I agree. Unless one is heavily into photography, video recording or gaming, the regular 15 is the one to get. Pretty decent upgrades compared to the regular 14.

So, roughly 600 million iPhones out there over four years old. iPhone 15 line looks like a pretty good upgrade in that context :) I feel like I repeat myself every year when I remind people of this. Very few upgrade every year. The vast majority every 3-4 years.

That certainly is a joke, as the 13 Pro doesn’t support the 2000 nits outdoor brightness as you claim.
Your screen is dimming from its normal max of 1000 nits to about 75% of max brightness because it’s overheating, which could be caused by a number of things such as being exposed to direct, intense sunlight for an extended period, fast charging, and other factors.
Def the best YoY upgrade for the non pro phones perhaps ever. But I disagree with your assessment. Even for an “average” user, the promotion and AoD features are very difficult to give up. Using a 60 hz iphone after a promotion one feels like it’s almost broken.
Are you meaning you think the 16 series will be a more significant update? A “modest” update means a small, insignificant one.
Definitely understand your point regarding ProMotion. Display analyst Ross Young has a stellar record with respect to predicting Apple's display roadmap. He's very confident ProMotion is coming to non-Pro iPhones in 2025.

Apple to go all LTPO in 2025, even base models to get 120Hz refresh, finally. https://t.co/n0ivg08pde

iPhone 15 is a good iPhone with USB C. But not so many new features to upgrade from 14
Wondering how many people came to iPhone knowing they always had the ability to look at the silence rocker and know if the phone was on silent without touching it are now going to miss it if upgrading. Or how many people remember when Apple used SCSI driver interfaces and other premium components in its desktops because of them being technically better (at the time) when others used off the shelf IDE or sound cards. If you fall into either of these two groups, you might not care/agree with the push to force Apple to use USB-C because competitors use it.
That would be very exciting if it happens! I’m sure I will always get the pro model because I always want to have all the latest features, but that will be great news for a lot of users.
