Don't get me wrong loved the pro, but felt it was being wasted, Plus has everything I need, Bigger Screen ( I'm 61 this year and so my eyesight isn't as good as it could be) and as you said Apple packed in so much on this phone in comparison to last years phone, for us who just want a non pro phone this is really a no brainer.
I’ve had a few iPhones through the years so I’ve enjoyed the IOS experience. Last year I got the 14 Plus even though everyone bagged on it it was the best battery life on any smartphone that I’ve had. So this year I saw what the 15 Plus had to offer and so I got it. I’ve had it for 2 weeks now and it’s way better than the 14 Plus. The battery life is just as great I’m having a blast with this iPhone this year.

Also, it has even less bugs and better photography. And it’s super ergonomic. Easily one of the best phones right now. It should cost at least as much as iPhone 15 Pro if I’m being honest; and that is with 60Hz refresh rate in mind.

Wow, awesome UA-cam video, my family and I have just all bought the iPhone 15+ today. It was kind of a no-brainer, didn’t want the lowest and, didn’t need the highest end, so we got the Plus. This video thank you by the way to Max Tech, you have really made us appreciate the purchase we made today of all four iPhone fifteens. This was the best purchase we’ve made. We wanted a bigger screen. We had iPhone 12 before, we wanted an upgrade to 128 Mb storage, and all of the other things you said in your video. Thanks a lot, this really helps us. All the best.

@@nothingishere3356 iPhone 13 Pro Max is amazing too. I would probably wait one more year if you currently own 13PM, unless your phone has poor battery health or other issues?
Currently looking to upgrade from an iPhone 11 (which I upgraded from a 6s prior.) I really enjoy my iPhone, and was stuck between the 14 plus and 15 plus, with battery being my biggest priority. I was leaning towards saving a little with the 14 plus, but after this video will likely snag the 15 plus instead. Great video and loved the breakdown, especially for people who don't upgrade their phones often (like myself haha.)
I’m going to need an update on how that’s going!! I’m still rocking my IPhone XS hoping to upgrade here soon, I don’t know what to go for so I’m hoping I can get your opinion on your new 15 plus!
@@Likethecheese0 Hey Iris! So far I’m enjoying it quite a bit! Battery life is night and day difference between my 11. I wasn’t huge on the size at first, but am used to it more now. I went with this over the 14 Plus, and am loving the camera difference. I think that and the battery were my biggest reason to upgrade. Although I don’t love the price I paid (no one does getting a new phone nowadays haha,) I’m glad I went with the 15 plus and its storage (512 GB.) And for context I’m the type of person who replaces their phone once every 4-5 years.
I got the 820 dollar deal Verizon was offering and the phone is 900 bucks. the phone will cost me over payment of 3 years (that’s the catch) 80 bucks. I’ve been with Verizon for 10 years now so this deal was a no brainer.
i bought the 15 plus and imm happy but a lot of people are saying the 60hz is deal breaker and i was like not really considering the upgrades it got. i wish it was at least 90hz but its not a deal breaker
I downgraded from 14PM and I'm more than satisfied. Felt like the 14 PM is a waste of Money, no Bang for the Buck. Just a huge Brick and expensive because of Crap like 120Hz and AOD.
I bought a 256 gigs silver iPhone X before they split their iPhone line up into Regular and Pros. In a sense what I’d been using was a predecessors of the Pro devices with the stainless steel railings on the side. So I’ve always considered upgrading to a Pro iPhone whenever that time may be, but this year since they dropped support for iOS 17 for the X and combined with the fact that my device suffered water damage and the replacement display is wonky and Face ID is not working, I think I gotta upgrade. I’m from India and here the 15 Plus 256 GB is retailing for Rs. 100,000 as compared to Rs. 160,000 for the Pro Max with worse battery performance. Plus this year’s upgrade to the 48 MP camera, the Dynamic Island, basically the same display with same peak brightness of 2000 nits sounds too good to overlook. I’m soon gonna switch to the 15 Plus.
I have the basic iphone 12 and I've been wanting to upgrade, I thought about the 14 pro for the longest time but maybe 15 plus is the way to go although I'd like the few extra camera details.
