I know several people have multiple phones. If you do, how many iPhones do you have and how often do you use them? I have the 15 pro but want to get a 15 to try out since everyone says it’s so light.

I have a regular 13 as my daily driver and I also use a 6S as a secondary phone at home, just for web-browsing, media & music.

I’ve kept my other older phones in their original boxes & have an OGSE and 8 in the cupboard.

I wouldn’t have 2 daily drivers if that’s what you’re asking. I do have a work phone however it’s a Samsung.

I used to keep my previous years phone as an emergency spare but now trade it in every year on the new ProMax.

If something happens to my current phone, I can always buy another at the local Apple Store and be back up and running in an hour or so.

Yes that’s what’s I do also. As you say easy to restore to another new i phone if needed as long as you have a regular back up regime

I only have 1 iPhone, but I think I have 3 phones total. A Galaxy S23 as a backup phone on another line, and an older Motorola that is unused and I should just turn in for recycling.

Two. Personal 13 Pro and a Work SE 2022. I could use one, but it would require an MDM profile installed on the personal, so I opt for the company phone.

Personally…7.

Both my primary and secondary phones have active lines.

1) iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17, primary iPhone - used every day.
2) iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15, secondary iPhone - used every day if I go walking or do not want to risk using my 11 PM.
3) iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12, used a few times a day. Sits in front of my keyboard and I use it to text when too lazy to reach over and use my 11PM.
4) iPhone 5, iOS 10, used every one in a while, usually when I need to check that an app will still work.
5) iPhone 4s, iOS 9, off right now. Used infrequently.
6) iPhone 4, iOS 7 jailbroken, off right now. Used infrequently.
7) iPhone 3GS, iOS 6, off right now. Used infrequently.

Additionally, I have an iPhone 6s which was my wife's first. Given to my daughter she managed to crack the screen and trash the battery. Still works, just haven't decided what I am going to do with it.

Finally, there is my wife's old iPhone 5 in the garage. I gave that to my daughter before the 6s. Battery started swelling and I've had it out there waiting for the swelling to go down. Been a couple years.

I have one, or I actually have two but one is for sale because I got a new one. 15 pro and 14. I usually don't have a backup phone and I never needed it, but the idea of breaking my phone and not have a backup is horrible. But since I never needed it I think I'll be fine. I hope.

I only have 1 iPhone 15 pro max. In the past, I had several but burdened with high maintenance to keep them updated. So, I sold all. My preference is to keep life as simple and low maintenance as possible. Keep calm, have simple life, stress free and be happy.😊 Life is too simple to have complicated and stressful life😊

15 pro max. Hope to get a regular 15 for situations I need smaller -

Currently, I have three at home, a 13 mini, an SE 1st gen, and a 3GS. My eldest daughter has borrowed another SE 1st gen (but now uses her own new 13).

An OG iPhone SE (this seems like a trend on the thread, although mine is bricked), my old iPhone 8 which my mom is now using as her mobile phone, and my new iPhone SE 3, which is my main -and only- smartphone.

I’ve had the iPhone 4 and 4S (loved this one) but I ended up selling them.

Two. An iPhone 13 Pro, which is the best iPhone I've ever had, and an iPhone 11 Pro Max, which I now use as an iPod.

I have a 13 Mini now, which has become my main internet phone thing. My 6S is still my favourite, but it's mainly an iPod now. And I still have my old 4, but I haven't thought of any way to use it these days.

Every iPhone that’s been released, back in their boxes complete with provided cables & chargers (never used), all internal wrappings & Apple decals. Currently rocking the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

yeah, I know, anal.
You should just have answered “Yes”.

Technically I presently have two: my current iPhone 14 and my old iPhone 8+ which has been reset with SIM removed. Mostly likely I will sell the 8+ when I get around to it. I still have the original box and accessories and the phone is in mint condition will 84% battery.

I have three: my iPhone 12 Pro, a company iPhone 11, and my previous iPhone 7. The 7 has no service, it's just used as a tiny iPad/Wifi.

I have an SE as a work phone

I have an SE as a phone to use with a drone
