Apple iPhone 14 Plus vs Apple iPhone 15
Our Verdict: The iPhone 15 replaced the iPhone 14 Plus after a year, and not a lot changed between them. The 15 5G leads on camera hardware with a 48MP main sensor to the 14 Plus 5G's 12MP, and the 14 Plus 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 4325mAh against 3349mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The 14 Plus 5G has the bigger screen, 6.7" against 6.1", and the 15 5G is the lighter phone at 171g against 203g. Get the 15 5G if you want the newer hardware; if not, the 14 Plus 5G is usually cheaper and does much the same job.
Buying outright, the 14 Plus 5G starts at £240 SIM-free.
