[...] I had to replace my battery from first iOS 26 my battery bloated everything was bad about it on the phone. I have my 15 plus using it right now, my cycle count started over from the genuine battery. [...]
[...] Battery wise and performance wise. [...] I came from a base model iPhone 12 and had used it for about 3 years, then just upgraded about a couple months ago to the base 15 and have a 15 plus as my secondary media streaming phone, and I have to say, the Dynamic Island and battery life were the most difference you’ll notice & helpful so far. I never cared for the pros in general cause I’m not really a camera person however I have been taking more pics recently with the 15s camera. [...] The 120hz & always on display isn’t a huge thing for me. [...] I’ve also noticed the heating issue is whenever I use the cable that these phones come with… the heating definitely stopped when I switched to an older apple cable with slower charging. So as opposed to using the braided apple cable, I use my ipad air 4th gen’s cable for charging my phones, and no warmth happens as much to the phones. Something I’ve tested out cause I noticed even my ipad started getting warm when using my iPhone charger to charge and my ipad never gets warm when just charging it. [...]
I’m using i phone 15 plus overheating while charging overheating while capturing videos photos 10 min video photo shoot kro toh overheat ho jata hai videos edit kro toh overheat ho jata hai kya fayda itne aache processor ka normal video editing mai hi heat hoke battery drain hoke edits slow hota hai and edits hang hota hai !!! Bhai aapnee use kiya hai itne din aapkoo ye overheat feel nhi hua please reply!!!🧊
[...] The keyboard, the no back button, the calculator everything is really primitive and cumbersome. [...] This thing doesn’t even show time to full charge and whether it is charging when the screen is off😂
I use my 15 plus as my daily phone and have a pro max phone that is WiFi only and tbh.. I barely can tell when it comes to the refresh rate. [...] I was very impressed with its battery life. [...]
Rewarded myself with the 15 Plus after almost a decade with Android. Battery life is a beast (1.5 days in standard mode, casual use and music), the camera suits me just fine and I don’t miss the extra features in the 15PM. Loving the frosted finish on the back and the USB C universality.
Ya now im using iphone 15 plus. The battery is very saving. The whole day I use it and can get a balance of 50%. The screen was big and affordable to use. With the stereo speaker the sound was good. [...] Charging port type C is better than lightning cable. [...]
[...] I also have a green iphone 15 plus, the most beautiful color for me, decent camera, consistently works well, good phone. [...] I also have the 14 pro max, and that too is a wonderful phone with its powerful camera, almost similar to the iphone 15 pro. [...]
[...] I am using both iphone 15 plus and oneplus 12 and this is my real opinion 👇👇 1 ) A16 bionic chip is far better than snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor in every situation. 2 ) i phone video and photo quality is also good than Android . Only zoom is better in Android . 3 ) i phone 60fps laughing at Android 90fps 😂 gyroscope smoothness also matters in bgmi💀💀 4 ) display is also better in i phone 5 ) only charging speed is better in Android.

Useing 15 plus here my experiences Pros Battery Big display App optimisation best Camera is superb Usb type c ( any charger u can use) Dynamic island Cons 60hz refresh rate Slow usb 2.0 iOS restrictions ( most chutiya system😂) Not compatible whit windows Network problem
I have i phone 15 256 gb I bought this on 5 October 2023 on price 92000 my cycle count is 1900+ but no any issues ❤❤❤
I have iPhone 15 plus and mazedaar phone hai 😊! 28 months hone ko hai isko use karate karte.
[...] I didn't want to wait, in case prices go up when the new phones come out in September. I'd already used my iPhone 15 Plus for nearly three years. (Apple let me extend Apple Care+ for a fee so I got one more year of use out of it than I planned.)
I also just bought iphone 15 plus 256gb , one year old and 94% battery health in 49000
I've had mine almost a year and batter health is still 100%. Not too many negatives for me.
i have been using iphone 15plus since 8 months , and there’s not any big issue , the ui is much better and smoother than my previous oneplus although it’s display is 60herdz and it’s quite irritating but overall yeh phone kise cheez ke kami mehsoos nhi hone deta
Want to sell 15pro to buy this for the battery capacity. 15pro got battery problems guys. Battery health from October23 to September24 now is 90% .. [...]
I got my 15 plus last October in 2023 , well that's running fantastic although it heats sometimes due to intensive work and also due to summers as in india it reaches to 45 degrees outside, but other than that camera , performance is fabulous, my battery life is amazing still at 100% after 8 months almost as i got 4500mh battery more than its actually designed for which was 4357mh so almost 150 extra nd its working great
First year not getting a pro max and I’m happy with the 15 plus. The battery lasts all day for me and I watch YouTube at work for hours.
