My prediction is when September come, the 14 Pro price wouldn’t probably drop as much as it is discounted right now because the retailers themselves are absorbing/discounting the phones themselves and not Apple.
This is also based on past releases, they will sell the remaining discounted Pro stock till no more, unlike the regular 14 which might get a 500-600 price cut from its RM4199 RRP back to its current discounted price at around 3.6k and continue to be sold.

So a few questions to ask yourself:

Will you be okay for price increase for 15 Pro?  If yes by all means wait for the 15 Pro. Apple pricing vs conversion rate price changes are unpredictable. A 100 USD increase could mean anywhere between a 500-600 MYR increase or more.

Are you ok to be on lightning port? Hype for USB C is real because you can travel with ease with one cable, and it has a higher data transfer rate if you need to transfer stuff to your Mac. But if you use iCloud or wireless MagSafe charging then the port doesn’t matter to you.  Or like me I have a lot devices at lightning including AirPods Pro 2, so I still need both cables anyway, even though some of my devices like my iPAd Pro already use USB C. And also there are a lot more types/confusing USB C cables out there compared to just a single MFI certified lightning port. I would also think lightning port on the phone  is easier to clean compared to USB C with a hovering stick in the middle.

Are there still a lot of stock and availability for the specific colour you want? Seems like silver is a popular colour followed by space black.

iPhone 15 rumour so far:

Pros: newer A17 being more efficient, battery capacity may increase if it takes up the sim slot, curve screen, titanium sides

Some drawback on the 15 rumours: curve screen will make it harder to apply screen protector, titanium being more expensive but easier to scuff/scratch, and possibility to loss physical SIM card (the 14 already loss physical SIM in the US)

Anyway the decision is up to you so anything I say here may turn out to be true/untrue only till the next iPhone and pricing is unveiled.

am using 13 pro now (bought last year to replace iphone 11) ...

dun plan to buy iphone 15 pro cos likely the dynamic island is here to stay (for me it's still a gimmick and an obstruction when watching video at landscape mode compared to pre-dynamic island ...

11 series is still a well made phone unless we're taking about 5G and type C, a mid tier android is also a good choice for a second phone though🙈

Another month to go for them to announce the iphone 15, I guess I will wait until then.
Yes, I'm ok with lightning port, the port does not concern me much actually, it's the price.
I am going to buy space black, it's still available.

it is a bit different, it changes some of the interface, but not a must have feature, it will come to all iPhones eventually.

Good thing is you can multitask easily on any app to control your music/calls/timer all those through the island. Other than that normally I just ignore them like the previous notch, but tend to notice the island existence more than the notch..
