The ultimate iPhone buyer’s guide

Looking to upgrade your iPhone? Here are 8 important things to consider before you buy

- Written by Alex Blake

With new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus models becoming available, and the 10th anniversar­y iPhone X up for grabs as well, Apple clearly wants you to upgrade your phone. But it’s also done a curious thing: it’s still letting you buy a fair amount of older iPhone models, instead of phasing them out. We’d expect the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus to still be on sale on Apple’s website and in Apple Stores, and they are; they were only released last year, of course. But the range of available models goes back further than that. The SE, 6s and 6s Plus are all still there, waiting to be purchased. That’s great if you want to save a bit of cash, but it also

makes for a confusingl­y large array of phones to choose from. There’s now a multitude of different model numbers, sizes and features to filter through.

That’s where MacFormat comes in. Over the next few pages, we’ll take a look at some of the more important factors when it comes to choosing the right phone for you. How much storage space do you need? Do you want a fancy high-tech camera? Do you need Face ID, Portrait Lighting and the other new features in the iPhone X? We’ll take a detailed look at these issues and more in order to help you decide which iPhone is right for you, and which features you can do without.

Comparison­s made easy

We’ve also included a handy table comparing all the important features from all of the iPhones you can get from Apple right now.

And don’t forget to head to the back of the magazine to see all of Apple’s products in our detailed Store Guide. For now though, let’s help you decide on your next iPhone.
