Reasons to buy iPhone 15 series.

As of now iPhone 14 series is not available at discounted price range and Apple launched its new iPhone 15 series, so it is the chance to enjoy premium features previously limited to pro models at the same price range. Let’s explore some reasons why it’s worth your attention and sets it apart from the competition.

1. A17 pro Bionic power-

The iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max have Apple’s A17 Bionic chipset which is the world’s first 3nm processor. A17 pro is the first of its kind for a smartphone. Apple’s A17 Pro chip is a game-changer with its lightning-fast processing speed, seamless multitasking, energy efficiency, and also capable to support hardware-accelerating for more realistic-looking games. A17 pro chip is up to 20% faster than its predecessor. Choosing an iPhone equipped with the A17 Pro chip is a compelling reason to buy it.

2. USB-C Port-

After the European Union’s forthcoming regulations Apple confirmed the transition to USB-C by last year because the European Union has mandated that all iPhones sold in Europe starting in 2024 must include USB-C ports. EU take that decision because lots of people had to spend extra to get a lightning cable just to charge their iPhone but now in iPhone 15 all pro & non-pro models, lightning port is replaced by USB-C port. Now people can use a single cable for charging up almost all of their electronics devices like smartphones, laptop and other tools.

Data transfer speed with USB-C type cable is very high as compared to lightning cable. Where USB-C type cable support between 5 and 40Gbps, the Lightning cable is limited to a maximum of 480Mbps. USB-C type cable can carry much greater electric current starting from 3A to 5A, where lightning cable is limited to 2.4A max which is limiting the Apple fast charging capabilities so far.

3. Titanium Body-

For years, Apple uses heavy stainless-steel frame, but not for much longer. Now The iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro are both launched with a new Titanium design made out of a grade 5 Titanium. The iPhone 15 Pro models boast a lighter weight and enhanced durability compared to their predecessors because Titanium is 45% lighter than steel and possesses twice the strength of aluminum so, the Titanium body enhances the iPhone 15 Pro Model’s durability and making them more resilient to drops and damage. Titanium frame also exhibits exceptional resistance to corrosion and can withstand extreme temperatures.

4. Apple’s New Action Button-

In all iPhone 15 models, Apple has replaced the Mute switch with a new Action button. Compared to the Mute switch, which has a single function of muting and unmuting the device, this innovative Action button is versatile and serves multiple functions: this includes turning on Camera, Flashlight, Voice memo, focus mode, Magnifier, Translate, Accessibility and shortcut. Utilizing the shortcut app, you can link a preferred app to the Action button and execute multiple actions with a single press of the Action button.

5. Dynamic Island-

After a six-year wait, Apple has not only eliminated the iPhone’s notch but has also introduced a Dynamic Island cutout. Dynamic Island is a pill-shaped interface designed for displaying alerts and notifications, with the ability to change its shape and size as required. While previously only the Pro models featured the Dynamic Island cutout, but it is now available in all models of the iPhone 15. With Dynamic Island users get better visibility of ongoing activities and alerts without switching the context and also it doesn’t eat screen space in full screen mode.

6. Camera upgrades-

All iPhone 15 models are equipped with a new 48-megapixel primary rear camera. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are equipped with dual rear cameras, featuring a 48MP primary lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max boast a triple rear camera system, comprising a 48MP primary lens, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP telephoto lens offering 3x and 5x 120 mm of pure Pro zoom capabilities, respectively.

iPhone 15 models come with next-generation portraits with Focus and Depth Control, so you no longer need to switch to Portrait mode, when photographing people, dogs, or cats, the iPhone now automatically captures depth information. The iPhone 15 series features Smart HDR 5, enhancing skin tones, highlights, and shadows compared to its predecessors.

7. Brighter screen-

The iPhone 15 models feature a notably brighter display compared to their predecessors, the iPhone 14 models. While the iPhone 14 series reached a maximum brightness of 800 nits (with a peak HDR brightness of 1200 nits), the iPhone 15 series boasts impressive enhancements, achieving a peak HDR brightness of 1600 nits and a maximum outdoor brightness of 2000 nits. It enhances the readability of iPhone 15 devices, even under intense sunlight.
