Don’t expect any changes to the best iPhone rankings until the fall when the iPhone 15 models are likely to debut. Until then, Apple’s lineup is set — and that’s good news if you’re in the market for a new phone for Apple.
That’s because the models released last fall include some of the best iPhones Apple’s ever made. And even if you can’t afford the top-ranked iPhone 14 Pro Max, there are a number of other options at a variety of prices.
Our guide to the best iPhones can help you pick out the right model, as we turn to all the testing we’ve done on Apple’s phones to identify who should pick which version of Apple’s phones. If you’re weighing an iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 14 Pro decision, it’s a matter of deciding whether the Pro models’ more premium features are justified by their higher price. iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 14 Plus decisions come down to screen size preference and budget.
Of course, if it’s bargains you’re after, why not get an older iPhone? Apple has kept three models around at reduced prices — the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini — and they just might fit your needs without requiring you to pay out big bucks. And that’s before we even consider the least expensive phone in Apple’s lineup, the iPhone SE.
