The latest iPhone 15 brings some updates, but is it worth upgrading?<\/p>\n

Enough with all the rumours and leaks, it’s now official – Apple has unveiled the new iPhone 15<\/a> and we have all the details confirmed. How does it compare to the 2022 iPhone 14<\/a> and should you upgrade – let\u2019s dig in to all the changes\u2026<\/p>\n

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14: USB-C is now standard<\/p>\n

Everyone knew this was going to happen but it’s now officially confirmed – the new iPhone 15 features a USB-C port to replace the lightning port that has been used on iPhones for years.<\/p>\n

USB-C is the same connection port you find on most Android phones, MacBooks, iPads and more so it’s nice to see it standardised on the iPhone 15 too so we can all use the same cable.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 14 still includes the trusty lightning port so you\u2019ll need a lightning cable to charge that model. They usually come with one, and if you\u2019re a long-term iPhone user, you\u2019ve no doubt got a drawer full.<\/p>\n

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14: Dynamic Island arrives
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

iPhone 14 doesn\u2019t support Dynamic Island but the new iPhone 15 does. Dynamic Island is the Apple-term for its interactive notifications bar at the top of the screen that is used to hide the camera notch.<\/p>\n

It can be used for all sorts, including showing you what music is playing, flight times and more.<\/p>\n

Beyond that change, the displays on the iPhone 15 and 14 models are the same – 6.1 inch on the standard model and 6.7 inch on the Plus model. Both are OLED displays but the iPhone 15 is slightly brighter than the iPhone 14.<\/p>\n

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14: Processing power<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The iPhone 15 features the A16 Bionic chip – this is the same chip that was found in last year\u2019s iPhone 14 Pro<\/a>. This is something Apple now does – the chip found in the standard iPhone is not as fast as the Pro model.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 14 is powered by the A15. In reality, unless you\u2019re using really demanding applications for video editing and gaming, you\u2019re unlikely to notice a huge difference between the two in day-to-day use.<\/p>\n

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14: More megapixels
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The iPhone 15 has a 48MP (megapixel) main rear camera which is an upgrade from the 12MP main camera on the iPhone 14. This effectively lets you take more detailed photos, assuming you\u2019re going to print them out at hang-on-your-wall size. On screen, it\u2019s not going to be hugely noticeable but low-light mode has been improved so shots at night should be better on the iPhone 15.<\/p>\n

Apple has also upgraded Portrait mode on the iPhone 15 – faces (including those of dogs and cats) are automatically recognised and you can now add the portrait effect to any photo after it has been taken.<\/p>\n

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14: New colours<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

The iPhone 14 is available in midnight, purple, starlight, red, blue and yellow. The new iPhone 15 is available in five colours: pink, yellow, blue, green and black. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||35px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14: Summary
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

They\u2019re very similar, although one notably costs a fair bit less – especially if you buy it refurbished. The main upgrades you\u2019ll be paying for on the iPhone 15 are the 48MP main camera, Dynamic Island, a faster chip and slightly smoother design, and of course USB-C connectivity.<\/p>\n

No doubt the iPhone 14 will continue to be a great option for many over the next few years.<\/p>\n
