So I have researched a lot in the last 30 days (I was hoping for some black Friday deal, but that's not available through my company portal), but I still struggle to decide.

Some facts:

  1. Camera is nice to have, but I have a professional camera that I use on trips. So the phone camera would be more on a daily "have to take the shot now".
  2. The difference from 13 base to 15 pro is 500 USD.
    1. Keep in mind that this is equivalent to half of what remains of my salary after basic bills (rent, groceries etc)
  3. USB C is nice, but most of the time I will charge with magsafe
  4. 120hz would be one of the main benefits for me
  5. I have an iPad pro in case I need more "processing power"
  6. Can only change phone every 3 years
  7. 13 Pro or 14 Pro are not an option, since they are not available on where I have to buy

So in your view, is it worth to upgrade from 11 to 13 base - and keep this 500 USD to invest somewhere - or should I go straight for 15 pro?

Go to 15 pro. Trade in your old phone and get it on finance if you can’t afford it all in one go. Get a decent case for it and it’ll last for years. I use OtterBox defenders. Never let me down.
