its battery was slightly better than 15 pro. Also I am used to 60 hz so its not a big deal for me. So for me I liked the regular 15 much better

i am in the same scenario rn.....i have an XR and skeptical about going for 15 plus or pro, any suggestions since you have been using 15 for quite a while now

[@withinwithout6263]

@@carnage_308 So I’ve had the phone for about 6 months now and the base 15 was the right choice (it also finally just feels like “my phone” rather than “the replacement for my XR”). One thing I will note is that the 60Hz display *does* actually feel different on this phone. Initially I’d thought I wouldn’t notice since I was used to 60Hz on the XR, but I think the more powerful specs of the base 15 really just make the slight lag you get with it more pronounced and as such really stand out at times. It’s a minor annoyance; not enough for me to wish I had the iPhone 15 pro instead (because I don’t), but it does make it clear that the design choice by Apple was just a means of artificially constraining the base model so that the Pro could seem more advanced. That gives me more gripe with Apple than the phone itself, however. Aside from that, and overall, it’s been a solid upgrade for someone who wanted to stay within the Apple ecosystem for the time being.

as the editor on phone i guess you would pick the pro ?

[@danielfirdaus]

I simply choose the pro model because of that telephoto lens. Sounds crazy but I would rather use a phone with just the wide and the telephoto lens repectively. I almost never use the ultrawide lens, too wide and sometimes it doesn't look good in lowlight

[@insidetechltd]

Nah, I’m totally with you on that. I initially praised Apple when they switched to have the two lenses be main and ultra wide. But in reality I don’t use it, so I’d also have it be a tele lens 👍🏼

[@ashjcoronado]

If they used the same ultrawide cam on the regular model as they do with the pro (with the added macro mode) then main and ultrawide would be the sensible choice since you can do the sensor crop and digital zoom to get closer go your subject even if it’s not quite the same as having a real telephoto camera but Apple being Apple are still using a potato (11 series hardware) as their ultrawide cam making that focal length pretty much useless.

An alternative would be to consider the 14 Pro instead of the regular 15. You then get the 120 Hz refresh rate. The main downside would be that the 14 Pro is missing the USB-C connection. It also have the sharp edges instead of rounded off on the 15 but with a phone case that would not matter

I just ordered new devices yesterday. To be perfectly honest up until I cracked my screen a couple weeks ago, I was perfectly fine with my iPhone 13 Pro and had no real desire to upgrade at all. My husband has a second generation SE though and he’s starting to get tired of it. Fortunately Verizon was desperate for us to upgrade so I managed to get a 15 Pro for me and a 15 for my husband for free despite the condition of my device. The notch on the 13 models never really bothered me at all even when I first upgraded from my old 6S to the 11, but the Dynamic Island will be kind of a cute novelty.

[@MattH-l3i]

Yea the 120hz is really noticeable especially when you have come from samsung, but it honestly is not a good reason to not get the cheaper one everything else considered. Especially if you don’t care about the telephoto lenses, better chip set also.

[@warrengaskin3863]

I got my first Pro iPhone last December, that was the 14 Pro.

Same here, waiting for 15 Pro just for 120Hz, I think there is millions people which buy Pro just for this. I think iPhone 17 will be the first regular iPhone with 120Hz, and then I just can imagine how Pro models sales will drop. I think this statement is logic, they droped so many features from Pro's to regular iPhone, that there's nothing to left, and they just can't justify 60hz display for upcoming years anymore.

Well done on your grounded comparison and highlighting why you went pro. I feel that point is too quickly glanced over by other techtubers and will resonate with many who don't see 'Promotion' as a 'pro' feature at all but one of the last major tentpole improvements to using a smartphone. Apple will surely know promotion is holding many of us to a higher price point. They won't want to lose that so there will be a new hook or perhaps ultra model before they let this overdue feature go to the base model. These devices are expensive and a lot of people don't have the chance to upgrade regularly so it will be great once it's available at a lower price point. Great Video, ATB

This is actually an awesome review!! Worth the like! I just decided I'm gonna upgrade my iPhone SE 2nd gen to a normal 15, because there is nothing what is worth to buy the Pro. I'm a 38y old CEO, I use my phone to call people, check emails when I'm on the move, make some pictures and videos of my dog and my D, and watch youtube shorts at night in the bed before falling asleep. Working on laptop, watching movies and gaming on a PC, the phone is just a phone. So ppl like me who changes their phone every 3-4 years, actually only the normal 15 worth to buy. Thx for the review again! ;)

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot!

