I have been making do with a 12 pro for some time now but considering a change and wondered if the newly launched iPhone 15 will be a big step up having skipped the last couple of years models. Any thoughts on this year’s model that was announced this week? https://www.apple.com/uk/iphone-15-pro/ Available to pre-order from 1pm today.

It’s so useful, I love it Oh how do you check the battery health of your iPhone? Maybe that feature isn’t on the 12 Pro.

I’m not definitely upgrading this year, just a consideration having not had a new phone in a while. I don’t anticipate iPhones will be radically different in the future unless some new breakthrough technology becomes available. I wonder how many years we will have 5G before that gets upgraded too.

I’ve got a 13 Max Pro and, short of any genuinely essential new development, I’ll be sticking with that until I start to think that my photos are significantly worse than Mr D’s - he upgrades every year near enough as part of one of those rental deals where as I just outright buy mine from apple and stick to a low cost sim only package.

I have a sneaking suspicion it might be because I wirelessly charge but I’m also just a super heavy phone user as well 😅 Yeah, I agree Dandy. It’s mostly the camera that really improves. I went from an 11 to a 14 Pro and really noticed the upgrade. My phone and plan are on separate contracts this time so I’m in a similar situation as you Dandy. I think I’ll probably upgrade to the 17 unless the 16 is super compelling. I’d hold onto this longer but I expect in 2 years time the battery will be total trash so won’t really have another choice

I know they’re mostly the same each year but the camera improvements are interesting and I’m shallow and love that new phone feeling.
