How to choose the iPhone 15 series? To put it simply, buying the standard version is the most cost-effective, Smart Island, 48 million pixels, USB-C interface, everything you need, and the price is expected to be consistent with the previous generation.
This year, the iPhone 15 series will popularize the "Smart Island", which means that there will not be much difference in appearance between the standard version and the Pro version . In addition, the two standard models of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will be upgraded for the first time to a 48-megapixel rear main camera with a new stacked sensor design that can capture more light in dark environments.
And if you want the A17 chip, narrower bezels, better camera, and titanium body, you need to pay more for the Pro version.
If you want to have "the best camera in your pocket", then the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best choice. It is reported that this year Apple will introduce a periscope lens on the Max version, and the optical zoom performance will be qualitatively improved.
So, how would you choose?