Late to the party but I love this review. I confess that this review came up in suggestions only now but I like the straightforward approach and the demonstration of image comparisons. Storytelling is amazing. Love it!😇

[@insidetechltd]

I'm really glad to hear that! Welcome though, I hope you'll stick around 🥳

[@a_blaser]

Phenomenal review! What you chose to talk about, combined with showing the phones for long periods of time, makes this a review that actually helps people decide between the models. Thank you!

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot! 👊🏼

[@CaffeineFellow]

I appreciate that you made this video. Personally, I will be getting the base model of this iPhone as it has more advantages that I care about (more compact, lighter, better battery, less expensive) and I really don’t notice the 60hz screen.

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks for watching it!

[@horridohobbies]

I bought an iPhone 15. I'm a casual user. I'm also frugal and value-conscious. I upgraded from a OnePlus One. So I never got used to 120Hz refresh. I put an Apple silicone case on the phone. So titanium doesn't matter. The Pro cameras are *not consistently* better than the regular cameras. So for me, the iPhone 15 is perfectly fine for photography. I live in Canada. I saved $360 Canadian, including tax, over the Pro model. This isn't chump change. I determined that the iPhone 15 offered the most bang for the buck. But let's understand that once you get used to 60Hz or 120Hz, you won't care about how smooth the iPhone operation is. Unless you're OCD.

[@joyaclub]

Smaller bezels obviously look nicer, but you will likely not notice as most don't have two phones side-by-side.

[@rorwhs04]

I usually keep my phone for a few years so the upgraded chip is the reason I may choose the pro version

[@RGMSPORT]

Thank you. This is the best review I’ve watched so far💯

[@tango12151]

Thanks! Excellent review. Due to this review, I chose the 15 - don't need the extras offered in the PRO.

I upgraded from an 11 to a 15. Massive upgrade

[@insidetechltd]

[@aroeru]

They should at least give us 90 Hz on the vanilla models. This won't hurt their sales in any way since people often want the pro features. In my country, people only target the pro models. If their budget is low, then they consider the vanilla models. Heck, some even buy the last-gen Pro model. The Pro tag will always dominate LMAO.

[@insidetechltd]

It seems like a very ‘un-Apple’ thing to do a 90 Hz display. I’d expect either 120 or 60. But also this would be a great way to bring the regular iPhones up to a more modern spec but still keep some kind of gap up to the Pro models. I hope they at least consider this, but we’ll see!

[@uneCENT]

I am in the same boat, 100%. I do not want any of the "Pro" features, but can not live with a 60Htz screen in 2024. That is why I went with the Galaxy S24. A better phone from soup to nuts from a company who try's to make good phones rather than gouge customers. I would of purchased the iPhone 15 IF Apple would put a 120Htz screen on it vs. asking their customers to bend over.

[@xuannhu2927]

I bought the iPhone 15 in Vietnam for $760. This is an upgrade from the iPhone 11 after 3 years of use. Initially, I hesitated between buying a used iPhone 14 Pro or the iPhone 15 since the prices were similar. In the end, deciding to buy the new iPhone 15 seems to be the right choice

[@javed3529]

[@blaze761]

I currently have an iPhone 13 which I’ve had since release. I’ve been looking at getting a new phone for the last few months now, but still can’t decide what is best for me. I enjoy taking photos, I am casual about it but like my photos to be well focused and detailed, which I think the iPhone 15 would be perfectly fine at doing. I think the only reason I would get the pro would be for 120hz, which I think is a bit too much just for one feature, considering the regular 15’s price point and abundance of features. Would I really be missing out if I got the regular 15 this year?

[@insidetechltd]

To answer that question I would really ask yourself why you're upgrading your 13 - which is still an excellent phone. What do you not like about it? What do you specifically want to be 'better' about it? If it's just the novelty of having something 'new' or being bored with the 13 (which is totally valid too, by the way) then i'd definitely get a 15. Otherwise, let us know what you want to improve!

[@奇C]

The answer is simple: I need a 1TB storage. If iPhone 15 had this amount of storage, I would choose the non-Pro over Pro.

[@austinp1124]

I just got the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It’s my very first pro model phone. I’m so glad I went with the Pro Max over the normal pro or the 15. It’s way better.

[@sampoblete1856]

I can’t decide, so I decided to buy both of the 15 and 15pro

[@eugenpress1541]

Best video comparison on KZbin!

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you 💚

[@claxcz]

personally the deal breaker for me is battery life, couldnt care less for refresh rate, im not playing fps games on a phone. go for 15 base. you're not missing out on the pros.

