Verdict
The iPhone 15 Plus is essentially a repackaged iPhone 14 Pro, which isn`t a bad thing at all since you`re getting Pro-level upgrades at the same price point as the iPhone 14 Plus. Some standout features include a terrific battery life, an interactive Dynamic Island, and the convenience of a USB-C port, among other things. If you`ve been holding out for a new iPhone for years, the iPhone 15 Plus is the one to buy.
Pros
- Comfortable in-hand feel
- Stellar battery life
- Bright and attractive display
- Good cameras
Cons
- Lacks high refresh rate
- Slow charging
Design and display

At first glance, the iPhone 15 Plus may seem similar to its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Plus. The overall shape has remained unchanged since the iPhone 12. Nevertheless, when you hold the iPhone 15 Plus, you'll notice a significant difference. The aluminium frame, which used to be mostly flat in older models, now has a slight roundness to it, making it much more comfortable to grip. Additionally, the colour-infused back glass has a matte finish instead of a glossy one, which adds to the overall appeal of the phone. And while Apple's colour choices this year may not be the most exciting, the finish of the iPhone 15 Plus is superb.

USB-C

Let's talk about USB-C! The biggest change to the iPhone this year is the introduction of USB-C, which replaces (and pretty much kills) the Lightning port. Apple made the switch to USB-C ports on its MacBooks and iPads a few years ago but was holding on to the Lightning port for the iPhone until now. With the iPhone 15 series, you finally need only one cable to charge them all.

The iPhone 15 Plus has a 48MP primary sensor and 12MP ultra-wide lens, which is similar to what you find on the iPhone 14 Pro models. "Similar" is the keyword here as the sensors are not identical to the Pro models. Apple says the sensors are specifically made for the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. Moving on, you have the option to switch between 12MP and 24MP captures through camera settings. 24MP is set by default, allowing you to capture slightly more detailed shots that can be cropped and blown up if required. You can, of course, shoot in 48MP mode as well by simply tapping on the JPEG Max option on the camera UI.

Another Pro-level upgrade you get with the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus is the A16 Bionic chip, which is the same one that powers last year's iPhone 14 Pro models. The processor is equipped with a 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine. Again, to cut a long story short, the A16 Bionic is absolutely snappy and breezed through anything I put the iPhone 15 Plus through, including long gaming sessions, and general multi-tasking that included answering emails and switching between social media apps. Everything felt just a bit more fluid than the A15 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 14 Plus.

Battery
+
If you're looking for an iPhone with the best battery life, the iPhone 15 Plus is the one to buy. To put it simply, the iPhone 15 Plus' battery life is stellar. It's the second biggest battery in the series, just marginally smaller than the iPhone 15 Pro Max's capacity. In fact, real-world tests show that the iPhone 15 Plus has the best battery life of all iPhones yet, and I can vouch for this. During my time with the device, I managed to get 7 hours of screen-on time on a single charge with ease on most days. If you're a light to moderate user, you'll be able to go two days on a single charge. Even power users out there will be able to go through a full day and then some before needing to reach the charger.
