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.

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.!

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

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 loved my SE1. was fantastic. Currently running a 12 mini. hopefully these mini lasts until the next time apple does a mini again.

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

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 :)

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.

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

Merry Christmas Josh! Thank you for this video!

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!🎄🎁🎅 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 Josh! Love the video keep up good work!

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

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.

I’ve been watching your tier tech videos keep up the good work work my guy

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.

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'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).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Josh! Enjoy your content. Look forward to watching future content in 2022!

merry christmas to you too josh!

Merry Christmas 91Tech, your videos are amaizing and I’m a big fan!

Merry Christmas Josh! Hope you enjoy the holiday today

This is so nice talking about all these iphones

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

Merry Christmas Josh!🎄

loved the more laid back video!~ pls make more :3

Merry Christmas Josh keep up the good work

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

Hey man it’s been a while since I watch the channel this video is pretty good

Merry Christmas John! Always enjoy your videos, btw your dog is probably feeling that there's something special going on (who knows)

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. Josh

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.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas 🎄

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.

Nice overview of previous iPhones, brings back a bunch of memories.

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

Merry Christmas bro!

Wow nice, and I finally was able to upgrade to the iPhone 13 pro from the 1st SE!

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 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.

Bro merry Christmas 🎁 🎄

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.

I loved this dude in A Christmas Story!

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.

Great video, Josh.

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!

I’ve been following you on Tiktok for a while now. lol

merry christmas

Have a Merry Christmas Josh! 😁🎅🎄

I like your Emerson CRT in the background. My grandmother has that exact same TV in her basement.

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!

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

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! :)

Merry Christmas! also my 12 mini has a garbage battery life so fun

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.

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

Great tier list. Started witg a 4. Loved my 8 Plus. Sadly it's stuck in a bootloop now. RIP

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 🤔

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.

Got the 12 and the 13 , 13 is such a improvement, battery , camera, smaller notch

Sorry if you’ve mentioned this previously @91Tech but what model CRT is that in the background. Cheers

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 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.

I have the 12 mini and love it.

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

Can you do an iPod tier list please

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

Watching this on my iPhone 4S 💪

Happy to have an S tier phone (iPhone X) still using it since the day it came out and nothing to complain

merry chrysler

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.

The sonic soundtrack makes this video a w

that 5 on iOS 6 just be looking so good

Marry Christmas

You ofended me with the iPhone SE 2 😂😂

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

”not that you would ever see it” me with youtube redux: hold my beer

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.

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)

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

Ha ha ha. I am watching it 2 years on Christmas

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.

Josh:iPhone 6 in the F Tier My old iPhone 6:😳

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!

Merry Christmas Josh,We will send you your gifts.

I am beyond nostalgic for iOS 6. I’m actually considering downgrading my iPod 5th Gen back down to its launch os.

Merry Christmas 🫣

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.

iPhone 4S, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 13 pro max have been my favorites to own.

Which is the best? S orF??
