The iPhone 11 is still rocking just fine. Definitely less issues than the 12s. Not as long as battery life. But I work at a repair shop. And iPhone 11’s are the most common to come in to be fixed.

[@TimpossibleOne]

The SE3 had the A15 chip that came with the iPhone 13 which makes it smarter and faster than the iPhone XR and 11 and gives it at least 3 more years of updates. If you're going to put the XR and 11 on this list then you have to include the XS/Max and SE2. All of these phones(XR, XS/Max, 11 & SE2) are on the chopping block of not getting new updates. Your best bets are to select from the 12s, 13s and newer (the 11 Pros are a toss-up. Take them or leave them)

[@jenjoestar.]

[@MissionControlTet]

For me standard 13 is the one most make sense among them all, it has decent battery upgrade from 12 and very similar to 14 but cheaper. I'll only recommend 12 and 14 if they have $80 price difference from 13 with same storage. Also 13 Pro (smaller one) is way more make sense than 12 Pro Max, it has better cameras, better battery, brighter display and most importantly 120Hz refresh rate. 13 Pro is at least worth $110 more than 12 Pro Max in same storage

[@Alice_was-here_1999]

That’s what I got today (standard 13)

[@HoldTheDark-o8e]

The 13 Pro is a great phone. I’ve had it for the past three years since new and I don’t plan on getting rid of it any time soon. Better battery life than the 14 series and more durable than both the 14 and 15 lineup. It was rated as one of the most durable iPhones ever built based on drop tests and overall build quality. dropped and has been in ocean, pool and lake water and it still looks mint when I take off the case.

[@pug_63]

I upgraded to a 13 Mini in January this year, and I absolutely love it. It has the same footprint as my iPhone 7 which, at the time, wasn't considered "Mini". I was able to get a mint condition 13 Mini in Product Red, with 100% battery. At the time, the Amazon Apple Store still had new ones on sale, but pink was the only colour still in stock. I'm not a fan of full cases, and I don't want to hide the gorgeous red, so use a bumper and Mag Safe grip. l've got a MagSafe battery bank that I also use as a stand to trigger Standby Mode. I use an iPad Mini too, and am impatiently waiting for its upgrade. I was hoping Apple might use the 13 Mini frame for the next SE. If the company thinks we don't want Mini iPhones/iPads, it is VERY wrong. Thanks for the content.

[@jamescollins408]

Agreed iPhone 13 mini is great. Next iPhone SE should use 13 mini case/chassis.

[@Swarailiaball]

100% agreed. Just got a 13 mini too from a 5S (yea im kinda broke). Saw a good listing from ebay at $270 and i couldnt resist upgrading. Arrived really quick with 89% battery health. I think the small screen is really good in my use case as being able to hold it with one hand is a godsend for school. we can really only hope that the se 4 uses the 13 mini case or that there is a 16 mini, though apple really disappoints sometimes.

[@Conniestitution]

Almost exact same situation here. I love my mini. Got a 128GB 13 mini a year ago from eBay, the battery health was 96% and it was in really good condition (a couple of nicks to the colour on the side, but who cares, a case covers that anyway). Product Red too, love it - I really like the purple they did on the 12 mini, and the mint is lovely, but red is in my top 3. I am genuinely really sad that there aren't any small flagship devices anymore. I have small hands, the mini is already the biggest phone I've ever had and it's the absolute LIMIT of what I'm able to hold and use comfortably. Any bigger of a screen and I can't hold it one handed and open control panel! I know they don't sell incredibly well but... introduce a mini every 2 years, at least? I'd take it. I am going to be clinging onto this thing for years, I think. The battery health is already down a fair bit but my screen time is to blame - hoping to get a replacement within the next year and then keep it going as long as I can. Fingers crossed...

[@miuletzmitzu6641]

I had the iphone 13 mini, and I absolutely loved it. Used it for around 2 years, but having only x5 camera zoom was too much of a dealbreaker for me to stay. Im a college student, sometimes I need to take pictures of the teachers' slides douring courses as they dont always post them. Even if I were to sit in front, the pictures were shit. If they release something that has the size of the iphone 13 mini, but with at least x10 zoom (preferably x20), I'll switch back in an instant. Battery life was a bit of a struggle too. I have around 3h screentime on average and it easily lasted me through the day, but I'd have to charge it when I got home at night. Meanwhile the Samsung S23 I switched to needs to be charged once every 2-3 days. 120hz display would be nice too, but I think I'm asking a bit too much at that size and with that battery.

For regular iphones 12 and 13 are the best value for money iphones ever released.

Nobody should buy anything lower than iphone 11 pro. 11 pro has everything great except 5G connectivity . Surprisingly it's battery life is better than 12 series. My choice iphone 12 pro. It's a perfect balance of everything one needs in day to day life. Just wish it was 120HZ display but i think that could have made it's battery life worse. And if i am buying renewed I will never go for standard models, that's why 12 pro. Just avoid all se models at all cost. They are cheap but also they are not much of a good deal.

@@theapplepig2656 I agree. The 13 series was probably the best Apple has made from top to bottom. Very strong generation for sure.

Thank you, good video. I was already pretty much decided on a second hand SE (2022], mainly because it is still in production and even second hand the unit will be no more than 2 years old so the support should last for quite a few years. I will be upgrading from a (second hand, owned by me 3 years) iPhone 7. My younger son will inherit the SE when I eventually upgrade from it in the future so it feels like a decent investment.

You missed the Minis. Specially the 13 is a good deal if you want a little bit smaller phone. (I think people in the market for that kind of phone don't expect to much battery and it is good for the size.) On the other hand no mention of the Plus models either.

[@TechDaily]

The Minis were tough for me to recommend because of the battery life and the few accessories (cases, etc.) I don't hate them, but I think they just appeal to so few people now unfortunately too.

[@mickburek3202]

What about the current iPhone SE? I daily drive the SE (2020) and I still like it. Good screen even though it's not an OLED, my battery lasts me all day at least as long as I'm sensible, I like having the home button. Dunno what the current SE is like, but you didn't include it.

@@TechDaily 13 mini works fine for me, I love it, bought it 2nd hand with 85% battery in sept. '23 and it is still at 85%,. For heavy use days I charge to 100% (to avoid excessive battery wear, I normally charge to 80% only and avoid discharging to less than 20%) and bring an Apple Magsafe battery pack. Works for me, love the small size, this phone is so much better than the 2nd gen SE you recommended, also when it comes to battery life.

Agree with your choices for phones. Also, the XR breaks easily. I had two and they smashed up. I had the 11 Pro Max and it was the best iPhone I had. Did have the 12 and 14 pro, the 12 is great. I’ve had my 15 plus for over a year and am not switching. It works just fine. Battery is good. If I wanted to ever downgrade I’d get the 12 or the SE.
