iPhone 15 Pro has a Slightly better battery iPhone 15 Pro has the LiDAR sensor which allows for features like door detection, instant text recognition using the magnifier app etc. App developers can potentially use this and I like having it. 15 Pro has the new action button which you can program to answer/hang up calls, trigger the camera and more, regular iPhone 15 does not have it. This is one of the features why I definitely would go for a Pro 15 Pro has the latest A17 chip, the regular iPhone 15 has last year's A16 chip. In real life this will make little or no difference, however. 15 Pro has a better camera (Pro phones always do, whether this might be a good thing or not for a blind person is questionable) 15 Pro has a Titanium frame instead of a stainless steel frame which the older Pro phones have. That is noticeable if you compare, for example an iPhone 14 Pro (206 grams) or 13 Pro (204 grams) and an iPhone 15 Pro (187 grams). It is a difference of around 20 grams which is around ¾ of an ounce. Of course keep in mind that the regular 15, 14 and so on have an aluminum frame and not a stainless steel frame and the regular phones are typically slightly lighter than the Pro phones. In case of the iPhone 15 (171 grams) and the iPhone 15 Pro (187 grams) that difference is 16 grams which is actually just over half an ounce or like a tablespoon of water and holding both phones that will probably be noticeable. If you went from an iPhone 13 Pro or 14 Pro to a regular iPhone 15 the weight difference is well over an ounce and would be very noticeable, but that upgrade does not make all that much sense especially not if you had a 14 Pro which as the same processor as the regular 15, but with the 14 Pro you have LiDAR which you would lose going to a 15. If you don't ever use it it's not a big deal, but if you do it would probably be something you miss. Once again I feel an upgrade is really justified if you have an iPhone 11 or 11 Pro or older, definitely if you have an iPhone 8 or older, but then you still have to decide if you want to spend very big bucks to go to a 15 Pro since by now an iPhone 8 would be worth only maybe $150 if you sold it. If your phone needs upgrading but you can get by for another 2 months I think waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday is the way to go, by then we'll know how well the new phones really sell and if providers and stores still have phones like the 13 Pro in stock you would most likely find some very smoking good deals, but even a 14 or 14 Pro then would be available for a much better deal than right now.
