Each time an iPhone is released, the same question arises on the Apple planet: should I change to take this brand new iPhone? It’s beautiful, it’s attractive, it has lots of new technical features… but is it really reasonable?
To answer this cruel dilemma, we have put together a little comparison with the three previous models. Please note that we are only talking regarding basic iPhones here and not the Pro models. On the other hand, you can replace the iPhone 15 with the iPhone 15 Plus, with the exception of the size of the screen and that of the battery, the rest of the comparison remains. Likewise if you have an iPhone 13 mini or an iPhone 12 mini, the comparison remains valid.
Is iPhone 15 better than iPhone 12
Compared to the iPhone 12, the iPhone 15 adds:
Dynamic Island; USB-C port; Accident detection; Emergency SOS via satellite; Autofocus on selfie sensor; Photonic Engine to enrich colors and details in photos; Action mode for filming in motion; A16 Bionic chip versus A14 Bionic; From 128 to 512 GB of storage versus 64 to 256 GB of storage; Switching to a 48 Mpx sensor on the wide angle; New generation portrait mode with focus and depth control Weight of 171 g compared to 162 g; Thickness of 7.8 versus 7.4 mm; Brightness of 1600 nits versus 1200. Photographic styles; Cinematic mode; Bluetooth 5.3; High dynamic range gyroscope versus three-axis gyroscope; Dual eSIM compatibility; High g-force accelerometer; Dual ambient light sensor; Battery life: up to 20 hours of video playback versus 17 hours. Note also that starting with the iPhone 13, Apple has made great progress on the subject.
Should you go for the iPhone 15 with an iPhone 12?
Yes. The iPhone 15 is undoubtedly a real improvement over the iPhone 12. Of course, everything depends on the condition of the latter: where is its battery, is its screen damaged or not? Whatever happens, you just have to look at the quantity of new features offered on the iPhone 15 listed above to be convinced: there is something to appreciate the transition to the new model. On the other hand, don’t panic with the ban on the sale of the iPhone 12, your phone has not suddenly become dangerous.

Compared to the iPhone 13, the iPhone 15 adds:
Dynamic Island; USB-C port; A16 Bionic chip versus A15 Bionic; Weight of 171 g versus 173 g; Thickness of 7.8 versus 7.65 mm; Brightness of 1600 nits versus 1200.

Should you go for the iPhone 15 with an iPhone 13?
It is already more complicated to advise you to change. The new features are certainly present, but none are really notable or necessary enough to justify upgrading to the iPhone 15 when you have an iPhone 13. Not even Dynamic Island and the USB-C port which are the real new features here.
Is iPhone 15 better than iPhone 14
The iPhone 15 has these few additional advantages compared to the iPhone 14:
Dynamic Island; USB-C port; Back with matte finish; A16 Bionic chip versus A15 Bionic; Switching to a 48 Mpx sensor on the wide angle; Next-generation portrait mode with focus and depth control; Brightness of 1600 nits versus 1200.
Should you go for the iPhone 15 with an iPhone 14?
The battery life is the same, the format is the same, the chip is slightly more powerful, we have a little more brightness, a more efficient photo sensor, USB-C and Dynamic Island. Nothing that really justifies moving from the 2022 model to that of 2023 in our eyes. Whatever happens, we will never advise you to change your product following just one year of use.