Thank you Max for this honest review. Just a brilliant device all in all for us who have tried it for some time now. I knew that iPhone 16 would receive 60Hz as well, thanks to Ross Young’s early predictions so kinda knew that this was the perfect year to invest in a Plus model.
Good video, but important upgrade you missed is addition of dynamic island, which makes the front virtually indistinguishable from pro models and adds new software capabilities
Which upgrades did Apple put into the 15 plus compared to the regular 15? I thought screen and battery size were the only differences. It's a question to the comment around 9 minutes in the video.
Reasons not to get this phone: 1. Brick in your pocket 2. 60Hz display, stop saying most people won’t tell the difference because it does make a difference to UX and should be a standard feature on smartphones. 3. Ultrawide camera sucks, same old noisy fixed focus sensor they had used since the 11 series. Get the 14 pro instead for that price!
I still have and love my Note20 Ultra 5g. My kids wont stop annoying me about my green bubbles, so I'm getting an iphone too. This video helped me pick one, thanks!
I started with the regular 15 but it was too small so I returned it and ordered a 15 plus in black and I had it for 3 days I love it and the bigger screen and great battery life 128 is great amount of storage
Thank you for the review. I wish Apple did the same with the iPhone Mini lineup instead of giving it up so quickly. If the iPhone 15 Mini exists or even better a iPhone 15 Pro Mini with aluminum material to keep the weight down while have better heat dissipation than the titanium Pro models I would pay the same price as the regular Pro or even Pro Max model just for the size! With the iOS 17.0.3 update. My iPhone 15 Pro (needed the camera features like LiDAR focus ability on Pro models for work purpose that no one talks about) that is set at 80% maximum charging level now have about 55% charge vs 25% charge and/or lower at the end of day. Personally I think all the battery test videos needs a COMPLETALY redo to be fully accurately representing the true battery performance of the iPhone 15 line up today unless he units were tested with iOS 17.0.3 or later installed. My iPhone 15 Pro no longer heating up since iOS 17.0.3 and since "Heat = Use of High Amount of Energy" on any electronic or mechanical products, therefor; longer longevity & runtime unless.... Would it be possible that Apple did it purposely to sell a lot more Plus & Max models knowing how quickly the UA-cam reviewers would flood UA-cam with vast amount of battery tests within two weeks of receiving the new models and "Fix it up" later to produce a good amount of "Fake News" for the future viewers.... Noooo...they wouldn't.....Would they!!!???🤔🤔🤔(Not to say I had never worked in an advertising & marketing environment before.... Topless car wash will attract a lot of attention and business as long as people understand it means the top part of car will not be washed.....🤣🤣🤣)
I always felt the Mini was hindered by the Notch as it was comparatively larger on the Mini than the other phones. If Apple did a Mini with a smaller obstruction on the screen and proper Pro features like a x5 telephoto, I would much rather get that than any other phone (might have to wait a while for that though!). But I agree with you 100% - they should bring back the Mini.
@@parjau4554 maybe the rumour of iPhone 16 maybe larger than current models will reboot a "in-between" smaller than regular and larger than previous Mini size "Mini/Pro Mini" to compensate for the need of larger camera sensor and larger battery size... I hope.
I will say this, the island features I was vary about, but it’s freaking awesome and so convenient. It’s a very cool feature once you get used to it. Huge fan of the island now
Last week made the switch from 12 Pro Max to 15 Plus… So far so good… Lack of 120 Hz is a bummer, but I didn’t feel the lack of it, cuz it’s on par with 120 Hz on Android… My main phone is a Galaxy S23+, the 15 Plus is a secondary device… Spending more on the 15 Pro or Pro Max doesn’t feel worth for me for the extra camera features and less durability… Unless you’re more into smartphone photography & videography, then only consider the Pro iPhones… That’s why I bought an S23+ rather than the Ultra, missing the extra zoom cameras & the S Pen… The S Pen, usage depends on your usage scenario…
I really want good battery life but still deciding between 15 or 15 plus because im scared its to big, do you get used to it or not (I have small hands)
Go ahead either of them both have great battery life ive seen battery test that the 15 has more battery than the 15 pro can last more i would say the extra battery on the 15 plus its worth it
I’m sold 😅❤ I got 8 plus.. I’ve tested out for a week the 15 PM and noticed it heats up quicker than my old 8+ 😢so I returned it. After all that info about the 15+ 😂oh man… I’m sticking w the plus series. Ty
I tried out the 15 pro max, and swapped it out for the 15 plus and have no regrets. I couldn’t tell the difference in performance plus I ended up with a few dollars back in my pockets.
