Heya @knotty path @fiery rain

i have 3 options

[knotty path]

Yup

[limpid kelp]

13, 14, 15

[fiery rain]

I'd recommend:

• iPhone 15
• iPhone 16e
• iPhone 16
  Avoid:
• iPhone 12
• iPhone 14
  Need more considering:
• iPhone 13
• Refurbished Pro iPhone's

[limpid kelp]

so if the 13 is actually worth it in 2025 so

[crude stag]

What is your budget?

[knotty path]

15 is il ladvised because of futureproofing reasons

[limpid kelp]

iPhone 15

[fiery rain]

Anyway I need to know about your need
Do you need tools like generating images and text summarizing?

[hardy zodiac]

I would not recommend the 15.

[limpid kelp]

nope

[fiery rain]

I will, in some case

[limpid kelp]

camera

[hardy zodiac]

Have you considered a 15 Pro or 16e?

[limpid kelp]

longer os update

[knotty path]

Summon @meager glacier

[fiery rain]

In that case do you really need an ultra-wide camera and good portrait capturing?

[limpid kelp]

telephoto and macro

[fiery rain]

iPhone 16 then

[knotty path]

15 pro is your best bet

Should be found reasonably cheap rn

[hardy zodiac]

You should consider the iPhone 15 Pro.

[limpid kelp]

the budget is on the base 15 yo

[limpid kelp]

ye looking forward if the price drops

[knotty path]

Nothing in the refurbished store atm

[crude stag]

so you have $700?

[hardy zodiac]

You might be able to find the 15 Pro refurbished for not much more than a 16e.

[fiery rain]

Might be good but consider overheating issue

[limpid kelp]

even in normal use?

[fiery rain]

I suppose so

[knotty path]

Unless he’s planning to game 24/7 it shouldn’t be an issue

[limpid kelp]

then nah

[fiery rain]

Anyway small tip: If you're considering the 14, get the 13 or 15 instead

[hardy zodiac]

In normal use it doesn't get hot, but when under load it definitely gets warmer. So unless your gaming or doing intensive tasks, thermals are a non issue with 15 Pro

[limpid kelp]

wht abt if i do 2 hr call

non stop

[knotty path]

Nah it’ll be fine

[limpid kelp]

or prolly discord call + other tasts

tasks*

[fiery rain]

wow

[knotty path]

As I said, should be fine

And it has all the cameras u want

[fiery rain]

Anyway yes. The iPhone 15 Pro refurbished should be a good choice

[hardy zodiac]

Your phone should not get warm doing that.

[hardy zodiac]

I wouldn't buy it new unless you're willing to pay $850

[crude stag]

Refurb 15 pro is the way

[fiery rain]

Get it on Apple Store refurbished. It's like a brand new phone, you get the unboxing experience. Just a drawback is that it has been previously used by someone you don't know

[knotty path]

Yeah at this price point you would consider a regular 16

[crude stag]

it's not on apple refurb now as far as I can see

[knotty path]

I wouldn’t consider unboxing experience as a major factor

It’s nice, but not that important

[limpid kelp]

not in stock

[limpid kelp]

is there any good other thord party refurb store online

[crude stag]

from where are you? the us?

[fiery rain]

Hell nah that's crazy

[limpid kelp]

IN

[knotty path]

Because of apple intelligence all of those are now obsolete

At this price point you should get the 16

800 bucks

[fiery rain]

plug.tech I guess

[hardy zodiac]

Yeah. The 15 Pro is worth $600-700.

[fiery rain]

I mean he probably doesn't care about Apple Intelligence
Even if you guys are saying we're gonna need it at some point, actually not for parts of the users

[limpid kelp]

ok guys guys

[knotty path]

But 8gb of ram + longer support isn’t unimportant

[limpid kelp]

if i had to choose between 13 or 15

[knotty path]

Then 15

[crude stag]

15

[limpid kelp]

ok 15 it is

[knotty path]

But do consider what we told u

Can’t stretch your budget to 16?

