Mastering the Ultimate iPhone: A Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing the Right Apple Smartphone for You
The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right iPhone 16: A Comprehensive Review
As the curtains close on a month since Apple’s latest iPhone lineup, we’re left with a deluge of questions: which iPhone is best for me, and which one should I upgrade to? With this concise guide, we’ll dissect the differences between the four new iPhones, as well as the previous-generation models, to help you make an informed decision.
Disclaimer: Apple Intelligence
Apple has touted the iPhone 16 series as the "first iPhones designed from the ground up for Apple Intelligence", but this feature is still under wraps until its expected launch in October. Until then, we can’t recommend an iPhone purchase based on its future AI capabilities.
iPhone 16: A Compelling All-Rounder
The iPhone 16 is an excellent all-rounder, packed with the A18 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and a 6.1-inch OLED display. This device is our pick for the best iPhone for most people, offering the perfect balance between price and performance. The addition of the Camera Control button and Action button inherited from the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models adds a layer of customization and flexibility.
iPhone 13: A Secret Gem
The iPhone 13 is a discontinued yet still readily available model, offering a 6.1-inch OLED display, A15 Bionic chipset, and 4GB of RAM. Its $429 starting price tag makes it an attractive option for those seeking a budget-friendly yet capable iPhone. While it lacks the latest and greatest features, the iPhone 13’s spec sheet is remarkably similar to its follow-up, the iPhone 14.
iPhone SE: A Budget-Friendly Nostalgia
For the budget-conscious, the iPhone SE remains the cheapest iPhone available, with a 4.7-inch screen, 12MP main camera, and A15 Bionic chipset. It’s our top pick for the best budget iPhone, offering an excellent balance between price and performance.
iPhone 14 Plus: A Cheaper Big Screen
The iPhone 14 Plus is a more affordable option for those seeking a large screen, sporting a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, but without the same level of customization as the iPhone 16. If you’re set on a big-screen iPhone, the 14 Plus is a good choice, but keep in mind that there’s no older model to buy for a better deal.
Now that you’ve explored the ins and outs of each iPhone model, it’s time to make your choice. Will you opt for the all-new iPhone 16, the secret gem that is the iPhone 13, or the budget-friendly nostalgia that is the iPhone SE? Read on to discover which iPhone is best for you.
