Apple iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are almost Pro-grade on specs and experience

Think of these non-Pro phones, as comparable with last year’s Pro iPhones. Suddenly, it all starts to make sense. Why we say that is because the power comes from the powerful A16 Bionic chip that has already done duties in the iPhone 14 Pro series, a 48-megapixel camera system upgrade that also draws from a new image processing pipeline, Dynamic Island instead of a thick notch, brighter display and USB-C.

Headline changes, alongside some tweaks including what Apple calls a colour-infused glass back (you’ll notice dual-tonality with the camera module), and yet prices haven’t changed compared with last year. It is not that complicated.

The iPhone 15 prices start at Rs.79,900, while the iPhone 15 Plus is priced at Rs.89,900 onwards. To be able to give these iPhones a significant experiential step forward while not succumbing to inevitable inflation adds value from the outset. But the “Plus”, if you want the larger screen. A significant upgrade if you have an iPhone from a couple of years ago. Or even earlier. In fact, a step forward from even the iPhone 14.
