If the'iPhone 15 and the'iPhone 14 are similar in all respects regarding their size and weight, it is necessary to take everything even point out that the iPhone 15 sees the arrival of the Dynamic Island, a feature appreciated by fans of the brand, which allows you to quickly find out about alerts and other activities in progress.

When it comes to colors, the iPhone 14 offers much more fantasy than its little brother, offering relatively classic colors as we have already seen on the Pro and Max models of the range. Thus, the The iPhone 15 comes in Black, Pink, Yellow, Blue, and Green. Let's still appreciate the pink, which is very different from the others, and which should be more successful due to the recent success of the Barbie movie.

Where the new iPhone 15 differentiates itself the most from the 14 is obviously by its USB-C port. After years of differentiating itself from other manufacturers by offering the proprietary Lightning port, Europe has brought Apple into line by forcing the American brand to comply with the most widespread standard. So, the iPhone 15 is forced to adopt a USB-C port, which makes it more practical in the sense that chargers and cables of this type are more common.

• Verdict: iPhone 15 for its USB-C port

It is probably at the screen level that the disappointment will be the most important regarding the'iPhone 15 . Indeed, we will note almost no difference with the screen of the iPhone 14, where we would obviously have appreciated a higher refresh rate than the 60Hz once again offered. On the other hand, Apple is finally abandoning its notch dating back to 2017, for a more modern design integrating the Dynamic Island.

• Verdict: iPhone 15 for Dynamic Island

With the transition from the iPhone 13 to the iPhone 14, Apple had created the controversy by using the same processor in its most recent model. The Cupertino company is doing the same thing again, this time equipping its iPhone 15 with the A16 Bionic processor, itself equipping the iPhone 14 Pro and the Pro Max. Well, obviously, the chip that powers the current high-end iPhone will be more than powerful enough to suit owners of the brand's smartphones.

As for the RAM, Apple isn't really changing its formula here either, keeping 6 GB, but this time in LPDDR5, more powerful than the LPDDR4X that powers the iPhone 14.

As for the operating system, it remains identical, the iPhone 14 will also be upgraded to iOS 17 when it becomes available. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 will be able to benefit from the Dynamic Island, unlike its big brother.

• Verdict: iPhone 15 for its hardware evolution

If there is one point on which we can all agree, it is that we would like more autonomy, regardless of the smartphone model. This year, Apple has pleased us to increase its battery capacity by 18%, which brings us to a capacity of 3877 mAh for the iPhone 15 compared to the 3279 mAh of the iPhone 14. Obviously, we often mention it since it is THE big change in this 15 series, but thee recharging will now be done via a USB-C port.

While l 'iPhone 14 gets 12MP main lens, iPhone 15 takes a big leap forward with 48MP main lens, which will obviously result in better photos, but also more readable zooms. As for the selfie camera, it remains the same.

• Verdict: iPhone 15 for its new 48MP sensor

This year, we've all experienced price hikes on everything imaginable. Well, it's also this year thatApple decided not to increase the price of its basic iPhone, but to do even better, lower the price of this one! So, if theiPhone 14 had been launched at 1019 euros, the iPhone 15 will be priced at 969 euros. A pricing policy that is quite contrary to what Apple has accustomed us to in the past, but we are not the ones who are going to complain, obviously.

• Verdict: iPhone 15, with a lower launch price than the iPhone 14

A lot of the improvements of the iPhone 15 have been borrowed from the iPhone 14 Pro, without going as far in terms of the proposition. So, it’s hard to consider the iPhone 15 as a completely new smartphone.

On the other hand, when we compare it with the iPhone 14, the latter is better in every way, Apple having made big efforts such as moving to a 48MP main lens in order not to give the feeling that this iPhone “basic” is a version to buy by default when you are short on budget.

We will also like its USB-C port, which will finally make life easier for many users of iPhone and other Apple products. Of course, we will also appreciate the lower price of the iPhone 15, when the cost of living only increases.
