Pineapple under the C

Apple iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are assembled in India now so there's more reason for everyone to hop on board.

It sits in your palm nicer this time. Apple’s boxy design has caused a pinky-cutting ruckus in my life and I am all for the rounded-edge smartphones of yore. The Apple iPhone 15 won’t seduce your palms but it does a better job than the 14. The display, frame and back glass do not have Rubik’s cube-like sharp edges.

Do you want a 120Hz display or the Dynamic Island? If your answer is ‘both’ then go read our Apple iPhone 15 Pro review but if you care little for how fast you can scroll past Elon Musk’s tweets then the 15 is pretty much like last year’s Pro model minus the 120Hz refresh rate.

Everything else about the display is pretty much the same as the Apple iPhone 14. It’s a 6.1-inch display with the same contrast, resolution and colour gamut. Although, the Apple iPhone 15 has a brighter display now. It’s as bright as the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max and equally good when you’re sitting under harsh sunlight.

The processor and 48MP main camera seems like it’s snatched from the Apple iPhone 14 Pro models of last year and plonked here but that’s not entirely true. The processor feels a wee bit snappier in benchmarks and the camera has new algos to take it a step futher than before.

Two is better than one
