I have a 2014 rMBP that is still running Sierra (not even High Sierra). I put off updating it due to Software compatibility complications and eventually just started doing most of my work on my desktop, since the MacBook became slow anyways. Now I need it for a job and I need to get it to the...

Hi, is there any noticeable difference between iPhone 12 and 15? I know that it is pointless to buy model 13/14 if I have iPhone 12, but is the newest iPhone 15 really that better? Different notch, better camera, battery etc, everything is fine but is it really noticeable in terms of daily...