On iphone 15 plus here. Last charged to 100% at 6:48am and I am watching this video at 10:26pm on the same day with 46% battery left and havent plugged it in since. And went through a full working day inclusive of video calls and lots of messaging. Amazing performance 🫡
@@cherie8005 i was switching for work purposes. All my app and data stuff is only on iOS. I will say my week so far had been good. And I have enjoyed the 15+ but I’m still getting use to it due to being and android user for my whole life
I actually don’t mind the transfer speed of the USB-C port on my 15 Plus, even though I mainly use it for transferring things as well, and I mostly use the MagSafe for charging.
@@movidshortsworld Very much improved battery life compared to the Galaxy Note 9 that my 15 Plus replaces. And yes I have the pink iPhone as a male! :)
I just ordered 1 of these and im pretty excited because of this review. Last iphone i had was a iphone 5c(blue!) And i hated it so much haha. I have a horrible galaxy a32 right now and its dying and so slow. So i decided to get myself a good phone! Cant wait to get my iphone 15+
I have iphone XR , i am not sure if i should upgrade to 15 plus. I am worried about the USB-C 2.0 instead of 3.0 and 60 hz refresh rate. My XR has alot of issues though, can you suggest?
Dhoka hai. Lol. If you want to just have the latest then go for 15 plus. Sab same hai if you are not avid user. You can think of 14 plus and save money. XR to Plus - size bada hai. Thoda uncomfortable hota hai kuch din. Battery is ok. Runs a day. Only plus point is type C charging. I have macbook m1. So its little easy and comfortable to me as i can use same cable.
@@vinaytoshniwal3318 Yes bro I bought it on 27th October and the phone is great touchwood. If you don’t play heavy games it will last 24+ hours easily. If you play for 1-2 hours still it will give 24 hours battery backup. Unless you’re a full time gamer then no phone can help you. My issue with XR was battery health and I used my phone for 5 years. There was a screen lag and battery issues, I wasn’t able to hear the other person properly on calls even when the volume was full and software was upto date. So I had to buy a new phone. I sold my Apple XR for 12.8K in an exchange offer on Apple Store and bought 15 plus by paying balance. It’s worth the upgrade atleast for my situation.
If I really need to take a raw picture, a third party app like halide should be enough right? That way I can edit photos like a pro even on a regular iPhone 15
Yeah but a bunch of these raw photos app have jumped into subscription models. And pro raw is a little bit different from regular raw. It’s stacked raw.
Do the Camera Comparison between 15 Pro vs 15 Pro max with different Zoom Levels ,Please do the like if anyone wants this comparison so creator can take note of it
The only thing that's stopping me buying this compared to the 15 pro is the refresh rate. Is the 15pro more "future proof " because of the refresh rate
I actually wouldn’t recommend 128gb anymore. 256gb is basically the bare minimum if you wanna be shooting any photos & videos and want to keep the files local.
Absolutely spot on. I didn’t need 256 but I prefer to spend the extra £100 for peace of mind. When spending up to £1000 what’s a hundred. I have the 15 plus from a 13 mini. The plus is absolutely stunning and the speakers superb. Having 60hz instead of 120 is actually fine and saves battery. People can criticise Apple as much as they want but you are buying a superb product and regular updates.
I got the 12 and I want to upgrade. I haven’t upgraded for a new iPhone drop in a while.. sometimes I’d buy the oldest drop when then newest one came out. But I want to treat myself to something.. space is key for me because of the apps I have and the group texts I have. Plus pictures and videos I’ll be taking more of bc my wife and I are expecting a baby in March. So I want space, camera and a great phone all around. Also have air buds 2 and a Apple Watch that’s not new lol what do you recommend
Right I wouldn’t recommend 128gb anymore. But there are some people like me who only used 50-60gb on his phone so for me 128 is perfect. If you have the extra money I would say go for the 256gb.
