iPhone 15/Plus Help / recommendation needed - iPhone 14 plus or 15 plus

[mugmama44]

Hi all, first time being able to get a new iPhone in a couple of years; debating the iPhone 14 plus or the 15 plus. Having held both in my hands in the Apple store, I preferred the feel of the 14 for some reason. The colours put me off the 15, I am normally a plain white iPhone person! But the difference in the contract price is £3 per month so should I get the newest model? Is there that much difference in them? (currently have an iPhone 11) thank you!

15+ definitely has features and improvements not available on the 14+.. For the cost difference, why wouldn't you get the newer device?

For only £3 more a month it seems insane to pick the 14 over the 15.

My opinion...15+ for sure given the standardization of USB-C.

no one buys a 14 now unless heavily discounted

I have both the iPhone 14+ and the iPhone 15+. Honestly, I prefer holding the 14+ because it is a bit thinner, and I notice that. Otherwise, though, I prefer the 15+ because it has a better camera and a newer chip, and I notice those things. Both phones are outstanding. I have kept the 14+ and use it as a music player and a back up phone. The 14+ I really love, though. Wish the camera on it were better.
