The fact that I accidentally mismatched the words last night just like that LMAO
nice vid bro.
You didn’t do enough research, the SE 2 right now for straight talk is only $130
This is a fun video 🙂
THANK GOD YOU PUT IPHONE 5S IN S TIER
Had a friend use his iPhone 4s for 10 years and never changed the battery. I'm really surprised that phone survived for that long, I guess he was just one of those people who never want to upgrade.
If the phone does the job you need then you can keep using it.
Saying that am still using a Mi Max 2 from 2017 without changing battery ether. Is gonna close 5 years this summer and that is a Chinese lower budget Android phone(bought 250 euro new), admittedly from the more decent Chinese makers but one that produces ton of models every year so doesn't focus that much on one or two phones.
If that is getting close to 5 years and going then Apple with their high prices and focus on one two devices each year better be making a phone that can be used for 10 years.
How? One of my 4s blew up early on and my second one had the battery that popped the back off after a bit.
@@Highest Did you just let your phone on the charger indefinitely?
@@SIPEROTH it wasn't on a charger.
The 4S holds a special place in my heart because that was my first ever iPhone I got from my mother when she upgraded to the 6. I still have it in 2022.
As someone who went from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 13…. The iPhone 13 is a pretty solid phone… it doesn’t change extremely from the 11 (or the 12 I assume, but I never had 12) but the improvements they did make such as faster internet speeds and clearer picture on streaming videos (and I swear even my games look better on 13 than 11) was enough to make owning a 13 a better experience… but yeah… I didn’t really switch to IPhone until the 11 so… Idk what any of the old iPhones were like during their prime.!
I did the same, it was a decent upgrade, the screen is a lot better, upgrading to a 15 pro max in a week, I feel it’ll be a way bigger jump than 11-13
I completely agree with your S tier, I had the 5s and the X.
IMO, I would rate the 12 higher for bringing OLED to the cheaper iPhone option, and I would rate the 13 higher for its significant battery and camera improvements
Merry Christmas everyone!
I had 6s and xs
Yeah but close to a grand and starting at only 64 gigs? No thank you
I would rank the 12 a bit higher since it brought iPhone design back to the 4.
For me I hated the IPhone SE 1 it never felt like an IPhone 5S I compared one to my iPhone 5 and they felt like two completely different smartphones despite being identical.
Merry Christmas Josh!! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication for making these videos over the past year Josh! You have kept me entertained over the past year with watching your amazing videos. I can’t wait for 2022 ! Let’s get Josh to 1 million subscribers by the end of next year
Thanks :)
12 deserves higher for being the first iPhone to have OLED at a reasonable price point, and thr SE1 deserves higher for being the first budget phone from Apple that's also great. As for the S tiers, completely agree :)
The SE1 will always be among my favourites, everything it offered at the time being almost the same as the 6s for a much lower price, it had an amazing value and one of the best designs
Same that 5s se design is amazing
Nah, the screen was pretty dim and the battery too small.
@@BleakVision the same screen of the 5s, which nobody ever complained about, I certainly never had any problem with it. Battery was enough for the time too. Everything about it was good or fine AT THE TIME, especially for its price, that’s the key. Nowadays it is very outdated in many regards though, I have one myself as a spare phone, with a brand new battery, and used it as my main phone for a week, it can handle everything although not as fast, but battery needs to be charged twice a day with moderate use
Using the SE right now as a media device (I have the 13 as my main) and it’s not too dim at all. The LCD panel is very crisp also with excellent image quality. It’s an S Tier phone in my opinion.
I loved my SE1. was fantastic. Currently running a 12 mini. hopefully these mini lasts until the next time apple does a mini again.
The 13 will probably the last
my brother uses an se 1 as his main phone. it’s not bad. but he’s suffering on 16 gigs
@@Runbow that would be sad. guess I Need to take every opportunity I can to get the battery replaced before they stop touching the 12's.
@@chloedegurechaff1941 Just upgrade to the 13 mini when they announce the 14 series, then replace the battery every time you can.
@@Lol-rv5bv not really worth the money I'd spend. Luckily after a year my battery life is reporting 98%. so i'm good for a good while.
I got the 13 Pro, and because of the Pro Motion, I would give it an S. This phone runs circles around other iPhones.
I’d put the 8Plus higher, this phone still holds up really well.
