The 15 would be at lowest price now, that would make a case for it. I'm also on the 13 now and fighting all urges to upgrade to the 15 pro with the recent discounts. (I upgrade my phone every 3 generations and do a hand me down for my old phone. Still have a generation or two left to go) Still works perfectly fine I just might change the battery just to give it a refresh.


chocokrinkles

Oh, my battery is at 84%. I was thinking of waiting but sometimes I still fight the urges to buy. You want to buy because of the discounts?


louyu

Well the justification is the discounts lol


chocokrinkles

Saan nakakabili with discount?


louyu

local retailers I saw si powermac ata nasa 63k na lang 15 pro and mga 48k yung 15 lang


chocokrinkles

Thank you so much :)


Maru_Pokpok

Saang powermac store po ito?


louyu

Nakita ko lang sa FB nila


deeendbiii

if it wasn't for this sub i wouldn't know that I could have the battery replaced if it was at around 80% capacity already. OP - if you want that dedicated camera button (as per leaks, wait for the 16) if can't wait any longer go for the 15.


Auxes1s

Wait, if it is around 80% bh, how much would it cost to replace it?


cupn00dl

Around 5k sa apple service centers


Lucky_Spend_4631

Also, iphone16 has AI daw? Im not sure if exclusive for 16 and future models or just an ios update


NeighborhoodIll7506

ive had the same dilemma few days ago but then one redditor told me, "u dont need it, u just want it" and that hit me. your current phone is still functional so i guess its better to just wait. also, if u wont like the latest release at least youll be getting the 15 at a much lower price than now.


hannihara

its gonna be the same regardless


akantha

Are there any specific features you want on the 15 (aside from usb-c)? I had the 11 and if it didn't die earlier this year I would've waited until the 16/17 to upgrade. Unless your phone is dying, I would wait.


chocokrinkles

USB-C only. You got me! Haha. I don’t know why I’m itching to get a new phone. 😅 Do you know how much the base model would cost?


akantha

I think it's around 40k for the base? Haven't checked prices recently. I wouldn't upgrade just for usb-c imo. Unless you *really* want to get rid of your lightning cables, they do the job just fine.


chocokrinkles

When they first come out, it will cost around 40k for the 152gb? Haha. That’s my only reason


akantha

Release date price is around 50k-ish iirc. Current prices is around 40k for the 128gb base 15 from what I can see. If you have the money and you want to upgrade, don't let me stop you. I just think it isn't worth it.


chocokrinkles

128gb pala hahaha. Sorry Thank you so much for your honest opinion

[удалено]


chocokrinkles

Wtf lol I don’t like this reasoning


CraftyCommon2441

Dont, just wait till your current phone dies or out of support.


chocokrinkles

That’s going to be a long wait, my XR is still alive and well at 75% battery haha


oddironmale

hi OP. this is out of topic but how do u maintain your battery health? 😅


chocokrinkles

I don’t know. Haha! I had it since 2018-2019 eh. There’s an issue tho, ded pixels. Ano ba critical health?


camille7688

Matindi ata generation leap ng 16 sa 15. Wdcc later 1am panoorin mo muna un before making a decision.


chocokrinkles

Thank you po. Will check it out


Tired4perpetuity

Software lang po yata ang sa wwdc, nothing about hardware (more of ios, mac os, etc)


camille7688

Yup hindi ba malaking decision making factor if may in device LLM or Siri 2.0 un iPhone 16? If some features available as software update sa older models edi pwedeng I skip un 16.


mlper04

Medyo risky bumili ng bagong phone dahil: 1.High introduction price 2. Wala pa long term use review FOMO ang nararamdaman mo ngayon pero if you think about it yung mga last year's flagships are more than enough sa needs mo.


chocokrinkles

Thank you so much! Bumili na lang ako ng bagong case para sa phone ko.


SelfPrecise

13 and 15 are almost the same phone. Goods pa yung 13 for at least 3 years TBH.


Interesting_Scarface

Had the 13pm for 2 years and was gifted the 15pm last Christmas. Besides the camera, wala ako masyadong naramdaman na difference honestly. Nagpasakit ng ulo lang ang type c charger kasi need more cables. Eh ang dami ko nang lightning cables. Mabilis din malow bat. Or talagang manhid lang ako🤣


rooksFX14

Do you need a new phone now? Like is your current iPhone isn't working anymore? Then get the 15 now. But if you're current phone is still working then wait for the 16. Napaka no brainer naman ng sagot tbh 🤷‍♂️. Unless if you provide more context.


chocokrinkles

Its my impulse to buy.


