Son wants an iPhone (alien.top)

My 14-year-old son wants an iPhone for Christmas. Do I need to get him the 15 or will an older version be okay?

He's only ever had Samsung phones, and not very good ones at that.

i have an iphone 12 and it still feels like a new phone. iphones are super great for longevity, so theres rarely ever a point in getting the newest one. the 14 and 15 aren’t different enough to warrant the price difference rn. iphones are kinda hitting a ceiling where the newest version is never really that different from the last one. in a lot of ways, my iphone 12 gives me mostly the same experience of having the newest phone and i really don’t plan on upgrading for a while because iphones take a long time to become heavily obsolete