I had the 8 Plus from 2018-2020. Product Red. Probably my favorite phone that I’ve owned
Matter of fact almost every iPhones holds up pretty well to this date, it's just the hardware improvements that stands out. I've currently 3 iPhones in my house, 7, XR and 12 and when i say this I'm not high that the 7 feels almost as smooth as the 12. The only upgrade are the cameras and display, rest the face ID and gestures fluidity etc are almost similar to the XR. In terms of sustaining an iPhone through software updates it boils down to the strength of the processor but if the topic is revolving around how long would an iPhone last? Well 10 years least, you'd probably need to get a battery replacement and you're good to go.
Iphones software and hardware wise still hold up well but the battery is one big bummer for most of these. The oldest iphones I recommend are probably the 11 onces. Skip the 12's they are lame upgrades (similar performance, 5g doesnt work properly, worse battery, most of the cheaper once start at only 64 gigs and no charger in the box) and 13 are still the latest but that change since 14 is just round the corner.
Too big in my opinion in specs it’s need to be higher in design and size maybe lower
Amen
29:24 I’d swap the 12 and 13. The 12 had issues with battery performance, over heating, and the camera was a disappointment for an iPhone. The 13 fixed all those issues. Boring phone for sure, but fixed the problems the 12 had. The 12 would have such a hard time connecting to just the simple iPhone to iPhone transfers, but not issues with the 13 so far.
I have an iPhone 12 since release and never had any problems, not even on iOS 14.0 - I also never heard of anyone that had issues with their iPhone 12, I think the iPhone 13 is extremely obsolete as long as the 12 exists
Man stop lying bruh, the 12 had no problems and still has none
@@rubenzwr3782 as someone who works with them daily you would be surprised. I get to see it regularly with multiple 12s.
Now granted it all could stem from it being on a public network and not private when doing the transfers.
@@rubenzwr3782 True
@@doomy_doomy2225 ok but the camera is amazing, and overheating isn’t an issue at all
love your videos bro, also the back ground track is amazing, I was 6 coming home from school playing on my sega! Good times haha
Merry Christmas Josh! Thank you for this video!
I've used the iPhone XS for 2 years now and it's been the best iPhone in terms of battery that I've had. Used to last up to 4 days between charges, now I charge it about every other day, but it's WAY better than my previous iPhones (4S, 5S, 6S).
Bruh how did it last you 4 days I got atmost a day
@@The_MEMEphis I guess iPhone batteries vary a lot. My previous iPhone 6s had terrible battery just 6 months after I got it, like it didn’t even last for 30 minutes on standby.
I’ve been watching your tier tech videos keep up the good work work my guy
The 8 and 13 should be in C tier in my opinion. But overall, I can agree with this tier list. Merry Christmas and happy holidays
It’s hard because the iteratively updated phones are the best. For instance, the 5S, 6S, 8, SE1, XS and 13 are all incredible phones which are S Tier as they have no glaring problems.
Merry Christmas Josh!🎄🎁🎅
iPhone 5C was my first and only iPhone that I had. I love the bright color of it (kinda like Lumia) and the UI was gorgeous for its time and still looks timeless for now. But in 2016 I bought Android Samsung phone and never look back to Apple products ever since.
Merry Christmas to you to Josh! And nice Sonic background music :) so nostalgic! And most of the tier placing you chose is exactly where i would put them
Merry Christmas Josh! Love the video keep up good work!
merry christmas to you too josh!
Merry Christmas 91Tech, your videos are amaizing and I’m a big fan!
Great work! Love the Sonic 2 and 3 music mixed in there too :)
Also, if you’re a fan of the minis (I know you aren’t making sizes different models) the 13 mini is about the best you can get. Camera lenses from the 12 Pro Max, and way way improved battery life from the 12 mini. That is all.
This is so nice talking about all these iphones
iPhone 13 Mini should definitely be in the Top 3.
It’s a shining example of what Good technology is all about. It’s a true iPhone in the traditional sense.
It’s my first iPhone. I haven’t even had mine since a year, and I already cannot even imagine going to a “Regular” sized phone by today’s standards.
Steve Jobbs must be so proud on that little device.
“It’s like a fun sized Candy Bar, that packs all the flavour, but doesn’t pack all the calories”
I remember hearing that about the device somewhere, and I think it’s so true.
It’s a true successor to iPhone 4.
Merry Christmas Josh!🎄
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Josh! Enjoy your content. Look forward to watching future content in 2022!
