Apple iPhone 15 vs Motorola Edge 70 Fusion
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Apple iPhone 15's 2023. The Edge 5G 70 Fusion leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the iPhone 15 5G's 48MP, plus a 32MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Edge 5G 70 Fusion packs the bigger battery, 5200mAh against 3349mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. Storage goes higher on the iPhone 15 5G, up to 512GB against 256GB, and the Edge 5G 70 Fusion has the bigger screen, 6.8" against 6.1". Only pay up for the Edge 5G 70 Fusion if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 15 5G makes more sense.
On price there's almost nothing between them: both work out around £528 over a full contract.