The iPhone 14 Plus in blue with 512 GB only cost me new 999 € after taxes. One year earlier on its release it cost 1.539 € … and was to expensive if you could get an 13 Pro Max with 1 TB for the same price. Waiting could save you real money!
Previous tests showed the 15 Plus beating the 15 PM by several hours in battery, but in the latest iOS update the 15 PM is beating the 15 Plus but the 15 PM's battery life is the same, the 15 Plus is simply dying faster. Seems they capped it. Sucks for the people who bought the 15 Plus........ Its very suspicious how its suddenly like 2% worse than the PM battery wise lmao.

So I’ve always considered upgrading to a Pro iPhone whenever that time may be, but this year since they dropped support for iOS 17 for the X and combined with the fact that my device suffered water damage and the replacement display is wonky and Face ID is not working, I think I gotta upgrade. I’m from India and here the 15 Plus 256 GB is retailing for Rs. 100,000 as compared to Rs. 160,000 for the Pro Max with worse battery performance. Plus this year’s upgrade to the 48 MP camera, the Dynamic Island, basically the same display with same peak brightness of 2000 nits sounds too good to overlook. I’m soon gonna switch to the 15 Plus.
The X is a Pro and the 8 is a regular one.
Upgraded from iPhone X to iPhone 15 plus. I’m blown away.
I have the basic iphone 12 and I've been wanting to upgrade, I thought about the 14 pro for the longest time but maybe 15 plus is the way to go although I'd like the few extra camera details.
watching this on a iphone 15 pro max, i love my big screen, coming from a 12 pro max, and this phone feels much more fluid and smooth
Thank you Max for this honest review.
Just a brilliant device all in all for us who have tried it for some time now. I knew that iPhone 16 would receive 60Hz as well, thanks to Ross Young’s early predictions so kinda knew that this was the perfect year to invest in a Plus model.
Thanks much! You helped me a lot on which iPhone 15 series I will upgrade to.
This is my first I phone. I love it so much ❤
Good video, but important upgrade you missed is addition of dynamic island, which makes the front virtually indistinguishable from pro models and adds new software capabilities
I did mention it ;)
Great review! Bro, how big are your hands?? You make that Plus look like a 6.1 inch iPhone 15 !
I’m going to be deadazz with yall I bought the 15 plus just because of the cute pastel pink 😭😂 and I love this phone so much already
so real for that sister
Just to ask which one is best to get iphone 15 128 GB or the iphone 15 plus 128 GB??
Which upgrades did Apple put into the 15 plus compared to the regular 15? I thought screen and battery size were the only differences. It's a question to the comment around 9 minutes in the video.
Nothing. It’s the same besides the bigger screen and battery.
Speakers
Gonna place an order for the black 15 plus today.
Would you got it ?
Reasons not to get this phone:
1. Brick in your pocket
2. 60Hz display, stop saying most people won’t tell the difference because it does make a difference to UX and should be a standard feature on smartphones.
3. Ultrawide camera sucks, same old noisy fixed focus sensor they had used since the 11 series.
Get the 14 pro instead for that price!
100% agree with you with 900$ price you can get 14 pro max
14 pro max is 20% heavier and has a worse battery. Good luck with that
In coming years 60 hz of base models will show their true Colors when apple give shitty updates to slow down the phone 😢
I still have and love my Note20 Ultra 5g. My kids wont stop annoying me about my green bubbles, so I'm getting an iphone too. This video helped me pick one, thanks!
Haha! The green bubbles!
I'm gonna get this very soon and I'm excited 😊
an awesome 📱
I started with the regular 15 but it was too small so I returned it and ordered a 15 plus in black and I had it for 3 days I love it and the bigger screen and great battery life 128 is great amount of storage
Good say sir. Do you use phone case or not? Thanks
Thank you for the review. I wish Apple did the same with the iPhone Mini lineup instead of giving it up so quickly. If the iPhone 15 Mini exists or even better a iPhone 15 Pro Mini with aluminum material to keep the weight down while have better heat dissipation than the titanium Pro models I would pay the same price as the regular Pro or even Pro Max model just for the size! With the iOS 17.0.3 update. My iPhone 15 Pro (needed the camera features like LiDAR focus ability on Pro models for work purpose that no one talks about) that is set at 80% maximum charging level now have about 55% charge vs 25% charge and/or lower at the end of day.
