And I was wonder
Why not buying a refinished 13P instead?
It feels really the same, and not justified the extra cash
What do you think?

I went from 13PM to 15P and it feels completely different.
Much better design, better specs, snappier, better camera, usb-c and the list continues

I do not recommend refubs, if You want to save some money go 14p but keep in mind that lightning propably start extincting in max 2 years I think

That doesn't mean you won't be able to buy cables for years and years in the future. You can still buy 30-pin cables on Amazon.

My wife just upgraded from 12 Pro to 15 Pro. I feel the upgrade is decent to justify it, but when I compared to my 13 Pro, I feel far less compelled to upgrade. Yes, it is your typical spec bump, of course things will be slightly better, but I feel the changes are soo incremental, that upgrading from 13 Pro to 15 Pro might feel like waste of money for many.
Sure, some might be swearing by USB-C, new slightly improved design etc, but if none of these matter or seem important to you, then I would save the money and keep the existing phone or pick an older iPhone model on sale.
 
This has been discussed 1,126 times....not just apple but other manufactures as well. The upgrades are relatively small now a days. Their job is to make money and sale products. Why give you a full fletch phone when they can do that in 2-3 generations?
