With Amazon and Flipkart’s summer sales going live on May 1buyers are eyeing some tempting smartphone deals—none more so than the iPhone 15now available for just ₹56,749 on Amazon India (for Prime members from midnight, others from noon).

But with the new iPhone 16e also in the mix, the question arises: Should you still buy the iPhone 15 in 2025?

Why iPhone 15 Still Makes Sense

Despite being a 2023 model, the iPhone 15 remains a flagship-level phone. Here’s what you get:

• Bright OLED Display: A 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen with Dynamic Island—not available on the 16e.
• Proven A16 Bionic Chip: Still faster than most Android rivals and perfect for gaming, content, and multitasking.
• Superior Cameras: A dual-camera setup with a 48MP primary + 12MP ultra-wide lens—offering better versatility than the single rear camera on the 16e.
• Premium Features: MagSafe charging, IP68 water resistance, and at least 5 years of iOS updates.

What About the iPhone 16e?

Launched at ₹59,999, the iPhone 16e brings Apple’s A18 chip8GB RAM, and support for Apple Intelligence—a big plus for AI-powered features. It also has better battery life and a customizable Action Button.

However, it lacks:

• Ultra-wide camera
• MagSafe support
• Dynamic Island (uses older notch design)

So, while the 16e is newer, it feels like a mid-range device with AI tricksnot a full-on flagship.

Verdict: iPhone 15 Is Still a Solid Buy

For ₹56,749, the iPhone 15 offers a better camera setup, a more premium feel, and practical features many users value more than AI. Unless you specifically need Apple Intelligence today, the iPhone 15 wins on overall value and balance.
