iPhone 15 Plus - Battery Champ, but Flawed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- iPhone 15 Plus has been out for over 6 months and is now 211 old. After using it again as my main device I share my experience with iPhone 15 Plus. In this video I talk about the iPhone 15 Plus durability, display, PWM, Dynamic Island, battery life, performance, cameras and connectivity and help you decide if you should buy a new iPhone 15 Plus or a used iPhone 14 Pro Max or wait for iPhone 16 Plus or iPhone 16 Pro Max. #iPhone15 #iPhone #Apple #iOS18
iPhone 15 Plus is the phone everyone seems to dislike due to its lack of Pro Motion and always on display, but everyone seems to secretly love. What do you think of it now?

The video is still processing to 4K60 HDR, but 1440 was ready so I made it live. Hope you enjoy.
This looks very nice.
4k60HZ look good for 15 pro
HDR makes the videos too bright and blinding
Ja 🎉😊
Is the pwm Flicker really that noticeable ? Also I can't afford the price of pro max and don't want to wait til I have enough. I'm coming from s22 ultra. That being said between the 15 pro and the 15 plus which would you recommend me buy.
I have been using my 15 plus since mid december 2023 and it was a much needed upgrade over my 7 plus. Battery life has been amazing with it, lasting me over 3 days on a 100-0 discharge.
Yo same i went from a 7 plus to 15 pro max and the difference is astronomical battery life also lasts me easily a full day of heavy usage
Are you on 17.4.1?
Apple accidentally gave 15 Plus a great battery and guess what, the 16 Plus is going to be the only iPhone that will see a *reduction* in battery capacity later this year.
At this point I'm convinced the 4th model iPhone is just there to sell all other models and it's very sad considering the cult following the mini had.
Nah
They didn’t do it on purpose it only 60 hertz plus I have both and this isn’t true iPhone pro max last a lil bit longer
@@peturf1788 the mini with a dynamic island would’ve been amazing 😢
I believe the 14 plus also had the best battery life? So …
Watching on my new iPhone 15 plus.
I bought my iPhone 15 Plus back in March for my birthday and I am happy with it.
Funny how I bought it for my few days late birthday gift in mid February and the exact same green one like in this video. Coming from an S20 Plus. Only missed the 120Hz for the first few days. But everything else. Cameras (especially video recording), microphone quality, speakers quality, screen quality, just miles miles better. Not much surprising for the price of the upgrade.
thank you Aaron for this video! i got the 15PM on launch day but i was REALLY debating on whether to get this or the Max and i’m glad I chose the Max. keep up the good work👍🏾
HDR videos are love, thanks for doing this.
Freaking LOVE this outside HDR content!! My eyes love it!
Glad you enjoy it!
@@zollotech So do I!
Yes! More of it please!
Agreed it looks amazing.

Bad news for those who is waiting for the iPhone 16 Plus, they decreased the battery capacity. But the iPhone 15 Plus is amazing!
so cRapple basically made a mistake that benefits consumers
I think that is not accurate. There is not one person in this world that has been right every time they predicted something. Look at iOS 17, it was going to have split-screen but look!!👀 It’s not there is it?
@@fredlacroix6865Android with all the bloatware is no good.
Does the iPhone 15 pro max have a good battery as well? Or just the 15 plus. Are they different battery's?
I mean from the rumor I saw it was a decrease of like 10 mah, that’s not really gonna male a big difference
Yes! You filmed outside!!! I love it when you film outside! I would buy an iPhone 15 Plus but if I upgrade to any phone, I have to get the iPhone 15 Pro Max because of the PWM, I was at a concert back on Friday and was taking pictures with my iPhone 12 Mini but I had to borrow my dad's iPhone 15 Pro when it started because I was getting headaches and I could not look at the screen anymore. Other then that, if I did not have to deal with PWM, I'd buy it! Thank you for the video, Aaron! It was a great video!
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Love this outdoor review Aaron man what a great review love your videos and continue doing what u are doing Aaron will support u in the long run
Great video Aaron. Keep it up 😊
This iPhone is underrated in my opinion. It’s way better than it’s predecessor.
The iPhone 15 video recording reveal was actually insane. I was honestly blown away by the quality of this video so far then BAM apparently you've been recording on the 15 all along. Its a true testament to the quality of iPhone photography and videography.
Cool to see you outside, Aaron!
I have a 15 plus for about a month, no issues at all, nice brigth screen, the cameras are good, I upgrade from a 12 pro max, pretty happy with this one.
