Listen to the story
iPhone 16 will soon go on pre-order and the sale is also close. With this process underway, many people might be confused about which iPhone would be the better choice – iPhone 16 or iPhone 15. There is a huge difference in the price of both the iPhones. Here is a quick comparison of both the phones to give you a better idea about them.
iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15: Prices in India
In India, the iPhone 16 is priced at Rs 79,900 for the 128GB model, Rs 89,900 for the 256GB model, and Rs 1,09,900 for the 512GB model. Pre-orders will start on September 13 at 5:30 PM and sales will start from September 20.
The iPhone 15, on the other hand, has witnessed a price cut and is now available via Flipkart, Amazon, and other platforms starting at Rs 69,900.
iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15: Display
Both have the same display. You get a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR screen on both iPhones. The panels support 2000nits of peak brightness and Full HD+ resolution. The minimum brightness can be lowered to 1nit compared to 2nit on the previous model. The refresh rate of the display is set to the standard 60Hz and there is no support for 120Hz as it is reserved only for the Pro model. Both devices come with an IP68 rating and a USB Type-C port.
iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15: Chipset
The iPhone 16 has the latest A18 chipset, which Apple says is slightly faster than the A17 chip in the iPhone 15. I would say, you will get more or less the same performance and the only major difference is in access to AI features. Apple is offering Apple Intelligence with all iPhone 16 models and only the iPhone 15 Pro versions. Although Apple Intelligence will not be available in India anytime soon as it will first come to markets like the US, people will be able to enjoy the AI benefits in the near future. The features will be released first through the iOS 18 beta version.
Apple has also increased the RAM from 6GB to 8GB, which means the multi-tasking experience on the iPhone 16 will be slightly better.
iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15: Battery, fast charging
Apple has not revealed any details about the battery size of its iPhones. However, the company has claimed on its official site that the iPhone 16 can deliver up to 22 hours of battery, which is more than the 20 hours claimed on the iPhone 15.
Apple’s official website says that the device supports 20W charging and people can also use the 30W MacBook charger for faster charging. Both phones also have wireless charging support.
iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15: Camera
There are very minor changes in the camera department. The iPhone 16 has the same 48-megapixel main camera with an f/1.6 aperture and 2x zoom via sensor crop. There is also a 12-megapixel camera, but with a better f/2.2 aperture compared to the f/2.4 seen in the iPhone 15. You also get a new camera control button on the iPhone 16, which helps capture photos quickly and also makes the zooming in or out process easier.
