For users that keep their devices for a long time. Is it worth getting a Pro iPhone for longer term support? (alien.top)

I keep my devices for a long time. I’m currently using an iPhone 8 and have a 5 that sees daily use as well.

Now that Apple has switched to putting the newest chip in the 15 Pro and last years chip in the 15 would it be worth it to get the Pro when looking at using a phone for 6-8 years?

I came from an iPhone XS Max and was in a similar predicament. I was deciding between 14 pro max and 15 pro max. Ultimately, I decided to go with the 15 pro max. I don’t plan on upgrading until the phone stops receiving software updates or starts slowing down. I figured since I was already spending at least 900 I might as well go for the newest phone. The usbc was also pretty convincing because all my other devices (iPad,Mac) use it. I know I’ll get at least 5 years outta my 15pm without any issues, so for me the purchase was worth it.
