This iPhone 15 vs. iPhone 15 Pro in-depth comparison will help you figure out the exactdifferences between both the iPhone 15 and #DoYouThinkIAmSexy? (2022) Full Pinoy MovieiPhone 15 Pro. In addition to price, design, display, and battery life, we'll explore how the cameras differ, too — a popular request among prospective buyers.
The iPhone 15 costs $799, but the iPhone 15 Pro is more expensive at $999. As such, you're likely thinking, "Is the iPhone 15 Pro really worth an extra $199?"
I won't stand on a soapbox and demand that you get one iPhone over the other. Instead, I'm going to give you the power to make a well-informed decision. Once I tell you all the differences between the two, you'll have the knowledge that will help you decidewhich phone is best for you.
Let's dive into this iPhone 15 vs. iPhone 15 Pro comparative analysis, shall we?
Note: The next-gen iPhones have dropped and started shipping on Sept. 20. Check out our reviews of the new iPhone 16and iPhone 16 Pro.
SEE ALSO: iPhone 16 rumors: Release date, price, specs, features, and moreThe iPhone 15 has a starting price of $799 via Apple's official website (you can also grab one from Best Buy for $23 a month via Verizon)— and it comes with the following specs:
128GB of storage
6GB of RAM
A16 Bionic chipset
6.1-inch display
Keep in mind that you can get more storage, but it'll cost you. If you want 256GB of storage, the iPhone 15 will set you back $900. Speaking from experience, I'd recommend getting the 256GB variant, particularly if you love hoarding photos and videos. Otherwise, the 128GB model will eventually haunt you with a "storage full" error, typically a year and some change in, forcing you to delete your treasured media content.

But if you have enough money to spend on that, you'd be better off upgrading to the iPhone 15 Pro with 256GB of storage, which is exactlythe same price (i.e., $1,099).
Speaking of the iPhone 15 Pro, it has a starting price of $999 via Apple's official website (and from Best Buy for $24.99 a month via Verizon) and comes with the following specs:
128GB of storage
8GB of RAM
A17 Pro
6.1-inch display
The most expensive iPhone 15 Pro, packed with 1TB of storage, will set you back $1,499. But again, if you have that kind of money to blow, you might as well upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 512GB of storage, which costs $100 less at $1,400.
Again, I'd recommend upgrading to at least 256GB of storage if you have a treasure trove of media you'd like to store. However, if you don't mind deleting a few stuff along the way, or you have cloud storage, the 128GB variant should be fine.

The iPhone 15, wrapped in an aluminum enclosure, doesn't have a hint of titanium. Womp, womp! It is, however, a little lighter than its Pro sibling (6.03 ounces vs. 6.6 ounces).
As far as colors are concerned, I'd argue that the iPhone 15's colors are more fun and lively.
The iPhone 15 comes in five fun colors. Credit: Apple It comes in five colors:
Pink
Yellow
Green
Blue
Black
The iPhone 15 Pro is a little bit more low-key and subtle — more mature and sophisticated.