Personally I think all the battery test videos needs a COMPLETALY redo to be fully accurately representing the true battery performance of the iPhone 15 line up today unless he units were tested with iOS 17.0.3 or later installed. My iPhone 15 Pro no longer heating up since iOS 17.0.3 and since "Heat = Use of High Amount of Energy" on any electronic or mechanical products, therefor; longer longevity & runtime unless.... Would it be possible that Apple did it purposely to sell a lot more Plus & Max models knowing how quickly the UA-cam reviewers would flood UA-cam with vast amount of battery tests within two weeks of receiving the new models and "Fix it up" later to produce a good amount of "Fake News" for the future viewers.... Noooo...they wouldn't.....Would they!!!???🤔🤔🤔(Not to say I had never worked in an advertising & marketing environment before.... Topless car wash will attract a lot of attention and business as long as people understand it means the top part of car will not be washed.....🤣🤣🤣)
I always felt the Mini was hindered by the Notch as it was comparatively larger on the Mini than the other phones. If Apple did a Mini with a smaller obstruction on the screen and proper Pro features like a x5 telephoto, I would much rather get that than any other phone (might have to wait a while for that though!). But I agree with you 100% - they should bring back the Mini.
@@parjau4554 maybe the rumour of iPhone 16 maybe larger than current models will reboot a "in-between" smaller than regular and larger than previous Mini size "Mini/Pro Mini" to compensate for the need of larger camera sensor and larger battery size... I hope.
@@Jeo-WhatApple should just sell the iPhone Mini, iPhone, and iPhone Plus all in the same lineup.
Max, would you recommend 13 Pro Max over 15 Plus? (the 13PM 1TB is the same price as 15+ 512GB now...)
Awesome! I just ordered this one today!
Got mine today and it’s great!
Does it have 2x portrait mode?
@@sri-fx4px yes
@@Gonnyxshould i go for 256gb or 128 of it i may only use it for photo,video and social media
My 14 plus has been so good I don’t really want to upgrade to anything else. The biggest controversy is the island which most don’t actually like.
I will say this, the island features I was vary about, but it’s freaking awesome and so convenient. It’s a very cool feature once you get used to it. Huge fan of the island now
I have 15 plus.It’s a remarkable phone.
I always wanted a iPhone 15 plus and I finally got one and I love it ❤
Is there any heating issue
Does it have the same flare problem as pro model?
Thank you, that made my choice easier ❤
I have the 12 Pro Max and looking for its substitute. Should i go again for the Pro lineup or the Plus model??
Last week made the switch from 12 Pro Max to 15 Plus… So far so good… Lack of 120 Hz is a bummer, but I didn’t feel the lack of it, cuz it’s on par with 120 Hz on Android… My main phone is a Galaxy S23+, the 15 Plus is a secondary device…
Spending more on the 15 Pro or Pro Max doesn’t feel worth for me for the extra camera features and less durability… Unless you’re more into smartphone photography & videography, then only consider the Pro iPhones… That’s why I bought an S23+ rather than the Ultra, missing the extra zoom cameras & the S Pen… The S Pen, usage depends on your usage scenario…
I’m going to return the 15 pro for a 15 plus.
Sold 😊 thanks for the review
Very helpful review. Thanks!
I regret buying a 256GB version but I don't regret buying a 15 Plus. Absolutely amazing phone.
I'm looking forward to the 16 Plus
Watching this on my 15 plus ❤️
I really want good battery life but still deciding between 15 or 15 plus because im scared its to big, do you get used to it or not (I have small hands)
Go ahead either of them both have great battery life ive seen battery test that the 15 has more battery than the 15 pro can last more i would say the extra battery on the 15 plus its worth it
love how flat edges were a feature and now we're back too round
I’m sold 😅❤ I got 8 plus.. I’ve tested out for a week the 15 PM and noticed it heats up quicker than my old 8+ 😢so I returned it. After all that info about the 15+ 😂oh man… I’m sticking w the plus series. Ty
I really am confused what to buy S24 plus or iPhone 15 plus
Same
I tried out the 15 pro max, and swapped it out for the 15 plus and have no regrets. I couldn’t tell the difference in performance plus I ended up with a few dollars back in my pockets.
