Forget IPhone 14 And IPhone 14 Pro, This Is The Smartphone To Buy

Thinking of buying an iPhone 14/14 Plus or iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max? Due to the disappointing sales of the former due to minor updates and the latter being sold out by 2023, you may want to reconsider your plans. This is the smartphone you should buy…

iPhone 15 Ultra. And there are both functional and financial reasons for this. Let's take a look at everything we know about Apple's iPhone 15 plans.

Long-term value

For many, the main argument for buying the iPhone 15 Ultra will be the price. At first glance, this is reasonable. The latest leaks claim that Apple's newly named "Pro Max" will cost $200 more than its predecessor, but there are mitigating factors.

First, storage. While the iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at 128GB, the entry-level iPhone 15 Ultra is expected to have 256GB. It's currently a $100 option for Pro Max buyers, meaning you'll get half of that price increase right away, and keep in mind that's up to another $200, so the final price could be lower.

Second, USB-C. If you primarily use MagSafe charging, you may not care about the very popular iPhone 15 Lightning to USB-C line adapter from a functional standpoint. But financially you have to worry about it. When iPhones switched from the old dock connector to Lightning, the utility cost for iPhones using the dock connector decreased. The same will likely happen again, making the iPhone 15 a better long-term investment.

New features

Every iPhone generation brings improvements, but after so many incremental releases, the iPhone 15 Ultra is shaping up to be a seismic leap.

Build Quality - Unlike all previous iPhones (and apparently not the other iPhone 15 models), the iPhone 15 Ultra will have a titanium body. Titanium is 3-4 times stronger than the stainless steel used in the iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max and provides the same strength at 40% of the weight, meaning that Apple's new flagship can be significantly lighter than its predecessors, but still strong. It is also said to be curved to provide better ergonomics.

Photography - The front of the iPhone 15 Ultra will also break new ground with its dual front camera. For photography, it will improve depth perception and offer a variety of wide angles for enhanced selfies. For security reasons, a better depth map would improve Face ID security.

Performance - The iPhone 15 Ultra will have Apple's next-generation A17 chip, unlike the standard iPhone 15 models. It will be the first chip manufactured at 3nm, after the A14, A15 and A16 used 5nm variants. This is the latest technology and makes the 3nm A17 faster and cooler with less power consumption compared to its predecessors.

This is not the only speed boost. For more than a decade, the Lightning port has limited iPhones to USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps), but the switch to USB-C will allow the iPhone 15 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro to support Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps/40,000Mbps). transfers. Close to instant backup. USB-C should also offer faster wired charging speeds.

Why is it wise to wait?

So, yes, the iPhone 15 Ultra will be expensive. However, if spread over a typical 3-year service contract, the difference in monthly payments would be minimal (which is why the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are hard to sell). Additionally, Apple seems determined to launch its all-new UItra, making it the most innovative and upgradeable iPhone in years.