Natural Titanium
Blue Titanium
White Titanium
Black Titanium
One minor difference between the two phones is the iPhone 15 Pro's Action Button feature located on the left side of the chassis. The iPhone 15, on the other hand, still has a boring mute switch instead. What's so great about the Action Button? You can customize it to launch any app or task you want.
For example, with my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I've set theAction Button to launch the Notes app since I use it so frequently, but the possibilities are endless. You can set up the Action Button to launch whatever app you want.
The iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro actually share the same display size: 6.1 inches. If you want something bigger (e.g., 6.7 inches), consider getting the iPhone 15 Plus or the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Although the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max share the same screen size, they do not have the same display tech. For example, the iPhone 15 does nothave ProMotion technology nor does it have an Always-On display — but the Pro model has both of these perks.
What's ProMotion? It's just a fancy term for, "This phone has a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz." In other words, the iPhone 15 Pro has a zippier display that adapts to your workflow. If you're simply scrolling through an article, the refresh rate will slowdown. However, if you fire up a fast-paced mobile game, the refresh rate will pick up.
Conversely, the iPhone 15 has a refresh rate of 60Hz, which will feel slower only if you've ever owned a phone with a refresh rate of 90Hz or higher. And for the uninitiated, an Aways-On display lets you get information like time, widgets, and more at a glance because — well — the screen is always on. I can't say the same for the iPhone 15.
Both have the snazzy Dynamic Island featured at the top of the display, and plus, the duo can climb to a peak brightness of 2,000, according to Apple.
Cameras are one of the biggest selling points smartphones, and as you might have guessed, the iPhone 15 Pro has an edge over the iPhone 15. Here's a break down of the camera specs:
Wide camera - 48MP
Ultrawide camera - 12MP
Selfie camera - 12MP
No telephoto
Wide camera - 48MP
Ultrawide camera - 12MP
Selfie camera - 12MP
Telephoto - 3X optical zoom
Unlike the iPhone 15 Pro, the iPhone 15 does not have a telephoto lens, which means that zoomed-in shots will have a dip in quality. It's also worth nothing that the iPhone 15 Pro's ultrawide lens has a slightly wider aperture, which means low-light shots in dim environments should have a better outcome.

Credit: Stan Schroeder / Mashable The iPhone 15, unlike the iPhone 15 Pro, does not support macro photography, Apple ProRAW, nor Night Mode portraits. (This isn't to be confused with Night Mode, which the iPhone 15 does have. It's just not available for portrait mode.)
The iPhone 15 Pro, without a doubt, is zippier and beastlier than the iPhone 15, thanks to its new A17 Pro Bionic chip. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 sports the chipset featured inside the iPhone 14 Pro models: the A16 Bionic.
The iPhone 15 Pro is more of a powerhouse. Credit: Stan Schroeder / Mashable Truth be told, the A16 Bionic is still a stellar, breakneck chip that is actually overpowered for what's needed for mobile tasks, so imagine the herculean power behind the A17 Pro.
Without getting into the weeds of things, just know that the A17 Pro is capable of cutting-edge AI computations and graphics. So much so that high-fidelity games like Resident Evil Villageand Death Strandingare available on the iPhone 15 Pro. Assassin's Creed Miragewill also be available on the iPhone 15 Pro, but the release is June 6.
It's also worth noting that the iPhone 15 has 6GB of RAM while the iPhone 15 Pro has 8GB of RAM. This means that latter will do a better job at juggling multiple tasks simultaneously (e.g., switching between a bunch of apps should be faster).
Apple ran a video playback test on the iPhone 15 and it lasted 20 hours on a single charge.
Compare that to the iPhone 15 Pro, which lasted 23 hourson the same test.
At WWDC 2024, Apple announced that it is jumping into AI head first with a suite of perks called "Apple Intelligence." These features will rollout alongside the launch of iOS 18, but keep in mind that not every iPhone will get Apple Intelligence.
Genmoji is a new Apple Intelligence feature that will only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro Credit: Apple The iPhone 15 will not support Apple Intelligence, but the iPhone 15 Pro models (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max) will.
Some Apple Intelligence features that iPhone 15 Pro users will enjoy include Genmoji (generate your own emoji), ChatGPT integration, a new-and-improved Siri, new AI-powered summarization features, and more.
To sum it all up, the iPhone 15 Pro has an Action Button that I believe is totally underrated — the iPhone 15 doesn't have one. Plus, the iPhone 15 Pro has a better camera system. If taking better zoomed-in shots are important to you, it'd be worth it to shell out an extra $200.
If you enjoy mobile gaming, with the iPhone 15 Pro getting a GPU boost from its A17 Pro chipset, the upper-tier model is a better choice for you.
Finally, if the aforementioned AI-powered features tickle your fancy, you'll have to get the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 15 does not support Apple Intelligence.
However, if neither of those bells and whistles tickle your fancy, you'll be fine with the entry-level iPhone 15.
