I think Apple iPhone is a 2nd phone, not my daily driver, as my primary phone is a Samsung phone.

I used Apple products before. I have got M1 Mac Mini, iPad Pro 2018 and an old MacBook Pro 2015. I do not use an iPhone before, get into the apple system as a 2nd device, and I know the layout already from iPad some of the features.

I brought the Apple AirPods Pro 1st generation last Friday.

I had treated myself to AirPods. I treat myself to an iPhone for my birthday end of the week as a gift; I hope so, possibly.

A first-time iPhone and an AirPods user as well, I want in ages, and I want an iPhone as well as a 2nd phone.

I like Apple iPhone SE and the iPhone seven, something high; anything is suitable for my budget. I don't know and want to spend too much. I need it to work on iOS 16, macOS Ventura, Monterey and iPadOS 16. For my devices.

Please advise me of your recommendation for What are your thoughts?

Thanks

I’d get an 11, not too old and still have a few years of updates ahead

Thanks. I think that as well a 11.

As a secondary phone, a SE would probably do just fine. A iPhone 7 is way to old.

Thanks, I am thinking that. I am not buying a iPhone 7. About an iPhone 8? iPhone SE 1st generation too old?

1st Gen SE (2016) is EOL. SE 2nd Gen (2020) or 3rd Gen (2022) is supported

Thanks for that. I am now thinking SE 2nd gen or 3rd gen.

I recommend iPhone 11 if you don’t need 5g

If you have about $750 to spend I’d recommend 13 pro for 5g and 120hz refresh rate screen.

Thanks for that. The iPhone 11 sounds interesting. I possibly need 5G for future proof.

I’d say get the SE if it’s as a second phone

Thanks for that. I like to get an SE, and I want to.
