Other Rank every iPhone you have owned

I’ve loved all my iPhones and have never had one that I dislike. That’s why I guess I am loyal to Apple.

1. SE1
2. 8
3. 12 Mini
4. 6S

To be honest, I cannot really separate them by much as there is next to no gap between #1 and #4. I have purely chosen the SE1 due to form factor and weight. The fact that you can experience iOS in full with such a small device that is usable with one hand is a technological marvel. I am still blown away that my tiny SE1 can run iOS 15 relatively well and do almost everything the latest iPhones can do.

The 8, 12 Mini and 6S are all incredible phones and all provided me with a near perfect user experience.

While I think Samsung phones look better, I am with Apple because of iOS. I’ve never used an operating system that’s so bug free, reliable and user friendly.

I keep all my iPhones in pristine condition as I use screen protectors and cases. All of my phones are placed back in their original boxes when retired and become part of my modest collection.

  20. Nokia E61
I generically really think newer is better, only the 4 I didn't like and I handed it back. Oh and my previous non-Apple smartphone was a Nokia E61. Horrible SW experience, but I kind of liked the hardware specs.
 
iPhone 4s, no Simm card, good used as a iPod, donated that 2 years ago
iPhone 12 mini, blue: great so far, July 2022
that all folks!
 
1. iPhone XR
2. iPhone 6 Plus
3. iPhone 4s
4. iPhone*

Between 2 and 3: Nokia Lumia Icon.
Between 3 and 4: Palm Pre 2




*That's what it was called in 2007, kids!
 
I myself don't own any iPhones (I don't find myself making any calls ever, somehow) but my grandma is *still* using an old iPhone 5 and my dad uses an iPhone 13 Pro that he got second hand for $200 (what a steal)
 
Original iphone about a year
iphone 5c about 5 years (decent phone for what it was)
iphone 7 about a month (poor reception compared to Android phones I had at the same time)
iphone Xr about 5 months (too big for my taste)
iphone Xs about a month (decided to go back to Android)
iphone 12 mini about a week (poor reception)
iphone 12 about 2 years (good phone)
iphone SE 2022 less than a month (not the greatest earpiece audio quality, poor battery life)
iphone 14 still own it since last fall (good phone, great battery life...the phone that the 12 should have been)
Plus about a dozen or so various Android phones
My favorite phones of all time -- 1 - one of my Blackberrys (I could actually type on that thing), 2 - a Motorola Startac (extremely reliable reception) and 3 - a Motorola flip phone which I don't remember the model of.

If I could have one phone, it would be a Blackberry flip phone with physical keyboard on one half, and a big enough screen to do what you can do with a smartphone screen on the other.
 
4s White - flat edges, glossy back, no camera bump, small size, white bezels
12 mini White - slight favorite over 13 mini, ++vertical camera arrangement
13 mini Starlight - current main
5s Gold/SE2016 - love the gold ring around the home button and its white bezels
13 Pro Silver - current backup phone, ++flat edges ++stainless steel
8 Silver - photo finish with 13 Pro, ++glossy back, ++white bezels, ++smaller camera hump
4 Black - retina for the first time
7 Gold - looked so much better than 6/6s
3G Black
11 Pro Silver - just another iPhone, --heavy, --matte frosted back
X Black
6 Gold - --prone to bending
5c White

1. iPhone 4 (first iphone, first touch display only smartphone, felt high quality, very nice looking compared against other phones)
2. iPhone 5 (lighter and it was cool to get 4G LTE)
3. Nexus 6P (for its time very futuristic and clean Android, too bad it had horrible unreliable battery just after 1 year)
4. Pixel 2 XL (loved the camera)
5. Pixel 3( junk returned it,)
6. iPhone 11 pro ( again fell in love camera and having both telephoto and wide angle camera drew me over Pixel 4)
7. Pixel 6a (still using iphone 11 pro, swap between two, wanted an additional phone as Android and backup, should had waited longer and went with Pixel 7 for sale, but it ain't too bad, love the features like built in screen calling and spam protection and prefer Google Assistant over Siri).

I was interested in upgrading to iphone 14 Pro but it lacks physical SIM tray that would be useful for int travel and getting the Google phone for fun and backup was more appealing to me.
 
14 PM worst ever im an android user the IOS is useless dull and full of glitches with no solution only HR no customized ring tones but via program with a 1.5 Gig of capacity rediculouse, no clipboard, ahell of simple options that any android has but it's a huge issue for IOS, my last Iphone waiting for S23 Ultra
 
1. iPhone 7 plus - it just felt so tight! The haptic feedback, the ios at the time, the camera! Amazing phone.

2. iPhone 4 - my first one! The finish of that phone, the glass. Almost a piece of jewellery. The size was also super compact, very cool phone.

3. iPhone 14 Pro Max - brand new, got it two days ago, but so far that battery life is ridiculously amazing and the 120hz screen is buttery smooth.

4. iPhone 12 - very tight design, I had the purple one. However the battery life let me down a few times in the last year.

5. iPhone 5 - my first phone that wasn’t a hand me down! The tall screen was quite revolutionary at the time. Very, very solid iPhone.

6. iPhone X - This actually could be number 4 or 5 purely for that wow factor of the new buttonless design.

7. iPhone 6 plus - loved the size, the fact that you could get the icons to move around in landscape mode, but it was kind of ugly, the back most of all.
 
My personal favorites have been the 8 Plus and the 11 Pro Max.

Sorry, that wasn't a full ranking, but these are the two that have stood out to me the most. I've been a bit underwhelmed by the 13 Pro. Part of that is due to software, but also due to my not liking the square edges and the stainless steel siding. To me the 8 Plus and the 11 Pro Max had the best of looks, feel, functionality, and software.
 
1. iPhone 11 Pro - space grey - great camera upgrade and battery at the time
2. iPhone 7 - Jet Black - stunning
3. iPhone 14 Pro - space black - current phone
4. iPhone 13 Pro - graphite
5. iPhone 12 Pro - silver
6. iPhone 5 - Slate
7. iPhone 4S - White
8. iPhone 5S - Gold
9. iPhone 4 - black
10. iPhone XS - silver
11. iPhone 6S - gold
12. iPhone 6 - space grey - garbage ram and design
13. iPhone 3GS - black
14. iPhone 3G - white
15. iPhone X - overpriced and garbage camera.
16. iPhone 2G
 
Only had two iPhone. But I’ll include my Android devices.

1. IPhone 12 Pro - Great camera and Good battery life Brilliant music playback through headphones.
2. IPhone 11- Good camera and great battery life, LCD screen not great
3. Samsung Galaxy S9 - Good camera, Gestures fantastic. Absolutely abysmal battery life.
4. HTC U11- Amazing music playback quality through included headphones, good camera and good battery life. Developed a charge port fault after 20 months.
5. Sony Xperia Z5 - A bit meh.
6. Samsung Galaxy A7 - Terrible, laggy phone got 20 seconds worth of light rain on it and it stopped working. Was a cheap replacement for number 7 phone.
7. HTC One M8- Great phone but killed it when it fell 150ft from 4th floor to basement at work on the stairs ☹️
8. HTC One X - Brilliant phone.
9. LG Optimus 4x good phone.
