Your choices do not seem to fit the criteria for a budget phone :) That said, I would always prefer to go in for the latest, being that I’m thinking of taking the Apple + T-Mobile deal to upgrade my 12 Pro Max to the 13 Pro Max. Apple Tradein value for 12 Pro Max = $650. T-Mobile gives me $200 as 24 months credit. My net cost is $250 to upgrade from 128gb to 128gb. My 12 Pro Max’s battery health is at 96% after 1 year of use. iOS 17.0.3 unleashed the 15 Pro Max we deserved.

Not to mention this thing stays ice cold (though mine never got as hot as others were claiming) and zero drop of in performance. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is my first device in the Plus/Max line.

Funnily enough im currently researching s22+ since i want to move on from my 13 pro max, but people are trashing its battery life a lot.

Overnight stand by drain is the biggest offender, losing ~5% overnight is wild after being in apply ecosystem for a while I had the 13 Pro and loved it but upgraded to the 14 Pro Max for better battery life after iOS 16 ruined it. I don’t know that I will go down to regular Pro size anytime soon because the 14 Pro Max battery life still isn’t long enough for me, and I do enjoy the bigger screen. I will be upgrading to the 15 Pro Max though. .
