Is the iPhone 15 Still Worth It in 2026?
Is the iPhone 15 still worth buying in 2026? After using the base model blue iPhone 15 for a year as my secondary device, I'm sharing my complete, honest, long-term review.
In a tech world currently dominated by the iPhone 17 and built-in Apple Intelligence, you might be wondering if a slightly older model holds up. Whether you are holding onto an iPhone 11, 12, or 13, or you are deciding between upgrading to the 15 versus paying top dollar for the newest flagship, this video covers everything you need to know. We dive deep into the daily performance of the A16 Bionic chip, battery health after 200+ cycles, the 48MP camera, and how incredibly smooth the phone runs on the new iOS 26 "liquid glass" update.
I’ll also cover the real downsides you must consider before buying—from the 60Hz display to USB 2.0 speeds and the lack of native Apple Intelligence support.
Let me know in the comments: What iPhone are you currently using, and are you planning to upgrade this year?
