iphone 15 plus review by Neha Madhukar

I have been using the iPhone SE Gen 2 for the past 3 years, it was actually my first phone and honestly, it has been great, ever since I was little, I always wanted to have an iPhone with a home button and I almost bought the iPhone Xr over it and I'm glad I didn't.

my dad got the new iPhone 15 Pro and I got the iPhone 15 plus and I couldn't be more grateful. it has been so amazing, going from such a small screen with a 4.7-inch display to a 6.7-inch display was such a big difference. 
and I have really small hands so it is quite difficult for me to handle the 15 plus but nevertheless, the big screen is so worth it. 



some of the cons of the iPhone 15/15 plus are of course as we all know the 60hz refresh rate and the slow speed of the USB C. 2.0 speed capable of 480Mbps data transfer, now this isn't that much of a con as in an average iPhone base model user probably wouldn't care much. so it would not matter that much per se. my dad has the 15 pros and it has a 120hz display which Apple calls the "pro motion" display when you know how 120hz display is, the 60hz display seems choppier. otherwise, it actually does not really matter to me. this is the first time where the base model is actually pretty good, and some actual changes. 

the dynamic island. now everyone says this is kind of gimmicky, maybe it is,  nevertheless I still really like it and the fun little animations that play. it is pretty useful with apps like Uber and Ola, and it's pretty nice to have a timer for instance running in the background instead of always staying on the app. It works with both Spotify and Apple Music, and it is easier to switch between music instead of going into the app 
I'm not much of a tech enthu, although I may be getting into it. these are just some of the things I know and have noticed. 

coming to the colors, everyone has been saying that the colors are pretty dull and weak this time around, well yeah it is, but I actually kind of like it. the lightest color probably has to be blue, it seems white in certain lighting but I really liked it ever since I first saw the 15 line up, i knew it was the one I was going to get if I did buy it. but to me, it seemed like a beautiful ocean blue. the black is spectacular.  it looks premium. it looks like the colors from the pro phones. 

the battery life of the Plus phones are known to be pretty good and they certainly are. i dont really use my phone much every day so it does not drop below 70 percent for me 
I was thinking about getting the s23 fe or one of the z flip series, but again because of the Apple ecosystem and since I've gotten used to the ios, as my first phone was also an iPhone, the iPhone just seemed like a better option,  my dad got the pro and he traded his 12 to get that, I was supposed to get the 12 but well things turn out for the best. and that was my opinion and experience of the iPhone 15 plus after having it
