Considering an upgrade

Screen diagonals are 6.1″ and 6.3″. iPhone 16 Pro has the larger display, useful when space for spreadsheets, documents or multiple windows matters. This comparison covers the stated sizes; a different chassis size may change the conclusion.

Display refresh rates reach 60 and 120 Hz. iPhone 16 Pro supports the higher rate, relevant to scrolling and animations; it does not by itself guarantee that frame rate in games.

iPhone 15 weighs 171 g and iPhone 16 Pro weighs 199 g. The 28 g difference is small and is unlikely to be a decisive upgrade reason on its own.

This table covers the configurations shown; other screen sizes and capacities may differ. Specifications come from the project catalog, with original sources linked below.
