In 2007, Apple revolutionized the smartphone industry with the iPhone 2G. Years later, other smartphone manufacturers start to follow suit by introducing smartphones with different variants that cater to every consumer’s needs. Apple did the same strategy by making four variants of the iPhone, including the standard iPhone, the Pro version, the Pro Max, and the SE.

As a consumer, choosing the best iPhone for your needs can be pretty tough. So in this guide, I’ll help you decide which iPhone to buy.

Author’s note: I know the iPhone 12 series is right around the corner; this is for those people who can’t wait to get their hands on an iPhone.
