Should I upgrade to iPhone 15 in 2025 or wait for 16…?

Hey everyone, what do you think? Should I upgrade my iPhone 13 to the 15? My phone works fine, but the battery doesn’t last all day, and I really want the Dynamic Island. Does it make sense to upgrade now, or should I wait for the 16 to drop in price?

Wait for the 16 price drop. I bought the regular 15 and kinda regret it since the Pro and Pro Max got cheaper fast. The 16 also has a better chip and more RAM, so you’d probably like that more .

Appreciate the advice, thanks .

Wait for the big sales this year and grab the 16 then.

When is that happening?

Sometime around September or October.

If you can hold off until the sales, go for the 16. But if you really need a phone now, the 15 is still solid.

Why upgrade from a 13 if it’s still in good shape? Just replace the battery or deal with it a little longer. At least wait until September.

The 15 is good, but Dynamic Island isn’t a big enough reason to upgrade from a 13. Same with the 16, especially for $1000. Just wait it out.

Thanks! My local store has a discount on the 15, so I could get it for $780. That’s why I’m thinking about upgrading.

How much storage?

128GB, the smallest one, but it’s enough for me .

@Abi
That seems pricey. I got mine for $750 in September with 512GB.

Same, I bought the 128GB in December for $570.

Exactly.

Why not just replace the battery and wait for the 16 to get cheaper?

I don’t have an Apple Store nearby, and replacing the battery is expensive and kind of a hassle. I’d rather just upgrade instead of dealing with that. Thanks for the advice though!

Even in 2027, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will still be a great phone.
