iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 15: what are you actually paying for?
The iPhone 15 and 15 Pro share the same modern foundation — USB-C, Dynamic Island, 48MP main camera — but the Pro adds a range of premium extras. The question is whether you actually need them.
Display: 120Hz ProMotion
The biggest difference in day-to-day use: the iPhone 15 Pro has a 120Hz ProMotion display that scrolls noticeably more smoothly. The regular iPhone 15 runs at 60Hz. Once you've got used to 120Hz, it's hard to go back.
Material and weight
The Pro is built from titanium (lighter and more durable), while the iPhone 15 uses aluminium. The Pro also features the customisable Action Button.
Camera
The Pro adds an extra 3x telephoto lens and improved low-light performance, along with ProRAW and ProRes support for advanced photography and video. The regular 15 has a strong dual-camera setup that's more than enough for most people.
Chip
The 15 Pro runs on the powerful A17 Pro — great for demanding games and video editing — while the iPhone 15 uses the A16 Bionic. For everyday use, both are more than fast enough.
Our advice
Are you a photography enthusiast, a gamer, or do you want the smoothest display possible? Then the refurbished iPhone 15 Pro is worth it. If you mainly use your phone for messaging, social media and everyday photos, the regular iPhone 15 gives you almost everything at a significantly lower price.
