What is it?
Apple’s latest smartphone aimed purely at existing iPhone fans.
Good points?
First and foremost, the camera capabilities of the iPhone 15 Plus are impressive. With a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide lens, it captures detailed images with vibrant colours.
The inclusion of a 4x optical zoom and digital zoom up to 10x ensures that you can get up close to your subject without compromising on image quality. A Sapphire crystal lens cover adds durability and scratch resistance, ensuring your lens stays pristine.
In terms of design, the iPhone 15 Plus boasts a sleek and modern aesthetic. The incorporation of Haptic Touch provides intuitive feedback, enhancing the overall user experience.
The fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating ensures that the device stays smudge-free, maintaining its appearance over time.
The 6.1-inch OLED display of the iPhone 15 Plus is well constructed, with a Super Retina XDR panel delivering stunning contrast and true-to-life colours which is perfect for capturing precious moments.
Under the hood, the iPhone 15 Plus is powered by the A16 Bionic chip, boasting a 6-core CPU with 2 performance and 4 efficiency cores, along with a 5-core GPU. This powerhouse of a chipset ensures smooth performance and efficient multitasking, allowing you to tackle even the most demanding tasks with ease.
Bad points?
Unfortunately Apple have not produced much innovation in this incarnation but have instead opted for a tried and tested blueprint.
Best for ...
Those looking for an upgrade to their existing iPhone and don’t mind the heavy cost.
Avoid if ...
You want a smartphone that takes calls, takes adequate pictures and has internet connectivity. You’ll best better with an Android.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
