What's the difference between the iPhone 15 Plus and the iPhone 15 Pro Max?

The iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max both use a 6.7" screen, but the Pro Max upgrades to a 120Hz ProMotion display, A17 Pro chip, 5x tetraprism optical zoom at 120mm, and a titanium frame. The Plus runs the A16 Bionic chip, has a 48MP main camera, USB-C, and Dynamic Island, with up to 26 hours of video playback. If you want a big-screen iPhone without the Pro price jump, the Plus is the smarter starting point.

Does the iPhone 15 Plus have USB-C?

Yes. The iPhone 15 Plus was Apple's first Plus model to ship with USB-C, replacing the Lightning connector entirely. You can charge with the same cable as your MacBook or iPad, and transfer files at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps). It also supports MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging, so you've got flexibility on how you power up.

Is the iPhone 15 Plus battery life really that good?

Yes, it genuinely is. The iPhone 15 Plus is rated for up to 26 hours of video playback, one of the highest battery ratings in Apple's lineup outside the Pro Max. Its larger chassis fits a 4,383 mAh battery, significantly bigger than the standard iPhone 15's 3,349 mAh. Real-world users consistently report getting through a full day and into a second. If battery anxiety is your main driver, the Plus is designed to fix that.

What does the Dynamic Island do on the iPhone 15 Plus?

The Dynamic Island is an interactive cutout at the top of the screen that replaces the static notch found on older iPhones. It expands to show live activity: timers, music controls, navigation prompts, and incoming calls — all without opening any app. On the iPhone 15 Plus, it's the same Dynamic Island found on Pro models, so you get the feature without paying Pro prices.

Absolutely amazing, I was very skeptical about buying from this website. I DO NOT regret it. Phone came with 87% battery life (very very good) especially for a refurbished phone. I will be buying another iPhone from them! Also real quick, when I opened the package and inspected the phone, it was in really good condition. No scratches or dents. Looked brand NEW! Thank you so much for the pristine iPhone 15 plus !!!!!!

I am pleased with my purchase. My phone came a day earlier than expected. I upgraded to this, from a iPhone 13. I’m enjoying the bigger display, the color. And the battery life came at 95% for this device. This was my very first back market purchase. And hopefully it wont be my last.

I bought this in condition fair, all i had was 2 small scratches on the side that were noticeable but weren’t bothersome or drastic to me at all. I am so happy with this phone so far and the quality and durability so far has been great. I hope it will stayy this good within a few weeks from now. But so far this phone is totally worth it! I took the risk of buying it in fair since im a little on a budget, but it was totally worth! 10/10. I also never bought from this company before and as a first time buyer i am completely satisfied! Also my battery health is at 86 which is good! I expected worse for the condition i got it in, but to my surprise, i got it in a good battery health!

I purposely picked a phone rated 'fair' for the lower price, but except for some very slight scratches on the outside edges which a case would cover anyway, this phone was in excellent condition. Very impressed with the condition, fast delivery and follow up. Would definitely use Back Market again and would recommend this to others.

I’m based in Jamaica but used a U.S. address for shipping. I was a bit nervous at first, but it was 100% worth it! The phone arrived in amazing condition honestly looks almost brand new, with a clear screen and no scratches. I even had to double-check because it didn’t seem like “Fair” condition at all with 99% battery health Definitely buying again go ahead and purchase, you won’t regret it!
