Introduction to Video Content

In this video, we are going to talk about the new Apple iPhone 15 and whether it is a worthy upgrade. As someone who has never been inclined to buy Apple's latest products each year, I must say that the iPhone 15 has caught my attention. At first glance, the device looks beautiful with its sleek and smooth beveled edge, giving it a luxurious feel. The matte back, which is unique to the iPhone 15, adds to its elegance and also features a fingerprint resistant coating. Available in pink, blue, green, black, and yellow, the iPhone 15 boasts a range of pastel color options that are more subtle compared to previous years. Personally, I find this to be an advantage, especially for those who prefer not to use a case. One notable feature of the iPhone 15 is the USB-C charging cable, which is a significant improvement. This universal cable enables users to charge their gen two AirPods with the iPhone, essentially turning it into a battery bank. Additionally, the inclusion of an instructions sheet suggests that Apple may be moving towards phasing out physical SIM cards and transitioning to eSIM technology. However, this would require the cooperation of telephone providers. The design of the iPhone 15 is sleek and simple, featuring the volume buttons, a USB-C port at the bottom, and the standard on and off button. Notably, the absence of fingerprint markings indicates that the fingerprint resistant coating is doing its job. Overall, the iPhone 15 seems to offer promising upgrades and improvements that may make it a worthy buy for Apple enthusiasts and individuals seeking a premium smartphone experience.

Subtitles section

I've never really been the type of person to go out and buy Apple's new and improved products that they launch every year, but this might change my mind.

This is the iPhone 15 and she's beautiful at first glance.

They've added this very sleek and smooth beveled edge which almost creates a more luxury feel as well as the very soft matte back which is unique to the 15 as in previous years they've had more of a shiny glass and it also has a fingerprint resistant coating.

We have the pink color here but Apple also launched this with four other colorways including blue, green, black and yellow.

I've never really been one for colored iPhones but I really like the pastel colorings that they have this year.

It's a lot more subtle than previous years but I kind of find that to be an advantage.

I mean, that is for people who don't put their iPhones in a case right away.

The USB-C charging cable.

This I feel is probably the most important part of this new iPhone because it's universal and you can charge your gen two AirPods with your iPhone.

So it essentially kind of becomes a battery bank and what is this instructions?

Oh no, this is the SIM popper which I feel like they're gonna kind of start phasing that out like the physical SIM cards and start integrating more eSIM.

I guess as long as telephone providers are comfortable with that.

Do you think I could get it in the room behind?

Yeah.

On the 15 Pro and Pro Max, I know they have like a button here but for the standard 15, they've kept the little switch.

We've got our volume buttons, of course the beautiful USB-C port on the bottom and then your standard on and off button.

And I am noticing actually there isn't a lot of fingerprint markings showing which means that the coding is working.

While the phone itself feels really nice, I always get self-conscious about potentially dropping it which is why I have a dbrand grip case on my phone.

And guess what?

Dbrand is also the sponsor of this video.

They're chaotic but make good stuff.

Like their grip case.

It has a super grippy texture and is impact resistant.

They also just launched their new ghost cases.

According to dbrand, you'll die before the ghost case turns yellow.

Only 1.2 millimeters thin with 10 feet of impact resistant protection.

Available for Pro iPhone models, Ultra Samsung models and Pro Pixel models.

Check out both today at shortlinus.com.

First things first, let's talk about the screen.

While in previous models, they have also had the Super Retina XDR screens, this time around they've also improved the screen brightness which is supposedly two times brighter than its predecessor, the iPhone 14. I'd love to try it out but unfortunately it's raining outside.

So Labs has done some testing for us.

Let's take a look.

I specifically wanna point out the HDR brightness which in a dark room is about 850 nits.

Brandon, one of our lab team's members pointed out that 850 nits is actually pretty crazy for screen brightness and is much higher than the average 500 nits that you'd see in a regular phone or a standard phone.

Another thing to mention is Labs pointed out that in the SDR outdoor test, they were able to measure 2200 nits versus the 2000 nits that Apple claims.

