Your old iPhone vs iPhone 15: Is it worth the upgrade?

If you’ve had your phone for a while, you might feel that irresistible urge to upgrade. Suddenly, everyone else’s phones look a little more enticing!

If you’re considering whether to make the leap to the iPhone 15, you’re probably wondering if it’s worth the upgrade. Whether you’re an iPhone 12 owner, have an older iPhone X, or even something more vintage, we’ll help you figure out if the iPhone 15 is the right move for you.

Design

The iPhone 15 boasts a sleek and contemporary design that makes it stand out from the crowd. Its lightweight profile, edge-to-edge display, and slightly contoured edges make it feel great to hold. Plus, with its revamped camera layout and vibrant new colour options, it’s not just a phone – it’s a fashion statement.

Is the design worth the upgrade? If you’re using an iPhone 12 or newer, the design changes alone may not justify the upgrade. However, for those with older models, the refreshed design and improved durability could be compelling reasons to switch.

Display

The iPhone 15 really ups the ante with a Super Retina XDR display featuring ProMotion technology. You’ll enjoy a more immersive user experience with vibrant colours and sharper details. Its edge-to-edge screen is brighter and more colourful. Whether you’re watching videos, playing games, or browsing the web, the higher resolution means sharper images and text. Everything is crystal clear.

Is the display worth the upgrade? Whether you use your phone for work or personal use, the improved display makes a big difference. Most people probably wouldn’t notice the higher refresh rate. But for gamers, it could be a game-changer (pun intended!). If your phone lacks an OLED screen (iPhone 8 and earlier), the upgrade will be more noticeable and worthwhile.

If you want a phone with a top-notch display, the iPhone 15 is a great choice.

Camera

If you enjoy capturing life’s moments through your phone camera, get ready to be blown away by the upgrades on the iPhone 15.

Its revamped camera system takes mobile photography to new heights with a 48MP main sensor, enhanced computational photography features, and improved low-light performance. The Pro models also feature a periscope lens for better optical zoom. Your photos will pop with vibrancy and detail, even in dimly lit environments

And it’s not just about the photos – with higher resolutions and frame rates, the iPhone 15 will capture great videos, too.  Whether you’re filming for a vlog or capturing a special occasion, the iPhone 15’s cutting-edge camera system will help you to catch and share your favourite moments.

Is the camera worth the upgrade? Photography enthusiasts or those whose older phones struggle in low-light conditions will find the iPhone 15’s camera a significant upgrade. Casual users with recent models may not notice too much of a difference.

Battery Life

If you’re tired of constantly searching for a charger, you’ll be pleased to hear that the iPhone 15 has a significantly improved battery life thanks to the efficiency of the A16 Bionic chip. This means more screen time and less time spent charging. Plus, the iPhone 15 now features a handy USB-C port for faster and more versatile charging.

Is the battery worth the upgrade? If battery life is a daily frustration with your current phone, upgrading to the iPhone 15 could put an end to your charging woes. Plus, the enhanced efficiency and new USB-C port make it an even more compelling reason to upgrade.

So, should you upgrade to the iPhone 15?

If you want a stylish phone with a stunning display, advanced camera, and longer battery life, the iPhone 15 is your perfect match.
