title. I need a new phone and I'm trying to decide between iPhone 14 Pro (999 euro), iPhone 15 (949 euro) and iPhone 15 Pro (1199 euro). Which one them is the best value for the price?

How long are you planning on holding it? If multiple years then go for the 15

[–] SnackeyG1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’d do it for the button instead of switch and obviously for USB-C

I got the iPhone 14 plus in March. There was no charger in the box,The higher powered charging block cost me $18 dollars. An extra lighting car charger cost another $20. The 15 uses a standard USB C, which is the best feature so far. Being so slick and slippery, I bought a protective case as all the glass looked fragile. With a case, nobody will know the make and model of my phone so design was not a factor.

Regarding the standard answers like USB-C and faster processing power, I think both are more or less irrelevant in daily use.

What I think might be quite convenient is the action button (which you can heavily customize with some third party solutions) and foremost the fact, that you can now shoot now Live Photos and portrait mode at the same time, whilst you have to decide that beforehand on the 14 Pro, which seems minor, but for me it is a game changer I always waited for. One feature I like as well is the possibility to charge only up to 80% for battery health reasons

Other than that, the 14 Pro is on par and will be for the next 4-5 years without any issues

Get the iPhone 15. It has the same 48MP main sensor as the iPhone 14 Pro but images are 24MP instead of 12MP in the 14 Pro. You will miss a 3x telephoto camera so if you think that is important for you go for the iPhone 14 Pro
iPhone 15 also gets USB type C although USB 2.0 speeds but yeah less cables to carry around
iPhone 15 Pro for 250 euros more gets you a titanium frame which most people don't need and that's about it
So imo the best bet will be the iPhone 15

you can disagree with me

and that’s about it

The 120Hz display is too big of a detail to leave unconsidered.

Not unless you really love the new curved edges. Which are honestly huge in my opinion lol!

But you can definitely get on with the 14 Pro no problem!

[–] GloomspiteGit@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yes I thought so. iPhone 14 pro is too expensive for a phone that’s one year old.

[–] MeddlinQ@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yes. USB-C and the Apple LOG is completely amazing.
