iPhone 15 Plus Repair

Apple's iPhone 15 Plus was announced on September 12th, 2023, and released the week after on September 22nd. It features a 6.7" OLED, inherits the Dynamic Island and the A16 Bionic SoC from 2022's iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, and features an improved dual-camera system with a 48 MP Main camera and a 12 MP Ultra Wide camera. It follows 2022's revival of the "Plus" model, providing the larger Pro Max form factor below Pro Max prices.

Notably, the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max are the first iPhones to ship with USB-C—marking only the second time Apple has switched ports on its iPhones, the first being the iPhone 5's switch to Lightning from the 30-pin connector in 2012. However, the non-Pro 15 and 15 Plus models only support USB 2 speeds—the same as outgoing Lightning.

The iPhone 15 Plus is priced $100 above the regular iPhone 15 at $899 for a 128 GB model, available in one of five colors: Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, or Pink.

You can identify the iPhone 15 Plus by the one of the following model numbers printed on the inside back of the USB-C (charge) port. Flip the iPhone over (with the screen facing away from you) to see it.

• A2847
• A3093
• A3094
• A3096

You can also find the model number through the phone's UI by going to the Settings app and navigating to General > About. Tap on the number listed in the Model Number section and it should change to a format that looks like the numbers above.

Additionally, Apple offers a quick online tool to help identify your devices: Identify your iPhone model.

The iPhone 15 Plus features a 6.7-inch (diagonal) flat glass screen, thin black bezels, a pill-shaped, black "dynamic island" at the top of the screen, matte back glass, and colored aluminum side rails.

Volume controls and the ring/silent switch can be found on the left edge while the power button is situated on the right. A square camera "bump" containing two cameras protrudes from the back case. This model has no home button.

The iPhone 15 Plus can be differentiated from the iPhone 15 Pro Max by its colorful aluminum design and dual-camera array (relative to the more muted metal finishes and triple-camera array of the Pro Max, respectively).

The iPhone 15 Plus can be differentiated from the previous generation iPhone 14 Plus by its USB-C charging port and Dynamic Island.
