The iPhone 16 series has been launched with many rich models, but the appearance of the iPhone 16e does not reduce the appeal of the iPhone 15.
In fact, the upcoming iPhone 17 promises to bring many new improvements, causing the demand for the iPhone 15 to decrease sharply and the price of older products is likely to decrease. This creates a great opportunity for those who want to get access to one of the first iPhones equipped with this USB-C port.
The problem is, many consumers are questioning whether the iPhone 15 is worth buying in 2025. Currently, the iPhone 15 costs around 16 million VND, making it the cheapest product sold directly from Apple (since the company discontinued the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, and SE 3 after launching the iPhone 16e). The price of this product will be even cheaper after the iPhone 17 is launched in September, especially during the year-end shopping season - the ideal time to buy the iPhone 15 at a discount.
We can even expect promotions to clear inventory for this model, especially at the moment when some stores still have inventory of the Pro line, which has Apple Intelligence technology and some design differences compared to the iPhone 16 and 17. Spending twice as much for the new version may not be necessary if users do not need completely new features.
While staying on an older version isn’t the best option, Apple Intelligence will be improved with iOS 19, so having a compatible phone is important. The iPhone 15 Pro is still one of the best options in terms of quality and price right now.
Additionally, consumers can also consider purchasing used devices, which come with a 12-month warranty (through an extended warranty program) and a much lower price than new models.
In short, the iPhone 15 is still a great choice for 2025, especially if you are looking for a balance between quality and price. While the iPhone 16 and 17 will bring a lot of new features, the iPhone 15 Pro still has impressive performance and excellent cameras, fully meeting the needs of high-end phone users. If you don't need the latest features and want to save money, the iPhone 15 Pro could be the ideal choice in late 2025.
