Should you buy the Apple iPhone 15?

If Apple makes a phone meant for everyone, it’s the iPhone 15. There are flashier models in the lineup such as the Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, and with the Apple iPhone 15 Plus Apple manages to get a little more screen real estate out of the design. But the iPhone 15 is the most affordable in the lineup, and it has a lot of great features that can be put to good use by anyone.

One of the top features of the Apple iPhone 15 is the 48-megapixel main camera, which was previously found only in iPhone 15 Pro models. New to the entire lineup is USB-C connectivity, which allows for fast charging, but also allows you to connect external drives and SD cards, which can come in handy if photography is a part of your daily iPhone usage.

The A16 Bionic processor tops off the feature set of the iPhone 15. It provides ample power for multitasking across apps and for keeping things up to date across your Apple software ecosystem. Apple software is is something that makes the iPhone one of the most popular smartphones in general, as it includes things like Apple Music, iCloud, Pages, and Photos, and everything syncs easily across all of your Apple devices.

One of the main draws of the Apple iPhone 15 right now is that it’s still Apple’s newest iPhone on the market and we aren’t that far into the product cycle. iPhones are typically end-of-the-year releases, so you’ve got some time before the next wave of iPhones come out. The internal hardware of the iPhone 15 is something to consider here as well. As evidenced by the continued success of the Apple iPhone 14, iPhones tend to be future-proof longer than many other smartphones, as Apple provides iPhones with plenty of power and software access to remain new in spirit for a few more generations of iPhones.

WhatsApp Plus is here, and you can safely ignore this subscription
WhatsApp wants a monthly fee for what other apps include by default, and that's a problem Meta can't dress up with custom icons.

WhatsApp has fiercely defended its status as a free, no-nonsense online messaging app for over a decade, but a new subscription tier is muddying the waters. 

Meta is rolling out WhatsApp Plus, a paid subscription model, to a limited number of iPhone users using the latest version of the App Store.

Apple and Google just put a lock on your green-bubble texts, and it’s about time
The green bubble finally has something to brag about. Apple and Google's unlikely alliance brings real encryption to everyday cross-platform texting.
E2EE arrives on RCS for iPhone and Android phones.

For years, texting between an iPhone and an Android device felt less like a private conversation and more like shouting across a crowded street. Well, that changes on May 11, 2026, as Apple and Google jointly launched end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messaging. 

The long-awaited feature is rolling out first in beta with iOS 26.5 (also announced today) and the latest version of Google Messages.

The Razr Ultra 2026 is everything a flip phone should be, but I’m not paying $1,500 for it
A flip phone was never supposed to cost this much. At $1,500, the Razr Ultra finds itself in an uncomfortable fight against everything else your money can buy.
Motorola Razr Ultra

I'll be blunt: $1,500 is a lot of money to spend on the Razr Ultra, a clamshell phone that folds in half. In fact, it's a lot of money to spend on any smartphone, especially when a Galaxy S26 Ultra or iPhone 17 Pro Max costs less and still leaves a few hundred dollars in your pocket, or throwing in a couple of hundred bucks can get you a full-fledged book-style foldable. 

For me, the Razr Ultra doesn't quite make a strong case at $1,500. In isolation, it's a genuinely impressive flip phone that gets all the basics right and delivers the premium experience you'd expect at this price. The Alcantara back, the 5,000-nit display, the silicon-carbon battery, and the dual cameras on the back make it sound like a complete package.
