Is this a trick question?



Left to right.

iPhone 3GS: Christmas 2011 to September 2012. Used as a backup to my then primary HTC Touch Pro so I could learn iOS.

iPhone 5: First, full purchase, pre-ordered and delivered on launch day iPhone. September 2011 to February 2015.

iPhone 6+: Last Sprint iPhone before switching to T-Mobile. February 2015 to late September 2015.

iPhone 6s+: Late September 2015 to May 2020.

iPhone 11 Pro Max (current iPhone): February 2021 to now.

Between the 6s+ and the 11 Pro Max was a Pixel 3a XL. But you only mentioned a history of iPhones.

Are moving from se fully to regular 17?

Trying to get se 2022 but don’t know where. Want to ditch 15 pro into the drawer, because i still can’t sleep missing apple pay touch id - face id wallet creates a lot of friction in my daily life.

I would compensate for se with ipad mini 7 for home use.

Lots of flip and bar phones before iPhone. My top favs were the stainless steel Nokia bar phone and the Motorola Razor flip phone. I also really like the Sony Clie PDA with the integrated 1.3Mpx camera.

I previously only had black phones because I didn't like the white bezels. Now they're minimal and black, I don't mind which colour I have really. It lives in a case and is rarely seen naked.

Here’s my list of owned iPhones:

2009: iPhone 3GS 16GB black
2012: iPhone 5 16GB black
2018: iPhone SE 128GB spacegray
2019: iPhone 7 128GB spacegray
2021: iPhone 13 mini 256GB red

Loved the 3GS, probably because it was my first iPhone. Didn’t like the 5 as much. It had quality issues, hat to service it twice under warranty.
Although the 7 was beautiful I didn‘t like it for some reason so I switched between it and the SE from time to time. Sold it eventually.
Love my 13 mini and will use it for another couple of years
