I don't think it's worth upgrading from iPhone 12 to 15. Maybe 16 or 17 might make a lot more sense.

You might change an Iphone 12 with 15 for battery range, the battery drains quickly on 12.

the 12 kept up very well at the start but then slowed down a bit i think the cpu is fine and thats not the slowdown because when you did 15 pro max vs 12 pro max no reloads and they were very similar its just the base 12 has 4gb ram and that's why its losing a bit the more apps you push

12 pro is better though with 6 gb ram

No reason to switch for a 15 from a 12 because of the battery when a battery swap for the 12 costs about less than 100$ and gives you a brand new performance vs 800$ for an iphone 15...

first off I want to start by saying I love your channel. With that being said I have a question and I'm hoping that maybe you could help me out. The iPhone 14 pro Max and Pros had the battery issues where they were degrading much faster then other models did. With that being said the new 15 and 15 plus have the same chip that was in the 14 Pro Models do you think that those models will have the same issues with the battery duration that the 14 Pro Models had or do you think maybe it was something going on with the phone and maybe Apple may have fixed it? I would love to know your thoughts on this.

[@percentage1749]

Did you ever find out

[@juliusb1231]

Hi! Do you prefer closing all recent apps always after using them or just leave them? Big help thanks!!

[@musicpro5010]

On IOS it is recommended that you leave the apps opened on the background since it takes less power to keep that app on RAM than making the CPU reopen and reload everything this saving battery. What I personally do is close all the apps before going to sleep since the phone still will refresh all apps again when opening them 8 9 hours later!

[@Raulcarazo88]

I am still happy with my iphone 12

[@asyraf2057]

yeah I just wondering to change to IP15, if there is no significant difference then not worthy to upgrade to new one. I just changed ip12 battery few months ago and it still works well till today. Looking forward for next Gen iphone.

[@s1_auds]

I watched this even though I am probably going to get another samsung. I only got an upgrade from an S8 to iPhone 12 as a change, as have always been an android user. I'd only upgrade to the 15/16 to experience the dynamic notch, otherwise there's never any changes. so i'd love to go back to Samsung.

Now days you can keep your phones 3 to 4 years and have a piece of mind that it will serve you well. Or buy older flagships and keep it 2 years or so and not have problems. Same cant be said to mid and budget phones though.

[@farisalhusain7079]

5-7 year

[@MurdahProduXtions]

My 11 is getting slower and less reliable. Thankfully I finished school this semester and will be applying for jobs. But the 11 served me well it was reliable and speedy. But now the apps reload more frequently and the ui stutters on occasion and apps don’t work as reliable as they used to but that’s to be expected with a 3-4 year old phone. The main issue for me is battery life. When this phone was brand new I could last a day and a half to two days on charge now I’m having to charge it daily to twice a day at times but overall it’s decent phone. I might upgrade to the 15 or hold out for another year

I can barely tell them apart… if you’re coming from 11,XR, x, &8 buying base model upgrades just buy the 12 til the 16 release or SE Refresh comes out. You aren’t missing anything at base model range. want “pro” ?! GET the 13 PROMAX. The 13& 14 have the same chip. The 13 pro max is the best battery hands down. I don’t care for usb c I have lightning everything 13 over 12 pro because 13 has 120 hz refresh rate. New base model should be 90 hz. 60 in 2024 paying minimum of $700. Give the average Joe a bone. 120hz again for pro and 90 hz for base 16 and base + & new se (14 refresh shell). Make it worth the upgrade.

The thing with iphones is that they only make sense every 3-5 gens. Apple decides to include just little features with every gen. 120Hz (13 Pro), Always-On Display, Dynamic Island (14/15 Pro). Every one of them was basically the only addition after 12. They add features just so slowly to be worth it. I'm on 12, and still see very little, reasonable reasons to upgrade. If the standard 15 would've included at least one of 120Hz or especially Always-On display, maybe it would've tempted me. Still nada.
