The technology of tinting the glass creates a uniform color, combined with the matte glass material that is easy to adhere to the color, so you will not see the tiny scratches on the back (appearing on smartphones using color spraying technology) after a period of use. In contrast, the glossy glass on the iPhone 14 Pro brings a luxurious, classy look but shows small scratches and fingerprints, especially when not using a case.

About screen and display

The difference is that the iPhone 14 Pro has ProMotion screen technology with a 120Hz refresh rate, making the iPhone 14 Pro screen experience smoother than the 60Hz screen of the iPhone 15, however, this difference is not much. If you are using other iPhone versions that also have a 60Hz screen such as the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 or iPhone 14, the iPhone 15 screen is still capable of providing an optimal experience.

In addition, the iPhone 14 Pro screen also has Always On Display mode, iPhone 15 does not have this mode. When Always On Display is turned on, notifications such as date and time, messages, battery life, etc. will always be displayed on the screen in a dim state, even when in lock mode, helping you quickly update notifications, not missing important news.

About the camera

Basically, the image quality taken by these two smartphones is not much different, the difference lies in the number of cameras . iPhone 15 has only 2 rear cameras, no telephoto camera, iPhone 14 Pro has a cluster of 3 rear cameras, including a 3x telephoto camera, so you can take photos at a distance while still maintaining good image quality, without blurring. However, you can still take 2x zoom photos with the Tele sensor integrated in the main camera of iPhone 15.

About battery life

According to Apple’s announcement, the battery life of the iPhone 14 Pro will be superior to the iPhone 15 when broadcasting videos, but worse when playing music continuously.

About color

The color palette of iPhone 15 128GB and iPhone 15 Pro 128GB has the following distinct differences:

Apple is famous for its dark and neutral tones such as Black, White or Silver Gray, which appear on most of its previous versions every time it launches. This strength of the company continues to be applied on the iPhone 15 Pro. In particular, the appearance of the Natural Titanium color makes a strong impression on users.

The iPhone 15 128GB color palette is brighter and more youthful than the iPhone 15 Pro 128GB color palette.

However, the color palette of the new iPhone 15 128GB really brings surprises with unique pastel tones that have never appeared on previous versions. Instead of placing the color plate under the glass like every year, the company mixed the color directly on the glass, creating a new, gentle and bright pastel color effect. This year, Apple also did not use a transparent glass back like every year, but instead used a frosted glass. This also helps the color to be more even, at the same time, limiting the situation of tiny scratches, especially when using the case for a long time.

About screen and display

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro screens are almost identical, the biggest difference is in the refresh rate, specifically:

This year, Apple decided to add Dynamic Island on all 4 versions of the iPhone 15 Series, including the standard iPhone 15. This is the most noticeable change in the iPhone 15 screen design. Dynamic Island brings a better interactive experience, now you can quickly access calls, play music, maps… in this area of ​​the screen. The Dynamic Island design is also more compact, does not take up as much screen space as the rabbit ears but still effectively covers the camera and Face ID sensor.

The display quality of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro is not noticeable when observed normally.

One point that makes many people hesitate between  the iPhone  15 128 GB and iPhone 15 Pro 128 GB is the screen refresh rate or refresh rate, which is 60Hz for the iPhone 15 and 120Hz for the iPhone 15 Pro. Obviously, a 120Hz screen will be smoother than a 60Hz screen. However, for users who are used to the 60Hz screen from the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14 versions and want to upgrade to the iPhone 15 or are not too concerned about the refresh rate, this difference is insignificant. For example, the browsing experience on the iPhone 15 Pro is rated at 10 points, while the iPhone 15 is rated at about 8 – 9 points.

About chipset and performance

The most obvious difference between the iPhone 15 128GB and the Pro version is the chipset and performance, specifically:

Both the iPhone 15 128GB and iPhone 15 Pro 128GB get significant performance upgrades. The iPhone 15 uses the same A16 Bionic chip as the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, with improved performance compared to the iPhone 14 chip.

The iPhone 15 Pro uses the A17 Pro chip with impressive graphics improvements thanks to the 6-core GPU. Therefore, iPhone 15 Pro users can comfortably experience big games like Call of Duty, PUBG Mobile… with high image quality and limited frame shaking. In particular, the A17 Pro chip is manufactured using the 3nm process, so it will support more efficient power saving than the A16 Bionic.
