        Got an Xs, definitely due an upgrade regardless of the tech improvements.
        Not a sucker to upgrade every 1-2 years, this has been a long stretch but the Xs has had a good spell.

          If I want to buy iPhone 15, I'll buy. I don't get influenced by some people opinions. I'll let my money do all the talked. Same goes for the 15 Pro. I ain't gonna let other to decide what I want in my life. It's your life, you control it. Not by others.
          🙄

            "Don't buy the Apple iPhone 15" don't worry. I won't buy 15 or 15 plus or 15 pro or 15 pro max...

              Anonymous, 13 Sep 2023I want to believe this Article justifying $200 price differ... moreNo way apple will pay them to makea negative review! Apple want to control the narrative so tightly they even turn of comments on their YouTube videos so you can't put negative comments! They don't even allow bad guys in movies to use an iPhone!
              This is a great opinion piece, even tech enthusiasts like GSM arena find the 15 poor.

                Kudos to gamarena for this bold, ruthless, fearless article! One of the best in last 15 years!!! It’s never late to come out with an opinion after a prominent launch event, let alone an apple event. I had a feeling something is cooking when i saw there was no iPhone 15 article after yesterday’s launch.
                Being an iPhone 12 user, every iPhone launched later brought immense happiness and satisfaction for me. Literally, apple has lost the innovation key, now it’s evident for the loyal apple fans that they are taking their patience for granted.
                Good for android and innovation.

                  I've never used an iPhone before and here's why I'm definitely buying and switching to the iPhone 15:

                  1. It's the cheapest iPhone with USB-C.
                  2. It received Apple A16, same as the 14 Pro, which is the first to use LPDDR5 RAM.
                  3. Dynamic island in place of notch means you get a more enduring design.
                  4. Same 48MP camera as the 15 Pro, and a free 2x optical zoom.

                    I want to believe this Article justifying $200 price difference for the 15 Pro but this obviously blunt headline(unusual for gsmarena) and the tone of article feels sus like its Paid Article by Apple to make people spend more and buy their Pro model showing the base model not worth, maybe it may work for US but in India the price difference is much between 15(₹79,990 - $950) & 15 Pro(134,990 - $1600) so here people will go for the base and the previous year models and this 15 model will also get much cheaper in Sales for 50k-60k. But I think Apple should not go for this type of works of extracting as much money as possible from their users or fans, its not good.

                            invincisst, 13 Sep 2023Makes sense for guys in the US where the 15 Pro is only $20... morewas gonna say the same thing in the US the price difference between base and pro max is around 400$ but here in India it's outright double. In Republic day sale this year Iphonec14 plus came as low as 70k INR i.e 850$ which launched at 90k INR (1100$) so it makes a lot of sense to just buy the regular 15 or 15+ after 2-3 months instead of the pro or pro max which are overpriced here.

                              I currently have the 14 pro but as it has some resell value and I want something new, I want to get rid of it. But I don’t want a large 15 pro plus and the 15 pro is too small of a step up for the money. First time I feel disappointed actually. Then over to Android, a phone with a clean GUI which resell value will be low after a year (TCO higher than the €1,25 per day of the iPhone)?

                                at this point, you can tell all their Baseline models are decoys made so they can empty their supplies to have space for better components for their Pro Models.

                                    I bet iPhone 16 next year Apple is gonna use A17 (Not A17 Pro found in Pro this year) with less GPU Cores or some other capability.
                                    This is the only logical explanation of Naming this year's chip A17 Pro not just naming it A17 like previous ones,despite modest gains in Performance.
