I need a new phone. This will be my first iPhone and I need help choosing. The 15 base and the 16e cost the same for me.

I like the different color options the 15 has.
The 16e only has black or white as an option, but is newer and has a better battery.

I just found out that both of them have only 60 Hz. My previous phone had 120 Hz. So now I am thinking about getting the 15 or 16 Pro (maybe refurbished ?), but its way more expensive and I read the battery on them is not that great?



So I'm kinda lost. I mainly want a good display, good battery and wanna keep the phone for a few years. I don't care about AI and I don't need the best cameras.

Anyone in the same boat? What would you choose?