I love the recording outdoors
I love the battery on my 15 plus coming from IPhone X❤, thanks for the review Aaron
More outdoor videos, gives the video more of that spring/summer time vibe ☀️👍
Hi there Aaron mark from Perth Australia I’m using iPhone 14 Plus love it great battery also love your videos so thank you.
Thank you Aaron for your content I appreciate work n I will stick with my iPhone 15 pro n the iPhone 15 plus is a nice phone for some for the price ❤😊
Man I regret it so hard that I didn’t go for the iPhone 15 Plus. I’ve got myself the iPhone 15 instead but I do need that extra battery.
Great update video. Almost upgraded to this from my 12PM but decided to wait for 16PM. Suggestion, when showing screen 2:59 navigation, dark mode would be better to use as it’s easier for viewers to see.
You can’t see it in sunlight very well when you are outside or under bright lights because it just causes a huge amount of reflections
@@zollotech Can’t win either way but, at least we can still see it and you can still see it.

Just got my 15 Plus after regular 12. Honestly, it’s perfect for me. I don’t mind the absence of ProMotion if it helps get more battery life, I would have turned it off anyway (I don’t know if it’s an option).
And screen is big, bright and just… well, amazing. I think finally Apple found good balance for Plus model. I don’t need nor want “pro” features, but I still want big phone with good display and as good of battery life as possible.
Aaron, you should do more HDR videos. This looks STUNNING on the Macbook´s XDR display.
favorite iphone since the 11, even after the 13 pro for a couple years! 3 day battery life has been awesome 😌
I love using it I have myself at 132 charge cycles still at 100%
Mines at 99% with 81 cycles
It’s gonna be sad if the 16 plus gets worse battery life😢…. Hopefully the 16 pro max is going to be able to be the champ in battery life with the bigger battery and a18’pro chip
I bought this phone 2 weeks ago ! Coming from an iphone 11pro , I changed it because the battery and the camera☺️& i love it 🥰 big difference for me of course. Else I don’t pay no mind to the 60g display I don’t care about that for that i used my ipad pro 2gen 😅lol
Long time follower here . ❤
Hi Aaron
I saw you recording the sound with DJI Mic, do you connected only with bluetooth to the iPhone? Is it sounds great?
That's my phone now and it's battery King ❤
Nice video
Great phone ❤ Enjoy it
I will NEVER get a non-pro iPhone, unless they make some drastic changes in the upcoming generations.
This recent trend of them using last-gen chips/hardware and 60hz displays on non-pros is awful.
Agreed. Smaller pro is always the move.
💯
I mean if you don’t give a damn about 60Hz or don’t care if it’s a little bit faster then you can save a bit and go with the normal models but you also lose in cameras
First world problems
If it had 1tb of internal storage I’d buy one.
Thanks for the video, Aaron.
The iPhone 15 Plus is amazing!
I'm watching on my 6 months old 14 plus 😍❤ still battery performance is one day to one day I will put the charge ❤😍
You bought a 14 Plus when the 15 Plus came out ???
Using iphone 15 plus from 7 months and still on 100% health and using 80%charging limit feature great phone for normal usage i love it 👌
You put your SIM in? I have 15 but no SIM tray. It’s E-SIM. If you configured E-SIM, please do a video on that. I need training. Thanks for your great videos.
Can you do more videos outside it’s really nice 👍
I used to do a lot of videos outside. I figured I would go back and visit That so I may be doing it more.
Ok
Just got the 15 Pro Max right now but I'm also looking forward to upgrade 4 months later to a 16 Pro
The video camera on the iPhone is crazy. Watching with the 15PRO.
I can upgrade my reg 13 in October I’m definitely gonna pick this up in yellow this will make a great 2nd phone and it will be cheaper even tho I think it’s a watered down 14pm it’s still nice
I agree. Esp at that price of the Plus, it should not be 60hz. Also, not adding the action button is petty
still using the XR. planning to upgrade to the 15 plus.
I am XR 128GB user. Just order the 15 Plus 256GB. My XR is starting to glitch which is very annoying to say the least. I looking forward to the upgrade.
I love my iPhone 15 plus great battery for sure. All depends what I do. Overall very smooth. I do have trouble with my WiFi switching to 5G
I have the iPhone 14 Plus phone I love it so far but I might go up to the iPhone 15 plus
15 plus Battery life is really great....👍
Until is not anymore
Is this your house? This location seems very beautiful
Would it be worth waiting for the 16 series and then get the 15plus on a discount.
I am still using my 13 pro :) but i will probably change it with 16 pro when he come out :) . Great video and keep This great job :)
Ugh same! I don’t know what to do. I want to switch now but I want to wait for the 16.
