The MacRumors Show: iPhone 15 Features We’re Excited About and Should You Upgrade?

On this week’s episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple’s new FineWoven accessories, some of our favorite iPhone 15 features, and who should consider upgrading.

Apple’s FineWoven material replaces leather across iPhone cases, AirTag accessories, and Apple Watch bands. Many early reviews of the FineWoven items have been negative, criticizing the material’s feel, quality, and durability, so we talk over our early thoughts on the new accessories. The ‌iPhone 15‌ and iPhone 15 Pro introduce over 30 new capabilities and improvements, including USB-C and Dynamic Island across the lineup, as well as a new titanium design and Action button on the high-end models. We dive into some of our favorite standout features and weigh up who should consider upgrading to the latest devices.
