Exactly!!!It’s hilarious how they don’t put the iPhone 13 lineup in the comparaison. Must be not enough changes

You don’t want to become old and lonely crying alone in your new Ferrari???!!!
Apple, remember when people would line up for blocks to get the latest iPhone? It wasn't because a marketing page convinced them...
Product should speak for itself, the need should be obvious. If you need to explain it you've failed.

I used to upgrade yearly then they took the physical sim slot I need for work for literally no reason.
I’d buy a iPhone 16 Mini for sure.
I’m also on an XS Max and was surprised it wasn’t in the comparison tool. I’m still happy with it.
Just like money. It might not buy happiness but it does buy a better class of misery.
Take a vacation to Hong Kong ;-)
I genuinely wouldn't buy a phone without a physical SIM slot in 2024- I travel a lot, and too many places around the world haven't got with the times yet and don't have eSIMs. I'm glad my UK purchased 15PM has both.
Great, a decision - no more swithering about whether I should upgrade to 15 from my iPhone 12Pro - there is no signifiant difference other than battery life, speed and camera features - all of which I can do without and still be happy
My 12 pro with 86% battery capacity is doing just fine. Thanks though, Apple.
Well, I would think they would want to convince someone with a two and a half year old phone to upgrade (iPhone 13 owner) like they would’ve in the past, but I guess with what they have to offer, it’s a real hard sell so why bother.
The fact I have to download my Apple Music songs one by one is one reason not to update.
"Because we stopped innovating and kind of forgot we were supposed to be Apple so... moneys?"
Huh, marketing campaign trying to boost sales from Apple? Must be new bruh.
And here are two reasons to NOT upgrade. Beat the below 2 and we can talk.
1. No compelling reason. What I have is enough for me so why upgrade.
2. I can’t afford exorbitant prices you are asking for, even if I want to upgrade.
Apple, spend some time solve these problems, then you won’t need to beg users to upgrade.

Every iPhone should include 12 months of software updates upon activation, and then require an ongoing subscription for continued software support.
You could buy an iPhone 15 from New Zealand, Bahrain, Canada, Jordan, the UK, Japan, Austria, Brazil, South Korea, Ireland, Argentina, Singapore, the UAE, Italy, Peru, Sweden, Indonesia, Mexico, Australia, Israel, Germany, Vietnam, Poland, South Africa, Turkiye, Belgium, India, the Netherlands, Thailand, Portugal, the Philippines, Greece, etc. if you need a physical SIM card. In other words, any country around the globe where Apple sells iPhones other than the US!
😄🤣🙃
Back in February I upgraded… from a 6S Plus to an Apple Refurbished 13 Pro. First, I saw no real difference in the 15 Pro to cough up several hundred dollars more and two, I wanted to use my physical SIM card and that stopped being an option in the United States models with the 14 onward. The 13 Pro is fine and I hope to keep it for six years as I did with the 6S Plus. Probably replace it with a 19 when the 21’s are the current model.
There is a discussion on another board about this. Buying them from Canada where they still have both SIM card support and an eSIM. Problem is there is no warranty coverage for the device in the United States. You would have to bring it to Apple in Canada for warranty support. My solution was a 13 Pro. Supports both the SIM and eSIM like the Canadian 15.
Why is that weird? Isn’t it a good thing that people don’t feel the need to upgrade as often?
I don’t see the problem with this. There’s a whole world outside of these forums, and it’s full of people who have no clue what a “Super Retina XDR display” (for example) is. I’ve actually used this website to compare my mom’s old phone to the 15 for fun, just to see what she missed out on.
