Design
One of the most noticeable changes to the iPhone 15 is its new design. The phone now has rounded edges, which makes it feel more comfortable in the hand. It also has a new camera bump that is less pronounced than the one on the iPhone 14.
Display
The iPhone 15 has the same 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display as the iPhone 14. However, the new display is brighter and has better contrast. It also supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
Performance
The iPhone 15 is powered by the new A16 Bionic chip, which is the fastest mobile chip on the market. The A16 Bionic chip is up to 20% faster than the A15 Bionic chip in the iPhone 14.
Camera
The iPhone 15 has a new 48-megapixel main camera. The new camera sensor is larger than the one in the iPhone 14, and it has better low-light performance. The iPhone 15 also has a new 12-megapixel ultrawide camera and a new 12-megapixel telephoto camera.
Battery life
The iPhone 15 has the same battery life as the iPhone 14. This means that you can expect to get around a day of use on a single charge. Overall The iPhone 15 is a solid upgrade over the iPhone 14.

Good product
HINDUSTAN ELECTRICALS –
The display is impressively bright, despite the 60 Hz, which I thought might be a drawback coming from a 120 Hz Android device. Surprisingly, it feels the same. The battery life is solid, providing around 1.5 days for mild phone users. As a developer, with light usage for content consumption and social media, I get around 8 hours of screen on time with 25-30% battery left. It charges quickly to 50% and then trickle charges to 100%, adapting to usage patterns for faster charging. Initially, there were some battery drain and heating issues, but they resolved as the phone learned my usage patterns.
Now, the camera is impressive, especially in low light conditions. Despite lacking a dedicated long exposure mode, the default night option, averaging around 3 seconds, captures details even in the dark. Compared to the iPhone 14 and S21FE, the camera quality is top-notch. The auto portrait detection is a standout feature. Believe me no one explain the real use of that auto portrait theoretically until you try it.
In terms of network, the dual 5G standby supports Vi and JIO 5G (eSim). Inside my house, I get around 500 Mbps, and outside easily surpass 1 Gbps. Call quality is excellent, with two introduced modes in the mic option available in the control center.
This is my personal opinion; I’ll update if I find anything noteworthy.

Just made the transition and here’s my POV on the first ~2 month of use
Pros
– Battery Life is awesome, easily get about a day plus on this, so no Compliants
– Screen fluidity is smooooooth! Understandable as I’m transitioning into an OLED from LCD in XR. The panel gets a solid peak brightness quotient so happy here
– Screen brightness is good as compared to XR, 2200 nits, but I hardly go beyond 30% brightness to save some juice. Whilst outside I did crank it up and it’s spotless
– Dynamic Island is fun, yet to use it to the fullest. Like the way it shows the ETA on delivery and Uber. Simple solution instead of you having to get into the app to check on the ETA
– Weight, this phone is soo bloody light!! Understandable as XR was a brick, this is soo welcome
– Camera is awesome, love the 48MP intervention, the portrait mode and cinematic mode does the job for me.
– The Apple eco system, I enjoy seamless integration of my Watch, Mac, IPad Air and IPhone
– Apples approach on Security!
– Transferring data from my XR to 15 using the built in app is flawless
Cons
– The phone was over heating , there is a solution to this from Apple = back up the phone and then erase and reset the phone… including your eSIM settings.. once done set up the phone with the back up….. works like a charm
– I still believe Apple should have thrown in a charging brick with such purchases
Industry memes
– USB C : honestly don’t give a jack for the reviews out there on this. It’s just a mode of charging for me and that’s it. I’m not going to be transferring any data so yea, 2.0 speed yadadada – thank you so much
– Blue is not blue but white! Think people whining about this should go back to 13/14 or those ludicrous blues in Androids!! These are pestle shades people!!
– Buying an Apple product to show off!! I mean, you even serious? You buy a product and then comment on why you should not buy one?
– 60hz refresh rate for a 80k phone : save your jokes people, there are many of us who appreciate quality and security than how the screen refreshes. For non gamers like me, panel that is here is apt. I’ve seen a ton of folks buying 120hz phones and using it only to make calls, watch some videos and for texting
Tips of managing battery health
– Switch off background app refresh for apps you don’t need back ground refresh
– Avoid wireless charging as this heats your devise up
– I charge my phone only using a power bank not direct wired or wireless charging
– Don’t let the battery go below 20%, keep it always between 95% and 20%
– Switch off location services and allow only certain app that needs your location service
– Switch on Charging Optimisation under the battery section
– I don’t use vibrate mode for rings/incoming calls etc
– My XR after 5 years of use has 86% battery health so I guess I know what I’m recommending above
Vendor Experience : Appario Retail Private Limited. 5/5, been a regular customer and they have never disappointed me even once. The purchase experience is breezy and quick, thanks team for the support and look forward to the collaboration in the future.
….. watch out for this space. Will keep updating in case of significant change in experience
