Picking a new iPhone feels like it should be simple. But like so many other modern problems (have you tried simply choosing something to watch on TV lately \u2014 <\/em>an impossible task) it\u2019s a little more complicated than it seems. Counting previous models that are still hanging around, along with all the Pros and Pluses and Maxes, Apple currently sells eight<\/em> different iPhone models on its website. Eight! It\u2019s almost as confusing as trying to buy an iPad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But fear not; there\u2019s help. After plenty of thorough testing, day-to-day use, and many blue chat bubbles, I\u2019m here to help you navigate Apple\u2019s extensive product catalog. Whether you want an iPhone that will get through two days on a single battery charge, one that truly fits in your pocket, or the least expensive iPhone you can buy, we\u2019ve got recommendations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Best iPhone for most people<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right. If you\u2019re buying an iPhone in early 2023, the smartest choice might just be 2021\u2019s iPhone 13. This is especially true if you\u2019re paying some or all of the cost out of pocket and not getting an \u201ciPhone on us\u201d carrier deal. If you want the very<\/em> latest and greatest, then it\u2019s worth skipping up to the 14 Pro or Pro Max \u2014 more on that below. But the regular iPhone 14 is such a minor update to the 13 that you might as well save an extra $100 and just go with the (still excellent) previous-gen model.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the iPhone 13, you still get an Apple A15 Bionic chipset, a 6.1-inch OLED screen, wireless charging via MagSafe, and an IP68 rating. Opting for the iPhone 14 gets you a slightly upgraded camera and a version of the A15 with an extra GPU core<\/a> plus a new satellite SOS feature that will let you message emergency services even when you\u2019re out of cell range. Nice, but is that all an extra $100 nice? That\u2019s up to you: on a 36-month payment plan, it doesn\u2019t add up to much more on your monthly bill \u2014 only about $3. If you\u2019re paying upfront, though, it might feel better to keep that extra cash in your wallet. You can use it to buy something nice, like a few dozen eggs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As it is, the iPhone 13 is plenty fast for most people, takes generally great photos and video, and will keep receiving OS updates well into the foreseeable future thanks to Apple\u2019s habit of supporting devices with new iOS versions for upward of five or six years<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
