An upgrade is easiest to justify if you care about a display size change from 6.1 in to 6.3 in, an ultrawide camera resolution change from 12 MP to 48 MP and a telephoto zoom change from 3× optical zoom to 5× optical zoom. If those areas already meet your needs on Apple iPhone 15 Pro (2023), the move is optional rather than urgent.
