  1. I bought the SE 2 in December and I’m really disappointed in it . I suggest the xr or if 500 dollars is too much then I recommend the pixel 4a trust me

  2. I think the iphone X and above are trash (sorry for the hate its just my opinion) because if your the guy that drops your phone a lot its gonna break i think pretty fast and you will lose 600$ for nothing

  3. I almost went for just the 12.. but sprung for the 12 pro max , and I gotta say I have no regrets. I haven’t had a new flagship since the 5s came out so it felt good spending a little extra on myself for once since ive always been behind the times so owning apples flagship feels good on top of all the beautifully amazing hardware and software to anyone on the fence its worth the price tag. Especially since carriers offer monthly financing. iPhone 12 Pro Max all the way

  4. The first iPhone I had was the iPhone 6, followed by the iPhone 8 three years later and, since June of 2020, the iPhone 11 Pro. I’ll probably upgrade again in a couple of years so I’m looking forward to what they come up with by that time. 🙂

  5. I’m currently saving up for the iPhone SE (2020), and the reason I can’t get the XR or 11, is because I’m still a pre-teen, and can’t get a job, so the SE is the cheapest option that I could possibly even get. Wish me luck! I have about 200 bucks to go.

  6. i went from the XR to the SE, seemed like a good ish idea at first but now i kinda regret it, i got the xr at launch and it was good but the battery was degraded and instead of replacing i 'upgraded' to the SE.. the battery is awful (im a heavy user) and would not recommend it for anyone who has a screen time of 8-10 plus hours daily 🙂 (touch id deffo great in the current climate however!!)

  7. My secondary phone is an original SE. I am surprised at how smoothly it runs iOS 14.1. I find it more comfortable to make calls than my daily driver Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and occasionally use it to film 720 video (I know it can do better, but the 16gb storage is paltry and gets full very easily).

  8. i'm currently using an samsung galaxy s8 and i'm planning to buy an iphone 12 or 13 at the end of this year, my current phone is broken and slow and i dont have so much money and my birthday is at the end of the year.

    i also think the xs or x is great for me as an emergency solution if my phone comes to break in the middle of the yerar

  9. I think for a temporary phone until the iphone 13 comes out XS is my best option. I can find one renewed at £290. That seems perfectly fine for me.

  10. You know what’s so funny?! I am still using the iPhone se 1st generation. And for my birthday, I bought an iPhone 12 mini. But I’m not using my new phone. I’m still using the iPhone se

  11. I brought a 7plus last week just because I don't see myself buying a $200-300 Android phone with 3-4 cameras that somehow the 7plus' camera still beat in quality.

  12. Don’t get the 6s in 2021. It’s not going to get iOS 15, it’s very slow, and it looks ugly. It’s going for like 150$-$200. That’s ridiculous!!! I found a used iPhone X for 200$, with a crack on the back. That’s such a good deal

  13. I'm a teen who doesn't have a job yet, looking into buying my own Iphone. I've been shopping around and I'm not sure which one to go for, I'd just want to use it for a few apps and texting, and I was looking at the 7. If I can find one do you think that's a decent one to go for or should I save up more for an 8 plus?

  14. I bought the Xr new and have no complaints. I’ve had in Apple’s clear acrylic case since day one (which by the way is probably the first clear case I’ve had that hasn’t yellowed), and when I’ll occasionally pop it out to clear the dust off the thing still looks pristine. I’ve never had a screen protector on it and the glass still looks flawless. People like to whine all the time about the screen but honestly I can’t see any pixels, it still looks pretty sharp and overall I have really no complaints. I did upgrade to the 12 this year because of that crazy promotion Verizon was doing where if you traded in an old iPhone it slashed $580 off the price. I still had my old 6 sitting around in a drawer so I gave it a shot sending it in and sure enough they applied that massive credit to my account

  15. I just recently bought a white 11 pro Max for $500. From the Facebook market. It was a couple selling them because they upgraded to the 12 pro Max and they like to upgrade every year. It’s in pristine condition came with the box and battery health of 99%. What y’all think? Did I get a great deal? I was going to buy and unlocked iPhone 12 from Apple which was going to cost 897 plus shipping. Glad I checked Facebook because this 11 pro Max is amazing!

  16. If you plan to keep your phone for 2-3 years, you should buy iPhones having the A11 chip and onwards to make sure you get iOS updates.

  17. Can’t decide between 12 mini and 11 pro. Found them at same price. Love mini’s size but the battery life scares me a bit ngl. Larger than 11 pro is way big for me (otherwise i would buy the 11, sounds like an amazing phone)
