My newest, which is the X. I bought it when it came out and intend on keeping it until the wheels fall off.

Before that, I'd only owned two other iPhones that I had and kept for ages-- a 4S, which my first smartphone (had it from ~sophomore year in high school til sophomore year in college), and then a 5C (which I had until my first job after graduation).

It sounds crazy, but I upgrade computers with more frequency than I change phones.

I barely know the difference between the original and the 12Pro Max besides speed and size.

I liked the 5 (I think?) with the glass back. If they made that for the 12 or whatever “X” name it’s called, that’d look nice.

I know a lot of people used to shatter the back though when that was the newest iPhone.

I really loved my 7+ till I cracked the screen, I have the 12 now but if we talkin favs that was my fav. The worst?? Idk I feel like all of the iPhones I ever had was always in season or current technology so I can't say any of them were particularly bad.

Still got my X too. It’s pointless to keep upgrading every year when all they change is the camera quality.

I still have my 8 Plus because I don't wanna let go of the home button. So it's my favorite. The worst was the 6 Plus because that was the one that had that defect with the screen. That sh!t was a nightmare.

it was my 6 plus, but now my banking app done said that the app only support i0s 14 above ( meaning I need a 6s or above) so I can't mobile check deposit into that account anymore.

It’s the 7 plus Rose Gold 256GB for ME. It’s the only one Ive kept and still use today (music, photos, video and notes storage). All the other have been traded in for the lastest model.

i liked my 8 tbh and my 5 because it was smaller and fit my small hands perfectly
i miss the thumb unlock function and i like it better that face id esp because of masks
i traded my 8 for the Xr and the only difference was the face thing smh
i'm keeping my Xr tho, i got it 19 and its still perfect
i mightttt trade it in when the newest iphone comes out for 12

i'm all about aesthetics lol so i'm sticking with my rose-gold 8 plus until it falls apart in my hand. It's the prettiest model out by far and like someone said above it's the last phone with the beloved home button

I stood in line when the 6 dropped for 120Gs of storage WITHOUT SHAME.

My XS max is bomb. Won’t upgrade until I can’t use it anymore

Me too!

I had it in my hand.... 1st grader saw it and said....

Miss SugahPlum why is your phone so small?


I said my hands are small. lmao.


I was planning to upgrade but what's the point? It's working fine.

The next thing I'm going to buy at Apple store is Apple watch SE.

I don’t think I keep my iPhones long enough to be able to tell which one was the best. The only iPhone I kept longer than a year was my 7.

I’m using the 12 pro max now and I absolutely love it. It’s a monster of a phone but I foresee myself keeping it for a long time.

The 6s was my favorite and I held onto it as long as I could. Eventually traded it out for an 11 when it started slowing down and became problematic.

Great thread, OP.

I got the iphone 4 back in 1st quarter 2011 I believe. I liked it as it was my first iphone. I had so much music on it that I didn't have to buy.

When the iphone 5 came out, I wasn't impressed because it was the exact same phone, just slightly larger. I did not upgrade. I had the 5plus as a work phone though from a past job. No different than the 4.

I upgraded to the iphone 6 plus in December of 2015, and that was nice because the screen was huge. I liked watching Ms. Youtube on it. 4 years later, I dropped the phone in sweet and sour sauce, and the speaker wasn't working right after that. Also, I only had 16GB, and these apps use a lot of space and that "other" category takes up a lot of room, and it's hard to delete the data when you don't what it is. That's wack on Apple's part. It's basically strong arming us into getting more data.

I upgraded to the iphone 11 in september 2019 only because of the sweet and sour 6plus incident. I like the 11. I didn't need the 3 cameras in the back. That is just a cheap excuse to charge more money. Why get the most expense option when all the 11's do the same thing in essence? Anyway, I will keep this 11 as long I don't drop it or damage it in any way.

The 6s Plus was easily the most solid experience Apple put out considering the time it came out. It’s still pretty usable today, actually.

My XS Max is amazing though, it feels like the “sequel” to the 6s+ if that makes any sense lol

I wish I had kept my iPhone XS MAx. The iPhone 12 Pro Max still has too many kinks to work out. I had a hard time connecting my phone to my car...amongst other annoying glitches...
