Should You Buy iPhone 15 After iOS 18? In this video, we review the Apple iPhone 15 after 9 months on the market to help you decide if the iPhone 15 is still worth buying or not! Share your thoughts, questions, and comments, and enjoy the episode! 😀🎥📱🔥
If I had an iPhone 15 already, then I wouldn't even bother with the upcoming iPhone 16. This already has that USB-C port. That's all I'd want from this vintage of phone. The AI is not very interesting to me, and I'd have to get a Canadian or Mexican model in order to get the SIM card tray.
@mstree9985 honestly it's very little upgrade every year... i don't really do anything that even pushes the 15's processor to the max. (then again, that's just me and my opinion)
I'd pick one of these up but for no more than say $630. Best Buy gives me a $200 sale and I''ll buy one because I don't care for refresh rates and AI feautures. Apple is nuts if they still think they can charge $800 for this phone
I have a 512 GB 14 pro max , I’m thinking of skipping the 16 series as well , it’s still got 95 % battery health , it still runs fine , it has the 120 HZ , camera still does a decent job, I can get by without the whizz bang AI features I think , in my neck of the woods ( straya) this is a 2.5 k purchase , I have my M1 16 GB MacBook Pro, so with a bit of luck I might still get to check out some of the AI stuff on the MacBook 😊.
Yeah, change phone if you have the money to burn or a vlogger getting money from reviewing phones. I used my 11 pro max for 4 yrs and bought 15 last week. My pro max is still hecking fine at 73% battery and will still keep using it
Never pay the newest iPhones $1599 price for 1TB. It’s a recent new model phone like honestly 11 pro max is meant for saving money the newest phone should always be worth it max storage $700 ish. A perfect $500 iPhone. 13 pro max. 14 pro max.
I bought the standard 15 about three weeks ago, I upgraded from the iPhone 11 Pro Max and for me it’s a decent upgrade such as the flatter design and usb type c. One thing I do miss is the stainless steel, premium feeling to the 15s softer aluminium
I currently have a 15 ProMax & the soonest that I’ll upgrade will be the 17 or 18 ProMax. I don’t see enough REAL EVERY DAY usable upgrades to warrant buying a 16 ProMax. If they implemented a real upgrade with the battery, ( 5,000 mah ), improved speakers over the 15 ProMax for Bluetooth music. These are some of the features that matter most to me.
you don't mind not having any of the artifical intelligence features for the next 6 years? its probably going to be a drastic change especially in a few years from now
@@francisdemerin169 I realized people that never used a pro won’t see a difference the regular iPhones are for people that don’t have pro money or just use the phone to make calls n texts or those who don’t care about cameras so it’s gonna sale regardless also for people who want a nice color
Only about 2 months away. Not worth buying the 15. The 16 coming out in 2 months for the same price is going to be a better value, plus you will have a newer design. The 16 will probably retain the vertical cameras for some time, making it look more modern, plus with the newer a18 chip and AI.
i love the 15 ! spec this green one, looks so smooth and fruity lol .. id so get it, but it costs like fkn 1000$ here... even the fkn se3 128gb is like 700$ here... crazy ...
After seeing the Apple event.... I feel a little short changed, since they went from A16 (iPhone 15) to A18 (iPhone 16). They definitely should've made an A17 that keeps the ai parts, but lower something else, for the iPhone 15.
@@nickackermanchannel Nah nick, I think the waiting game is more worth it rn, the iPhone 16 will probably guarantee the AI features for all models and an increase in ram which makes waiting more worth it for those like us who are looking for not only value but a quality experience!
@@nickackermanchannel actually 100% worth because I do instagram content and camera is awesome and for AI I don’t really care cause I use chat got application and ther are many ai tools ,apps and websites
i currently have an iphone 15 plus ihate the size and i want to get the 15 blc of size and i cant afford the more expensive one so plz its ok or bad sir
@@nickackermanchannel yeah, but if you go for Iphone (and iOS is crazy smooth even on 5-6 years old devices, no denial), I'd say pay extra and choose Pro, just because of 120Hz. I don't think price difference is that big. And you're futureproofing your device, too. Look at what 13 Pro Max can do today, still at the top.
The issue with low power mode is not that it goes to 60hz, it’s that on devices with promotion it’s still variable and 60hz is the maximum, so it’s worse than locked 60.
@@nickackermanchannel devices with 60hz screens are always locked 60hz, it would be much better on pro devices if it also turned off variable refresh rate. Idk why they don’t do that, since I’m pretty sure it could be done entirely in software.
I have the 15 pro max, had it for a month and a half. Probably gonna get the 16 pro max when it comes out based on the upgrade. But for other people I think they should just wait. Because the iPhone 16 is gonna be out in no time. Also the ai is mostly only the 15 pro and newer so the basic 15 ain’t gonna get it. So yo should just wait got her 16. Because I bet the base model iphone 16 will get it, unlike the base model 15.
If you are buying Apple, you do not care what's in your pocket. "AI" is not available on any iPhone, that is why they changed the name to Apple Intelligence to avoid being sued. If you are 7 yrs old and want those custom emoji's, then maybe. As long as these run iOS, they will never be a viable option for useful AI.
I got the iPhone 15 it really sucks it can’t get some form of Apple intelligence Features I still feel like they could have said iPhone 14 Pro. , pro max and all 15 , 16 series would get Apple intelligence
I am going to be taking the Apple Ai with a grain of salt and I don’t really trust it because when it comes to Ai it can turn from something good to something bad so be careful
Why the hack is your iPhone 15 Build with an Camera Button under the Power Button? WTF do you live in a paralele world? Should come with iPhone 16 and I didnt saw such an iPhone 15 ever.
If leading smartphone manufacturers care for environment then they should release new products once in two years only. Apple and Samsung stopped including charging bricks in the box citing environmental concerns. If these companies are sincere, they should stop the practice of releasing smartphones every year without any noticeable change.
I regret getting the base 15 as it has the same design as 13 and 14. It lacks all AI features despite having a capable chip, as all the features are exclusive to the A17 Pro chip.
My iPhone 12 mini needed a new screen and battery…the cost of repair plus travel as I’m not in a city with the Genius Bar’s is almost half the price of a new phone - so I bought the 15 Pro in Titanium Blue…No Regerts!! 🤣🤣
for some countries you have to wait until the market is full of iphones for several months otherwise they are going to cost much more then they should. In my country in is about November or December that's why I bought iphone 15 instead of waiting for 16
Just got my 15 PM on The 18th from the 14 plus and nothing different and iOS 18 is going to suck because it’s on 2nd beta and it’s still messed up and font size is smaller
@@dropthebombs1237 I personally plan on upgrading from an 11 also. I suggest waiting for the 16 to release and if there’s a price drop on the 15 u should probably get it

