iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro to iPhone 18 "enough"? Or go for Pro?

Yes, I don’t disagree, even a 14 Pro would offer a similar experience to a 17 Pro for most users. This suggests the vast majority of people with a 17 Pro aren’t utilising its capabilities.

I play AAA games on my 17 Pro and, according to the benchmarks, the performance is around 40% better than a 15 Pro (which is the minimum specs for a AAA title).

When I am not playing games, which is like 95% of the time, I may as well be using a 15 Pro.

I personally have a soft spot for the 15 Pro, mainly because of its smaller size and nice feel in the hand. It was Apples first 3Nm iPhone with the A17 Pro, included ray tracing support and the Titanium frame is just beautiful. You are right about the performance of the 17 Pro, it is of course more powerful and sustains performance better with the vapour chamber and massive battery, but its just not as premium as the 15/16 Pro in my opinion.