Best iPhone I’ve ever had.
What is the screen on time for a complete battery cycle?
I am watching this video from my 15 plus (blue) and man I love HDR
also, I love my phone a lot. It was worth it, I was leaning towards the pro max but this was budget friendly. I have tested the battery to its limits and I got like ~12-13 hrs screen on time on full charge (I am a heavy user).
Really can't get myself to pony up that amount of money for a 60 hertz screen
60Hz in 2024
My 15plus speakers do not distort at high volume, im actually supprised by the output, and think the material plays a role and im happy
I got an iPhone 15+ because it was the newest phone at the time which I could afford. I had to shell out money anyway for another iPad mini and all new USB-C cords and bricks as well.
My iPad mini 4 had poor diagnostics and its battery could not be changed and my used iPhone XS had too cracked a back glass to have its 80% battery changed so I had to get all new stuff.
Splurging a few hundred clams more for the iPhone 15 pro or PM really was a non-starter.
Hello i have recently got 15 plus and i want to prevent my device from burn in ( used Samsung android oled and suffered) aaron can u give some suggestions for my 15 plus ? To keep it for long … ( my use playing games like pubg cod etc, watching videos and bit social media use)
Aaron, just curious: Just how many PHONES, all told, do you own!
Are you ever given free merch to test and then keep?
Or, do you pay for all phones you own?
Hoping curiosity will not kill the cat.
My 13 Pro Max is sitting at 91% ( I expect it to go down to 90 any time now) 29 months now. I don't charge it fully as much any more, but it's been pretty good. Will be trading it in this falll on a 16 Pro Max, as I trade every 2-3 years, and AT&T always gives me a good trade value.
I’ve the 13 Pro since December 2021 and it’s on 85% battery health,I’ll probably just get a new battery when it gets noticeable bad
I have the iPhone 15 Plus , I also have the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Both great phones.
Apple force us to buy the Pro‘s. And yes the difference between 60hz and 120hz is huge ! Have the Xr since 2018 and the normal 15 feels slow laggy as my Xr. 60hz in 2024 is not normal. All cheap Android phones have 120hz.
But do they even utilize the entire 120hz?
Coming from an 11 to 15, I can confirm your comment on it being laggy is not true.
@@onlymuchemi Yeah I was wondering about this since I need to upgrade from an xr. I want the 15 plus. Would the difference between a 120 hz and 60 hz even be noticeable coming from an xr?
@@tmn8547came from Xr to 15 plus now. Xr also has 60 hz so it will not matter but it is smooth since it is new
I love the 15 series i think they are great... Still using my 13 regular with 256gb it's 2 years old now with a battery health pf 94% 😊 i use it for work n personal use n as much as i love the 15 series i just felt wouldn't upgrade till iphone 16 😊
should I used magsafe or wire to charge the phone every night ?
I’ve been saying it for years, microstutters with animations and scrolling is a MAJOR issue with iOS, for me I first picked up on it with iOS 14 but it was likely introduced with iOS 13. I seem to notice it a lot more than others since my eyes are very sensitive to framedrops but it’s there on every iPhone model regardless of ProMotion. It’s significantly more prominent on older devices or ones with a long running OS build. I contacted apple about it a few years ago and they claimed it’s under investigation and it still hasn’t been fixed. I doubt it ever will be tbh.
Ok I’m glad I saw your comment about microstutters because people in the comments make it seem like it’s the 60hz the issue. I need to upgrade because I have an xr. I want pink. I’m now noticing micro stutters on my xr.
@@tmn8547 upgrading won’t fix it at all. Like I said it’s on every iPhone model. Until apple AND app developers explicitly fix it, it’ll be there no matter what.
I had an iPhone XR for 5 years and no micro stutter. It is still very fine to use.
More HDR videos pls❤
With so many shortcuts to reduce screen dimming automatically and closing apps, my iphone 13 lasts 1 day or more easily with good usage. i dont play games.. i will plan to upgrade to 15 Plus when 17 is released.. I hope that will last 3 days with the same settings..
Battery king iPhone 15 Plus ❤🎉
I heard somewhere that the reason for slower USB-C port was actually due to the reuse of the A16 Bionic from previous Lightning-equipped phones. Seeing as those devices were also limited to USB 2.0 transfer speeds, it’s likely that the A16 Bionic just doesnt have the IO controller/USB controller interface required to support USB 3.0. Where, by contrast, the A17 chip was designed with USBC and high speed data TX could be supported at the silicon level. Just something i heard though, and it makes some sense. hopefully this will not be an issue that persists into future models though.
