Apple iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15: Which one to get?

[@VibhorMittal]

2:20 Apple intelligence is not supported on iPhone 15. It is only available on iPhone 15 Pro series and iPhone 16/Pro series. This was the main reason apple gave same chipset to both iPhone 16 and Pro series this year, else they would've liked to use year old re-cycled chipset on iPhone 16, like they are doing for a few years now.

I had an iPhone 11 for 5 years now and it’s time for an upgrade. Usually I would buy the newest model because I want to keep my phone for as long as possible. However I prefer the look of the 15 (I always have a clear phone case and I like things to be pretty for that price lol). Any advice?

[@leenah2006]

Hey there! I’m not sure if you’ve made your decision yet, but I’m exactly in the same situation as you are. In my region, the price difference between the 16 and the 15 is just $133, so I decided to go with the 16. :) Honestly, I just wanted the newest one because I’ll be using it for 5+ years, and I didn’t want to have an older generation for the future. Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro looks so similar to the 15 if you want to buy the 16 but are unsure about the design! I hope this helps!

If I’d knew I would’ve kept my 13 pro until it wasn’t good enough anymore. Just a battery change perhaps.

As long there are fans supporting whatever Apple does. Apple will keep launching such mediocre products.

[@davidelliott1594]

If I may ask, what makes it a mediocre product? This base model has one of the strongest, fastest socs on the market, has very strong cameras and video, great battery life and a strong build, not to mention a multitude of security features. No smartphone company is revolutionizing the category with yearly releases, all yearly releases are iterative. In fact, since the S20, Samsung took away numerous features from the base S-line, including removing expandable storage, lowering screen resolution, lowering RAM, etc. and reserving those features for the highest end Samsung phones. Just because a company releases a new phone every year doesn't mean a person is supposed to buy a new phone every year. Every year a new car, a new TV, etc is released, and they will be very small improvements, if any, on a year to year basis. It doesn't mean a person should buy a new one every year, right?

A 15 would be plenty good just from the perspective of it being a major upgrade alone. I upgraded from an 8 Plus to a 15, didn’t care about the AI stuff or camera button plus I still like having the mute slider as well which for 15/15 Plus is the last of those models with it. So many added features over the years combined with easier layouts on even the most basic functions are worth upgrading to a 15 alone. Face ID is way faster than Touch ID, sometimes to a fault as far as unlocking the phone too fast if you don’t want to but it hasn’t been crazy annoying for me.
