The ULTIMATE iphone buyer’s guide

Everything you need to know to find the iphone that’s right for you!

Buying an iphone has never been more fun. Apple’s smartphones are the best in the business, marrying cutting-edge specs with great design and a user experience that is simply unparalleled. But in just over a decade, 21 different iphones have been released, and choosing the right one for your needs and budget is becoming harder and harder.

In September this year Apple made buying an iphone even more confusing. By announcing not one, not two but three new iphone models, it saturated its own market even more. The iphone XS and XS Max, the big brothers to last year’s iphone X, were joined in the world’s hottest phone lineup by iphone XR.

All three models have different screen sizes. All three have different technical specs. And all three come with different price points. More choice is of course great for consumers, but the ability of the average Joe to know which iphone is right for them is not as straightforward as it once was.

Thankfully, that’s where icreate comes in. We’ve done all the hard work for you, listing the pros and cons of each handset – all the way back to iphone 7, no less – to ensure your next purchase is perfect for what you need.

By the end of this feature you’ll understand more than ever on the differences between displays, processors, cameras, special features and much more. We’ll also discuss whether it’s best to buy outright or with a contract – standby for some great deals – and how to sell your old phone, plus the best accessories to pimp up your iphone experience.
