Other What was your *best* iPhone?

[sierramist]

What iPhone stood out to you the most, and why?

Just curious

I had only 5S, 6S, X and 12 PM. The biggest jump was the X, which was really a complete revolution for me. Bigger screen, FaceID, wireless charging, etc. I was so amazed the first time I received it. Still a very good phone today, minus the battery life. The other phones were more of an evolution than revolution.

For me 5S, 6S and my current X. All have been outstanding so it's hard to choose the best.

 

[Globug]

I loved my 5s the best.

I’ve had the 3GS, 4s,5s,7, 8, and 13 pro.


I think I love the form factor and flat edges the best.

The 7 actually repulsed me and the 8 felt better. The 13pro feels amazing.

Nothing could replace the very first iPhone for me. Boy was that something! But since then? It would have to be the 4s. The form factor, build quality and screen were just perfect. And now, the 13 Pro reminds me of that phone more than any Apple has made. And since it is VASTLY improved in every way I can think of, it may yet be my new favorite. I love how much it reminds me of my trusty 4s.

Original SE, then the 5s. Loved the size, the design, use of materials etc.

iPhone X

Nothing will ever replace the first iPhone experience for me, the iPhone 5s.

As flawless as my iPhone 13 pro max has been so far, the sheer joy of using an iOS for the first time after 5 years of strictly android devices was a breath of fresh air. It was also the year I started dating my girlfriend (wife in current day). We were able to travel everywhere while filling up the phone with photos together. Just a happy moment in our lives.

Has to be this one the 13 pro for sure!!

I really enjoyed the very first generation when it came out back then, although not comparable to today’s cool devices.

My blue 5c. It was my first iPhone and the color was beautiful. Next favorite was the jet black 7 Plus. I still have them.

 

[Bodhitree]

Yeah for me it was also the iPhone 3G, the first one I owned. It replaced the iPod and the Motorola phone that I used to carry everywhere, and did a whole lot more besides. What an amazing device.

The iPhone 13 Pro that I carry now is many times faster and has far superior cameras and battery life, but in essence it is still the same vision.

I came to the iPhone when Jobs announced the “iPhone 4”, I left Nokia behind and never looked back, since then I have had a few iPhones (4, 4s, 5, 6, 6s, 7, XS, 11Pro and 13 Pro).
to date my favourite was the 4 because you never forget your first iPhone experience.

 

[Abazigal]

6S+. Big screen, 2gb ram and A9x was plenty fast, camera was great, battery life was good, felt like it answered most of what I really needed in a smartphone.

Since I started with the 4, best upgrade to me was from the 8+ to the X. The design change, less bezels and no home button specifically, we’re worth the upgrade alone. Not to mention the Face ID and wireless charging. After that, the 12 because I love MagSafe

My blue 5c. It was my first iPhone and the color was beautiful. Next favorite was the jet black 7 Plus. I still have them.

The 5c felt great in hand. I loved my white one with its black screen - great contrasting look.

 

[mrgvd]

First one for me iphone 2g still got it,

 

[arfbsantoso]

My 5S for design and materials and my current 7.

 

[myllian]

The iPhone X was my favorite so far (had the 4S, 6 and 7, now 12Pro). I just liked the design and it seems it was the last time apple was able to get their hands on good OLED screens.

 

[Bethanie21]

I’ve had 4S, 5S, 6S, 8, 11 Pro and now the 13 Pro. My favourite is probably the 13 Pro for obvious reasons but the 11 Pro comes close. It was my first chin and forehead-less iPhone and I remember being wowed by it when I got it on launch day. It performed like a champ too

 

[99 others]

the 11pro max. Very happy with it.

 

[MrKennedy]

iPhone 5/5S for me. I had the 3GS and 4S previously, and the slightly taller screen was a game changer (for ios people!). The chamfered edges, while easily damaged, was a nice touch that I think could still look good on the new 12/13 body style.

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

I can't decide so it's a split for me: the original I got in February of '08 and my current 13 Pro. I remember how fascinated I was when I saw the iPhone for the first time. A buddy let me use it for a few minutes, text myself, load a webpage, etc. I was smitten and that's when my love for mobile tech was born. I went out straight away and bought one for myself and one for my girlfriend.

I've had every model since and the 13 Pro has been the closest I've come to that feeling. The earpiece moving up to the frame, the VRR screen, the battery life, the crazy 5G speeds... I'm just blown away.

iPhone X hands down.. I loved gesture navigation!

 

[Bobout]

For me is my 13PM but the X and the 5s is a close second… I think Apple crushed it this year ..
