Whats the main 5 things you use them the most?

For me...
1. Music- gym, running, driving, etc
2. Photos
3. Calls/texts
4. Browsing/emails
5. Social media(only use FB, Twitter and Whatsapp)

I hardly watch vids, and I dont play mobile games anymore.
 
Internet
Texting
Photos
Email
Calls
YouTube
GPS

I to do not game at all, so that is why I got the iPhone 8+ And turned in my iPhone X to save a few bucks until next year when it gets wider. 😉 Why go to a new form factor just to use it the way I do and getting the teething problems.

These days (it's always changing depends on situation) the 5 things i mostly use it for would be -

- Texting \ Messaging
- Phone Calls
- Quick browsing \ Email checking \ info on the go
- Lists & Reminders
- Weather forecast

As well as (once in awhile) -

- Camera
- Music player
- GPS \ Maps
- One casual game for killing some time… 😀

The interested part would be which phone you’re using for these tasks, for me it's the SE.

Why did you redirect this thread into _another_ this-iphone-vs-that-iphone? The question was a simple Top 5 Uses ...