True but they could have changed it some
Faszinierend. Danke dafür. Was nutzen Sie denn für ein Smartphone? 🤨🫣
Got the iPhone 15 Plus last Sunday in Singapore. Amazing battery life and the display is nice. The 120Hz doesn’t really matter to me
Right? I see so many comments on 120hz. Who cares about refresh rate if it does almost everything that the pro can do.
@@onlymuchemi Yup, 120hz to me, it’s not something that must have.
I agree! Most people don’t even notice except for those who say they can.
I think to Apples defense I have to mention, that the A16 processor lacks the USB C module unlike the A17 pro chip. The A16 was designed for the slow lightning port with USB 2.0 speed…like the 15/15 plus has with it’s slow USB C port…so I think this is the official technical reason…otherwise they should have put the same processor in every model like they once did back in the 13 series but with some variations.
True but it shouldn’t have been
@@zollotech Yes! You are right…especially for the price! Have a great day! 👍🏻
what about the iPhone 15 original models, Aaron? I mean, iPhone 15 regular models. I am using it.
Precisely my point flux is flux, whether inside the wire or outside the rod still a dirty weld until cleaned!
Where can I get the wallpaper?
afaik the usb c is slower on non pro as it recycles last years chips that dont support usb 3 speeds. so its just convenient for apple without being intentional.
I love my 15+'s battery life. My iPad mini 6's battery life, between charges, is less than ideal.
13 pro max battery is an absolute beast also.
In regards to the slower usb c should they have used a faster port? Maybe but probably not. T
he reason you buy the 15 plus is you want the bigger iphone experience but dont need an 15 pro. The lack of 120 hz at the price is a bigger issue for market parity (even If I am in the 120 hz is overrated and I turn it off camp).
17.5 beta decreased my battery health from 100% to 99% … I quickly went back to 17.4.1 on my 15 plus 😅
The beta did not decrease battery health. It just measures it after you install an update.
I have used the iPhone 15 for quite a while and mine is the same color with yours. My only concern is that I set my phone to charge only to 80%, but sometimes it charged to 90% which I believe a system bug. Other than that, I don’t have any problems using this phone so far.
It is indeed not the best phone and could’ve been better considering its price. But overall this is a good phone.
I had this issue too on my 15 pro max, it charged up to 81% one time 😂
I'm also guessing that that’s just a bug
I really like the non-pro iPhones , they are so light and I think most people don’t use extra telephoto lens and only the main and ultra wide lenses enough for them ,plus in the day to day use you can’t tell the difference between A17 pro and A16 Bionic , personally the 60 Hz display is the only dealbreaker for me , and that’s the only reason I’m going with the pro, If they bring Promotion to regular models i’m never buying a pro again
This is why they’ll never introduce 120 HZ to non pro models. It gives them a reason to charge more for & force & or entice consumers into getting the pro models.
What’s sad is, it’s a very basic feature that you can find in a $200 - $300 android. Apple’s so petty when it comes to this.
I really hope that OnePlus continues to improve on their phones & at the same time maintain their prices. That’s the biggest problem in the U.S. phone market. There isn’t enough competition.
My 14 plus is excelent the battery is the best
I love iphone 15plus been using it for 8 months and the battery life is 99%
I’ve always thought the Plus models were a cash grab like you said. They really don’t need both the regular 16 and the Plus.
I’m using a 12 Pro Max 256GB the blue one. And I love it but it does get hot playing games like Roblox
The processor is absolutely fine and fast enough to play "AAA". The issue is the amount of RAM. Those games are requiring at least 8GB.... That's why RE and others are supported on M1 which is actually A14 architecture, but it has 8GB of RAM. Few chineese tech channels ran without problems RE on A14/15/A16. A17 Pro is barely any faster than A16. Tests are everywhere. (because it's still based on A16 architecture)
It’s great phone I am using it since 3 months it’s so fast
is it just me or does 60hz on Pro iPhones feel laggier than native 60hz iPhones? I recently got the 15 Pro Max and its 60hz is unbearably laggy
Still on my 13 pro max
I like the plus ❤❤❤
My battery health on 15 plus is down to 98% for 50 charge cycles
In day to day use for someone who is coming from an old iPhone, and who isn’t a content creator or photo journalist, does 120 hz REALLY matter? I need to upgrade. 😂😂 I wanted the plus in pink.
14 plus for me🙋♂️
Don’t care about pro motion. I just wanted a larger battery.
i find it weird that the animation speed would depend on the refresh rate.
big phones need navigational button. gestures suck big time
My 15 plus drains alot bought from dubai japan variant
