Still on the Fence

[bakron1]

I bought my 15 Pro Titanium model a week after the official release and so far it’s been perfect and zero issues. I have been on the fence about the new 16 Pro model, but I am not into AI and those who know me on iMore know I use my device mainly for emails, social media and most importantly, a phone.

I am retired and living on a fixed income the last few years, so any new purchase has to be value added for me these days. I have avoided going to the Apple Store to look at one in person because if I pick it up and start playing with one, I will end up buying it.

It sounds to me like your 15 Pro is ideal for you, I don't think there's anything to be gained from getting the 16 at this point .....
Keep it for another year and look at iPhone 17 next year is my advice.

Agree with everything @Pinkpoison said. Also, if there was some AI feature you did want, like the cleanup in photos, your iPhone 15 Pro would be able to do it the same as the new 16 line. I have a 15 PM and I am perfectly content to wait until the 17!

So far, I've had these iPhone models. 4, 5S, 7, SE and 13.

I've never felt the need to keep up with the latest and greatest. If a new one works for you, that's great, but don't get caught up in the hype. A phone is a commodity, like everything else. Why replace something that works perfectly?
