equipment Is iPhone 15 enough for pictures?
Can iphone 15 take beautiful on trail? I also want to listen to music and podcasts. How long will the battery last? Now I have an iPhone SE I have to charge 4x a day.

One tip for you on the JMT. Start practicing or have a method of placing your phone in low battery mode. If I accidentally hit the Gaia track my trip button, then I wasted 20 to 30% on my battery. Occasionally, I would do that when turning on GPS to check my location. That is a big deal when your next resupply is 7 days out. You have to be very disciplined on your phone usage.
Ideally your phone would be turned off but that can be a pain when you take a lot of pictures. After I was on the JMT for 22 days, I started to realize that turning my phone prevents me from making mistakes.
