13 Pro Max a proven performer

13 pro max is great

The best one for your money currently is the iPhone 13 Pro / Pro Max but Apple discontinued selling them since introducing the iPhone 14 Pros. You would have to go to carrier stores or third-party stores to buy it.

The best one that is still in Apple's iPhone lineup is the iPhone 13 because of its price but it doesn't have the telephoto camera and no autofocus on the front camera.

Get the 13 Pro Max it’s not far off from the 14 Pro Max and should last for quite some time.

Do you really need 512GB? If not you can save quite a lot of money there. Especially if you use iCloud, Google Drive, or something similar. iCloud is particularly smart about keeping thumbnails and downloading full-size pics on demand, and off-loading as needed. Really cuts down on the storage photos need — eg on a new phone I have about 5GB of space used by photos, but my photo library is about 60GB.

The newer iPhones will have the best cameras, but previous years’ models are fine. Even the 11s. And they get a fair number of years of support and updates.

The best iPhone really depends upon your budget but I do agree, a year-old iPhone often makes sense if you don’t need the absolute latest.
