We've ranked these three new flagship iPhones, as well as the older handsets, so you can find the best iPhone for you.
Our recommendations round out the top 10 iPhones you can buy (yes, there's more than 10), because buying the newest might not be your best option if you wanted to save money or don't want to worry about losing a cutting-edge phone.
For example, 2017's iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are still great picks, and you'll find the iPhone X on sale in certain places for a cheap price – even if you can't pick one up directly from Apple.

Good news, the top 10 iPhones we recommend run iOS 12, Apple's latest big operating system update for its devices. It's therefore a bit different from our prestigious best phones list and the best Android phones list. Apple's prices vary wildly, but you'll probably have to treat them as more of an investment than lower-cost Android phones.
Our top iPhone list highlights the different specs, screen sizes, and price points. Each of these handsets has something to offer for every kind of Apple fan – so we've boiled down the choices for you in a simple-to-read format.

Portraits, aperture, selfies, video quality 8. Alternatives, pros and cons, verdict Huawei Mate 20 X specification User opinions and reviews Review comments (73) Introduction Arriving a few months after the rest of the Mate 20 series phones, but considered by many as the best phone in the family, the Mate 20 X is finally stepping in by offering all the screen real estate you could possibly want in a phone. Better late than never, as the old saying goes. The Mate 20 X was among the most interesting Mate 20 phones, but it never really saw the light of day outside of a few Southeast Asian countries. Not until recently, that is. The Mate 20 X has now launched in a few European markets and while the chances are that the P30 is already around the corner, the Mate 20 X has niche of its ow...

Honor 10 Lite review

Introduction The Honor 10 Lite is the latest addition to the brand's mid-range lineup and it hopes to ride on the success of the original Honor 10. So how did Honor go about making a Lite version of a phone, which is already somewhat of a Lite version of the flagship Huawei P20? Well, for one, the feature set has been trimmed across the board starting from the chipset, going through the camera and ending with the connectivity set. But that doesn't mean this is a bad phone. The Honor 10 Lite is still an embodiment of the great value phones we've come to know the brand for. For about 30% lower price tag than the original Honor 10, the 10 Lite has the same size battery, a larger screen with a smaller notch, the memory is now expandable via a microSD slot and right from the get-go it comes out with the latest Android 9 Pie. In comparison, the Honor 10 still hasn't got an update to Pie yet. Honor 10 Lite specs: Body: 154.8 x 73.6 x 8mm, 162 grams, plastic...

Oppo RX17 Pro review

Introduction The un-flagship-y flagship from Oppo - the Oppo RX17 Pro or also known as the Oppo R17 Pro in China with the same hardware, though. A feature-rich device with a sleek design, capable hardware and rather questionable use case of the third camera on the back. However, there are quite a few things that raise the coolness factor of the handset and the in-display fingerprint is one of them. Also, it's no secret that this phone is a close relative to the OnePlus 6T but the RX17 Pro has a few unique selling features of its own too - a clear case of sibling rivalry. Don't expect any awe-inspiring sliding mechanism in Find X-esque fashion or Snapdragon 845-like performance but the 3D TOF sensor on the back of the phone has some potential that we hope Oppo will unlock with future updates because for now, the functionality is rather limited. On the other hand, the usable under-display fingerprint reader and the stupid fast SuperVOOC charging make for a less gim...
