Detailed Product Description

Design and Built

Apple iPhone 15 Plus is built with a Glass front (Corning-made glass), glass back (Corning-made glass), and aluminum frame. The Aluminum design, Ceramic Shield front, and Color-infused glass back make it stand out as a premium smartphone in 2023. It measures 160.9 x 77.8 x 7.8 mm (6.33 x 3.06 x 0.31 in) and weighs 201g. notably, the 7.8mm thickness makes it one of the slimmest smartphones in 2023. However, it is slightly heavier than the iPhone 15, which weighs 171g. The phone is available in Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink.

SIM Card

The iPhone 15 Plus supports Nano-SIM and eSIM (International markets like Kenya). Depending on your network provider, these options are great for connectivity and communications, depending on the 3G, 4G, and 5G network strength.

Water and Dust Resistance

The handset is rated IP68 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes) under IEC standard 60529.

Display

It features a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with HDR10, Dolby Vision, 1000 nits (HBM), and 2000 nits (peak) brightness. The 6.7‑inch (diagonal) all-screen OLED display has a 2796‑by‑1290-pixel resolution at 460 ppi, which is impressive, going by smartphone standards on high-end handsets. Assuredly, you will have memorable, uncompromised, enjoyable moments as you immerse yourself in games such as Assassin’s Creed and stream your favorite videos.

A large, 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen with 2796 by 1290-pixel resolution and 2000 nits (peak) brightness is a dream come true to many Apple enthusiasts, and this could be your chance to seize the moment to have your lifetime experience. However, the default 60Hz refresh rate is a setback to an otherwise great display and unmatchable user experience.

The iPhone 15 Plus display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 6.69 inches diagonally (the actual viewable area is less). The 460ppi screen display is protected by Ceramic Shield glass, making it scratch and break-resistant. Thus, worrying less about minor falls and pressure on your premium iPhone 15 Plus would serve you best.
