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😊
 
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.
 
I have all of my old phones still.. somewhere around here.

4S 16GB Space Grey
5S 32GB Gold
7 32 GB Space Grey
XS Max 256GB Space Grey
14 Pro 1TB Space Grey

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.

My primary phone is a 13 Pro

I have an SE as a work phone

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