[@richardwalters9249]

Plus size is a baseline for me as well as 256GB hard drive. But, aside from that, I'm giving myself one extra option for my upgrade: either doubling the hard drive and going just 15 Plus, or else staying hard drive of 256GB and going PRO. Ironically the price for both of these is exactly the same - $1200.00. So 15 Pro Max 256GB for $1200 .... or 15 Plus 512GB for $1200.00. Hard choice ... still all of my phones will not fit on the phone with the 512 ... but more of them will ... hard choice ...

[@insidetechltd]

Sounds like you need the bigger storage, so 15 Plus seems like the best choice

[@Pieroale01]

Thx so much! Got the regular 15 and it’s perfect for me 🤝

i choose 15 blue since it is the closest to white. i missed old white iphone.

[@insidetechltd]

Yeah I would've liked to see a white iPhone 15 this year

[@MrGHawaii]

You did the testing of wireless networks. I would have went with 15 pro instead of 15 if I had saw this video.

[@iAfroTech]

I use a 13 Pro and a smooth 400€ Android smartphone with 120hz. There are no objective reasons to buy a 60hz smartphone that price. It's non sense to buy a regular iPhone 15.

[@insidetechltd]

What if you're an iPhone user who's never bought a Pro before? Surely they should be buying a 15 and not a Pro, right?

[@benyoung8756]

@AfroTech I completely disagree. I’ve upgraded from a 13 pro to a 15 and can’t be much happier. I have compromised with the 120Hz refresh rate but it doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve got use to the 60Hz rate. I hardly use the RAW format and the telephoto lens so it’s a no brainer to opt for the 15. I’ve also saved myself £200!

[@iAfroTech]

@@insidetechltd Alpine Green 13 Pro 256Gb, March 2022, is my first ever iPhone. I was used to use Android smartphone with high refresh rate. If 15 Pro was my first iPhone, it means you ask me to let go all Androïd features for a 60hz smartphone at that price ? Are you mean ?😅 I deserve the best and the best first iPhone experience for me is an iPhone Pro: there is no other option for me. I rather wait another year to buy a Pro iPhone if i don't have enough money.

[@iAfroTech]

@@benyoung8756 iPhone 13 Pro is a 4-5 years smartphone. I bought it knowing that: 1️⃣ Apple with stay with 120hz for a long time before updating refresh rate. 2️⃣ A15 Bionic will be enough powerful to handle any task and also be better than midrange Snapdragon chip and as powerful than Snapdragon best chip for 2 years at least. 3️⃣I don't plan to buy an iPhone until iPhone 17 Pro. 4️⃣I don't care about resale value. I think we have different view on how and why buying a phone. It's 🆗.

Thank you!

[@SergeyDindikov]

16 pro probably set 6.3"

[@hj-zm1wo]

Tbh the only upgrade is the Pro Motion, 120hz VRR. Other than that its totally not worth to pay extra for the PRO imo.

[@RiqMoran]

If youre not a clutz, the pro with no case looks and feels a lot better thanks to the reduced bezels.

[@taylorlivest9346]

Got an iPhone 11 looking to upgrade to the iPhone 15 think I’m going with the iPhone 15 pro never had a pro

[@francsalazar]

Gotta say apple's strategy indeed works. I got the pro max basically because of pro motion. Coming from a high refresh android, I just couldn't stand the 60hz screen on the plus. I guess that the ram and somewhat newer and better SOC will help future proof the phone, but my purchase decision was basic ally decided on the refresh rate. Can't complain, I'm loving the phone, but I'm sure I'd be loving the 15 plus as well if they had at least 90hz screens.

[@insidetechltd]

I can tell you that having 8 GB RAM on the Pro has made a noticeable difference. Normally you don't notice these incremental changes because the RAM just matches the new software capabilities. But i've noticed difference over the past 8 months or so, especially with holding background apps idle. My decision was also decided on the refresh rate, but I think you've still made a great choice 👍🏼

[@josephmuniz9959]

I ended up going pro this year. I really prefer the non pro models but I hate how the new ones always have a better chip inside. This in my opinion was a bad move, not saying that the older chip is bad or slow in any way at all. The 120hz display is something that should make its way to the standard models this year. The pro has been a good phone though I’m not a huge camera man myself, just as long as they take pictures and I’m good. The usb C is something that I could really care less about but the screen was something I did want so pro was my only option when it comes to IOS.

[@film317]
