Which iPhone models make sense to buy at the end of 2023? First of all, according to the blogger, you should definitely not buy iPhone models that have not received the latest system updates. That is, iOS 17. This version of the operating system has been installed on iPhones since the XR. Accordingly, there is no point in buying the first generation iPhone SE.
When you buy a second generation iPhone SE for 15 thousand rubles, you will receive updates for a while. But you will also get an old design and a weak battery. The same goes for the third-generation iPhone SE: it doesn’t differ much from the second-generation model – it just has a more powerful processor.
iPhone XR, XS are still receiving updates. But they will most likely stop in the fall of 2024. So iOS 18 will no longer be installed on them. You shouldn’t trust the iPhone X and XS Max too much.
As for the iPhone 11, there is no doubt that you can buy it even if it is used. You can spend another 2-3 years this way. It will most likely get iOS 18.
You can also get iPhone 12 Mini, 11 Pro. But there are very few left on the market. iPhone 12 is definitely worth buying, as it will be relevant for a long time. It also scores more than a million points on AnTuTu.
It is also better to buy the iPhone 13 instead of the 12 Pro Max. Now this is generally the best iPhone you can buy in 2023: it will be updated for a long time and is not much worse than the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15. iPhone 13 Pro would also be an excellent option.
The iPhone 14 Plus has excellent battery life and a not-too-high price. There is no point in buying a regular iPhone 14 as it is almost an exact copy of the iPhone 13. You can also look at the 14 Pro or Pro Max.
If you want the latest iPhone, consider the titanium 15 Pro with a triple camera, better zoom, and an A17 Pro processor. True, the Pro version now costs more than 100 thousand rubles.
