Why Choose iPhone 15 Over Pro Model?
You might have noticed that the iPhone 15 pro doesn’t have much difference from the iPhone 15, except for some minor improvements. But the price is a lot higher in India, more than 50K. That doesn’t seem fair, does it? Let’s look more into it.
- The front of all iPhone 15 models looks the same because of the Dynamic Island feature. The only way to tell them apart is by looking at the back, where they have different triple cameras. It’s hard to know which one is which from the front. They all have the same appearance.
- With the iPhone 15 Pro, you can zoom in 3X without losing quality. The iPhone 15 Pro Max lets you go up to 5X. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have a 2X optical zoom. According to Apple, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have a new 48MP sensor that lets them zoom in 2X without losing much quality. It’s like having a third camera on the back, even though they only have two lenses.
- The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have the A17 Pro chip, which is not a huge deal. It’s only a bit faster (10%) than the A16 bionic chip in the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. But the Pro models do have a better GPU that’s 20% faster than the regular ones. Which is a respectable move.
- The black color option in the iPhone 15 looks almost similar to the Black Titanium color option in the iPhone Pro Models.
- Pro-level display in all models. i.e., 2000 nits.
- The only thing you missing in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus is the refresh rate. The pro version has ProMotion (120 Hz) and the non-pro version has 60Hz.
Who to Buy the iPhone 15 Pro over the iPhone 15?
If you’re a Pro fan with extra cash and you want fast data transfer speed up to 10Gbps, ProRAW pics, a smooth screen, and an always-on display, go for the Pro models. They’re made for you. Otherwise, the regular models (iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus) are fine.
For Rs 79,900, you can get the iPhone 15, or you can splurge Rs 1,34,900 for the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 15 Plus is a great choice if you enjoy gaming and videos, and it’s cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
If you don’t have extra cash you should go for the iPhone 15 over pro model.
Who should buy the iPhone 15 Series?
- The iPhone 15 series has some cool features like Dynamic Island and USB-C, but you don’t need them if you already have an iPhone 14 series.
- iPhone 13 series owners might want to upgrade if they have some spare cash and like the new features (Dynamic Island and USB-C).
- iPhone 12 series and older should consider getting the iPhone 15 series.
Conclusion
The iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro have different target audiences this year. The Pro models are for hardcore phone fans who can afford to pay Rs 1,50,000 and care about things like 10 Gbps speeds, ProRAW photos, and ProMotion. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are so awesome that most people won’t feel the need to spend more on the Pro – unless they want three cameras on the back.
The iPhone 15 costs Rs 79,900, while the iPhone 15 Pro costs Rs 1,34,900. If you love gaming and watching videos, you might prefer the iPhone 15 Plus over the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
