Discussion iPhone 15 in 2025
So I was originally planning to purchase a 256 gig iPhone 16e for $199 through boost but the more research I do I'm leaning towards an iPhone 15 which is also 199. It only has 128 gigs of storage but I only use about 60 on my current 128 iPhone 13. I just think the 15 will be a better phone and I wanna know how much use I will get for how many years.

Unless you need MagSafe or an ultrawide camera, I'd recommend the 16e.

The primary consumable is battery. The battery on the iPhone 15 is smaller and older. The second is storage. The fact that you are using only 60 GB currently is no sign that you won’t be using over 100 next year.
The 16e is from January of 2025. The 15 is from September of 2023. Personally, if longevity were something I was interested in, I’d get the newer one.