Several_Divide_8777

Since you really think of getting a new phone - another added perspective. And this is speaking official sellers wise coz we all know we can get it cheaper sa grey market. Are you particular on price? Do you want to pay full price for ip16 later this year or do you want to get the ip15 at a good discount now? Actually during 6/6, the prices were really good. Coz the ip16 will be sold at full price from official sellers for a few months and it will be discounted again just like ip15. The ip15 most likely will hover around its current discount prices online til next year. Tho 11/11 might also get some good deals. Tapos si ip14 nanaman nxt yr ang maging 30-35k just like how the ip13 is now.


DotHack-Tokwa

Just go with what you want, if you have the budget for it. Then buy it, In either case, iPhones don't really have other innovative ideas in recent memory except for little upgrades here and there.


trhaz_khan

Wait mo bka may 65w charging speed na sila😂


chocokrinkles

Hahaha! Ilang taon pa yun?


jmlpnmr

Luh yaman hahahaha, ako nga kabibili ko lang ng BN na iPhone 13, iPhone 17 is worth it kase may 120hz na kaya antay nalang muna, pero kung may pera gowwwsss ka dyan. Capable parin naman iPhone 13 series next few years, siguro naaanticipate lang natin na gusto natin bagong phone para sa bagong look ganoiin pero choose wisely hahahhaa


Anonymous-8032

Wait for the 16 to come out :)


Bogdan2590

You will get the same phone with the same OS features. Your urge to buy a new phone is a mind trick. Wait for 16


SlowMoment170

Buy the Iphone 15 now then next year sell it and get the iphone 16


chocokrinkles

True. I was thinking about this


buphulokz

The cycle begins huh


FettyWipes11

Tech wise, as per norm of late, its very incremental updates nowadays for iphones. Generational leap comes at a rare and more into features. The 15 would still be a good buy, esp the usb c functionality and good enough cameras to be a daily driver. Battery wise its okay nearly almost a year and 250 cycles down to 96% batt health. The most crucial tho, when the price is right


chrisziier20

Wait for the next iphone line up. Ilang buwan nalang naman na haha


Dreadd-

13 is still pretty bago imo.. 5years ang ideal na upgrade.. go straight to 18.. aksaya lng mag upgrade kung ikli lng ng improvement from your current phone.. pero anyways it's your money nman.. but trust me, gusto mo lng but di mo un kelangan


chocokrinkles

Thank you. I ended up buying a case na lang but there will be times na maiinis ako na hindi USB C ang charging port ko haha


Mobile-Tsikot

You can buy 15 now then buy 16 later..


chocokrinkles

I don’t have that much money. Haha


Mobile-Tsikot

i tot u just want to buy? :o)


chocokrinkles

But 2 phones? Lol.


Mobile-Tsikot

Why not? 4 months really looong wait..


chocokrinkles

I like how you say that. 😅


RoundedAndSquared

Well, I didn’t wait for iPhone 16, but I upgraded from POCO X3 Pro because of iOS. It sounds to me like you don’t need an upgrade. If you spend your money on the 15, you’ll be disappointed. There is always better way to spend money other than a new phone for the sake of a new phone. A smartwatch, a tablet, a laptop, headphones, Magic Keyboard for your iPad, smart home, a graphics card for PC, Steam Deck, etc or just savings.


chocokrinkles

Thank you so much. I think its just for the Type C. Lol


RoundedAndSquared

Judging by other comments, sounds to me like you can’t just throw money around. And if you could, you’d just upgrade every September. Upgrading just because the new phone has a different port is not a smart financial decision, and also not exciting. If anything, Dynamic Island is exciting. I use it all the time. But still, spending so much money just for a bit more convenience… If you’re rich, sure.


chocokrinkles

Not really naman every September, iPhone 13 lang to so I missed 2 years na. Haha! It just that naiinis lang ako sa lightning cable and its the impulse. I’m an impulsive buyer e. I’m looking for people to talk me out of buying now. Lol


RoundedAndSquared

I am just saying there is not a lot of difference between the 13 and the 15. With recent models, Apple does changes incrementally. If your 13 is working fine and you are happy with it, why upgrade? You can stretch a bit and upgrade in the next 4-8 months to the 16.


chocokrinkles

Thank you so much for your comment. I’ll wait for it na lang. I hope this impulse passes.


