With the Apple iPhone 15 set to release later this year, the big question we look to answer is – Is the iPhone 15 worth buying? What new features can we expect to see on the new iPhone 15?
Apple launched its latest iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models in September 2022. Last year’s launch included a surprise addition to the series called the iPhone 14 Plus. The new iPhone 14 Plus model was a replacement for the now-defunct iPhone Mini.
The iPhone 14 was a let-down
Although there was massive hype for the new iPhone 14, Apple left quite a few disappointed. The regular non-pro variants hardly received any significant updates while the Pro and Pro Max models got significant upgrades compared to their predecessors.
The standard iPhone 14 got minor camera upgrades and additional safety tools. Apple also decided to add the iPhone 14 Plus, a new variant in this category. Besides these two features, Apple fans looking to purchase the new iPhone 14 hardly got any value for money.
The iPhone 14 Pro model meanwhile comes with a new Apple A16 Bionic Chipset. What’s more, Apple added the handy SOS emergency service and crash detection features on the pro models. However, what grabbed everyone’s attention was the Dynamic Island feature available solely on the Pro models.
Now, if you’re confused between the iPhone 14 and the upcoming iPhone 15 about which one is the best buy for you, let’s take a look at the reasons why you should go for the iPhone 14 or wait for the new iPhone 15 to release.
Why buy the iPhone 14 in 2023?
Buying the iPhone 14 in 2023 is worth it for the following reasons:
•The iPhone 14 was launched recently and there is still plenty of time for the latest iPhone 15 to release.
•The iPhone 14 will drop in price significantly before the release of the iPhone 15. Waiting for the price to drop is the most logical thing to do if you’re looking to own the iPhone 14.
•Although the iPhone 14 is similar to the iPhone 13, it’s worth spending on a few upgrades, such as the more-powerful camera. The iPhone 14 borrows the iPhone 13 Pro’s primary camera, which has a bigger f/1.5 aperture sensor. The selfie camera too gets a broader aperture, has a better battery performance, and has an A15 Bionic Chipset with a 5-core GPU.
•The latest iOS 16 software is another win.
•The iPhone 2023 is certainly going to be higher priced due to additional features compared to the iPhone 14.
Why wait for the upcoming iPhone 15?
Waiting for the 2023 iPhone is worth it as it’s expected to come with massive upgrades compared to its predecessors. Here’s why you need to wait and buy the new iPhone 15:
•The regular iPhone 2023 models are expected to come with the powerful A16 Bionic Chipset. Currently, only the iPhone 14 Pro models have Apple’s A16 chipset. The iPhone 15 Pro models will meanwhile come with the A17 Chipset.
•The iPhone 15 is also likely to come with more RAM at 8 GB compared to 6 GB on the current iPhone. These upgrades are as per a leak by Taiwanese research firm TrendForce
The removal of the Lightning port for the USB Type-C interface is one of the most notable changes to the iPhone 15 series. There are reports that Foxconn will still maintain encryption for Apple’s mass-produced USB Type-C interface.#Techinformer pic.twitter.com/NIra46XTdJ

•Apple is planning to ditch the lightning port in favor of USB-C ports.
According to what is reported by my source iPhone 15 Ultra will have 2 front cameras, USB-C and will start from 256GB. iPhone 15 Pro instead will always start from 128GB and will have USB-C but only 1 front camera #iphone #iphone15 #iphone15ultra pic.twitter.com/lIn6OhMNko

•The new iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature 256 GB of storage. The 2023 iPhone Pro meanwhile will most likely come with 128 GB of standard storage. This is as per a leak by Twitter user Majin Bu.
•The biggest reason to wait for the new iPhone is that the standard non-pro versions of the iPhone 15 will likely launch at a lower price compared to the Pro models.
So, there you have it. There are plenty of reasons why you should wait for the new iPhone 15 to launch.
If you own an iPhone 13, going for the iPhone 14 in 2023 isn’t the most logical. Instead, opt for the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro Max.
