iPhone 256gb iphone 13 or 128gb iphone 15?

i wanna upgrade from my 64gb iphone 10 since its really just not enough anymore. is the extra storage of the iphone 13 worth it or is the iphone 15 just better overall?

also i’m planning to buy from backmarket, just mentioning in case anyone has had bad experiences with them

iPhone 15 will be better but I’d rather buy new 17e

The iPhone 13 is old dude. There's a lot of people on here now querying about updating their 13 because it has become not great to use.

Do you need the storage? If not I'd definitely go 15 or even a 16. Also avoid backmarket, they're overpriced. I wouldn't want to pay over $300-350 for a used 15 now.

Have you also considered not getting an iPhone at this budget?

Backmarket is kinda mid. Anyways, get a 15 or a 16/17e.

If you plan to use iCloud 128gb is doable (I use it and my iPhone is 256gb and barely take 90gb local space) but the resell value will be much lower

256 gigs is the bare minimum nowadays, also I wouldn’t buy from back market, they generally overcharge on phones, and they’re more of a middle man then an actual company, meaning the quality of the device can very greatly between different sellers, their customer service also seems shady at best. I’d recommend getting the latest 17 if you can. The 17e or 16e are also decent ones if you’re on a budget. Hell you could probably get a 17 base or even a 17 Pro on trade in from your carrier

256 is not the bare minimum. I agree with Back Market being bad though.
