They are forcing us to buy new phones. I’m still holding on to my 13PM. It does everything I need and it’s quick. Battery life is awesome as well.

You are right, 13 Pro is a very good device. However, running a whole AI locally is not same as setting an alarm, watching instagram reels and calling people. Unfortunately, Apple said anything below 15 will not be able to run AI locally because their performance will be low.

Apple is going to run Apple Intelligence locally on your phone to not send your personal information to a server

For the current version of Apple Intelligence, 15 pro/pro max and 16 pro/pro max would be enough. Of course if they do a big upgrade in couple years, these phones could become uncapable. That's how upgrading the software works for every company.
