Apple recently unveiled the iPhone 15 and ‌iPhone 15‌ Plus as the successors to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, featuring the Dynamic Island, a 48-megapixel main camera, a USB-C port, and more. Following the discontinuation of its “mini” devices, this is the second time Apple has offered offering a standard model with a 6.7-inch display – a display size that used to be exclusive to the high-end iPhone “Pro Max” lineup.

Starting at $799 for the iPhone 15 and $899 for the iPhone 15 Plus, respectively. The majority of the functionality on the two phones are identical, but there are a few minor variations that merit attention. Our article helps you choose which of these two iPhone models is best for you by highlighting the differences between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

Beyond differences in size, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have very identical main features. Both phones come in a same range of colors and use the same OLED Super Retina XDR display, A16 Bionic chip, and “advanced” camera arrangement. However, there are still a few significant differences:

The iPhone 15 Plus does not offer any further camera upgrades over the smaller model, unlike several iPhone models with varying display sizes, such as the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. In actuality, purchasing the larger gadget has no benefits in terms of standalone functionality. Beyond the bigger display, the only major improvement worth taking into account is the six extra hours of battery life.

Screen size is definitely the most crucial factor to consider when deciding between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, but comfort, portability, and weight are other vital factors to take into account. Although the extra $100 pricing for the iPhone 15 Plus seems reasonable given the larger display and longer battery life, it is important to consider these additional factors for your particular use case.

The iPhone 15 Plus has the best battery life you can get from a non-Pro iPhone model, but it does not mean that every user will find it beneficial to make the investment. Not everyone wants a 6.7-inch iPhone, which is bigger and heavier. While some people might find the iPhone 15 Plus’s size to be excessive or uncomfortable to hold, others will adore the larger display for watching media. Since the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus practically all attributes except battery life are customizable, screen size is essentially a question of personal opinion.
