Apple iPhone 15 Plus vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro
Our Verdict: The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Plus came out side by side, the Plus 5G as the top model and the Pro 5G as the more basic one. The Plus 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 4383mAh against 3274mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the Pro 5G offers up to 1TB of storage versus 512GB on the Plus 5G. The Plus 5G has the bigger screen, 6.7" against 6.1", and the Pro 5G is the lighter phone at 187g against 201g. Get the Plus 5G if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Pro 5G covers the basics for less.
On price there's almost nothing between them: both work out around £818 over a full contract.
