Apple iPhone 15

Technical specifications

Great phone, I do not regret the purchase. I have the 256 GB version because smaller ones are not for me; it operates very smoothly. The battery is satisfying, it has a beautiful display, and the USB-C charging port. This complicates my life a bit because I had to purchase such cables, and I do not know what to do with the existing Lightning cables. As for the change itself, if you were to switch from the 14, you will not find many differences at all, at least not ones noticeable during use. I will not write about the specifications because they can be compared on this website, but upgrading from the 13 or older models to the 15 is sensible.

I have had this phone for 2 weeks. I switched from a Huawei Mate 20 Lite and I notice a really big change. First of all, the camera is, frankly speaking, excellent, although the fact is that it does not take such nice photos at night, but they are still acceptable (unless I am incompetent and do not know how to take photos with it at night). The speaker is a masterpiece; it is really loud and does not hiss at all. I also notice a very big difference in screen resolution, even though it only has 60 Hz, the difference is really visible. And what is important, the system does not freeze at all; so far it has not experienced any lag. The phone is perfect in terms of size and fits very well in the hand. I was very surprised by this feature, namely Face ID; it works every time and from really any angle. The iOS system is very simple, I got used to it quickly, and so far I have no intention of switching back to Android. And the Dynamic Island is indeed useful sometimes. I personally recommend it to everyone, but at a reasonable price. Phone purchased for 3800.

I have had the phone since February 2024 and I am very satisfied. I switched from a Samsung S21 FE and it was a very good transition for me. The smoothness of operation is significantly better than in the case of the predecessor. Many applications run simultaneously without any stuttering. The battery lasts very well for a full day under standard load, providing about 6.5 hours of activity, and I charge it to 80%, although the phone itself sometimes charges to 96%. This is, of course, with the charging limit set. The ease of use and smoothness are excellent. A disadvantage for me is the lack of a possibility to close all background applications at once. I was positively surprised by the excellent performance with products from other brands. It works excellently with Yamaha regarding home cinema, remarkably with headphones from other manufacturers—in my case Edifier—and with a smartwatch from a Chinese brand; I am even surprised that Apple applications, such as the Health app, work with these devices. For me, it is a significant positive and worth purchasing.

I purchased the phone from Polish distribution at the suggestion of my daughter, who uses an iPhone, while I had always used Android flagship models from various brands. To begin with, the speakers are excellent and the battery also lasts through a full day of quite intensive use. The call quality is great, the display is not harsh on the eyes, and the vibrations are also of a high standard. Surprisingly, the reception is good as well; in places where I previously had no signal, the iPhone 15 shows about two bars and I can receive calls normally. Now for some minor drawbacks: the cameras are good, but at this price, I have had better ones in certain flagships from other companies. It takes very poor macro photos and has difficulty focusing. The keyboard does not remember recently entered text, and it is also not possible to download a movie from the internet, though that is a matter of the operating system. In summary, the phone is nice, but not for 3500 PLN. I think 2500 PLN would be a fair price for what it offers.

My girlfriend has this phone in the 6/128 GB version, blue color. She says it is excellent and takes very good photos both at night and during the day. The 48 MP camera and 2x telephoto lens make the photos simply incredible. It has been equipped with iOS 17 since it was new (purchased in September 2023) and currently runs iOS 26. After transitioning from an iPhone 13 4/256 GB (Starlight), it is much better. She mostly uses it for writing SMS, MMS, making calls, social media, and taking photos. I will not even mention the processor – it is a very efficient 6-core Apple Bionic A16. Both she and I like the Dynamic Island. I personally own an iPhone 14 Blue 6/128 GB. The phone is, in my opinion, worth the price and quite inexpensive as of April 2026. A new unit with 6/128 GB memory at Media Expert costs 2899 PLN; when she bought it at iSpot in 2023, it cost 4699 PLN.

Switching from iPhone 12 to 15. There are essentially three differences: the change to a matte body - finally!; the notch replaced by the dynamic island - it is definitely a change for the better, however it is a shame that Apple has not yet found a way to hide the FaceID sensors under the screen, as the competition did with the fingerprint reader. However, then their smartphone would look like every other one, and I suspect that is what Apple wants to avoid at all costs; the third difference is the camera - the photos are simply beautiful, which is what I expected. I considered buying the S24 at almost the same price, but I stayed with the same brand. The only things I miss are the telephoto lens and 120Hz refresh rate, but I will not pay an extra 1100 PLN for the Pro version. Generally, I recommend it at the current price level - 3499 in electronics stores.

My experience with it lasted 6 hours. It is not possible to easily transfer music, photos, or other files from a computer. After adding music or photos, the phone does not see them in folders, but everything is unorganized. To do anything with it, to configure it for yourself, you have to exert a lot of effort and search extensively on the internet for instructions on what and how to do it. I wanted to switch from Android, but after 6 hours of struggling, I decided to return the smartphone to the store. The appearance of the interface, menu, and submenus reminds me of old Android 3 or 4. I definitely did not like it.

And so it happened. Martyna (fiancée) said: "do not take 14 Plus, take 15", but I did not listen, until now I have learned from my own experience that the 15 is better. After the transition from iPhone 14 Plus, the difference is huge. Key advantages: a more efficient Apple A16 Bionic processor, a better screen and brightness Liquid Retina OLED XDR with 2000 nits brightness, Dynamic Island, USB-C port, a better camera: instead of 12 MP it has 48 MP, plus 2x optical zoom. As for the color, Martyna recommended Blue, the same one she has now. :) My memory version is 6/128 GB. I have been a user since June 3, 2026.

Overall the phone works without any problems. Games and social media run smoothly. The phone is virtually ideal for people who only make calls, write text messages and browse the internet a bit. Previously I had an iPhone 12 and for me the iPhone 15 is definitely one of the most economical models from Apple. The ratio of quality to price is at a good level and in my opinion the iPhone 15 is a more economical phone than for example the iPhone 16e. Overall the only thing I can complain about is the battery which is not the worst but not the best either because it lasts about 1 day.

Wonderful! Switching from 8 to 15. I have the 512 GB version because the phone is also used for work, primarily recording videos and taking photos. 256 GB was already sufficient, but now it is even better. Camera - great quality, sound - great quality, operating speed? I have had iPhones for 10 years and there has never been a situation where any of them, regardless of how full the memory was, slowed down in any way. This is due to the closed iOS system. I install a large number of games and do not limit myself in any way. I have nothing to find fault with.
