iPhone 15 vs iPhone 15 Pro: Which Should You Buy in 2026?

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro still offer good value in 2026, especially if you want a dependable iPhone without paying for the latest models. Apple launched both in September 2023, and several newer generations have followed since.

The standard iPhone 15 still meets everyday needs. At the same time, the iPhone 15 Pro has aged well in some areas, with Apple Intelligence support, a 120Hz ProMotion display, the A17 Pro chip and a dedicated telephoto camera. Your choice depends on whether those extra features justify the higher price.

You can buy either phone at a Bajaj Finance partner store and pay through Easy EMIs. Bajaj Finance has 1.5 lakh+ partner stores across 4,000+ cities. You can finance your phone with the Bajaj Finance Easy EMI Loan, with a loan offer of up to Rs. 5 lakh, or the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card, with a loan offer of up to Rs. 3 lakh. Both offer tenures of 3–60 months. Easy EMIs start from Rs. 830, and select models come with zero down payment.

How do the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro compare on key specifications?

Both phones have a 6.1-inch OLED display, a 48MP main camera and a 12MP front camera. The iPhone 15 Pro adds 120Hz ProMotion, the A17 Pro chip, a 3x telephoto camera, Apple Intelligence support and a titanium build.

Is the iPhone 15 still worth buying in 2026?

Yes, the iPhone 15 is worth buying in 2026 if you want a lower-priced iPhone for everyday use. It covers calls, social media, streaming, photos and most games without trouble.

• A16 Bionic handles daily tasks smoothly. The chip and 6GB of RAM run messaging, video streaming, photo editing and most games well. If you are upgrading from an iPhone that is several years old, you can expect a clear speed boost.
• The 48MP camera captures useful detail. It works well for portraits, food, pets and travel photos. You also get 2x zoom from the main sensor and a 12MP ultrawide camera for group photos and landscapes.
• USB-C and Dynamic Island add everyday convenience. One USB-C charger and cable can serve your phone, earbuds and laptop. The OLED display shows rich colours for videos and reels.

The iPhone 15 has a 60Hz display and does not support Apple Intelligence. Weigh both points before you decide.

Is the iPhone 15 Pro still worth buying in 2026?

Yes, the iPhone 15 Pro is worth buying in 2026 if you want a smoother display, Apple Intelligence support and a dedicated telephoto camera. Several of its Pro features matter more now than they did at launch.

• Apple Intelligence runs on iOS 27. The iPhone 15 Pro supports Apple’s AI features. Some of the most advanced on-device features need a newer iPhone.
• 120Hz ProMotion keeps the display fluid. The refresh rate adapts up to 120Hz, so scrolling, animations and supported games look smooth.
• The A17 Pro chip and 8GB RAM suit demanding use. You get more headroom for graphics-heavy games and video editing.
• A dedicated 12MP 3x telephoto camera reaches distant subjects. It suits portraits, stage shots and faraway details. The titanium build and Action button add to the Pro feel.
