- Hey, it's Justine and today we are checking out
the brand new iPhone 15.
We've got the Plus in green
and the regular iPhone 15 in pink,
which obviously we know that I'm excited about.
Now, a lot of people are saying
that this year's release was a little bit underwhelming
and I actually think that this is probably
Apple's most impressive base model release
that they've had in a really long time.
And here's why.
(upbeat music)
First of all, I think the actual physical design
of this new iPhone is really under hyped.
This new design with the rounded edges
and the matte glass back completely changes
the feel of the phone in your hand.
It's a big departure from the sharp edges
and glossy finish of the previous models
which has a huge impact overall
on the feel of this device.
It feels super premium
and with the new color infused glass
it looks really amazing too.
I can't remember the last time that a base model iPhone
felt and looked this good.
And of course, one of the biggest
and most anticipated changes
to the iPhone's design is the move to USBC.
This has been such a long time coming
and to finally have this connectivity is really awesome.
Being able to charge multiple Apple devices
with a single cable is gonna make the whole experience
so much more streamlined.
Now there is a difference
between the regular iPhones and iPhone 15 Pros.
The iPhone 15 just has USB 2.0 speeds
and the Pros have USBC 3.0 speeds
which is much faster for data transfer,
which is something that we'll definitely be using
in those pro phones because we can now shoot in ProRes log
and some of those files can tend to be on the larger side
so we'll be able to transfer them much quicker.
The iPhone 15 comes in two sizes
with a 6.1 inch and 6.7 inch super retina XDR display
with super durable ceramic shield glass.
It comes in five colors, pink, yellow, green,
blue and black, and they all look so nice.
The colors are really subtle,
but also vibrant at the same time,
if that makes any sense.
It's a little tough to describe,
but I'm such a big fan.
And obviously the pink finish is my favorite.
(upbeat music) (plane buzzing)
Now, along with the changes to the hardware design
the I iPhone 15 has been upgraded
with many Pro features of last year's Pro models.
It now has the 48 megapixel main camera
that we got with the iPhone 14 Pro.
It shoots super high resolution photos
and with that resolution
you get three different optical quality zoom levels,
an ultra wide lens, regular lens,
and a 2x lens that all produce photos
with incredible detail.
And all of these cameras are made better
by sensor shift optical image stabilization.
(upbeat music)
The smooth zoom is also really nice.
This allows you to get some super detailed zoom shots
and you can zoom in very smoothly optically and digitally
switching between the lenses.
Something else that is a really cool option
is they now have a HEIF Max photo option.
So when you have this turned on,
you have the ability to take the full 48 megapixel images,
but it's not in that huge raw file size
that you'll see on the pros.
With this, for most people,
they're gonna be super happy with the output.
(upbeat music)
Night mode, and portraits have new upgrades as well.
So night mode will activate automatically
in dark scenes and with a new high res camera,
colors and detail come through so much better.
Now this is true for portrait mode as well,
and now after you've taken a portrait,
you can tap into the image to change the focus
from one subject to another.
This is pretty awesome.
It's ice cream time.
This is the first video
that I'm filming on the new iPhone 15.
And of course we have to get a little mint chocolate chip
to match the new, well I'm gonna call it mint green foam.
If they don't have mitt chip, I'm gonna be so upset.
(beeping)
We interrupt this iPhone 15 review to bring you
a word from our sponsor, Rhino Shield.
They sent me so many cases to check out
for my new iPhone 15
and a discount code for all of you guys
if you want to check out some of their new cases
and some of their older cases for previous gens
you can use ijustine for 10% off at checkouts.
They also have cases for Apple watches, AirPods,
and again if you aren't upgrading
and getting a new phone this year,
you can upgrade with cases from some previous generations.
I mean, there are so many to choose from.
They're MagSafe compatible have an 11 foot drop protection
with their shock spread technology
and 360 degrees of protection.
It's also cool that their clear cases
come with a five year warranty
against yellowing or discoloration.
They have a lot of new colors for the iPhone 15
and even an improved grip on solid suitcases.
I also love these three D impact screens.
They have a transparency one
and a privacy shield to protect your screen
from sneaky eyes trying to see what's on your screen.
The Mod NX are really fun,
because they allow you to accessorize your clear cases
with different bumpers.
They also sent this aqua stand
that I'm so excited to test out.
It's a water bottle,
but it also has a Magsafe flip on the top.
So if you're somebody who likes
to film your workouts in the gym,
this is definitely the water bottle for you.
Flip it up, put the phone on it, and that's it.
Again, for 10% off, you can use ijustine at checkout.
I'll put a link in the description.
Thank you again to Rhino Shield
for sponsoring a portion of this video.
(beeping) (upbeat music)
- Can I get a mint chip in waffle cone?
- Mint chip waffle cone? - Yes, thank you.
Look at this.
Oh my goodness, my mint phone
and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
I'm so excited.
The cone was basically staged for the the shot.
I gotta eat it like this.
It's still good.
I'm so happy.
The iPhone 15 also now has Dynamic Island.
Last year's base models
were still rocking the old school notch
at the top of the screen,
but now all of the models
get to enjoy this added functionality.
Now if you're not already familiar with it,
Dynamic Island takes what used to be
just black cutout for the front camera and sensors
and it uses that space to display alerts
and live activities.
So when you get a call or you order food,
or things like that,
you'll get these cool dynamic animations.
Something else I'm excited about
is this new integration with iOS 17 called name drop.
So you can bring your phones close together, just like this,
and you can instantly share your contact information.
Now I use Airdrop all the time,
so I love that in iOS 17
Airdrop is now taking advantage of wifi and cellular.
So if I'm airdropping a file
and I happen to not be close to that phone anymore,
as I venture off into the world,
I can continue sending this through cellular
or sending it through the internet
when I get home to wifi.
Something else that's really fun is FaceTime voicemail.
So if I don't answer a call,
like this call from Tyler that's coming in
and I decide to ignore it,
you can actually leave me a voicemail video.
- Hey Justine, I'm in your studio right now.
I'm just wondering why you're not here.
'cause we have to shoot.
So just let me know.
Call me back, thanks, bye.
- I also really like the live voicemail transcription.
I don't like talking on the phone really
so I get a lot of voicemails,
because everyone knows that I don't answer my phone.
So this is cool because I can watch the voicemail text
transcribe itself live and decide
if it's actually important and I have to answer.
Hello, are you okay?
- [Tyler] Oh yeah, I'm good.
I'm just recording this fake voicemail for the video.
- Okay, bye.
Now, powering all of this is of course
Apple's A16 bionic chip
and this is the same chip that we had
in last year's pro models.
So the iPhone 15 is getting a big performance upgrade.
This is a six core CPU
with two performance cores and four efficiency cores
which is what creates all that power
and performance while keeping great battery life.
It also has a five core GPU
and 16 core neural engine power
and computational photography
and graphics intensive activities like gaming.
So that's it for the iPhone 15s.
This is a really fun review to do,
because I'm really impressed
with how incredible these phones are this year.
And like I said, the design change
and everything about them is pretty exciting.
So if you're looking to upgrade
from an older phone and you don't think
that the Pro is for you,
I'm confident that the base model iPhone 15s
are something that you're gonna be super hyped about.