[crude stag]

or refurb 15 pro

[limpid kelp]

nope

[hardy zodiac]

I would consider the refurb 15 Pro if you can afford it! It's a lot better than the base 15, which is already lacking a lot of stuff.

[hardy zodiac]

What is your budget?

[limpid kelp]

my phone just broke yesterday and i need it quick

[fiery rain]

Actually 8GB is more than enough
About longer support, I'm not sure. But at this point the 15 is already so so powerful

[limpid kelp]

idk but the budget is 15 base model

[crude stag]

so $700 ig

[knotty path]

15 doesn’t get 8 GB of ram, let’s start with that

[hardy zodiac]

So like $700? Might as well get a refurbished 15 Pro.

[hardy zodiac]

So like $700? Might as well get a refurbished 15 Pro.

[limpid kelp]

i can

[knotty path]

Then get it

Best bet

[limpid kelp]

but its not in apple refurb rn

[hardy zodiac]

I would recommend getting the refurbished 15 Pro

[knotty path]

Do you need it like right now?

[limpid kelp]

now rn rn

not*

[knotty path]

Hmmm

Ah

[limpid kelp]

but like after a few weeks

1 or 2

[hardy zodiac]

There are other places like amazon or, as someone else said, plug.tech.

[knotty path]

Then perhaps wait for 15 pro to appear

[crude stag]

that could take a while

[limpid kelp]

who knows when does it drop in the refurb

[fiery rain]

It’s still very powerful with 6GB. Who as an average user would ever use more than that?
I can tell from my experience as an iPhone 15 user

[knotty path]

https://refurb-tracker.com/

Use this

To monitor ur refurbished store

[fiery rain]

plug.tech would be better
Amazon is too risky

[limpid kelp]

exactly

[limpid kelp]

india is not in the list

[knotty path]

Moms and grandpas who can’t close apps

[fiery rain]

plug.tech also ship internationally with acceptable price
Amazon’s shipping fee to some countries is even more expensive than the product itself

[knotty path]

Oh that sucks

[fiery rain]

Not a problem. The apps just freezes and take up no memory
Unless you’re an extensive multitasker

[limpid kelp]

wait this is actually good

[fiery rain]

You can get it

[hardy zodiac]

That's for 1TB, so I think that's a fair price.

[crude stag]

that's great

[fiery rain]

But 1TB with that price is too good. Might it be a scam?

[knotty path]

1 tb is probably excessive but if it’s there….

[crude stag]

From what website is it?

[limpid kelp]

plug tech

[hardy zodiac]

depends on the currency he's using

[crude stag]

that's dollars

[hardy zodiac]

Still a good price.

[limpid kelp]

ok

[knotty path]

Damn that’s a sweet deal

Assuming the store can be trusted

[limpid kelp]

does it do international posting

[fiery rain]

I don’t recommend the Pro Max if you’re an average user but hey that’s the best deal

[fiery rain]

Yes

For a not so expensive price

[knotty path]

Why not

[crude stag]

strange that this one says its original price is 1100 and the one with 1tb says the original price is 1000

[knotty path]

It benefits in all departments

[fiery rain]

It’s kinda too “Pro” and it feels uncomfortable in the hand

[knotty path]

To each their own, I like the bigger size

[crude stag]

ow wait it's pro max

[limpid kelp]

thx i just realized

[knotty path]

Almost too good of a deal

[knotty path]

Yeah, a good deal and not obsolete

[hardy zodiac]

$700 is a pretty good price for that.

[limpid kelp]

for 750 dollars

alr thx guys

15 pro ig

[fiery rain]

Get it

[frigid girder]

this is taking so much time

😔

[knotty path]

Yes

You gotta watch it closely

[fiery rain]

so why are you guys reviving a thread that’s been dead for like more than holy 4 months
