iPhone 14 or 15?

[Tech Reprise]

My usage is just a few banking app transactions and one or two calls daily. Currently using iPhone 11 but it has serious network and call drop issues when dual sim (esim+nano) is being used. I want to get another one like the 14/14+ or 15 128gb.

Which one should I get considering my use case scenario?

To be fair, if that's the only few things you do, something like a modern Samsung flagship might get you further for the same price. If you really want an iPhone, then I'd suggest what you find comfortable to use.

 

According to Apple Support, all three are supported if they are purchased outside of the US.

 

According to Apple, the iPhone 14+ lasts the longest in terms of video playback, at 26 hours (20 hours for the iPhone 14 and 15 respectively). However, it is much larger, which I don't think is necessary for your use case.

 

But, since you're using an iPhone 11, I'd suggest you get the iPhone 14, since it will save you some cost on replacing all of the lightning cables with USB-C.

Are them issues not from the SIM rather than the phone itself?

If you can hold out for a month, the iPhone 16 should be available then. It'll be faster and support Apple Intelligence (which won't work on the 14 or 15). You might also see a price drop on the 15 slightly ahead of that.

 

If you have to get something now, look for a deal on the iPhone 15 and go for that. It's more future-proof thanks to the USB-C port and support for modern Apple UI features like the Dynamic Island.

I'd go 15. If only for the shallow reason that I don't want to be stuck with lighting cables for another 4 years. On a less shallow note, it will have another year of updates over the 14.

Unless you already carry around a type-c charging cable, it might be worth going with a 14 simply because it uses lightning. I'm assuming you'll be carrying two phones in this scenario to separate the SIM cards?

Sim works fine in other phone plus it was recently replaced.

I will sell off the 11 on used marketplace and use esim+nano on the new device. I already have a oneplus for random shenanigans, just want an Apple for the more secure environment

I'd jump into the 15 then to move away from lightning. Its also the newest version which has its own advantages.

 

Without 'needing' the best camera, the non-pro version is simply better in my opinion. Making the chassis out of titanium is one of the most dumbest 'Apple' things that they've done in a while, given its dramatically worse heat transfer coefficient and lower heat capacity.
