After the disappointment of the iPhone 14 Plus, Apple's careful work to improve the iPhone 15 Plus has made it a model to seriously consider this year.
A few grams here and a slight design change there, plus an internal specification boost later, and one of last year’s least interesting phones has been transformed into a serious contender for your money in 2023.
Related The iPhone 15 series couldn’t be more different. It has been very subtly redesigned, and while some people may complain that it still looks basically the same, in reality, the seemingly minuscule changes have made a massive difference. The edges have lost their sharpness, the weight has been ever-so-slightly reduced, and the overall footprint has been sized down by mere tenths of a millimeter. It really shouldn’t make any difference, but you’ll just have to trust me — it does.
I use both an Android phone and an iPhone every day, and it means if a phone is going to annoy me, I quickly realize it. The way the iPhone 14 Plus was designed made it feel chunky and awkward, but the iPhone 15 Plus never reached that stage at all. The camera is better too. When I started using the iPhone 15 Plus, I had come from the iPhone 14 Pro, which had a camera that evolved for the better over time.