Quite impressive seeing that it's higher.

In contrast to my own iPhone 12, I've also noticed that on the 15, we have the dynamic island.

So no more notches.

And I've actually never utilized the dynamic island or I guess I've never tried the dynamic island.

So I'm interested to kind of look into that.

Now I've never really been impressed by iPhone cameras.

I tend to frequent concerts and that's where I get the best test out of my iPhone cameras as I find a lot of the artifacting doesn't really make the pictures turn out as great as they could.

There's also oftentimes in dark lighting, a bit more of a lens flare which sometimes you don't want that.

But with this phone, the camera has been one of the biggest features that has been advertised and talked about.

And so I think this might change my mind.

It's got fingerprints on it.

If only they could add a fingerprint resistant finish to the camera lenses.

Now that would be a good feature.

So the new iPhone 15 has a dual lens system.

So we've got the standard camera, which is a 48 megapixels and then our ultra wide, which is 12 megapixels.

One feature I'm really excited about is Apple has added essentially controls for the user so that they can control the depth and the focus on photos after they're taken.

I love Apple's like portrait mode but I find sometimes when I'm taking pictures of my dog, it kind of blurs the wrong areas.

This kind of allows you to control where the blur is and where it isn't.

Let's try it out.

Do you wanna come take a selfie with me?

Yeah.

Beautiful.

All right, let's try it.

Edit.

Portrait.

Oh, whoa.

It can get really blurry.

I don't know if you can see that very well, but.

Belle, you don't even exist in this photo.

You're just a...

Yes, true.

Wow, that actually works quite well.

So initial, I guess, impressions is that feature is awesome.

So we'll do a bit of a blur and then, wow.

That's great.

Who needs Photoshop anymore?

Just kidding.

We've got 0.5 zoom out for ultra wide shots.

And now I'm gonna take a picture of me at that.

I'm sorry.

Oh, it's starting.

How many people have done that on short circuit?

It doesn't look very good, I'll be honest.

But like Andrew said, it's kind of a tricky shot with the light being directly facing the camera.

Then we have the 1X zoom option, which is for like mid distance shots.

I'll just take a picture of Belle this time.

Oh no, it's on timer still.

Three, two, one.

Yay.

That looks pretty good.

I'm so torn.

I'm like not a photographer either by any means.

So me judging the photos may not necessarily be like the best.

Point of view.

But you know, it's all right.

And then we have the 2X zoom distance for closeup shots.

One thing to mention is the 2X zoom is only 12 megapixels.

Let's take a selfie.

Selfie cam seems all right.

As soon as I zoom in on the photo, I'm like maybe it's not as good.

Cause like when I'm looking at it on the screen, it looks fine.

It looks great.

It looks super clear.

But as soon as I take the photo, maybe that has like, maybe I just need to fondle with the settings a bit more, but I kind of expected more to be honest.

Here are a few other photos for you to take a look at.

I guess you get to make that decision.

Now that we've tested the camera, let's test the audio.

And what better way to do that than with our absolute favorite banger.

Let's put some crab rave on.

It sounds like I'm on like a tropical island.

There is a very good range to this speaker.

Sounds really good.

I've never really compared phone speakers per se, but in comparison to my iPhone 12, this sounds fantastic.

I could listen to that all day.

The standard iPhone 15 has an A16 bionic chip, which is the same as in the iPhone 14 Pro.

We got labs to check out the performance.

Here is data to look at.

Wow, data.

Yeah.

I'm not much of a mobile gamer, but I mean, hey, if you can get a better phone for playing mobile games, then maybe it's worth it.

I don't, like what kind of mobile games do you play?

Oh, I guess labs has done the testing for us.

I kind of noticed in their marketing a little bit, it was kind of weird because they said like the iPhone 15 can go up to 26 hours of battery life with whatever video, but they don't like specifically say the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus.