Nice video Josh. merry Christmas
The 11 pro is my favorite iPhone of all time mainly because it’s the last iphone to have that perfect slightly smaller 4.8inch size. A little smaller than the regular 11/12/13 but a little bigger than the 12 mini and 13 mini. It’s such a perfect size not too small and just big enough for my thumb to reach top to bottom of the screen without stretching or moving it. Plus it’s got that HDR Oled display same as the 12 and 13, and the amazing 3 cameras the pro’s have. It’s just the perfect iPhone to me, or it would be 100% perfect if it just had the classic iPhone 5 square design that the 12 and 13 have, but the rounded iPhones are still more comfortable to hold so it works out. I’ll probably keep using my 11 pro another year or 2 happily
The 3GS, 5S, 7, X and 12 were the biggest steps the the iPhone history so far. I will agree with the iPhone SE2, I had it for a short period and the battery life was horrible.
What about 4? The display resolution quadrupled with the introduction of retina display and the design is still the best to date.
just got the SE2 for christmas and i am quite nervous about how long it will last :(
The 4 was a HUGE step forward with the Retina display. The XR, SE 2020 and 11 have basically the same pixel density as the old 4
@@VigneshRajaIN it’s very impressive, but the 5S was even more beautiful, and laid out all the features that are considered essential in todays devices
Add the 4.
Hey man it’s been a while since I watch the channel this video is pretty good
Merry Christmas Josh keep up the good work
loved the more laid back video!~ pls make more :3
Merry Christmas John! Always enjoy your videos, btw your dog is probably feeling that there's something special going on (who knows)
I feel like you should be hosting a show like in a suit and tie, with a mic in hand. Great stuff btw, really enjoyed this one. Merry Christmas! You could say the 6S was a Success. hehehe....
Love your content
Merry Christmas. Josh
i love that the background music is just old sonic soundtracks, that's a nice touch, i immediately noticed that emerald hill zone, it's a tune that cannot be mistaken for anything else
I am personally using an iPhone 11 128Gb in black I love it! It has insanely good cameras and great battery life! Also great performance! No need to upgrade.
The 6 was my first iPhone. I have quite a bit of love for it. Makes me sad it wasn’t received well.
Merry Christmas bro!
Merry Christmas Josh! Hope you enjoy the holiday today
enjoy this ratio
I loved this dude in A Christmas Story!
Nice overview of previous iPhones, brings back a bunch of memories.
Great video, Josh.
Merry Christmas to you too!
It's past Christmas for me now lol.
The 6S on IOS 12.5.5 is my dream iPhone and I believe that it is one of the strongest and best iPhones ever made.
I currently use a 6+ and want to upgrade to the 6S.
Bro merry Christmas 🎁 🎄
I upgraded from an iPhone 11 to a 13 and I have to say the improvement is stellar. I can’t go back from it so I think D tier is a little too harsh to judge it by. I’d put it on B tier.
Merry Christmas
Recently got the 13 pro max , wasn’t really expecting too much coming from the 11, can comfortably say there is nothing wrong with it. The most perfect phone I’ve ever had, 0 complaints about it at all, appearance wise & performance wise. Highly recommend!
Wow nice, and I finally was able to upgrade to the iPhone 13 pro from the 1st SE!
Congrats!
Nuggy
I own and still use a 5s on iOS 7, and it brings me great joy haha. I also have two iPhone X's (or rather, a bin of parts containing two iPhone X's) both found outside after a rainstorm, completely shattered all around. Guess what? Both motherboards worked and turned on after swapping out the battery + screen (although unfortunately iCloud locked).
merry christmas
Merry Christmas 🎄
Have a Merry Christmas Josh! 😁🎅🎄
The 5S is forever my favorite iPhone. It was the phone that got me through year 6 and 7 in middle school and all of high school and introduced me to things that my 3Gs could never do. It lasted me 5 years and the only reason I upgraded to the XS is because the battery was basically fried (only replaced it once) and 32GB wasn’t gonna cut it for much longer. Currently rocking an iPhone 12 Pro
I generally agree with your list. At first I was like, the 6 in F tier? But then I remembered how slow it got after only 2 years, I sold my 6+ so fast because it was a nightmare. It was also $950 because I got 128gb but now you can get that for $699 on the 13 mini
The 6 is absolutely F tier. Bendgate was a big problem, the A8 was a disappointment too along with the lack of updates. The 6S was a far superior phone. Glad you remember the issues the phone had, lol.
