It will give you door detection and there is a new instant text recognition feature which is part of Magnifier, but I am not sure if it's really all that much better than what you can already get with Seeing AI. I don't think Be My Eyes and the new Be My AI feature which is part of Be My Eyes relies on LiDAR in any way. I bought a 13 Pro last year and decided to go with a Pro and not a regular 13 because of this, but I must say that except for playing around with it, I have never used door detection even once in the real world. My advice is to stick with your 13 Mini and get an iPhone 16 Pro next year, some of the new stuff in the 15 Pro will then be in its second generation so to speak and may get useful improvements. I have definitely no intention to upgrade this year from my 13 Pro to a 15 Pro, the action button might be the most tempting new feature, but it's not worth that much money and even if I don't want to spend the big bucks next year for a 16 Pro, I can get a better deal on a 15 pro once the 16 phones have been released.

I'm contimplating upgrading to the 15 pro. I have a 13 mini now. One of the main reasons I want to upgrade is the lightar. I don't quite understand what it's used for, but I'm wondering if this will give me better text and object recognition? Thoughts?
