Definitely. It's better buying last year's pro device than this overpriced 60hz iphones. I can't defend Apple anymore when debating with Android users. It's just pure greed lately from Apple.

The pros are already very heavy. Imagine they made them thick enough to cover the camera bump and fill it with battery.
That would be a very heavy phone.
I'm getting ready to replace my 12 Mini which I'll pass on to my daughter. The only thing that keep me from waiting for 16 are the capacitive buttons which I don't like.
I will probably get 15 Pro instead I guess. 😉

15 Pro is the best option if upgrading from a 12/13 mini in my opinion.
It almost seems as if the phones are specifically made to have a case on them to even out the plane of the back. The camera bump makes the back of the device look unfinished.
You should really give iPhone 13 mini a try. It's the best design since the original SE.
And I guess you need a forklift to carry around a larger phone? Get out of here with that BS. It's 100% as mobile at your baby phones you seem to love.
I do not understand why all models are increasing in size. I do not need a larger phone. If I did, I would have purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I didn't for a good reason—I don't want a huge phone. If anything, I'd prefer a smaller but still powerful phone. Now, however, I guess I will have no choice. Maybe it will translate into a longer battery life, but I'm satisfied with the current battery life of my iPhone 15 Pro. Bigger isn't always better!
I see no point in upgrading from my 14 pro max. I don’t use any apps that couldn’t run on an iPhone 8 with little real world performance difference. I guess it’s nice for gaming, but i would much rather game on a console or PC instead of a touchscreen.
For everyone asking for the new iPad mini... wait a few years. At this rate (not complaining) the iPhone XX Pro Ultra Max will be the size of the long awaited iPad mini. Problem solved. All jokes aside, I think a 6.9 to 7.0 will be perfect. Just use two small hands or one large and enjoy!
The comments about small hands, or its mobile enough, or use two hands… there are people who do not enjoy using huge phones and have active lifestyles, ie need something mobile and more compact. There are also people who can be clumsy while running around a busy city and have their hands busy, ie can only use one hand. Finally, there are disabled people who can only use one hand.
Indeed, a lot of people have sedentary or less active lifestyles and do not mind having these phones get bigger, but an option with a relatively smaller size would be greatly appreciated. Apple says they are inclusive and progressive company, well, this continuous growth of their phones in size is anything but.
By this point even a 5.8 inch iPhone would be a bloody miracle from this company. And that size could afford a good battery since that was the only issue of the mini for some.

I'll be sure to trade in my hands for larger ones when I purchase the phone
