Apple's iPhones are one of the most popular phones in the world, and for good reasons too. iPhones are very easy to use and don't require any tinkering whatsoever to get up and running. The processing power on iPhones is also as fast if not faster than the android counterparts. iPhones also tend to have a larger selection of apps than android and are optimized better. This may sound great and all, but iPhones have one major downside and that's the selection of phones available to you.
Unlike Android which has a large selection of high-end to low budget phones by different manufacturer, Apple is the sole manufacturer of their phones and only offer two new phones every few years. A regular sized phone, and a plus sized phone with a bigger screen and battery, everything else is practically the same. iPhones are also much more expensive than androids and tend to hold their value longer, which may sound like a good thing if you're selling a used iPhone but not so much when you're in the market to buy that same used iPhone, it is a double-edged sword.
Below I will list the newest iPhones available along with older iPhone models that are a bit cheaper.
