Forced by the situation (details below), I had to upgrade my phone and my choice this time was iPhone 15 Pro. But because I do not usually do a review exactly when I buy the product, sometimes I take my time and with this phone 5 months have passed. But all is good because now you have a long term review.
As a short recent history, I have used so far: iphone 3g, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5s, iPhone Xs.
But in my family, and also with my job, I had the chance to test and use also: iPhone 6s, iPhone SE, iPhone 12 mini. So I know my phones :)
If you upgrade yearly, you may not be very impressed (maybe about USB-C... will discuss it later) but because I am coming from iPhone Xs and there is a 5 years gap between, I have seen and learned many interesting things.
I believe I have covered everything important in this video but I failed to introduce one important question that most probably is on everybody's mind: Worth upgrading?
Well, it depends of what you have at this moment.
For example, switching from 14 pro to 15 pro will give you 19 grams less :)
Hold on to your iPhone 14 Pro because you will not get much more from this upgrade, unless you really need ray tracing (which I haven't seen much yet on tested games) and high speed USB-C (that is if you go with Pro because non-pro do not have 10gbps).
From older versions it really depends of what you want to do with the phone. I currently use Xs and I am very satisfied with it! I would not upgrade but I broke mine: face id is KO and have some issues with the display. But a perfectly working Xs is very good even today.