Now, I am thinking, should I upgrade to 15 plus from 13 mini or wait for 16? Or it will be worse and I just buy 15 plus?
I’ll buy 15 plus once the 16 comes out
save money to get the iphone 15+
On iphone 15 plus here. Last charged to 100% at 6:48am and I am watching this video at 10:26pm on the same day with 46% battery left and havent plugged it in since. And went through a full working day inclusive of video calls and lots of messaging. Amazing performance 🫡
Do you think this iPhone could actually last me 5 years? Im planning on upgrading until I finish college
it really all depends on how well you are at taking care of your stuff🤷🏽♀️
if I can afford both, should I get the 15 plus or the 15 pro? I haven't been able to decide...
15 plus the pro and pro max have overheating issues I heard
@@danielchen7143 I heard that the overheating issues have been fixed
@@danielchen7143Overheating, Display Burn-In, Wireless Charging in many car brands deactivate the NFC Chip and it's fragile as heck
@@danielchen7143overheating goes way back to way before the 13 lineup sadly.
currently switching from a s23 plus to a 15 plus. needed this review to feel more conference about my switch. (switching for work purposes)
Why are u switching from 23+? I'm torn about getting the the 15+ or 23+ 😭
@@cherie8005 i was switching for work purposes. All my app and data stuff is only on iOS. I will say my week so far had been good. And I have enjoyed the 15+ but I’m still getting use to it due to being and android user for my whole life
I actually don’t mind the transfer speed of the USB-C port on my 15 Plus, even though I mainly use it for transferring things as well, and I mostly use the MagSafe for charging.
hows battery if i'm shifting from android ??
@@movidshortsworld It's very much improved battery life compared to my older Galaxy Note 9 my 15 Plus is replacing! :)
@@movidshortsworld Very much improved battery life compared to the Galaxy Note 9 that my 15 Plus replaces. And yes I have the pink iPhone as a male! :)
@@dennisthebrony2022In my country this phone 256GB is almost as expensive as the 15 pro Max so it ain’t worth buying it
I just ordered 1 of these and im pretty excited because of this review. Last iphone i had was a iphone 5c(blue!) And i hated it so much haha. I have a horrible galaxy a32 right now and its dying and so slow. So i decided to get myself a good phone! Cant wait to get my iphone 15+
How do you like it so far?
Could you test if the leather case for iPhone 14 plus will fit 15 plus? According to dimension it should fit but I’m not sure 😢
Some posters on Reddit have said that the case fits but the cut outs around the camera and USBC port are slightly off.
Pls help me which one to buy? 15plus or 15pro?
15 Plus for sure ❤
I especially recommend the green and pink colors, but yellow is not bad to prevent fingerprints either
15 Pro is better in every way except battery life
@@EverythingEvo and the 60hz..
Finally someone has seen the light :)
Wow - I've just upgraded from an iphone SE 2020 🤣🤣... So, guessing this will be a good upgrade!!! So looking forward to it.
128 gb enough?
Great review and I totally agree.
thanks for the video, helped a lot!
I love my 15 plus but now I need to replace it because I have a big crack on the phone and a piece of the back camera came out 😭
This is the phone I'm considering buying just need to decide on a color.
me too, i wish there was a plain white but i might go with the blue since it is closest. but the pink is so cute :(
@@schoolspatties8879 I think I'm going with the black yellow or green
I could'nt decide eather but i ordered the black one and bought a nice blue phonecase.
@@snoepje16 I think I'm gonna get yellow

I have iphone XR , i am not sure if i should upgrade to 15 plus. I am worried about the USB-C 2.0 instead of 3.0 and 60 hz refresh rate. My XR has alot of issues though, can you suggest?
Same here. Just upgraded from XR to 15 Plus. Just buying accessories to protect it before using 🙂
Hey even im thinking to switch from XR to 15 plus, can you suggest how has the experience been so far?
