iPhone 15 vs iPhone 11 for recording gigs

[41Hz]

I’ve just upgraded from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 15. 
 

Just wondered if the sound would be better if I use it to record my gig tonight vs my old iPhone 11 which wasn’t that great.

 

I couldn’t find any specs on the iPhone 15 mic or if it is any different to the one in the iPhone 11.

 

Anyone have experience of how different iphones compare?

Why would you not at least try the new one if the old one was not good? You'll know the answer by the end of the night.

If you want to simply record gigs with as little fuss as possible, maybe try one of those portable Zoom / Tascam recorders. With the ones handling 32 bit audio, you don't even need to gainstage. Figure out the best placement, where it records all instruments in a relatively balanced manner (which is going to change with every venue anyway), and you're good to go. Don't expect wonders, but I think it should be better than an iphone. If you're satisfied with how the iphone recording sounds, then don't get anything new

 

How did it go?
