Pros
- 48 MP main camera for detailed photos
- Long battery life: up to 26 hours of video playback
- USB-C port
- Large 6.7-inch screen for video and games
Cons
- 60 Hz screen: scrolling is less smooth than on the ProMotion models

Our verdict. The iPhone 15 Plus suits people who want a big screen without paying for Pro features. Its strongest points are the 48 MP main camera and up to 26 hours of video playback. The trade-offs are a 60 Hz screen and no telephoto lens. The newer iPhone 16 Plus is also on SpecsDrop.
