Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Apple iPhone 15 Plus
Our Verdict: The iPhone 15 Plus is four years newer than the iPhone 11 Pro, and it shows in the specs. The 15 Plus 5G has a far higher-resolution main camera, 48MP against the 11 Pro's 12MP, and only the 15 Plus 5G is a 5G phone; the 11 Pro maxes out at 4G. The 15 Plus 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 4383mAh against 3046mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the 15 Plus 5G has the bigger screen, 6.7" against 5.8". The 15 Plus 5G is the better phone; upgrade from the 11 Pro if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.
Buying outright, the 11 Pro starts at £139 SIM-free.
