The 14 Pro has become much cheaper and looks tempting: 120 Hz, Dynamic Island, a telephoto. But a few things make the 15 Pro noticeably more modern.
Short answer
iPhone 15 Pro - USB-C, titanium, the Action button, the A17 Pro and Apple Intelligence. iPhone 14 Pro - almost the same display and camera experience for less money, but without AI features and with Lightning.
