  • iPhone 15 Plus Review - Underrate Compromise - iPhone 15 Plus has been out a few weeks and I used it as my main phone for an entire week. After using the iPhone 15 Plus in Blue I talk about the display, battery life, USB-C, camera, lack of Pro Res and other limitations Apple should include on all iPhone models such as Pro Res and more. iPhone 15 Plus Battery Life seems to be the best for me so far out of all iPhone 15 models too. #iPhone15Plus #Apple #iOS17

    I switched my 14 Pro Max over to 60 hz just for giggles. I noticed right away. Apps opened, for lack of a better term, jiggly. They weren't smooth, even a bit laggy. Switched it back to 120hz. I'll be keeping it for several years. I'm getting old and am losing interest in yearly upgrades. I still love seeing the new tech as it comes out but find I don't need/want it anymore.

      That's true, lol.

    Went from 12 Pro to 15 Plus yesterday. Loving it so far. Battery life on my 12 pro was really lacking so that was the most important thing for me when upgrading. I'm used to 60 hz so obviously it doesn't bother me to have another 60 hz phone. I had the triple cameras on my 12 pro and rarely used them. Never shot in ProRaw either. I typically used the main camera and since the 15 plus has a much better main camera, this is a great upgrade for me. I just couldn't see another $300 for the Pro Max for only a handful of differences compared to the plus model and usually I would go for the best model.

    I wanted a pink plus from the moment I saw it announced. Went to an Apple Store the day after launch but they didn’t have any and shipping times were mid November, but they did have pro max’s in stock so I grabbed one. After two weeks of normal use I noticed some screen burn in and took it to an Apple Store. They wanted to replace the unit but did not have the same color/capacity in stock. But they did have a plus in pink, so I grabbed that. Honestly I couldn’t be happier. The cameras are great, battery is great, it’s the size and color I wanted, and I’m one of those weird people (I guess?) who doesn’t notice promotion. It’s also lighter. I’m definitely not a pro user when it comes to cameras, and these seem just fine to me (I think any iPhone from the last five years or so takes great photos) so in the end it all worked out and I’m very happy with the plus. 💞

    I think people keep forgetting that the higher speed USB-C controller is built into the 17 pro chip… So there’s no way for the regular 15 model to get the higher speeds because they are using last years chip. That’s the reason. It’s a nice to have, not a must. If you want it, that’s why it’s in the Pro models…

    I would really like to upgrade from my 12 to an 15 or 15 Plus. But my 12 is still very strong and I have no problems with it. So I am going to wait at least another year and see what the 16 are going to bring up. The only problem on the regular 15 is the 60hz display. Before I saw them in person for the first time I thought that it was no big difference. But when I looked at the Pro for a bit and then looked back at the regular, I saw how bad it really is. It is not a big problem but it would be nice with that promotion even on the regular models. But even with the lack of 120hz the base 15 models are the best base iPhone models ever.

    Had mine ever since launch, I like it very much. I do miss those features such as the 120hz display and camera setup but for the price I paid Im very happy with it. The battery life like you said is a monster and its does everything without skipping a beat. One of the biggest reasons why I bought this over the pro model is for the dynamic island, Im so happy these regular iPhones got it, it just makes the phone look much better also usb c is great as well. I don't mind that data transfer rate is slower compared to the pro, tbh I think its because they never built the usb 3.0 controller into the A16 cpu like they did with the newer A17 "pro" cpu. As for the other features I do understand why they reserve it for the "pro" models because if they didn't have anything to distinguish between the two, most people would settle for the regular one. NGL it would be nice if they brought all the features to the regular iPhone xD But I do get why they don't

      Good points, if Apple really wanted to differentiate the pro models, you’d think they’d put higher wattage charging capabilities with the pro models now that they have usb-c but it seems the whole lineup charges at the same speed and really just depends on what adapter you use up to 20-30 watts.

      Good point, and this basically means they don't have many new features to offer, hence the rationing of features between the regulars and the pros. I really think Apple should take a good 2-3 years off without releasing any new phone and actually work on something that is worth upgrading to. Each year just comes with very minor upgrades, it's ridiculous. You only notice a significant change moving from something like the 11 to the 15 plus as I'm about to do.

      That’s not really a good excuse in my opinion. The iPad Air 4 and iPad mini 6 had the A14 and A15 chips respectively which didn’t have dedicated USB 3 controllers considering the iPhone 12 and 13 didn’t have them, and yet their USBC ports still had USB 3 speeds. Granted, they’re not 10 Gb/s, only 5 Gb/s. But that’s still 10x faster than the USB speeds on any iPhone. Apple could have put a USB 3 port on the iPhone 15 if they wanted to. But they didn’t just to save a few bucks per unit in production and to further differentiate the regular and pro models

    USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds are a feature of the A17 Pro which has a high speed USB controller on-chip.
    The A16 in the iPhone 15s don't have this logic - thus the USB 2 speeds.
    Always on display for a non-LTPO panel would cause drastically decreased battery life, as would 120 hz since you'd have to drive 120 hz whenever the screen was active. There's a reason those Android phones have such gigantic batteries.