As the owner of a 13 Pro currency and previous owner of the 4, 7, and 12 Pro, I agree with all the placements of those models.
Watching this from an iPhone SE 2nd Gen right now. 📱I can say with 100% certainty that the battery is by far the worst thing about this phone 😅😅. As someone who is fairly new to the Apple ecosystem, I actually learned quite a bit from this tier list! Thanks for posting. Now I’m wondering what an iPhone SE 3 will be like 🤔
Definitely don't upgrade. If you need an upgrade, get a refurbished 13 mini when the 14 is released so it's heavily discounted. The SE3 has very minimal upgrades to the SE2 and is $30 more.
i honestly think all of these rankings are fair. you explained why each phone goes into each tier and its just hard to disagree with a lot of those judgements. i mightve put the 13 in c tier but honestly theres nothing i strongly feel should be changed.
Enjoyed, I’m 70 yrs old still a smartphone junkie. I had some great androids too, like the s 3 and some of the notes and htc phones, my first ip was the 3 then 3g on up to iPhone 8 then finally got my first iPhone big screen xs max, that’s what I have now. iPhone 5 s was one of my favorites, besides the iPhone 4 of course.great memories, thanks.
Merry Christmas! I personally would rate the the 13 much higher than it was or at least switch it with the 12. It brought a much better battery and just refined the experience. I mean the 13 mini has a way better battery than even the 12 itself. To be honest I can’t say how amazing it is as I have the 13 pro max but from the looks of it I think the 13 just improved it entirely. Anyways have a great day! :)
I got the Xs for Christmas, and it's great. I understand that its impact wasn't the biggest but that doesn't mean that the phone isn't very good.
Tbh id rate the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 higher, solid phones. I think that the water resistance was better than if it would have had a headphone jack.
As for the base iPhone 11 id bump that up to a B teir. Its a solid phone with a better camera than the iPhone X. For me it has better and faster face id and its front camera can zoom out
merry christmas!
I’ve been following you on Tiktok for a while now. lol
I still like my 11 and I don’t have any issues with it. As I’ve grown in video/audio hobby, I just wish it had an OLED screen. I’ve sort of thought about upgrading, but I honestly don’t have any desire to, unlike from the 4s to 5s, or 5 to 7.
merry Christmas
I like your Emerson CRT in the background. My grandmother has that exact same TV in her basement.
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Merry Christmas Josh! It’s been awesome watching your channel grow and mature over the past couple of years. Outstanding and informative content, presented with a casual eloquence that is rare in younger generations. Happy New Year and thank you!
Edited to add: Just got my new iPhone 13 Pro which replaced my beloved iPhone X. Couldn’t resist the $800 trade in credit that Verizon offered for my iPhone X. I’ll take a depreciation of only $200 in 4 years any day! 😝🎅🎄
I’d say the 4s and 5s are huge upgrades. Like one of the best photos I’ve ever taken was from a 4s…what!?
Merry Christmas!
also my 12 mini has a garbage battery life so fun
Hi! Watching this a year and a half later. I agree mostly with this list, but the 12 was, for me, at least A tier, B is the lowest I’d go. Why? Because:
-Brought back the iPhone 4 form factor
-First budget iPhone with an OLED display
-MagSafe
-Colors (the blue is just stunning)
-First iPhone with 5G
And all that with the $700 price tag (64GB was good for the time; though not now lol)
Got the 12 and the 13 , 13 is such a improvement, battery , camera, smaller notch
The SE2 is probably my favourite iPhone besides the 5. I use an SE2 right now (I got it for $200 from my carrier) and the battery life, whilst not perfect, is suitable for my daily needs.
i got it for 105 for black friday
Great tier list. Started witg a 4. Loved my 8 Plus. Sadly it's stuck in a bootloop now. RIP
Not an Apple fan tbh, but even I would say the 12 is ATLEAST B-teir, mostly because of how it brought the flat sides of the old iPhone 4 & finally upgraded to OLED for the whole line. The flat sides with minimal bezel is an incredible design that, IMO, Apple should not/ won't move from for awhile.
