2. FAQ

You'll find all of this week's best iPhone 15 Plus deals rounded up into one page right here. There are some great options today if you're looking to save some cash on this device, which is positioned 'just right' between the entry-level iPhone 15 and the more premium 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.

As a quick overview, today's best iPhone 15 Plus deals include some stellar trade-in rebates that could see you save as much as $930 on your device. That's technically enough to cover the entire cost of a 128GB version, although the biggest rebates come via monthly bill credits - usually over the duration of a 24 or 36-month contract. If you want to skip out on the contract, we'd recommend picking up a device via Apple itself, which currently offers a trade-in discount of up to $650.

All in all, there are some great iPhone 15 Plus deals to consider today that can significantly cut your device's cost down to size - and it's well worth upgrading if you're eligible. With a refreshed design, a new Dynamic Island display, and a 48MP camera, the iPhone 15 Plus is a significant step up from the previous model in nearly every way.

You can check out more details on the device at the bottom of the page or head on over to our iPhone 15 Plus review for a full run-down.

Today's best iPhone 15 Plus deals

Apple iPhone 15 Plus: $750 off with a new line, plus $280 off iPad, and $120 off Apple Watch at Verizon

Apple iPhone 15 Plus: $750 off with a new line, plus $280 off iPad, and $120 off Apple Watch at Verizon
Verizon's current iPhone 15 Plus deal lets you skip the usual trade-in criteria that's commonplace with these  types of big-carrier promotions. You will, however, need a new line on one of the pricier Plus or Ultimate unlimited data plans to be eligible for the current discount of $750 off, so this is still not a cheap option. As a side bonus, you can also get $280 off an iPad and $120 off an Apple Watch right now as additional discounts, although again these deals are eligible with associated cellular lines only.

Apple iPhone 15 Plus: $700 off with a trade-in and unlimited data plan AT&T

Apple iPhone 15 Plus: $700 off with a trade-in and unlimited data plan AT&T
AT&T's toyed with non-trade-in promotions on the iPhone 15 Plus in recent months - with the device actually reaching $6 per month alongside an unlimited plan. Right now, however, you will need a trade-in to get a discount; current capped at $700 off over 36-months. In general, this is a pretty good saving and the trade-in criteria at AT&T also tends to be quite generous, meaning you can usually hand in a relatively older iPhone and still get the full amount off.

Apple iPhone 15 Plus: up to $650 off with a trade-in at Apple
If you're looking for an unlocked device, buying your iPhone 15 Plus via Apple is currently the only choice. Buying a device outright can be pretty damn pricey but luckily the Apple online store runs its own trade-in program that gets you a relatively good rebate on your device. The current maximum rebate is $650 but that's with an iPhone 14 Pro Max. If you're handing over an iPhone 14 Plus you'll be looking at a saving of $470 if it's in good working condition.

Apple iPhone 15 Plus: up to $830 off with a trade-in, plus $200 Verizon gift card at Best Buy
Best Buy's always offering good trade-in-focused iPhone 15 Plus deals, and this week is no exception. Right now, you can get an excellent discount of up to $830 off with a trade-in and plan right now as well as an additional $200 gift card if you switch over to Verizon. Annoyingly the gift card is exclusive to T-Mobile customers who switch to Verizon but the trade-in rebate also applies to AT&T here.

Is the iPhone 15 Plus worth upgrading to?

  • Inherits the A16 Bionic chip and 48MP camera from the 14 Pro
  • New Dynamic Island display
  • Refreshed design
  • USB-C port

With the iPhone 15 Plus, we arguably have a device that finally matches up to its more premium 'Pro' counterparts in the range. Apple has still stuck with its usual formula of trickling down the most premium specs to the standard models, but the upgrades to the iPhone 15 Plus are definitely more significant than with the previous iteration. 

For example, not only has the device had a refreshed design - the first significant revision since the iPhone 12 in 2020 - but it also loses the relatively large notch on the display in favor of the new 'Dynamic Island'. With these subtle changes, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus arguably no longer look like last-gen devices.

Internally, the device inherits the excellent A16 Bionic chipset and 48MP camera from the iPhone 14 Pro. While not a huge leap forward in regards to new features, both these specs still hold up great for 2023 and provide more than enough grunt to make the device a joy to use day-to-day.

You do, however, miss out on a few of the headline features from the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max if you go for the 15 Plus. For example, the Pro devices carry a slightly larger camera sensor, and in the case of the Max, a 5x optical zoom. The A17 Bionic Pro chipset inside is also super-charged for gaming performance and AI integration tasks like photo editing, voice transcription, and auto-correct. If performance in those types of tasks is important to you, then it could be worth considering going for one of the more premium devices.

Note that all the latest iPhone 15 devices now also include the ubiquitous USB-C port, which is handy. It's only the Pro models that utilize the quickest USB 3.0 data and charging speeds, however, with the iPhone 15 Plus supporting the older and slower USB 2.0 protocol.
