iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus - Technical Specifications (2024)

FAQs

What is the difference between the iPhone 15 and the 15 plus? ›

The iPhone 15 Plus is basically just a bigger version of the iPhone 15. That means a bigger screen and better battery life, along with all the other good and bad bits of its smaller sibling. This does however cost more.

What is special about the iPhone 15 Plus? ›

Generally speaking, the iPhone 15 Plus is just a larger iPhone 15. It's the same feature-for-feature and spec-for-spec other than the battery, screen, and size. Much more separates the regular iPhones from the Pro models, such as a more powerful new processor and the addition of a telephoto camera in the Pro.

What is the difference between the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro? ›

The big difference is that the 15 is stuck on a fixed 60Hz refresh rate while the 15 Pro has a variable 120Hz plus an always-on display. It's not the end of the world and you may turn off these battery-hungry features, but it does mean scrolling is a lot smoother on the Pro.

How many SIM slots are in the iPhone 15 Plus? ›

The Apple iPhone 15 Plus is a dual-SIM (GSM and GSM) mobile that accepts Nano-SIM and Nano-SIM cards. The Apple iPhone 15 Plus measures 160.90 x 77.80 x 7.80mm (height x width x thickness) and weighs 201.00 grams.

Will iPhone 15 have big changes? ›

The Dynamic Island, USB-C and the upgraded camera are the iPhone 15's biggest changes. But for most people, these features likely aren't enough to justify shelling out $799.

Is the iPhone 15 worth buying? ›

Exceptional battery life

Even if the camera doesn't matter to you much or you don't play a lot of games on your phone, I will say buy the iPhone 15 Plus for its excellent battery backup. It offers the best battery life on an iPhone - EVER. The phone easily lasts around day and a half on moderate use.

Does the iPhone 15 Plus overheat? ›

According to Notebookcheck, Apple considers iPhone 15 Pro models running warmer than previous iPhones to be “expected behavior.” A major design change is coming to the iPhone 16 series to (finally) address this issue. Apple is rumored to be exploring the “use of graphene to mitigate lingering thermal issues.”

What cool things can the iPhone 15 do? ›

Six hidden iPhone 15 features you need to discover right now
  • Set an 80% charge limit.
  • Explore new battery stats.
  • Take automatic portraits and quick object portraits.
  • Unlock additional lenses in your main camera (Pro only)
  • Shoot 48MP in ProRAW or HEIF (Pro only)
  • Hide the Silent Mode bell (Pro only)
  • ...
Nov 2, 2023

What are the pros and cons of the iPhone 15? ›

Pros: fast, good camera, good screen now with dynamic island, great size, USB-C, great battery life, long software support, Face ID. Cons: no telephoto camera, screen slower than competition and 15 Pro, no always-on display mode, dull colour choice, more repairable design restricted by software locks.

Is iPhone 15 Pro coming out? ›

Pre-orders began on September 15, 2023, and the devices were made available to the general public on September 22, 2023. Like the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, the 15 Pro and Pro Max replaced the proprietary Lightning connector with USB-C to comply with European Union mandates.

Which is better, iPhone 14 or 15? ›

While both models are designed to handle demanding applications, the iPhone 15 stands out for its superior performance and energy efficiency. iPhone 15's A16 chip offers superior performance, making it more future-proof. Slightly longer battery life in iPhone 15.

Which is better, the iPhone 15 or the 15 Plus? ›

The bigger body of the Plus model allows for a larger battery. The Plus sports a slightly larger 4,383mAh battery than its predecessor, while the vanilla iPhone 15 also bumps up the capacity to 3,349mAh. The iPhone 15 Plus beats the iPhone 15 in our battery benchmarks, which is expected, numbers don't lie.

Is 128 GB of an iPhone 15 enough? ›

128GB should be enough if you only occasionally take photos. For videos, most people take in 1080p, so that should save some storage compared to if you keep taking 4k videos. For apps, “regular people” only have a few apps on their iPhone so it won't be an issue.

What is the price of iPhone 15 Plus in 2024? ›
