Is it worth upgrading for?
It depends which features you'd actually use day to day. If Apple Intelligence is the only thing you're missing and your phone otherwise works well, it's a want rather than a need. If you were going to upgrade soon anyway, it's a good reason to do it now.
If your phone already supports it, there's no Apple Intelligence reason to upgrade at all.