Yeah but the 12 series also had a smaller battery than the 11 series so that sucks
@@lifeisshrt7929 don’t forget to mention that the 12 series had overheating issues and disconnections often. The 13 fixed all that. Boring phone but it did what was needed
iPhone 6S at B Tier..... No sir! It's a solid A Tier for me. It's not an exciting or groundbreaking smartphone in anyway at all, but it's always been unfairly overlooked to me. Rock solid, and under iOS 10 it was literal perfection.
iPhone X at S Tier.... hmm can't agree with that ranking. Bold, experimental and it changed smartphones forever, granted. However it was a first generation phone in many ways and it wasn't perfect. Also Apple discontinued the X fairly quick. (There's a reason for that...) I would put it at a B Tier myself.
Otherwise I strongly agree with the rest of your list.
iPhone 3G was only $99 when you got a two-year contract, that was when it was still on AT&T only and you couldn’t get it on Verizon or anything else without jailbreaks. I was in middle school when I got that phone and it taught me sooooo much about phones and jailbreaking
that was before Apple started that plan on you could get a new iPhone every year so a lot of people were pissed when they had a two-year contract with the 3G and couldn’t get the newest phone
Wow, I can’t believe how much I agreed with this list. I’ve used almost all iPhones, and all id say is the 13 mini should be higher (I don’t think it’s fair to rate the 13mini w the 13). It’s my second favorite iPhone ever behind the 5S and 4, now ahead of the 11pro.
Sorry if you’ve mentioned this previously @91Tech but what model CRT is that in the background. Cheers
Marry Christmas
The iPhone 11 pro is probably my favorite for some weird reason. Big enough to be used, 3 useful cameras, good camera performance, good battery performance, has that frosted glass back that newer models like the 12 and 13 pros have, and it still has a curved edge compared to the flat edge the newer models have. I’m far more comfortable with round edges when I’m using a phone case.
I am beyond nostalgic for iOS 6. I’m actually considering downgrading my iPod 5th Gen back down to its launch os.
merry chrysler
You ofended me with the iPhone SE 2 😂😂
Watching this on my iPhone 4S 💪
iPhone 4S, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 13 pro max have been my favorites to own.
I had an iPhone 4s, 5s, and an SE 2016 and loved all 3. Then I broke my se and needed to get something cheap so I got an android. I really didn't like being stuck in the IOS ecosystem and once I got out I never went back. Now I have a Samsung galaxy a51 and love it.
I currently use the 13 pro max and omg %1literally lasts me an hour or more and is honestly the best iPhone I’ve ever own!
that 5 on iOS 6 just be looking so good
The sonic soundtrack makes this video a w
How about popular generations? I feel like recently the 11 was pretty popular. The dual cameras were a big deal (even if they aren’t used much) and just seemed to be a time when many upgraded
I’ve got the 13 Pro Max and it’s the most solid phone I’ve owned and I’m still glad you didn’t place it at the top.
The 5C would be great if it was like $129 cheaper than the 5s without touch id, but otherwise the exact same specifications as the 5s and the 5c body. I think that would be good enough reason to upgrade to the 5s for a lot of people, but still cheap enough for tthe (apple) "budget" phone.
Can you do an iPod tier list please
i watched this entire video even tho ive been a samsung user for a while now. the last iphone i used was the 5s and i agree it was so good. i would like another small durable phone like that
I LOVED my 3GS. My favorite was the Green 11 Pro Max. Currently using Sierra Blue 13 Pro Max. Miss my 11 tho. My 5s was not amazing.
I love that u had sonic the hedgehog music in the background
I feel like the iphone X is insanely overrated. All you get is an oled screen and face id. I'm not too fussed about the edge to edge design I liked the plus phones before and the notch was really annoying cause you couldn't see the battery percentage. Oled is nice but I was fine with the ips display of the old phones. i wouldn't say it was as massive a jump as the iphone 4's retina display. Face ID packs some highly advanced tech but in practice it isn't that much or even at all better than touch ID imo. Touch ID always works, is faster and i don't have to swipe upwards to unlock. And that's about it. iPhone 8 and iPhone X both have the same A11 chip, basically the same camera, wireless charging, 3d touch (which i really miss btw) and the iPhone 8 was $200 - $300 cheaper. I bought the iPhone 8 Plus and only just replaced it with the 13 Pro Max because I really liked it. X was overhyped imo
I agree. The iphone X was a small revolution for iphones but not anything impressive in the market as a whole or as a product in general.
The first iphone was very flawed but was a revolutionary product in general. The iphone X wasn't. The market already had OLED screens and screen edge phones etc. Apple was late with that.
