No wonder the iPhone is the best-selling phone in the world. These devices are truly technological gems in terms of power, performance and style. If you have decided to buy one of Apple’s smartphones, we tell you which model to choose depending on your needs.
- If you don’t want to spend a lot of money
If your decision is based on budget, your best option is the iPhone SE. A small device with good performance, ideal for those who give a lighter use to the phone. It is perfect for using messaging applications, social media, phone calls, etc., but with the quality advantages of an iPhone.
- If you want to watch movies and series

An excellent choice is undoubtedly the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which in addition to having a high quality panel (Super Retina XDR OLED), has a size of 6.7 inches and an excellent resolution. It also has a super battery, capable of offering almost 30 hours of playback.
- If you want to use it with one hand
If you’re not a fan of large phones that you have to handle with two hands, we recommend the iPhone SE, iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 13 mini. These devices have compact dimensions, with a display of just 5.4 inches. Therefore, you will be able to handle them comfortably with one hand, without complications.
