It should be noted that this A3094 iPhone 15 Plus supports 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n26, n28, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n53, n66, n70, n75, n76, n77, n78, and n79. It is not compatible with 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. This model is intended for carriers in most parts of the world—sold in at least 192 countries and territories—but it is not available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Saudi Arabia, China, and a few other countries. It is, however, technically compatible with carriers globally.


All iPhone 15 Plus models feature a 6.7-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch enabled "Super Retina XDR" display (2796x1290, 460 ppi) that occupies nearly the entire front of the device. It is equipped with three cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, located in the "Dynamic Island," supports Face ID, has an f/1.9 aperture, captures 12-megapixel photos, and records 4K video. The rear has a 4K-capable "advanced dual-camera system" with a 48-megapixel "Main" camera (f/1.6 aperture) and a 12-megapixel "Ultra Wide" camera (f/2.4 aperture, 120-degree field of view).


The iPhone 15 Plus has an aluminum case with a "contoured edge" and flat sides, along with a glass front and a "color-infused" glass back. The front is protected by a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability, while the back features an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It holds an IP68 rating for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to a maximum depth of 6 meters for 30 minutes). It is available in five color options: pale shades of Blue, Pink, Yellow, and Green, plus Black.


Inside, the iPhone 15 Plus is driven by a 3.5 GHz "Apple A16 Bionic" processor with a six-core CPU (two performance cores and four efficiency cores), a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It has 6 GB of RAM and is offered with 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of flash storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, "second generation" Ultra Wideband, NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve" for compatible transit systems, Crash Detection, Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance via satellite, a USB-C port, and both dual eSIMs and a single physical nano-SIM.


Apple's estimates for the iPhone 15 Plus battery life are up to 100 hours of audio playback, 26 hours of video playback, and 20 hours of streamed video playback.


Pricing differs by country, but in the UK, this specific iPhone 15 Plus was initially priced at £899, £999, and £1199 for the 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB models, respectively. It was also offered on a two-year financed contract for £37.45, £41.62, and £49.95 per month.


On September 9, 2024, Apple reduced the price to £799, £899, and £1099 for upfront payment, or £33.29, £37.45, and £45.79 per month, respectively, when financed over a two-year contract.