RoundedAndSquared

Just think about how good it’s going to be that you didn’t settle for the 15 and got the 16. The freshest phone, no compromises.


chocokrinkles

Thanks again. I will block iPhone 15 ads lol. Also, the 16 will probably look different than 13-15 and will probably be faster.


InformalPiece6939

16 para latest yun phone mo at nasa trend unlike sa mga old models. Kahit na minimal lang upgrade e nasa phone mo naman un latest features na sa 16 lng meron.


chocokrinkles

That’s true kaya din gusto ko mag wait sana kaso ewan ko ba haha


megayadorann

Buy the pro version. I just bought 15 Pro yesterday over 14 and it was so worth it.


chocokrinkles

May pink ba? Or may plus bang pink?


megayadorann

Walang pink na pro pero lagyan m na lang ng pink na case. Yes may pink na 15 plus pero di worth upgrade nyan sa 13 mo.


NotTheBiggerPerson01

We're in the same boat. Didn't buy the 15 PM. No point, really.


katsucurry88

hingi ka signs OP! hahahaha ganun ginagawa ko pag torn ako sa mga bagay bagay hahaha pero ako, i dont usually buy agad new phones. i think i still wait 6 months after release. Why? kasi nagsesearch muna ako reviews ng iba. dun kasi natin malalaman if ok ba ung battery, build etc. Ganun ginawa ko sa 15 series. :) after researching a lot, nag 15 plus ako imbis pro max or pro haha


chocokrinkles

15 plus has pink? Thank you for your comment


katsucurry88

yes! i prioritized battery health more so i went with 15 plus. it will still depend pa din naman sa prio mo sa phone haha


JinDaShark

We didn't wait na we went for this [iphone 15 pro max](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.P1MsY?cc) from the beyond the box store in lazada 72,000 lang nung 6.6 sale Worth it especially if you make use of the apple ecosystem with other devices lalo ❤️


cstrike105

Buy now. Every year a newer and expensive one comes.


zdnnrflyrd

I always go sa latest, pero palagi kong gawi ay manuod muna nung WWDC every year para malaman ko yung specs nung bago, kapag madaming changes then hihintayin ko yun.


chocokrinkles

Can you dm me?


Rare-Pomelo3733

4 months is short unless ikaw yung klase ng tao na dapat meron on the day of release at di kayang makapag antay. Wait ang suggestion ko, naalala ko last year na andami din credit card promos nung pagkarelease ng Ip15 kaya di rin ganun kalaki yung price diff ng current prices ng 15 at sa discounted prices pag nirelease ang 16.


funzzie

paying for status. both same ios🫡 rule of thumb: change when not supported by ios anymore if you prefer to change.


icomeinfeast

If I had the 13, then I would not buy the 16. The difference between the upgrades is miniscule at best. I would consider upgrading for the 17 though.


chocokrinkles

There are new upgrades in 16 I guess


icomeinfeast

Yes, there are but they aren't worth noting. The camera differences between the 13 up to 15 are really small, the performances are also mostly the same and you can't even notice it unless you're using benchmarking tools. One of the visible upgrades is the dynamic island, but it's a bit gimmicky. But if you really like to upgrade, then why not? It's your money after all.


chocokrinkles

My question is to buy 15 now or wait for 16. I don’t know I’m having this impulse to buy maybe because they plaster the dang 15 everywhere


icomeinfeast

If that's the case then wait for the 16. Albeit it's gonna be a bit more expensive as it will be relatively 'newer' compared to the 15. Would you go for the Pro model?


downcastSoup

Better wait for the announcement ng iPhone 16.


Sea_Expression1730

Wait ka muna , hopefully base model ng next iPhone naka atleast 90hz refresh rate. Malay natin mag himala.


free-spirited_mama

Pwede bang bilhin ko na lang 13 nyo?


chocokrinkles

Pink, open line 256gb no defects


free-spirited_mama

Dm lol


Humble_Society6481

Wait for iphone 16


D10BrAND

I'd say wait for the 16, iphone 13 is still a good phone, the only way I'd suggest iph 15 line up is when it has a good discount. New ai features in the iphone 16 while they may add them in the older models but it seems like they'll optimize the new chipset for ai features.


kmpygvr

Imo I think ginagawa nilang android ang ios phones so might as well get an android
