Xs. The latest & greatest.

I think the 6/6+ was the game changer as Apple finally started offering the iPhone in a sensible size for the modern tech age. The sales back this up. Even for the time the 5 & 5s were ludicrously small & cramped, which is why the 6/6+ were so successful.
 
Whilst i love the X, out of all of them, the one i look back on best was my Jet Black iPhone 7, just loved it. (So much so i still toy with the idea of picking up a refurb one as backup!)

While I love my Xs, there isn't a model that comes close to the SE, IMO. I just love the form factor and size.

The SE was a great phone. The best thing was carrying it in the pocket, you really didn’t even notice it, compared to how I have to manage my larger iPhone to carry in my back-pocket, being it’s to obtrusive in my front pockets. That’s kind of annoying.

The Max is the best phone ever made.

So far, not 2010. Today's Xs beats the 4 in every possible way - don't even bother saying OLED is better than 4's display.

I'll say it. I have a 4 and a Max. I loved using my 4. The screen on the Max is vastly superior.
 
It’s comforting to see iPhone SE sharing a second popular vote with iPhone 4 (11 votes each) falling behind only the latest top pair (XS & XS Max). If these votes are reflective of the wider iPhone market, we might eventually see a full screen iPhone in iPhone SE, 7 or 8 chassis. I would love one!

The very refined iPhone 8/8+ I’d say. A solid phone with very little issues.

7 is even better, imo - lighter than 8, has a brighter screen than 8 and less prone to damages with its iron back. The only real difference between them is wireless charging.
 
I voted for the 5. First 4” screen and first with LTE. Great design with no camera bump. I kept that phone two years, and the 6 I had next almost felt like a downgrade.

iPhone 2G is also a very worthy choice, as it was totally unlike anything available at the time. But it did have some limitations compared to existing competition.

It was wireless charging, truetone, and the chip which made me suggest the 8 over it. Both great devices even now but I felt the 8 was the final and best evolution of the classic iPhone design.

The X onwards take a lot of influence from the Android segment and the over marketing of OLED for me just didn’t deliver the same iconic product even if they tried to justify it with a higher price tag.
