You need an iPhone 15, but if you do have an iPhone 15 model, see this --> Charge and connect with the USB-C connector on your iPhone 15 - Apple Support

"You can use your iPhone to charge your AirPods, Apple Watch, or another small device that supports USB Power Delivery at up to 4.5 watts."

That is correct. Since a lightening iPhone does support USB Power Delivery it can be charged using a 15 series. I mentioned that I am currently charging a 13 with my 15 Pro Max

You cannot charge your iPhone 15 Plus with your iPhone 11.


The iPhone 15 Plus is able to either accept power (when you're charging it), or to provide power. The iPhone 11 is only able to accept power.


So you might be able to charge your iPhone 11 with your iPhone 15 Plus – but not the other way around.
