Other Current iPhone Thread… what iPhone are you using?

That makes sense. I personally can't help myself!

I am different kind of annual upgraders. I only buy iPhone that is about two or three years old.

That means I have used every single iPhone, up to iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The reason behind is that I never think iPhone worth the retail price and I won’t want to pay retail price at all. The two years old iPhone brought significant savings.

Maybe I will finally get iPhone 15 Pro Max next year
 
13 Pro. Just had a fresh battery installed at the Genius Bar 2 days ago. Still perfect for my use (wish it had USB-C, but oh well).
 
Just got the regular 15 in green. I was originally going to go for a 16, but none of the new proposed features convinced me, and seeing the 15 line colours in person, I couldn’t help myself. Coming from an SE2 I’m super happy with it so far!

Unless you just want the green iPhone, iPhone 14 Pro would be better choice, especially if you find deals on used market.

I got iPhone 14 Pro Max for less than $500 when I sold iPhone 13 for about $400CAD. iPhone 14 Pro and 15 uses same chips, it but has ProMotion screen, better camera system etc.

My first iPhone and my favorite iPhone design.

Touch ID felt so futuristic when it came out on the iPhone 5S

I loved the black iPhone 5… but I didn’t have money to buy as I just brought the iPhone 4S with three years contract back then. Then I went to purchase blue iPhone 5C three years down the road (16GB, I didn’t know how I survived with 16GB for so long).

Tbh I’ve found my new 15 worth it for the switch to USB-C alone, considering I live in the EU and most of the devices I own/being sold are also on it.
 
I'm still using my 12 mini. I loved the 16 pro, but I had to return it - way too heavy and cumbersome for me. My next phone, hopefully, will be an iPhone 17 (if the standard finally gets ProMotion), or an iPhone 17 slim if there is such a thing.

That’s true. I just came back from vacation and I forgot to bring my lightning cable, whereas I brought several usb-c cable. I have to drive 20 min to nearest store for a lightning cable.

Call me stupid.

I upgraded my iPhone 14 in midnight to a teal colour 16 on launch day.

I must say I don't detect a huge difference in performance (although I am enjoying iOS 18) but the 16 is a real joy to hold, where the 14 felt hard and slippery. Now, I can occasionally go case-less, which is a treat :)
 
Had the 15 Pro, got the 16 Pro Max and now I’m back on 15 Pro after returning the 16PM. Size, weight & spec are still perfect for me.

Same goes with the 13, both the 13 and 14 are made the same way on the outside. But a iPhone 14 would be easier to replace the back glass given its rear chassis has clips instead of adhesive.

I’m currently using my SE 2020, upgraded from my 7 after it got stuck in an eternal boot loop. Hoping to upgrade to a 13 or 14 (base or Pro) or a SE 4, if it did exist.

Still using the SE 2020 a year later! :)

I still like it and it still works amazingly but because of my hands are becoming bigger and bigger as time went on, typing on it is genuinely frustrating. Even playing PUBG on it is kinda difficult.

I do realize this will be the last year the SE 2 would get any major updates. Obviously it’ll still work after September 2026 with the security updates but we’ll see how long my SE is willing to stick around.

Also I love the Otterbox case actually. I dropped my SE a lot lately and luckily the screen didn’t crack and I don’t think the back is damaged either. Surprised me since I often hear Otterbox’s reputation is going down the drain in recent years.

Oh, I realized I should’ve mentioned my iPhone history here.

Let’s see:
- iPhone 7 (gifted on Christmas in December 2019, died in February 2022)
- iPhone 4 (friend gave it to me among other old phones in around January 2020, still in my cabinet; not exactly my main phone though but do fiddle with it occasionally)
- iPhone SE 2020 (currently my main phone since early June 2022)

Yes I used iPad and iPhones before but those are someone else’s who let me used them for a bit so they don’t really count. I think my first time using iOS is around 2013/2014ish when my oldest sister (she’s two years younger than me though but she is my first sister, hence the oldest part) got an iPhone 4 or 4S.

Not gonna mention my whole history of iPhones or smartphones in general, but I really love my 16 PM and I expect to hold on to it for years to come. And the black titanium is just gorgeous. Since I always end up using my phones without a case I don’t notice much difference when it comes to size or weight. I had (still have it) a 12 Mini and later a 15 Plus, but the improvement in camera technology makes the 16 PM so much better. It’s the first time I’ve bought a Pro Max, but it does everything I need and more. Also, titanium is so much better than aluminium, imo, and I don’t experience any heat issues at all.

Same y’all… I got a white iPhone XR and using an iPhone 11 clear case on it as stores do not sell them for the XR anymore. What color is your iPhone?

Contemplating buying the natural or blue titanium iPhone 15 Pro or a purple iPhone 14 Pro Max… depending on available deals.

Y’all will update. Blue titanium iPhone 15 Pro staying strong since January 2025 !
