At the presentation held on September 12, Cook and the company presented 4 new smartphones.
The most interesting new product was the basic line iPhone 15because it is noticeably different from the past iPhone 14. Now we compare this device with all the differences and choose the best.
1. Dimensions and body – the new product is again a little larger
Dimensions of the new one iPhone 15 what to do 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.80 mm with weight 171 g. Front and back panels coated glass Ceramic shield side. Aviation impact frame with “color filling”. Perhaps the paint on the end will be more resistant to paint application.
The case is protected according to the standard IP68Covering the lantern at the entrance up to 6 meters in 30 minutes.
Available in black, pale blue, pale green, pale yellow and pink.
Last year’s sizes iPhone 14 what to do 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.80 mm with weight 172 g. Front and back panels coated glass Ceramic shield side. The frame is also due to aircraft exposure, but with the usual stains.
The case, as in the new product, is protected according to the standard IP68Covering the lantern at the entrance up to 6 meters in 30 minutes.
Available colors: black, white, yellow, blue, purple and red.
Which dimensions and body are better: Externally, it will be very difficult to find differences in size and weight. Just curious how it was in those days iPhone 6 The developers have set the maximum possible thickness of the gadget, and then year after year they monitor the dimensions of the smartphone down to the millimeter.
Topic: How has iPhone protection changed in 15 years? At first they “lost weight”, but now it’s the other way around
But from the point of view of the color palette, it is better on the side of the previous model. The choice of colors is important here, the color of the case is more memorable and rich, there is a classic white color and a branded product RED.
2. Display – island against bangs
In the new iPhone 15 configured Super Retina XDR matrix with diagonal 6.1″ and develop 2556 by 1179 pixels. Picture density 460 pixels per inch.
Matrix brightness 1000 nitsbefore 1600 nits in HDR mode and up to 2000 nits in peak mode on the street. This is a new feature that is not present in previous smartphone models. Let’s see how this increase in peak dynamics works for replacement.
The biggest difference is the move from the notch to the newer Dynamic Island design, which only iPhone 14 Pro models received last year.
In past iPhone 14 also installed Super Retina XDR diagonal display 6.1″ and develop 2532 by 1170 pixels. The image density is similar – 460 pixels per inch.
Matrix brightness 800 nits I do 1200 nits in HDR mode. No increase in the level of illumination on the street is provided.
At the top of the display there is a familiar notch without interactive software elements.
Who has the better screen: Victory is definitely on the side of the new model. From a technical point of view, the matrix is brighter and has a mode for changing brightness in the sun, but from an image point of view there is a more fashionable Dynamic Island instead of the “outdated” bangs.
3. Hardware – the only difference is in synthetic tests
New iPhone 15 runs on last year’s top processor A16 Bionic with 6 CPU cores and 5 GPU cores. There is support for a 16-core system Neural engine.
Last year, such chips received only a line iPhone 14 pro. The amount of news RAM is still unknown (it is unlikely that there will be more RAM). Available models with storage 128, 256 and 512 GB.
Last year’s iPhone 14 runs on an older chip A15 Bionic. It also has a 6-core processor and a 5-core graphics processor, and there is support for a 16-core system. Neural engine.
The amount of RAM is 6 GB. Available models with storage 128, 256 and 512 GB.
Who has better iron: the increase in power of the new smartphone can be estimated at approximately 20-25%, this will only be noticeable in benchmarks. In the example, both devices cope perfectly with all tasks.
4. Camera – a major improvement in the position line.
New iPhone 15 Got a dual camera. Shirik 48 MP, f/1.6 and extra wide 12 MP, f/2.4. The additional module remained the same, but the main one was seriously upgraded.
Thanks to the new 48-megapixel sensor, the smartphone can take full-frame crops, which will be equivalent to 2x optical zoom. This is how the Cupertino team fieryly replaced the telephoto camera in the iPhone line.
Among the technological differences it is worth noting Smart HDR 5th generation and an updated portrait mode.
Last year’s iPhone 14 connects with a pair of cameras: shirik 12 MP, ƒ/1.5 and extra wide 12 MP, f/2.4 . There is only a 2x distance zoom when switching to an ultra-wide angle. There is no analogue to optical zoom.
Supported Smart HDR 4th generation.
Who has the better camera: Warsaw wins for moving the account to a 48-megapixel matrix. This gives you not only the ability to shoot with manual settings at a higher resolution (via external apps), but also 2x zoom without an additional telephoto lens.
Video shooting options and front camera specifications vary.
5. Other differences – slight transition to Type-C
▶ B iPhone 15 Provides a connector for charging and data synchronization Type-C instead of comfort Lightning. But there is only support for specifications USB 2.0which means the information transfer speed will not be improved.
Topic: What you need to know about the Type-C port before the presentation of the new iPhone 15. Standard, types and speed
▶ New processor iPhone 15 an updated chip is used Apple Yu2 for precise opening of the gadget in the house. For previous models – Apple U1. Both chips do not work in Russia.
All differences are brief
And now we can compare all the changes in the devices.
▣ Dimensions are minimal. More important is the difference in body colors. Last year’s models are brighter, there are white and red colors. The new body color options are currently fewer and paler.
▣ Screen in iPhone 15 benefits from better peak evening and outdoor image viewing. It also has a more modern island instead of bangs.
▣ The hardware in smartphones is almost the same. You definitely won’t notice the difference.
▣ New cameras iPhone 15 guarantees. The main module is now 48-MP with loss of 2x crop/zoom.
▣ Of the other differences, it is worth noting only the transition to the Type-C connector for charging.
The price at the start of sales in the US has not changed. It’s all the same US$799 for the base model. Of course, last year the smartphone became cheaper, Cupertino kept it in the current lineup and is selling it 100 dollars better.
This year, the difference between the two generations of the base smartphone has become noticeable. For $100 you get a brighter sensor, a stylish moving island, a more powerful same-generation processor, and a well-specced camera. As a bonus, there is a Type-C connector for charging.
At the same time call iPhone 14 obsolete ones are also not allowed. The smartphone received a great discount. It will please those who do not need the advantages described above.
In fact, the Cupertino team went on the shelves to two excellent models that their buyer managed to find.
