Let’s raise the eternal topic: which iPhone is worth buying and why. Apple has so many models that the phrase “take the newest and don’t worry” is no longer enough. Let’s see what the current line of iPhones looks like at the end of June 2020.
iPhone 11 Pro и 11 Pro Max: когда любишь всё самое новое
With the most expensive iPhones, it’s simple: if you want the best from the world of Apple phones, buy the 11 Pro Max. If you are not ready to put up with the bulky dimensions of the case, then choose the 11 Pro, it is noticeably smaller and more compact. There should be no questions with the choice of the amount of memory: 512 GB will be enough for all times, and if you do not shoot much video, then 256 GB will be enough. Buying a flagship phone with 64 GB is so-so idea: memory goes away in a moment, and then you will still regret that you have decided to save on it.
Prices for the 11 GB iPhone 64 Pro start at Yandex.Market at 76 rubles, but it will be a “gray” device. Prices for growth start at 000 rubles.

iPhone XS and XS Max: a rational purchase
A couple of last year’s top iPhones have dropped significantly after the release of a new generation. If you are not chasing top-end phones and are counting money, then you should take a closer look at the iPhone XS. He loses in the quality of night shooting, but do you often take pictures in bad conditions for your Instagram?
It also has a shorter runtime relative to the Pro-series, but this is solved by purchasing a “humped” case with a built-in battery or Power Bank. The rest of the phone is excellent: a well-tuned OLED screen, small size (I mean the regular XS), gorgeous video recording and the feeling of an expensive thing from using a metal and glass body.
If at the beginning of spring there were a lot of proposals for the iPhone XS, then by the summer there were fewer. Apparently, stocks are melting after all. Taking into account the price of 54 rubles for the iPhone XS with 000 GB of memory from the official delivery for Russia, it makes no sense to buy a “gray” one for a couple of thousand cheaper. Still, two years of official warranty is a significant argument when buying.

iPhone 11: when you want the newest, but not so expensive
The novelty of last fall became a hit of sales, repeating the success of the iPhone XR. The phone turned out to be so successful, because it costs significantly less than the Pro-series, while you don’t have to sacrifice performance, because the processor is the same as in the 11 Pro. The differences are, rather, of a moral nature: it’s like a Mercedes-Benz C and E class: they seem to be similar to each other, but the sensations from the trips are completely different.
At the same time, the iPhone 11 is good as a compromise option: it is not as expensive as the 11 Pro, and for the twenty thousand rubles saved, you can buy wireless AirPods Pro with noise canceling.
The difference in price between “gray” and Rostest phones is about five to six thousand rubles. It turns out about 53 and 000 rubles, respectively, for the version with 58 GB of memory.

iPhone XR: the perfect balance of price and quality
Between the iPhone XR and the iPhone 11, the difference is about 10 thousand rubles, in my opinion, it is worth paying extra for a new product if you take a lot of pictures and want a better camera. If the photo business is secondary, and the priority is saving money, then you can buy the still not old, but still good iPhone XR. In terms of price-quality ratio, this is a pleasant phone that will delight you both with its speed and battery life.
For an iPhone XR with 64 GB of memory, they ask for 44 rubles, which is the lowest price level on Yandex.Market. If you want growth, then it will cost a little more – 000 rubles.

iPhone SE: old new iPhone
Apple’s spring novelty has made as much noise as no Android flagship has ever dreamed of. Although there is an old G2020 design, a small battery, and a wide-bezel screen, and the Home button feels strange. A very strange phone by the standards of XNUMX, but this is the most affordable iPhone with a new generation of hardware. It will receive updates for a long time, and when prices go down, as was the case with the first SE, it will generally become a popular favorite.
It would be possible to put an end here, but there are several older models on sale. I would not buy them. In particular, the iPhone 8 is comparable in price to the more recent iPhone SE, and the 2020 is still a bit old for XNUMX. Nevertheless, they can still be found on sale, so I will add them to the selection.
“Gray” iPhone SE (2020) cost from 35 rubles, and phones from official deliveries for Russia cost from 000 rubles.

iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
“Eights” disappeared on the Apple website, they are no longer in the company’s online store, but the rest are still being sold. There is no point in buying an iPhone 8 now, it’s more interesting to look at the more recent iPhone SE. It doesn’t cost much more, but it wins in all respects. First of all, it is interesting thanks to the most modern Apple A13 Bionic processor, while the iPhone 8 has a not so powerful Apple A11 Bionic. Accordingly, the iPhone SE will work faster, and it will take longer to receive iOS updates.
If you look at Yandex.Market, there the 8 GB iPhone 64 costs from 31 rubles.

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
I have no doubt that for many, these iPhones will be the first ticket to the world of Apple phones – a low price tag is critical. At first glance, the phone is not bad even by 2020 standards. Let him be four years old in the fall, but on iOS 13 he works quickly, the video still writes smoothly, and chips like moisture protection and the Home touch button under the screen delight the heart. But the quality of the photos is no longer the flagship, the battery life is not so hot and the reason for buying will only be the desire to join the world of Apple at minimal cost.
As for the price, for the 7 GB iPhone 32 they ask from 25 rubles, and this will be a phone from the official delivery for Russia.

iPhone SE
If you buy the smallest iPhone, then for a collection, save it in a sealed box for future generations of gadget lovers. I do not see any other reasons for buying, walking with a tiny 4-inch screen is excruciatingly painful, and there are almost no such phones left on sale.
Top ten most popular iPhones according to Biggeek.ru
I share the statistics of sales for the last month from our Biggik friends. The list is built from the most popular model to the least popular, taking into account the amount of memory and color:
- Apple iPhone XR 128GB Black;
- Apple iPhone XR 64GB (PRODUCT) RED;
- Apple iPhone SE (2020) 64GB White;
- Apple iPhone XR 64GB White;
- Apple iPhone SE (2020) 128GB White;
- Apple iPhone 11 64 GB Black;
- Apple iPhone 11 Pro 256GB Midnight Green;
- Apple iPhone SE (2020) 64GB Black;
- Apple iPhone SE (2020) 128GB (PRODUCT) RED;
- Apple iPhone 8 64GB Product RED.
Instead of a conclusion
If we discard old models like the iPhone 7 and 8, as well as their Plus-brothers in the lineup, it turns out that if you buy a new iPhone in 2020, you should look at at least the new generation iPhone SE. If you are confused by the old design, small battery and a button under the screen with a built-in fingerprint scanner, then look at the iPhone XR.
This is one of the most tenacious iPhones, which sets records for autonomy. In addition, it has a large screen, a good camera, but in my opinion, it is more interesting to pay extra and buy the iPhone XR, and not the new iPhone SE.
If you plan to take a lot of pictures, then the choice is obvious: you need to buy the freshest iPhones: you will definitely like the 11 Pro, and if the budget is limited, then buy “just” the iPhone 11. The camera in Apple phones is improved every year, the night mode works wonders in low light and the owners of old iPhones can only regret that Apple cheated them with this feature. It is not, by the way, in the iPhone SE.