Dhoka hai. Lol.
If you want to just have the latest then go for 15 plus.
Sab same hai if you are not avid user.
You can think of 14 plus and save money.
XR to Plus - size bada hai. Thoda uncomfortable hota hai kuch din.
Battery is ok. Runs a day.
Only plus point is type C charging. I have macbook m1. So its little easy and comfortable to me as i can use same cable.
Maninder - did you buy?
I never faced issues with XR
@@vinaytoshniwal3318 Yes bro I bought it on 27th October and the phone is great touchwood. If you don’t play heavy games it will last 24+ hours easily. If you play for 1-2 hours still it will give 24 hours battery backup. Unless you’re a full time gamer then no phone can help you. My issue with XR was battery health and I used my phone for 5 years. There was a screen lag and battery issues, I wasn’t able to hear the other person properly on calls even when the volume was full and software was upto date. So I had to buy a new phone. I sold my Apple XR for 12.8K in an exchange offer on Apple Store and bought 15 plus by paying balance. It’s worth the upgrade atleast for my situation.
Just got my Pro max yesterday great phone but had an option for this coming from an IPhone 14 Plus which was great while it lasted.
If I really need to take a raw picture, a third party app like halide should be enough right? That way I can edit photos like a pro even on a regular iPhone 15
Yeah but a bunch of these raw photos app have jumped into subscription models.
And pro raw is a little bit different from regular raw. It’s stacked raw.
I have purchased 15 plus after checking your video
Watching on 15 plus black ❤
Nice viewpoint!
Do the Camera Comparison between 15 Pro vs 15 Pro max with different Zoom Levels ,Please do the like if anyone wants this comparison so creator can take note of it
I am struck between 15 and 15plus, my wife wants the handy phone..but battery suggests otherwise...could you please help me in deciding
Im not waiting for 16 plus. I already got 15plus. No much more changes even the pro. Important is the chip of 15 coming from 14 pro max.
Im watching this 15 plus love it
Can a 128gb will enough for 3 yrs use
Ye
why does taking photos gets darker when using Iphone 15 plus?
The only thing that's stopping me buying this compared to the 15 pro is the refresh rate. Is the 15pro more "future proof " because of the refresh rate
Can someone explain to me what is an always-on display please?
I actually wouldn’t recommend 128gb anymore. 256gb is basically the bare minimum if you wanna be shooting any photos & videos and want to keep the files local.
Absolutely spot on. I didn’t need 256 but I prefer to spend the extra £100 for peace of mind. When spending up to £1000 what’s a hundred. I have the 15 plus from a 13 mini. The plus is absolutely stunning and the speakers superb. Having 60hz instead of 120 is actually fine and saves battery. People can criticise Apple as much as they want but you are buying a superb product and regular updates.
I got the 12 and I want to upgrade. I haven’t upgraded for a new iPhone drop in a while.. sometimes I’d buy the oldest drop when then newest one came out. But I want to treat myself to something.. space is key for me because of the apps I have and the group texts I have. Plus pictures and videos I’ll be taking more of bc my wife and I are expecting a baby in March. So I want space, camera and a great phone all around. Also have air buds 2 and a Apple Watch that’s not new lol what do you recommend
Right I wouldn’t recommend 128gb anymore. But there are some people like me who only used 50-60gb on his phone so for me 128 is perfect. If you have the extra money I would say go for the 256gb.
The iPhone 14 Plus in blue with 512 GB only cost me new 999 € after taxes. One year earlier on its release it cost 1.539 € … and was to expensive if you could get an 13 Pro Max with 1 TB for the same price. Waiting could save you real money!
Bring back the minis!!
watching in 15 plus🥰
Previous tests showed the 15 Plus beating the 15 PM by several hours in battery, but in the latest iOS update the 15 PM is beating the 15 Plus but the 15 PM's battery life is the same, the 15 Plus is simply dying faster. Seems they capped it. Sucks for the people who bought the 15 Plus........ Its very suspicious how its suddenly like 2% worse than the PM battery wise lmao.
Where did you hear this?
@@Volideei saw this on recent reviews 15 Plus got beaten by PM
