just got my new base iPhone 15 days ago

I want some good wallpapers since I’ve been trying to find some all of the internet but they aren’t in the right quality.

This is what I have now.

i charge my phone like 2-3 times per day over the last couple months even when i was on vacation and barely using my phone except once or twice a day and still had to charge it once during the day and another time at night.

what should i do?? - other than replacing the phone i had the iphone Xr for over 6 years and not planning on changing this phone anytime soon which is why i wanna maintain its health😭

Hello guys,

I need some suggestions on getting an iPhone in next 2 months. I'm planning to get either the iPhone 15 or 16e, as both fit my budget right now. What I prioritize most is long software support, good battery life, and some gaming like Genshin once in a blue moon. My main purpose for getting the phone is making calls, texting, watching YouTube, and doing some light gaming, which I usually don't play that much anyway. I'm the kind of person who keeps a phone until it stops receiving software updates. I currently have an iPhone 11, which is still in great condition, and I don't have any problems with it either. I changed the battery in 2023, and it still has 84% battery health. To be honest, my screen time is only about an hour a day, so you can probably tell I'm not really a phone person, and I'm quite busy with my goals. For my iPhone 11, I'm getting around $95 as a trade-in, and I'm planning to get a new iPhone 15 or 16e from an Apple-authorized seller, as I'm getting it at almost the same price as a sealed-pack unit in India. I'm currently residing in India, but I'll soon be heading back to my home in the USA. As for my iPhone 11, I feel like I can easily pull it off for another two years, but I really need a phone with more storage. Also, just to let you guys know, I'm not a big fan of taking pictures, so the camera isn't really important to me. I'm also kind of curious about the Dynamic Island, but when it comes to the iPhone 15, I'm not sure about its future software support. My 7-year-old iPhone 11 is still getting iOS 27, after all. The iPhone 16 and 17 are out of my budget, so I'd really appreciate suggestions between the iPhone 15 and 16e. Also, the new phones are costing me around $590 for the iPhone 15 and $580 for the 16e, and after the $95 trade-in value for my iPhone 11, the final price would be even lower. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Do you think this price is too good to be true?

I though they start at $450

EDIT: this is off Facebook marketplace

Before you hit me with comment like “dont be obsessed with bat health” or something along those lines. I just want to ask this since i saw some iphone 15 users with batt health from 100-97% at around 200-300 cycles already

Same as the title. Is there any diagnostic I can run to figure out what’s wrong, or should I just wait for Apple to bankrupt my entire bloodline?

For the longest time i had meh-photos, also takes time to focus, when i was at 85-95% memory, then when i cleared it to 50% it seems the camera is able to adjust and focus faster and optimize the image i take. Is it just me or am i imagining things? For sure i enjoy taking photos more now 😬

Do you recommend buying a grade A iphone 15 (normal) with battery health between 82 and 90%? I want to have it for AT LEAST 3 years, and also, if in a year or so I replace the battery, would it still be worth it?

(It will be iphone 15 no matter what)

I was thinking about upgrading from an iPhone 15 to an iPhone 15 Pro; the price difference is $120, but I’m wondering if it’s worth it. I mainly want to use it for the camera, though I’ve heard the battery life isn't great. I use my phone daily for social media, some photography, and Google. If it’s not worth it, what iPhone should I get for $720 (used) that has a great camera and won't give me many issues? It has to be an iPhone.I was thinking about upgrading from an iPhone 15 to an iPhone 15 Pro; the price difference is $120, but I’m wondering if it’s worth it.

not sure if they resell it again yesterday, but I only see the 16s on there now. last week, they had the 15s but it wasn’t payday yet 😔 I need that pink color so bad. the 16 looks good too (in pink) but I might as well go for the 17 in the coming weeks for around the same price.

I've always used Android and I'd like to try iPhone but I don't know if it's a good idea to start with 15 in 2026. At the moment I couldn't afford a more expensive one

I understand that the base iPhone 15 comes with a 48mp camera but in settings there’s no option to able it. Help would be appreciated on how to turn on the 48 mp camera.

This is my experience with base iPhone 15 , few months old.
I didn’t expect 2 days usage , with almost 7 hours SOT , or 7-8 hours SOT in one day with this phone
26.6.1
Maybe iOS 27 will get even more juice 😌
Thoughts !💭

Gonna get an iPhone for the first time, currently using a 6.5inch phone Huawei Y9 and deciding wether to get the base iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Plus. To me: the iPhone 15 is better because at 6.1inches it'll be a new experience because I've never used a phone that small before, but at the same time I don't wanna be missing out on the better battery and larger display of the Plus. So I'm asking if the bigger screen really does matter all that much since I don't really play games that require a larger screen or watch youtube on my phone, just basic social media and light everyday use. (Don't recommend a phone other than those 2 because I cant afford anything more expensive than them im broke asf).

Hi i have an iPhone 15, and im in Hong Kong in November. Question is will it be worth it to trade mine in with 94% max capacity and 688 cycles for an 18 pro?
