Apple currently sells six different
iPhones across four different models so
the question is if you're in the market
for a new iPhone which one should you
buy that's an interesting question
because there's a lot to choose from of
course you have the iPhone eight an
iPhone 8 plus you have the iPhone 10 R
there's the iPhone 11 and then there's
the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro max
so needless to say it can be a little
bit intimidating trying to decide which
new iPhone to buy but don't worry in
this video we're gonna break it down and
tell you or at least help you to decide
which new iPhone is the right one for

upcoming videos ok so we're gonna start
with the iPhone 8 in the iPhone 8 plus
this is the phone you want to buy if
price is the number one factor in your
decision making process that's because
it's the cheapest brand new iPhone that
Apple sales starting at 450 dollars now
I'd also make the argument that if price
is that important you should also
consider buying a used iPhone 10 R for
instance but if you want a brand new
phone from Apple this is the phone to
get if prices everything to you another
reason to consider the iPhone 8 or
iPhone 8 plus is if you want a phone
with the home button a physical home
button now I could see this being a
factor if you're buying an iPhone for
someone who is used to having a home
button or you just don't think they'll
be able to deal with a gesture-based UI
like on modern iPhones now I'm thinking
grandparents or people who may not be
willing to accept change so easily and
it's also worth noting
that the regular iPhone eight is the
smallest and thinnest iPhone that Apple
currently sells so if form-factor is of
high importance to you that is also
something to consider now we're going
into 2020 so it's really hard to
recommend purchasing an iPhone 8 but if
you don't really care about having the
latest and greatest features the best
photo and video quality and you still
want that physical home button that
features touch ID then the iPhone 8
maybe the phone for you now Apple also
sells the iPhone 10 R which was last
year's entry-level iPhone now at a
starting price of $5.99
this is pound-for-pound in my opinion
the best bang for your buck as far as
iPhones are concerned
it features an edge-to-edge liquid
Retina display with no home button and
it also features a true depth camera
which gives you face ID biometric unlock
ability the great thing is that it
features a display that's much larger
than either the iPhone 8 or the iPhone 8
plus at 6.1 inches and it's able to fit
such a display inside a device that is
smaller than the iPhone a plus thinks to
that edge-to-edge liquid Retina display
this has the same processor is last
year's flagship iPhone 10 s and it
features a very capable 12 megapixel
wide-angle shooter with F 1.8 aperture
on the rear and while it's kind of
superfluous but in our has the best
color options across the entire iPhone
lineup now the iPhone 11 is in my
opinion the phone that most people
should be looking at while the 10r is
definitely the best bang for the buck
the iPhone 11 provides a substantial
upgrade for just $100 more the biggest
difference is that new dual camera
module which gives you an ultra wide
camera and you get uncompromising
flagship performance it has the same 813
Bionic chip as the top-of-the-line
iPhone 11 pro that gives the regular
iPhone 11 the best performance to value
ratio of any phone in Apple's lineup
with all that said it really is all
about the camera with the iPhone 11 this
is a very camera centric upgrade we go
really in depth with this in our iPhone
11 review but the short and sweet of it
is that that ultra wide camera
gives you so many more options when
shooting photos and videos with your
iPhone it's a real game-changer as far
as flexibility is concerned because
couple with a newly redesigned camera
app it's almost like you have to swell
you actually do have two separate lenses
but it's almost like you have a zoom
lens where you can zoom quickly between
focal links and the cool thing about it
all is is that it's seamlessly
integrated with that new camera app and
it doesn't stop there there's so many
other improvements related to the camera
you absolutely must watch our full
hands-on walkthrough if you want just a
top-to-bottom overview of what the
camera brings to the table but a couple
of other things you get four K's 60
frames per second shooting ability with
not just the rear cameras but also the
front-facing camera as well so all three
cameras can shoot 4k 60 and then you get
the new night mode feature as well which
gives you low-light shooting capability
by employing the use of a long exposure
so not only do you get uncompromising
processor performance that beats any
smartphone not only do you get the
second best camera setup second only to
the iPhone 11 pro but you also get other
new features like better battery life
when compared to the iPhone 10 are
better water resistance and you also get
a really cool color selection although
not as cool as the iPhone 10 are in my
opinion but like I said at the outset
this phone the iPhone 11 provides you
with the best performance to value ratio
of any phone in Apple's entire
smartphone lineup this is the phone that
I would buy myself it's the phone that I
would give my significant other it is
the phone that most people should buy
all right so at the very very top of the
iPhone hierarchy you have the iPhone 11
pro in the iPhone 11 Pro max now
starting at $9.99 the iPhone 11 pro is
admittedly ridiculously expensive so
that alone is going to limit its appeal
but if you are looking for the absolute
cream of the crop then there's no
surprise that the iPhone 11 pro is it
now let's start with some of the more
innocuous features like color choice you
get a new midnight green color which is
intriguing but still not as cool as the
color options that you get on the iPhone
10 are and the iPhone 11 but that being
said I love
stainless-steel band that surrounds the
iPhone 11 Pro it's a much more high
quality feeling band than the aluminum
band that wraps around the iPhone 11 now
one of the interesting things about the
iPhone 11 Pro is that it features the
same system on a chip that's in the
iPhone 11 so you're really not getting a
faster phone when compared to the
regular iPhone 11 I guess you could
consider that to be a good thing and a
bad thing depending on which phone you
buy needless to say it kind of makes the
iPhone 11 Pro feel a bit overpriced for
what it is but that's not to say that
there aren't key attributes about the
iPhone 11 Pro that makes it worth
considering because there definitely is
most outstandingly you have a new try
camera module that's never been done
before on an iPhone so there's three
cameras one ultra wide camera one
wide-angle camera and one telephoto
camera that's going to give you more
flexibility when shooting photos and
video when compared to the iPhone 11 you
also get a new super Retina XDR OLED
display which has a crazy 2 million to 1
contrast ratio so that's gonna make your
HDR photos and videos pop it's gonna
make watching movies with Dolby vision
pop it's gonna make iOS 13's new dark
mode feature look downright amazing
there's no comparison this is hands-down
easily easily the best display that
Apple's ever put in any of its portable
devices now another thing to consider is
that the iPhone 11 pro gives you more
options as far as size is concerned
because you get a small model which is
five point eight inches and then you get
the max model which is 6.5 inches so
it's either smaller or larger than the
iPhone 11 depending on which one you
choose so that's nice just to have that
option in a flagship phone but perhaps
most importantly to some users at least
the iPhone 11 pro max gives you the best
battery life of any iPhone ever that
includes the iPhone 10 are the iPhone 11
this is the cream of the crop when it
comes to battery life so if you don't
care about price you want the longest
battery life you want the most
full-featured camera system you want
options as far as size is concerned and
you want the best display in an iPhone
then the iPhone 11
or iPhone 11 Promax is the phone for you
so all things considered in most cases
I'd stay away from the iPhone 8 and
iPhone 8 plus if you're buying an iPhone
for parents or grandparents or even kids
I recommend the iPhone 10 are and if
you're buying a new phone for a
significant other or anyone else I
definitely lean towards the iPhone 11
but if you're buying an iPhone for
someone who is crazy about taking photos
and videos maybe they shoot feature
films with their iPhone using filmic Pro
then it's all about that iPhone 11 Pro
but even still I probably be tempted to
stick with the iPhone 11 because it's
just that good and it presents an
incredible value for the money what do
