I was working with a 6S Plus, and the best I could afford when I upgraded was the XS. At the same time, I upgraded my daughter's 6S to the SE 2nd gen.

Still using an iPhone XS. The phone is great! Got the battery replaced by apple around 4 months ago and it lasts through the day. Definitely not the best phone but for the price I paid I am happy with it. The camera is good and iOS 16 runs very well on this phone. Still feels very modern. Would definitely recommend a battery replacement as it would breathe new life into an old phone

9:00 yessir iPhone 11 supremacy! Got mine in 2020 and still rocking with it going into 2023! Definitely a phone that holds value if you don't care to have the absolute latest-and-greatest since its still receiving iOS updates and runs the software rather well

Great advice and great choice of music.
Whenever I hear HOME’s music In a video, it’s usually a very good video.

In January ‘22, I upgraded from iPhone 7 to XS. Meanwhile, my kids went from iPhone X to 13 Pro. Personally, I'm not a fan of the shape or weight of their phone. I'm very happy with all the XS' features, and made a conscious decision to get it rather than the year before's X - the XR was never in the running for me, due to its lower specification. Have to say, I'll probably stay with XS til Apple stop giving it the latest IOS.

Thanks! Very helpfull! I went "used" 3 phones ago I think, and havent looked back since.

I got a iPhone 12 Pro Max for $397 at a local used tech store near me. It had no scratches and 91% battery health, I would recommend not just looking online but also going to computer shops. I bought the phone in December 2022 and am very happy

Got a refurbished SE for just around $40, had 100% batt capacity and the touch ID working. Pretty worth having considering I love the design and the small form factor. I don't mind it having it stuck on iOS 15 cause it still feels blazingly fast regardless!

I recently got myself the 7 Plus for work, even though it doesn’t have wireless charging, which is a little annoying, considering that my main phone has it, i can at least count on it’s solid aluminum body to take a hit. Besides that, the large screen, in combination with 3D Touch, is great for emails and documents, just the battery life is absolutely abysmal, despite the bat being new.

Just recently switched from the XR to 14 Pro Max and as much as I can honestly say I miss the XR I’m still glad I switched.

I got the iPhone 7 because I got it free and I wanted to try out iPhone after using android for 10 years. It has honestly surprised me after going from an android phone from 2020. I'll definitely be upgrading to a newer iphone at some point but this works fine for now.

I just copped an iPhone 12 mini refurbished 128 GB unlocked in the product red colorway for just $290. I absolutely love it.

Currently using the SE 2020 with my 6s serving as a backup. Just got a new battery in the SE and it feels like it did the day I got it. Great phone but I’m thinking of moving to the 11 pro just for the camera and better display

[JasonJrake]

Great info, thanks!

The gen 1 SE makes great "ipod touch" since it has a headphone jack and 128gb of storage for around $100.00.

I prefer android devices overall for that use case thanks to microSD cards, but my favorite podcast/media player is iOS only, so it's $100.00 well spent (and the thing is so tiny compared to even "small" android devices).

[DJTydalOfficial]

I just upgraded to the iPhone 12 Mini with 128GB of storage, Unlocked, and in Product RED all for $299 and I absolutely love it.

[minnybiker]

I currently have a 6 for work and need to replace it. Biggest need is as many years of iOS updates possible for the money. Seems the SE Gen 3 is the best for that criteria?

[geneseetrainselevators]

I’m thinking of doing a monthly payment plan for a 14 Pro Max. Tried saving up so much a week but shots been getting so expensive lmao.
