While the iPhone 15 has previously been a good option for those looking for a large iPhone screen without spending big on the iPhone 16 Plus or Pro Max, that's no longer the case.

The best iPhone 15 Plus plan is currently coming from Optus, with Vodafone not stocking the previous generation 6.7-inch iPhone. That means the iPhone 15 Plus on Optus' cheapest plan will cost you AU$13 more per month than the best iPhone 16 Plus plan – just AU$7 cheaper than the best iPhone 16 Pro Max plan.

That makes grabbing the iPhone 15 Plus very difficult to recommend right now. You can explore all the best iPhone plans below, and explore the best offerings on the iPhone 15 Plus below, but buying outright from Amazon or The Good Guys. Might be the best option. You can pair it with one of our best SIM-only plans too.

Don't rush into a decision though. The major telco's plans are constantly changing, and we'll be sure to update this page when that happens. For now, you can see the best iPhone 15 Plus plans below.

With Vodafone out of stock of the iPhone 15 Plus – or just not offering it for some reason – the AU$52 Optus Choice Plus plan is the best iPhone 15 Plus plan on the market. Only AU$3p/m pricier than Vodafone's Small Plan, and AU$13p/m cheaper than Telstra's most affordable plan, you get AU$50GB of data and access to the fastest 5G mobile network to go with your new super-sized iPhone 15.

You can get anywhere from AU$50 up to AU$1,255 off the new iPhone 15 Plus by trading in an older iPhone with Apple. That is the caveat though – Apple only accepts other iPhones for its trade-in program. The final value of your trade-in device depends on the model and its condition, but you’ll get an estimated value before making the purchase.

What are the new features for the iPhone 15 Plus?

Similar to the iPhone 15, the iPhone 15 Plus has gotten a raft of upgrades this year: Dynamic Island, a USB-C charging port, a more powerful processor and a seriously beefed up main camera. We’d argue that these changes make this generation of Apple’s Plus phone much more appealing than the iPhone 14 Plus that came before it.

Dynamic Island was exclusive to last year’s Pro models, but now it’s available on both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. If you’re unfamiliar with Dynamic Island, it’s the pill-shaped cutout where the camera notch used to be at the top of the screen. It can expand to turn into a notification centre of sorts, allowing you to use Spotify, check your Uber, see incoming calls and much more.

We’re happy to report that while the 15 Plus has kept the straight sides that have been a mainstay for iPhones over the past few years, Apple has softened the edges to make them a little more rounded. We think that’s particularly good for an iPhone of this size, as its 6.7-inch screen should feel more comfortable in your hands for longer periods. And while we’re talking about design, RIP to the Lightning charging port. Apple has finally embraced USB-C.

iPhones have housed 12MP cameras for a long time, but this year, finally, Apple has given the iPhone 15 Plus a 48MP sensor – it’s about time. A bigger sensor should give you better shots in all environments, but you might notice the biggest difference when taking photos in low light. Apple is also promising improved portrait photography and better results when using 2x zoom.

You can get the new iPhone 15 Plus in pastel shades of pink, yellow, green and blue, and there’s also a black colour option for those who want something more neutral. Pricing for the iPhone 15 Plus starts at AU$1,649 for the model with 128GB of storage, moving up to AU$1,849 for the 256GB model, or AU$2,199 for the 512GB version.