I got iPhone 15 (not pro) a week ago 😂
I have was originally gonna get the normal 15 but then decided what the heck I’ll get the pro. Good thing I did
Maybe not, I'll go for iPhone 16
I have the iPhone 15 I don’t need 120 HRz or Apple intelligence and tbh I don’t like ai it scares me
I think it's best to wait for the iPhone 16 models to see what they come with and their pricing before making a decision on the base iPhone 15.
I'll probably be happy with my iPhone 15 for 6+ years

Why should you buy a 15? AI is feature in iOS. You will just get some new icons in future iOS updates. Save your money and buy 16

The 16 won’t get bigger. Only the 16 pro will get bigger
Already get outdated... less than in a year... but no one is really that surprised, upset, or criticized them...😂
AiOS 18 should run older phone but instead of on device intelligence, it will send it to apple secure server.
I just bought the 15 plus and I love it. Generally with Apple I skip first gen anyway. No regrets
Not worth it imo. Better to wait for 16 or get 15 pro, not a big difference in price

I can't wait for the iPhone 16 baby wooooo
Am using my iPhone 12 for 2 and half years now it’s going smooth even now and am sticking with it till I finish my degree 💪!
On low power mode it may turn down to 30hz 🤔 ! 😂
How i can get ios 18 beta on my phone ?
better just wait for ip 16
It's not a bad idea at this point!
Never buy the base model
I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max, so no. 😂
Well of course, 15 Pro Max is better :)
Why iphone 15 ios 18 flashlight intensity not working
Your battery cycle count is only 8 after 9 months?

Hope 16 will come with 120hz…it‘s 2024.
Yeah it really needs to at this point!
Or 90hz will do , that's still buttery smooth
