I have just got an iPhone 15 to replace my iPhone 13. I have transferred all apps and settings across from my 13 so I basically have the same phone twice.

How can I make my iPhone 15 feel new while keeping all apps and layouts?

    You upgraded too soon. It is practically the same phone. If it was a base 13 you would feel the difference more.

      Yeah that’s what happens when you upgrade too soon, you kinda feel like you bought the same phone. Because guess what, it’s almost the same phone. Apart from a few differences (usb c, some differences in photo, dynamic island and… that’s pretty much it for the visible things). No idea why people upgrade for no reason and then try to justify their purchase. It should be the opposite: I justify my purchase, once it’s done, I buy

    Best way to make my phone feel new even though I’ve had it for a year or more is to change out my case monthly and reorganize my Home Screen and wallpaper. Makes everything feel a bit fresh. I alternate like this every month or so for a change and keep myself grateful lol

    Aside from certain situations where you’re taking pictures and the use of the always on display, there’s no difference. The molar reasonable thing to do would’ve been replaced the battery on the 13 for $99 and then wait another year or two for an upgrade.

    It’s a new phone. If that doesn’t feel knew there is probably nothing you can do.

    I change my wallpaper and it already feels different lol

    It’s been the same for years, phones last way longer than they used to and with designs not changing much either. Obviously the 15 is better but on a day to day basis it’s probably just going to be the same.

    Change your wallpaper & phone case… I have a few cases and matching wallpapers which I switch every couple of days to keep it fresh

      I am used to it already. It looks and feels exactly the same as my 13 so wondered if there was anything I could change appearance wise to make it feel different

        Hahaha ehm it’s all in your head. Don’t think about it. Just enjoy your phone. And if you feel like subtle changes, just windowshop for not needed accessoires and you might find something cool😂

        I had to buy a bunch of new stuff because of the port. That’s new. It’s also green and has a new case or will when it gets here. The camera probably takes better pictures. Really I don’t know what to tell you. One way I make new iPhones have an extra new feeling is not downloading the new iOS on my old phone. Then whatever changes are in that are new to the phone. Also I read something about dynamic island, but that seems like an annoying feature.
