Hey, Apple fans, the wait is finally over!

The iPhone 15 series is here, and I could not resist giving them a test drive to see if they are worth that extra dough.

So, please sit back and let us dive right in to find out what is hot and what is not with these new shiny toys from Apple!

Meet the Family

First, let us talk about the new members of the Apple family.

We have the following:

iPhone 15 and 15 Plus: These are the more budget-friendly options starting at $799 and $899. They have a cool new look with a color-infused glass back and this funky thing called Dynamic Island software. Oh, and say goodbye to your pile of different charging cables because these guys come with USB-C ports – one cord to rule them all!

iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max: Starting at $999 and $1,199, these are the big boys of the lot. They come with lighter edges, super fancy processors, and an “action button” for quick actions. Photography lovers, brace yourself for some impressive camera stuff here!

Feeling and Dealing with the Design

Now, let us chat about how these new iPhones feel in your hand.

This time, they have tossed the iPhone Mini to focus on these bigger, bolder designs.

The Pros come in this sleek titanium frame lighter than the previous models – a big win for late-night readers who hold their phone up while lying in bed (we have all been there, haven’t we?).

However, heads up, they have yet to make them any smaller, so you might struggle to squeeze them into tight pockets!

Camera Talk

Let us geek out on the camera features for a bit.

The regular 15 and 15 Plus have stepped up their game with a 48-megapixel main camera, offering a decent 2X zoom.

Now, the Pros have this fantastic telephoto lens – a dream come true for spy dads at the park, snapping pics from afar without getting wet.

However, while that 5X zoom on the Pro Max sounds super cool, I found the shots less crisp than I would have liked.

Battery Life: A Mixed Bag

Moving on to the battery life, it is a bit of a mixed bag. The USB-C port is a nice addition, but transitioning can be a headache, especially if you have been a long-time Apple user.

Now, while I did not see a massive leap in battery life, the 15 Pro Max did last a couple of hours more than the 15 Pro, which is cool. However, watch out; they do get warm while charging.