So you're like kind of led to believe that it's the regular standard iPhone 15 that's 26 until you actually look at like the side-by-sides of the regular and the Plus, then it says up to 20 hours, which is six hours less,

Which isn't an insignificant amount.

In our endurance YouTube playback test, we were able to get 18 hours and in the stress test, we got 3.3 hours.

We also did a charging test and we were able to get it from zero to 85% in an hour.

Here's the data for how long it took to get it to full.

I feel like the battery is always something that Apple should continue to improve.

And this is something that I felt a lot towards like the iPads and also AirPods and Apple watches.

Honestly, please just improve battery life for everything because I don't wanna have to charge my phone every single night.

Okay.

And I feel like that's a universal experience.

However, I know it's not as easy as I'm making it sound.

What if we could just throw a car battery in a phone?

We haven't really talked much about iOS 17. One feature I find incredibly helpful is that along with their emergency SOS, they have also included a roadside assistant similar to AAA.

Another feature that I find super awesome is with me and my partner is we have an air tag on our dog and with only one person being able to see where the dog is at a time, if we were both having to like go out and search for her if she ran away,

I feel like that would be a lot less convenient.

So like the fact that you can add two people to an air tag is, I mean, it should have been something that they had from the beginning, but it's nice that they're adding it now.

I don't know about you, but I've definitely woken up in the middle of the night and checked to see what time it is on my phone and absolutely blinded myself.

Apple has since implemented a standby mode, which we're gonna try now, but...

Oh, there.

No,

I did it.

I just shifted it a little bit.

Oh, there.

Okay, welcome to standby.

I love this feature so much.

You can showcase some of the widgets that are more important.

So when you are sleeping in the middle of the night and you wanna check on what time it is and you don't have a digital clock or anything else, you can just glance at your phone.

In comparison to the iPhone 15 Pro, which has an always on screen, the standard 15 doesn't have that feature.

However, with a simple tap, you should be able to bring up the standby mode.

It's so weird how simple a feature can be, but also so helpful.

Every morning I ask Alexa what the weather is gonna be like, but if I could have my time and my weather right beside me when I wake up, I wouldn't have to do that.

It's just one simple step that I can skip using this feature, which is super cool.

Is there anything else?

Oh, they've got like a wide.

Wide.

Very wide.

Apple has also added this thing called NameDrop, where you can easily share contacts by simply putting the phone tips together.

Shall we try it?

All right.

Wow.

That was wonderful.

Oh, I need to set up my card and my contacts.

Oh, there we are.

Wow, so fancy.

That was fantastic.

Don't talk to me.

So I think if I go back to my initial question, where I ask, does the iPhone 15 make me wanna go to an Apple store, wait in a line, or make an appointment?

Probably not.

I think between my iPhone 12 and the iPhone 15, the features haven't changed too much.

I mean, the dynamic island is cool and is a very aesthetic feature.

And sharing contacts by simply touching tips, I think the camera is the part that always gets to me because it's not really a feature that I am generally super stoked about.

But when you hear all of these positive things about it, try it out for yourself and then aren't as impressed as everybody's telling you you're going to be.

I don't know, maybe that's just me.

Everybody can make their own decisions.

And if you're the type of person that wants to go and buy every single new version of iPhone and try it out to its fullest and really get to pick at the positives and the negatives as you go through kind of the cycle,

That's not me.

The iPhone 15 starts at 799 USD.

I guess, depending on the storage that you go with, they go all the way up to 1099.

And that's just the standard.

Then you have the choice between the iPhone 15 Plus, which is 6.7 inches, and it's $100 more for each.

Or you can choose the Pro or the Pro Max, which again, ends up being a bit pricier.

I haven't checked out the features of the Pro, but based on the iPhone 15 that I looked at today, I'm not convinced that I need to upgrade.

I do find that adding USB-C is a convincing addition.

However, I don't know if it really would make that big of a difference to my personal workflow, but maybe it will to yours.

So at the end of the day, it's a cool phone.

I hope you enjoyed this short circuit.
