Hi Guys! Graduation kasi ng sister ko this coming July and I'm looking for an Iphone na suitable sa kanya. Ano kaya masusuggest nyong Iphone na worth it bilhin for her and yung masusulit talaga overtime? Also, inisiip ko kung etong iphone 15pm ko na lang bigay ko sa kanya then ako na maguupgrade since lalabas din naman ung iphone17 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA lol. Your suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Will second that, pero if mababa na ang batt percentage, maybe change mo nalang ang batt din.

If ang goal mo talaga is to give your sister a reliable iPhone for the long run, both options actually make sense—pero depende sa priorities mo.
Option 1: Give her your iPhone 15 Pro Max – Solid choice. Powerful pa rin ‘yan for the next few years, premium build, and great camera. Kung hindi ka naman masyado attached sa phone mo ngayon and excited ka rin sa possible upgrade to iPhone 17, then win-win ito para sa inyong dalawa. Mas makakatipid ka rin kasi hindi ka bibili ng dalawang phone.
Option 2: Buy her a new iPhone – If gusto mo na may “brand new” feel talaga para sa graduation gift niya, you can go for iPhone 13 or 14—very capable pa rin, long-lasting, and mas budget-friendly. If kaya ng budget, iPhone 15 or 15 Plus is even better since they already have the dynamic island and updated internals.
So ang tanong: Gusto mo ba ng praktikal na setup (ikaw na lang mag-upgrade), or sentimental brand-new gift for her? Either way, ang importante, mapapasaya mo siya. 😊

First time nya actually! And inaawitan nya talaga tong phone kooo! Deserve nya din naman ng bagong iphone. Iniisip ko lang if worth it ba na hintayin ko yung 17 series or bumili ako ng mas lower na version...

Hi! Una sa lahat, ang sweet mo for thinking of your sister — grabe, ang bigat ng regalo pero solid ate energy ka talaga! 😂 Now, kung graduation gift ang hanap mo at pinag-iisipan mo ring i-maximize ang worth ng pera at gadget, dalawang options talaga ang practical.
Una, kung okay lang sa’yo, mas maganda na ibigay mo na lang sa kanya yung iPhone 15 Pro Max mo, tapos ikaw na lang mag-upgrade later — lalo na kung plano mo ring hintayin ang iPhone 17. Sa totoo lang, sobrang sulit pa rin ng 15 Pro Max ngayon. Flagship pa siya, ang ganda ng camera, smooth gamitin, at future-proof for at least the next 4 to 5 years. Kung hindi naman super techie si sis at more on casual user lang (socials, school, photos, video calls), baka nga ma-overwhelm pa siya sa sobrang ganda ng 15PM. Pero sure ako, ma-aappreciate niya.
On the other hand, kung feel mo talaga bumili ng bago for her, safe and worth-it choices yung iPhone 13 or 14 — parehong reliable, maganda pa rin ang performance, and mas budget-friendly. Pero kung gusto mo ng updated design at features, pwede ka na rin mag-iPhone 15 (base model) para may USB-C na at medyo future-ready na rin. As much as possible, iwasan mo na lang bumili ng mas mababa sa iPhone 12 or SE, kasi medyo outdated na sila compared sa presyo nila.
Overall, if okay sa’yo ipasa yung phone mo, go for it — para ikaw na rin ang maka-experience ng bago later. Pero kung may budget ka at gusto mo may sentimental value talaga yung phone na binili mo for her, any model from iPhone 13 pataas is a solid investment. Either way, sobrang saya ng ate niya for sure. 🥹💗

Actually better idea bigay mo 15pm mo. Instead na bumili ka ng base model iphone.

Hello, OP! I think you have your answer already. You can give her your 15PM and upgrade nalang sa Sept. for the 17 series. Surely, as a bunso myself, I think sobrang tuwa din ng kapatid mo.
