The
Apple iPhone has gone from strength to strength in its 13 year existence. In
2019 we got the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Max, all of which Apple
sells next to the older iPhone XR and the brand new iPhone SE. Until the iPhone
12 in September, which is the best iPhone you can buy?
With other retailers selling models older than what Apple stocks, buying an iPhone can be a confusing experience despite their extreme popularity. Additionally, for the first time in a while, the best iPhone in our opinion is not the most expensive.
We love iPhones for their excellent design and build, quality cameras and unrivalled four to five years of software support from Apple. The latest iPhone 11 range has also significantly improved battery life, one of the things holding older iPhones back from greatness.
Apple just unveiled the new iPhone SE, which is a more affordable member of the iPhone range. It features an A13 Bionic chipset, a Touch ID fingerprint scanner and a similar design to the iPhone 8. It now features in our ranking below too as we've published our full verdict.
