My wife was sad that the iPhone Mini was discontinued. She loved the smaller form factor. After two years using an iPhone 12 Mini, she then started using the 13 Mini. But the camera wasn’t good so she finally agreed to using an iPhone 15 after holding our daughter’s new 15 and realizing how light it was. She liked the color and didn’t feel it was too big. She loves taking pictures now with the better lenses and software. The battery is not that great but the fast charging helps.
Not excited about having to reset passwords, logins, facial recognition. Don’t recall that with 12. That was painful. The 15 works great for the most part. It did take it a while to recognize a new state and city and location was on. The colors they have for iPhone 15 are the biggest let down. We ordered the blue and it looks white. Under certain lighting it looks a faint blue..maybe. Sound quality and battery life is fantastic.
