iPhone 15 vs iPhone X: A Leap Forward and the Value of Certified Pre-Owned Devices from Plug

Introduction

With the launch of the iPhone 15, it's clear that Apple has made some tremendous strides in smartphone technology. But where does that leave older models, like the iPhone X, which was once a flagship product of its own? In this blog post, we will compare the iPhone 15 and the iPhone X to explore the key differences between the two, and also discuss why opting for a certified pre-owned device from Plug is an excellent decision.

iPhone 15

  • Aluminum and glass design
  • Ceramic Shield front cover
  • IP68 water and dust resistance

iPhone X

  • Stainless steel and glass design
  • Glass front and back
