My vote is iPhone 8 Plus.
You don't want a X or XS and the 11 is getting more expensive

Depends on your budget.

Maybe an iPhone XS Max or 11 Pro Max. I'd personally go with a power seller on eBay with a good reputation and real photos. Then looks for one advertised with 100% battery. So you won't have to water money on any refurbishment or battery replacement.

Not sure if it's good decorum to plug a specific eBay seller. But I keep using thegizmotrader on eBay for phones. Been going back to that sellers for years now. They aren't the cheapest but I haven't been unhappy with a purchase as they provide detailed photos and specifically mention when a battery is in perfect health.

What carrier are you on? If it's T Mobile in the US, I'd recommend an 8+ (I think they made a + model that year). I had a 7 and an 8 and the 8 added band 66 which filled in a lot holes in their coverage. fOr Cours later models added in band 71, and that gives even better coverage, but the 8 was good enough for me.

I'd recommend that you check your carriers bands and see if any of the more recent phones added those bands. If so, it will likely make a big difference in your usage.

Yes an iPhone 8 Plus will be familiar with a lot of power under the hood.
