This phone is available in Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink colours. Please note that I mentioned the Amazon price, while prices on other platforms may vary based on offers and bank discounts.

The Apple iPhone 15 packs the following items inside the box:

• Phone
• Type C cable
• SIM ejector tool

Before we talk in detail about the Apple iPhone 15, let’s see what the on-paper specs look like:

• Display: 6.1 inches Super Retina XDR OLED
• Chipset: Apple A16 Bionic (4 nm)
• RAM & ROM: 128GB 6GB RAM, 256GB 6GB RAM, 512GB 6GB RAM
• Software: iOS 17, upgradable to iOS 26
• Rear camera: 48MP, 12MP
• Selfie camera: 12MP
• Battery: 3349 mAh
• Weight: 171 grams
• Dimensions: 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm

The Apple iPhone 15 weighs just 171 grams, making it feel light in the hand. It’s easy to carry and doesn’t feel bulky even after long use. This phone features a flat-edge aluminium frame with a soft matte back that looks and feels premium.

I’m using the Blue colour variant, which stands out with a pastel-like tone. It also comes in other shades, such as pink, Green, Yellow, and Black. The colour blends beautifully into the rear glass, which has a frosted texture and resists fingerprints quite well.

The back features a slight curve near the edges, enhancing the grip. However, since it’s a bit slippery, I would recommend using a case, as I have never used it without a cover. The ceramic shield on the front and toughened glass at the back add extra protection.

The dual-camera setup sits in a square module with a slight bump, but it’s less wobbly on a flat surface. The overall build feels solid. The iPhone 15 is also IP68 rated, so it’s dustproof and can survive water splashes and submersion.

The power button is located on the right, while the volume buttons and mute switch are positioned on the left. The bottom has the speaker grille and the new USB Type-C port, replacing the old Lightning port.

In short, the Apple iPhone 15 offers a sleek, durable design with Apple’s classic minimalist touch. It feels premium and is built to withstand the test of time.

The Apple iPhone 15’s camera quality is better than that of other phones, considering its price range. This phone features a dual rear camera, including 48MP and 12MP sensors.

I used many Android phones like Vivo V50, Vivo T4 Ultra, OnePlus 12, Realme GT 7, etc. But every phone’s camera depends on adding saturation to its image.

However, the image maintains its clarity without any saturation or pixelation. You can also make minor edits using the built-in image editor for enhanced clarity.

This phone delivers the best image results when used in proper lighting, whether natural or studio.

You can see my images taken in various conditions. The colours of the trees and sky are nearly true to life. My portrait mode also performs well, with edges being detected perfectly.

However, I must honestly say that the image quality in low light is not excellent. I took several pictures in low light, and the results looked pixelated.

This phone features a 12MP front camera, and the overall result is satisfactory. There is no added colour, and the results are true to reality.

Now, let’s discuss the most exciting and important aspect: videography. I primarily purchased this phone for content creation purposes, and I have used it in various conditions.

The video quality is outstanding. You can use it without an external microphone, as its built-in microphones are capable of capturing audio even in noisy environments. I also tried out its cinematic mode, which perfectly captures the focused subject, although it requires proper lighting conditions to produce the best results.

In my Apple iPhone 15 long-term review, I found that this phone remains the best option for content creation and photography.
