Trying to decide between these two….

Is the worth going with the pro versus the regular one just for the camera difference?

If you're on the fence, the answer is no.

If the money is really nbd, then just do it.

When does the 16 drop?

Fall

If you use the camera a lot and video, I think the 5x Zoom is worth it. Also does really good stabilization in 5x.

Also, you may not care but the 15 Pro can record video in 3D. Later down the road if the Apple Vision is affordable and mainstream, you can look back to now in 3D. The Meta Quest allows you to upload these videos and watch them.

iPhone 16 is 7 months away.
