    Base model 15 is $1130 here. Base model 14 (last gen) is $1000. Both before tax. At a time when millions are struggling to put food on their tables. And even assuming you could afford a new iPhone, it will be almost indistinguishable from older generations excluding a few software differences. Even the camera output is almost exactly the same among recent generations.

      Yeah the (lack of) difference in price between generations is ridiculous. I just bought a 13 after using my 8 for six years.

      The only difference between the 13 and 14 was once graphics core. So there was no way I was considering the 14.

      But the 15 has USB C, which don’t get me wrong is great, but when you have a ton of lightning cables will need to be replaced, doesn’t seem like such a good idea (especially when family members are still using phones with lightning).
