Which iphone should I choose? 15 or 15 pro

[Mat23]

Hey everyone,

I'm seeking advice on whether to go for the standard iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Pro. I'm upgrading from an iPhone 11, so it's definitely time for an upgrade regardless. While I wouldn't classify myself as a heavy user, I do find myself spending a fair amount of time on my phone, and occasionally playing a game to pass the time. I like taking photos, and while I appreciate quality, I wouldn't consider myself a professional photographer, so I might not notice small differences in image quality.

Both phones appeal to me aesthetically, and I'm particularly drawn to the 120Hz display. I'm accustomed to monitors with refresh rates of 140Hz or higher, so the smoothness of a higher refresh rate appeals to me. However, I'm unsure if this alone justifies the extra cost.

What's most important to me is the future-proofing of the phone. I have a hunch that the iPhone 15 Pro might be more future-proof due to its A17 chip and 8GB of RAM, which could accommodate larger updates down the line.

So, which one would you recommend, and why? Also, do you think 128GB of storage would be sufficient for my needs? I don't constantly take pictures or videos, but I want enough space to comfortably store my data.
Thanks in advance

I tend to only buy the pro variations of iPhones. The pro version of last generation is generally pretty close but cheaper than non pro current generation.

I'd go with the Pro for the high refresh rate alone. Makes a massive difference, at least to me. 

 

As for storage, only you can really answer that. Look at the app sizes you use, the amount of additional space you need, and add a slight buffer. No one knows your usage better than you. 

 

I wouldn't worry about longevity. They'll both last about the same.

Alright, thanks for the answear

I think it would be a good idea to compare the different screens next to each other, but a higher refresh rate is always welcome.
In regards to storage that is true, and also I figured their is always icloud or other cloud services where I could store data.
