Which iPhone Should I Buy?

The quiz compares your answers with specifications from Apple's current lineup. It uses your budget, feature priorities, daily use, and preferred phone size to produce a shortlist.

Budget is a hard filter based on each model's US launch price. The remaining models receive weighted scores for camera hardware, battery rating, display features, and physical dimensions, so the recommendation reflects the priorities you selected.

Camera scoring looks at megapixel counts across all lenses, optical zoom capability, LiDAR presence for computational photography, and maximum video resolution. Battery scoring normalizes video playback hours across the lineup and rewards models that consistently outperform. Display scoring evaluates refresh rate (ProMotion 120Hz vs standard 60Hz), always-on capability, and peak brightness. Size scoring cross-references height, width, and weight against your stated preference for compact, standard, or large form factors.

We only recommend models that Apple currently sells new. This keeps the manufacturer warranty current and makes software compatibility and feature availability easier to verify. Discontinued models may still be available from third-party sellers, but we don't recommend them because compatibility and pricing are less predictable.

Your current phone also affects the result. Someone upgrading from an iPhone 14 or older will notice changes such as USB-C, a 48MP camera, and Camera Control sooner than an iPhone 15, 16, or 17 owner, who is pointed toward the newest chips. Android switchers receive a higher score for models with larger screens.
