Verdict
iPhone 15 is an incremental update of the 14. While A16 Bionic (4nm) chip brings big performance improvements, screen got much brighter, USB-C Port got Video Out tech and the main camera went from 12 to 48MP, the ultrawide and selfie are the same, battery gained negligible 70mAh in capacity and worse of all: the 60Hz refresh rate remains.
PROs
compact and we'll built, Pro level performance from A16 Bionic with NVMe fast memory, >1600nits bright 460ppi OLED screen with Dolby Vision, excellent IP68 (6m water submersion) protection, very reliable 48MP 26mm dual-pixel PDAF main with OIS + less reliable 12MP 13mm ultrawide lens, excellent 12MP 23mm selfie, good video recording, very long software update policy of Apple's stable and feature rich iOS, a Video Out option
CONs
barely 24hr endurance from a 3350mAh small Lithium battery with 110min slow 20W (15W MagSafe wireless) charging, 60Hz screen refresh rate, no telephoto, no AF on ultrawide, no memory expansion of desktop replacement functionality
