If you are also planning to exchange an old smartphone for the iPhone 14 Plus, the price would get even lower.

An iPhone with excellent battery, is tempting at this price point and currently only a generation old with the latest iOS 17 out of the box.

However, there are several reasons why you should not go for it and get the iPhone 15 instead.

If you want your phone to be future-proof, it is best that you get an iPhone 15 or the iPhone 16 when it comes out in September.

In 2023, Apple introduced the Dynamic Island to the base iPhone 15 models, which is going to be a norm as well.
