“However, it seems like Apple took that personally with some fundamental upgrades that include a trip to the Dynamic Island, a USB-C port (finally), and a massive camera update. Combine that with the bigger battery afforded to the Plus by its super-sized stature, and you have what I believe to be the best option of the entire iPhone 15 lineup.”

The best iPhone 15 this year is not the Pro or Pro Max, it's actually the iPhone 15 Plus. For its price, and for its feature set, it's easily the best iPhone for everyone. With an upgraded 48-megapixel camera, rounded edges, USB-C, and the addition of dynamic island, it's hands-down the best iPhone Apple's ever created.

The iPhone 15 Plus - This is it. This is the phone that is a true upgrade

I know you aren't the person who made this video, but how can it be the best iPhone Apple has ever created? All of it's features were on the iPhone 14 Pro last year, and the 15 Pro has better ones this year. It could be the best phone for the majority of people to buy, especially for the price, but it can't be the best phone they've ever created.

...I think the iPhone 15 actually makes the most sense...

Best is subjective and that's why Apple marketing can say they make the best products on Earth even though it lacks for example, satellite voice and SMS features available from the competition.

The Plus clearly offers the best value for most consumers. If you're the type of person that's willing to pay $300 for that last 10% of performance, then it's not for you.

Some of the reviews remind me of XR/11. Back then, it was "nobody should buy an LCD in 2018!" Today, it's "nobody should buy a 60Hz display!"

so I've only had this phone for 24 hours and so far I feel like the changes are really bigger than you think...

I really like the cameras on the Pro models. I feel it’s worth the price.

Seems like you are trying to justify your purchase.

The 48MP sensor + 2X optical zoom on 15/Plus really brings the regular models closer to Pro. So if you told people 3X and 5X are missing, they wouldn't even know.

Does the 15 plus have macro mode?

I handled the plus today at a T-Mobile store (friend was getting their home internet.). Apple’s decision to round those edges definitely made a big difference to feel. But that older low refresh display tech annoyed me. Meanwhile, the Samsung galaxy fold was smooth and sexy and fast. If I leave Apple, it will be for a foldable.

It weighs less and has a shallower camera bump, both of which are features. But arguably they meant the best iPhone (regular) created.

I still can’t believe at the end of the day I’m left with 71% that’s crazy. The phone is so light hardly know it’s there. Amazing device.

The Plus is a great phone. I'm curious to see how much it sells. It seemed to have been a flop last year. I honestly wonder if Apple even needs it in their lineup. What's wrong with a big/small Pro and then just the 15?

The 15 Plus has a 2-week lead time for delivery and most Apple Stores are sold out. That should tell you it's pretty high in demand. The regular 15 is widely available for immediate pick up.

Yes same where I’m at. Hard to get.

I honestly cannot tell the difference between photos taken on iPhone 11, my iPhone 12 Pro Max and my new iPhone 15 Plus as someone just taking casual photos. It all looks the same (good!) to me so the camera was not a criteria for me. Its all about weight and battery life in my case

That could just be a function of lesser supply, especially since it didn't do well last year.

The 13 mini was never backordered, not on day one or a month later.

Does the 15 plus have the same glass and screen as the pro model?
