If app support was not an issue, which iPhone/iOS combo would you use?

The poll only includes the phones with their launch OS, if you want to choose a post-launch combo (iPhone 4 iOS 6 for example) you can put a comment in. If you comment, choose a color.

For me it would have to be the Slate iPhone 5 iOS 6, really polished and quick.
 
I wanted to choose iPhone XS Max with ios13.

There is no going back to Touch ID for me.

This has been on my wishlist for a few years now. More as a novelty at this point, as I'm used to a Plus-sized iPhone now and going back to the 4" screen just wouldn't suffice for me.

My iPhone 6s Plus is still running the last build of iOS 10 (10.3.3), been hesitant to update and lose some discontinued 32-bit apps that are no longer on the App Store. I also never bothered to update my 5s past 8.4.1, but there's nothing too special about that combo.
