It seems like just about everyone is a smartphone photography hobbyist these days.

 

If you like taking photos with your smartphone camera, you'll be happy to hear that both the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus feature exceptional cameras and photography capabilities:

 

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus come with a 48MP main camera, a 12 MP Ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP 2x Telephoto lens (enabled by quad-pixel sensor).
You get 0.5x, 1x and 2x optical zoom options.
According to tech site reviews, the optical zoom works very well – you can zoom into objects without any noticeable loss in quality. 
You also get a 'Next-generation portraits' feature, which detects subjects and records depth information on their photos. This lets you retroactively turn whatever picture you've taken into a portrait shot with a bokeh (blurred) background.

For many folks, battery life can be a make-or-break feature. 

 

Here's how the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus fare in this department:

 

Both phones give you an impressive amount of video + audio playback.
For the iPhone 15, you're looking at up to 20h of video playback + up to 80h of audio playback.
For the iPhone 15 Plus, it's up to 26h of video playback + up to 100h of audio playback.

The iPhone 14 comes with a A15 Bionic chip, and the iPhone 15 comes with an A16 Bionic chip.

Most noticeably, you get a 48MP main camera with the iPhone 15 (compared to the iPhone 14's 12MP camera).

 

This means that the iPhone 15 can capture more detail in images, and produce sharper images.
