![]() ![]() ![]() One of my issues with the Dynamic Island over the past year was the fact that not a lot of the apps that I use on a day-to-day basis really make use of the feature. Christine Romero-Chan / Digital TrendsĪpple also brought the Dynamic Island to the standard iPhone 15 models after it was an iPhone 14 Pro exclusive last year. Maybe at some point, Apple could go with at least 90Hz displays on the standard models. The iPhone 15 display isn’t bad, but the 60Hz is certainly dated when you look at other options on the market. It certainly isn’t quite like going from non-Retina to Retina (iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4), which was a very obvious difference. Still, while the refresh rate is disappointing compared to the competition, the average non-techie person probably is not going to notice. After I got my personal iPhone 15 Pro and have been using that, going back to the standard iPhone 15 display makes it easy to see that scrolling is slower and definitely not as smooth. But that may be due to the newness of the device and my excitement about getting it. When I first got the iPhone 15 and started using it, I honestly didn’t notice the 60Hz refresh rate. That’s because Apple continues to use a 60Hz refresh rate for the standard iPhone displays, which is disappointing considering the $799 starting price. But if you’re coming from a Pro model with ProMotion, or even an Android phone, then you might notice some janky scrolling and transition animations. For the average person, this display is great. The colors are bright and vibrant, text is sharp and crisp. The display on the iPhone 15 looks pretty good. It reaches 1,000 nits for normal brightness and up to 2,000 nits for peak outdoor brightness. Resolution is 1179 x 2556 pixels with a 19:5:9 aspect ratio and 461 pixels per inch (ppi) density. iPhone 15: screen Christine Romero-Chan / Digital Trendsįor the standard iPhone 15, we have a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display that supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision. On the bottom, however, you will now find a USB-C port for charging, as Apple finally eliminated Lightning. Unlike the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus still have the Ring/Silent switch, so that is unchanged, along with the volume and side buttons. Speaking of aluminum frame, as someone who has only really used the Pro models of iPhones, I appreciate the aluminum being pretty resistant to fingerprints and smudges, unlike stainless steel and titanium. The iPhone 15 has an incredibly nice matte finish. This is a welcome change, as it definitely helps with making it feel more ergonomic to hold - especially when combined with the lightweight aluminum frame. Christine Romero-Chan / Digital TrendsĪlso, unlike previous models, the iPhone 15 has a bit of curvature going on the edges, so it is not as sharp as before. But the blue appears to look especially bad with how pale it is. It seems that pink looks the best, and green is not as bad as I originally thought. My only complaint with the “color-infused” glass is that the colors are super light and pale for most of the lineup. At least for me, it does not feel as slippery as other models. The matte glass also seems like it makes it easier to hold the iPhone 15 without a case. This should also apply to the other lighter colors as well, but I’m not sure about the black option. With this new matte glass, it’s very hard to see fingerprints, at least on the green model that I was sent. Thankfully, the iPhone 15 eliminates this problem by using a new, “color-infused” glass back that results in an incredibly nice matte finish. The glossy texture meant it would always be a fingerprint and smudge magnet. Previous models of the standard iPhone had a glossy glass back, which I was never a big fan of. ![]() You have flat edges, an aluminum frame, a glass back, and a diagonal dual camera layout. On the surface, the iPhone 15 looks similar to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 that came before it. iPhone 15: design Christine Romero-Chan / Digital Trends The best phones in 2023: our 15 favorite smartphones right nowĭo all of these changes make the standard iPhone 15 worth it?
