Verdict
The iPhone 15 represents a significant upgrade in Apple’s lineup with its Dynamic Island, improved camera system, and USB-C port. While the NPR 135,200 starting price might seem steep, it’s actually more competitive than previous iPhone launches in Nepal. The device offers good value for those upgrading from older iPhones, especially considering the improved camera system and addition of Dynamic Island.
