It’s hard not to mention that at this point Dynamic island, that is, a dynamic field located at the upper edge of the screen, which replaced the indentation called the notch. The advantage of the new solution is the fact that the “dynamic island” changes its shape and size to adapt to the supported functions.

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus – almost the same, but different

We already know the specifications of both smartphones, but it’s worth mentioning A few words about the practical differences between these two smartphones. There are not many of them, and they are only caused by the difference in the size of both devices.

Apart from the dimensions and resulting size of the display and battery, the other elements of these smartphones are no different. As mentioned earlier, there are some practical aspects worth knowing.

First of all, the dimensions. The iPhone 15 Plus is longer and wider than the iPhone 15, so it won’t fit people with small hands. It is difficult to hold this smartphone in your hand and reach the upper edge of its screen, and this may significantly reduce the comfort of its use for people with small hands. Choice is an individual matter.

Secondly, the presentation. There are slight differences in resolution and number of pixels per inch of screen, but they are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, the practical advantage of a larger screen is that You can display the same amount of content at a larger size, or more content at the same size. The “With Plus” model will be useful, for example, for people with vision problems.

Apple advertises that the iPhone 15 can play video for 20 hours, and the iPhone 15 Plus for 26 hours. As is usually the case, the battery life declared by the manufacturer will not be completely consistent with reality, but the percentage difference must be taken into account, which in this case is 30%.
