The latest iPhone 15 from Apple features a captivating 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display that promises vibrant colors and sharp details. However, it’s worth noting that this display isn’t a significant difference from the excellent screen of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Both phones have similar sizes and offer a high-quality viewing experience.

“I think they are advertising it the same way they have done with other iPhones, depicting the idea that this one is also somehow better when, in reality, the only thing that has changed is the color of the iPhone and the charger, which is more of an inconvenience than an advantage,” said senior Andrea Celada. 

The iPhone 15 has a powerful A16 Bionic chip and 6GB RAM. This combination makes everything run smoothly and allows you to do many things simultaneously. The iPhone 14 Pro Max also has a top-tier A15 Bionic chip, but there are no significant differences in performance regarding daily use.

“I believe every new iPhone is an improvement in technology,” said senior Maria Castro.

The new iPhone 15 has an improved camera system with a 48-megapixel wide sensor, which promises better picture quality. Yet, the overall camera experience is quite similar to the previous iPhone 14 Pro Max model, with both phones having ultrawide and telephoto lenses, video stabilization, and portrait mode features. 

Despite being a good phone, the iPhone 15 has flaws similar to its predecessor. Users report that the zooming capabilities and dynamic range are not very good, and low-light performance is an area where it could be improved.

“What bothered me was the different charger because most of us already have the old chargers. I don’t understand why they had to add that feature,” said senior Luciana Hoyos.

Finally, while the iPhone 15 offers a tempting package with a clear display, powerful processing, and an advanced camera system, it’s important to recognize its similarities with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. For users seeking the absolute cutting edge, the differences may be minor, especially considering the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s potentially lower price point after a year on the market. When purchasing, it’s always smart to weigh the total upgrades against your needs and budget.