I was an android user since 2012 or so, till this year in June when i bought Iphone 15 Plus, coming from 2 Android Phones with 120hz screens and i managed to get used back to 60hz so fast. Iphones are so smooth
I’m using iPhone 15 plus….from past 4 months till now I did not face any problems with iPhone boss ❤and it’s addicting no other mobiles can touch iPhone software and etc and if other phone users is here they are definitely will disappoint after 2 years with their phones but iPhone not like that ❤it’s a big difference…..folks please note this
I have been using the 15 plus for a few months. Overall, my experience has been great!
Bought mine in November. Batt health is still at 100%. Overall still a good phone
I got iPhone 15 plus on the launch day and its almost 3.5 months. I am not facing any connectivity issues if the wifi and internet are strong enough. Long story cut short, iPhone 15 plus was worth buying in 90k, and so it’s definitely in 80k as well😂😂
iPhone 15 Plus: I have Reduced Transparency, Reduce Motion, and Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions, all enabled. [...] I never see any rendering issues / glitches, and the UI is smooth & snappy.
I am also pissed that despite having an iPhone 15 Plus, I am not able to get this new feature.
Still it's one of the best among non-pro iPhones, I'm also having the same colour and I have applied permanent marker on the frame to hide scratches now it looks like newly purchased iphone
Just upgraded to this from my iphone 12 today. I pretty much just use youtube and texting and can keep my 73$ a month plan with an 80$ upgrade fee from verizon. The main reason was my eyes are getting old and I needed a bigger screen...and my charging port was broken on my old phone.
I have a 17 and I still use my 15plus as my daily phone and for gaming . The battery last if you take care of the phone . I charge it once a day lol
Still have my 15 plus. Was thinking about switching but I’ll just wait it out. Everything works great still and camera is still top notch.
Using this with my iPad and Switch Lite, which both don’t have screen protectors, it was flawless. Light touches registered perfectly fine and I was not worried about irregular inputs. On my iPhone 15 Plus & SE3, which both had glass screen protectors, more pressure was needed to register an input.
This update nuked my phone so bad I’m considering trading it in. Battery is MUCH worse, laggy and glitchy, the entire UI is terrible 😭 iPhone 15 Plus.
The iphone 15 Plus felt a bit basic when I got it but against this phone it's REALLY basic. Really basic.
"Awe dropping" - where Apple finally concedes that releasing basically the same phone every year has removed all awe. I'm perfectly happy with my iPhone 15 Plus to be honest. Like every previous iPhone I've had, I use it to about 10% of what it can do (I assume 99% of users are the same)
Also I say the 15 is a good one too for the people with smaller hands and for the ones with bigger hands(man hands) use the 15 plus and pro max
got iphone 15+ 128gb for 61,243 in bbd sale and it is one of the best purchase i have ever done.
the 15 plus's only con is 60 hz other than that I have absolutely no issue with how good and amazing this iPhone has become just loved the major changes in this new iPhone ❤
[...] definitely settled my mind on a 15 plus instead of pro max, i’ll use the extra $$ to get airpods pro 2 or smth instead… i’ve been using an iphone 11 since launch and it’s honestly really good but im starting to find that the battery isn’t lasting me as long, so yea it’s really tough to find a replacement phone for the great 11 lol
i bought a new i phone 15 plus but they are many problems in i phone glitch and screen also black i phone 15 is not worth it phone. please don’t buy this phone. samsung are best phone nather then i phone 😢
[...] I bought the 15 plus because I knew that I would not be able to buy Pro Max due to the exorbitant tax rates in my country and that I would not actually use all the fantastic features of Pro. I agree with what you say, other than the screen speed, it doesn't make much difference. The phone screen is great and the battery power is great so im happy with my 15 plus :)
Set up my new iPhone 15 Plus work phone yesterday, which means I now own all 3 of this year's major flagships. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (my daily driver) & Google Pixel 8 Pro are the other 2
[...] I dont mind if its 60hz anyway I dont use 60hz its consume a lot of battery. [...] I'm using 23+ plus before and I always turn off 120hz to conserved battery.
[...] Also those who keeps bring up refresh rates drive me crazy because 60hz was fine when iPhone didn’t offer 120hz. [...]
I just recently upgraded from the iPhone 11 to the 15plus I love it I was definitely going for something a little more conservative and I have no regrets it’s nice..
I love using my 15 plus I don’t need the pro or the pro max because most people barely tell the difference between refresh rate and wouldn’t care plus the cameras on the 15 plus are amazing
