If I were you, I would know a lot more about what you want in a phone and would be able to answer that question. What do you want in a phone? Basic phone with ok specs and holds a charge better than your old 8? 13 is fine. Want the newest phone with the better everything? Then obviously the newer one with better everything.

Whats the price difference between the two for you

Yes.

If you don’t need the 3rd camera or 120hz I’d advocate for getting the 15plus. Bigger battery and larger screen in a phone similar in size to your 8plus

Very subjective but coming from the 11 pro, for me it was worth it.

I had had an iPhone X before and I was also deciding between the 13 and 15 pro. Took the 15 pro anyway since it had USB-C

biased but yes it is. 13 pro still a good recommendation if you’re on a budget. No budget limit? Get a 14 pro or 15 pro

I’d just go for the newest so you are good for another 5 years+.

Go new or don’t go at all. 15promax

I am very happy with my 15 Plus, I don’t miss the resolution and the camera and battery are excellent

i went from X to 15, it’s great and worth the money if you don’t plan on upgrading. I hate upgrading but can no relax as i will have at least 5 years before i even need to think about getting a new phone.

Since you have an 8 it seems like you hold onto your phones for a long time. If that is accurate I would suggest a 15pro as that will get you the most longevity out of your next phone.

Iphone 15 pro max. Because bigger battery and 5x zoom instead of 3x and bigger screen.

I just moved from the 12 pro max to the 15 pro max. It’s not life changing but the camera is great and the phone overall is good. Not sure what they’re holding back from us for the 16/17 but even the usb c cable charge is nice as my game controllers and AirPod pros are the now all the same.

Latest and greatest once your upgrading form a 8
