    I have a 14 Pro, and the changes in the 15 Pro are tempting to me.

    I want USB-C, I want the lighter titanium, I want the rounded edges, I want the new camera effects, I want to try the new case options, etc.

    Anyone coming from an older phone would find a LOT to look forward to in the iPhone 15 or 15 Pro.

    It sounds like your life is pretty sweet in order to be underwhelmed by a magic $800-$1000 device.

      You’d drop a $1000 for usb-c, round edges, new camera software and case options?

      Are you rich?

      I’m not saying that it’s a bad phone, but presumably your current phone works just fine, which means you think those features are worth $250 each. I personally think I could use that money for better things elsewhere.

        You do know that Apple gives pretty damn solid trade ins right?

        If you have a 14 pro and want to upgrade to a 15 pro, you get $570 for your 14 if it’s in good shape. So a 15 pro is only $429.

        If you really enjoy having the latest and greatest, it’s not that hard to put away $35 a month towards upgrading.
