Other iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro

[Jglez]

Hey everyone,

I’ve had my iPhone 13 Pro 1TB since its release in September 2021, and I’ve been really happy with it. I haven’t felt the need to upgrade to the newer models since there haven’t been significant changes, in my view.

Recently, I took my iPhone 13 Pro to the Apple Store in Berlin to replace the battery, as battery health was at 71%, but they accidentally damaged a button. Now, they’re giving me a brand new iPhone 13 Pro 1TB as a replacement, free of charge.

Since a “new” iPhone 13 Pro 1TB can be sold for around 900€, and a new iPhone 15 Pro 128GB costs around 1000€, should I trade in the 13 Pro 1TB for the 15 Pro? I don’t really need the 1TB of storage.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

You may as well I suppose. But they're both good phones so I don't think there's really a wrong answer. The biggest differences would probably be the always on display, the Dynamic Island and USB-C.

Big difference in Camera too. As long as you’re absolutely sure having a 128GB phone won’t cause problems… yeah, well worth €100

There’s a 15 pro and 13 pro in my house, there’s really no difference in camera. Maybe if you’re pulling into RAW editing programs but for day to day family pics etc he won’t notice a thing.

OP - after the newness has worn off it’s almost the exact same experience except you’ll have tremendously less space. I don’t know if it’s worth it.

I was thinking of Pro Max; you’re right about the Pro being pretty similar.

Still, I’d say it’s worth €100 for the improvements they would get, and to get a new phone warranty.

Definitely worth €100 IMO.

What will the 15 pro give you you don't already have on the 13 pro?

100 bucks is a 100 bucks you maybe don't need to spend!

Went from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro. Waaaaay better camera, much brighter screen which turns out to be actually quite useful and USB-C.

You've been using it since September 2021 and you have 1TB storage... So how much of 1TB storage have you used?

Do you have iCloud backup or store items in iCloud which made you say you don't need 1TB of storage?

If you did not need that much storage, why do you have the 1TB model?
