One of the best things about iPhones is that the range is so vast there really is a model for everyone. So the real question is, which of the sleek and iconic iPhones is the right one for you? You can check out the whole range at Loop Mobile, or scroll down to see our recommendations.

How to choose the best iPhone type

When determining the best iPhone for you, it’s best to start with how you want to use your iPhone. Apple has created a range that varies in size, memory, camera, and display. So whether you want to start a budding photography/videography career, or if you’re always running out of space because you’re all about the apps, there’s a model that can cater to your needs. 

The best part is that no matter which model you choose, you will still have all the advantages of Apple’s operating system and the beautiful design that goes into every iPhone.

Best types of iPhones

When doing an Apple iPhone comparison there is a lot of choice out there. Whether you’re upgrading your current iPhone or joining the iPhone brigade, there are options for everyone. With so many types of iPhones, deciding the best iPhone to buy can be the hardest part. That’s why we’ve broken down the difference between the models so you can find the best iPhone model for you.

iPhone XR

This lightweight model is ideal for those who want the grunt of a big phone without the size. Available with up to 256GB of memory, this phone has the processing power to run all sorts of apps simultaneously.

With a 6.1 inch screen and liquid retina display, images will be sharp and clear, including those you take with the 12MP camera. This model is also great for accessorising, as it comes in six colours to allow you the option of personalising your look. You can check out the full range here.

iPhone SE

The iPhone SE was ahead of its time when it launched, and as such is still a very useful phone. This plucky little model has a 4-inch screen with retina display, a 12MP camera, and memory sizes up to 128GB. It can store a lot for a smaller phone. 

It’s also the classy looking model, with rose gold, gold, space grey, and silver options. 

iPhone X

iPhone X is a bigger and more powerful model than the two listed above. There are three models within the X range: the iPhone X, iPhone XS, and the iPhone XS Max. Boasting up to 256GB of memory and the A11 bionic chip, it can store and process everything you could need in the blink of an eye. The 5.8-inch screen has a super retina display, which will allow you to appreciate the photos you’ve taken with the 12MP camera with dual rear lenses. This model is at the lower end of the price range too, so you can have a great phone for less.

iPhone 11

The iPhone 11 model has three varieties: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Whichever you choose, these models are the high-tech, high memory option. All of the models can include memory up to 512GB, and all have the A10 fusion chip, making them fast and reliable. 

The biggest difference between the models is the size. The Pro model has a 5.8-inch screen while the Pro Max is a huge 6.5 inches. Three rear-facing lenses mean that everyone is now a professional photographer, and with a water-resistant casing, your beach photos just got a whole lot better.

iPhone 8

Small, elegant, and colourful, the iPhone 8 is a fantastic budget model. It has a 12MP camera, retina display with True Tone, and a glass back for wireless charging. It’s also got some muscle, with up to 256GB of memory. It comes in gold, silver, space grey, or red, so you can individualise the look. At 4.7 inches of screen size, it’s more compact than the newer models, but while it’s an older and smaller model, it still packs a punch and is a great option for the budget-conscious.

iPhone 7

While this is the oldest of the iPhone models we will evaluate, it’s still got some great specs and is the most affordable. The iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch screen, while its big brother, iPhone 7 plus, has 5.5 inches. Aside from the size, both models are quite similar, with up to 256GB of memory, retina display, and a 12MP camera. It stacks up against the other older models but is usually cheaper. So if you’re looking for a first iPhone, or you want a basic model that can still handle all your needs, the iPhone 7 and 7 plus are ideal.

Key takeaways

Elegant, stylish, and timeless, the iPhone was the iconic beginning of the smartphone era, and it continues to break boundaries in the industry. Whether you’re looking for a newer model with all the bells and whistles, or a more basic older model that can still perform, there is an iPhone for you at Loop Mobile.
