When you are not using the iPhone and all of a sudden you see the two pictures of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15, you will feel like oh it’s the same but there might be some slight changes to fetch more money.
On the technology side, there are some extensive upgrades made in iPhone 15 over iPhone 14 starting from design, introduction of Dynamic Island in all models, processors, USB ports, and many more.
Design Changes:
- Rear glass is a single piece for a cleaner look
- Edges are a little contoured making it more handy
- Bezels (borders between a screen and a phone’s frame) are a little thinner for a better ultra-modern look.
Colour differences:

The Dynamic Island versus the notch:
Dynamic Island a distinctive pill-shaped cutout that accommodates the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors. It’s an interactive interface that can adapt its shape and size to present various alerts, notifications, and other information.
For example, when you receive a notification, Dynamic Island expands to reveal the notification’s details. You get an option to either tap the notification to open it or swipe it away to dismiss it. Additionally, Dynamic Island offers controls for managing music playback, displaying battery status, and more.
