which iPhone should you buy for the holidays?

The holidays are coming and with all the offers a great time to buy a new iPhone. But which iPhone should you get?

Buy iPhone for the holidays

Even before the holidays, you will be bombarded with offers during the Black Friday period. But the offers are also bursting out around Christmas.

Are you planning to give an iPhone as a gift for Christmas? Or do you want to buy yourself a new iPhone for the holidays? We show you which device is the best to buy. In addition, we also include the current best price for you.

Want the very best iPhone Apple has right now? Then you should take the iPhone 14 Pro (Max). You then get an iPhone with the latest A16 chip, the Dynamic Island and the best iPhone camera ever (48 megapixels).

iPhone 13: not the best, but a better buy

Still, the best iPhone isn’t necessarily the best buy. There are quite a few differences between the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. The smartphone looks almost the same, the battery life is almost the same and the battery life also differs very little.

You do miss a few functions such as accident detection (English: Crash Detection) and emergency call via satellites, but the latter function is not even available in the Netherlands at the moment. The camera of the iPhone 14 is also a bit better, but that doesn’t make much difference.

Still, your wallet will like it a lot better if you opt for an iPhone 13. Because the iPhone 13 is now about 100 euros cheaper than the iPhone 14. And will there soon be an offer for the iPhone 13? Then the difference will only get bigger.

Small iPhone, small price

Do you think the regular iPhone 13 (or iPhone 14) is too big? Then choose an iPhone 13 mini to buy for the holidays. You then have all the functions of the regular iPhone 13, but in a smaller size.

The iPhone 13 has a screen size of 6.1 inches and the screen of the iPhone 13 mini is a bit smaller at 5.4 inches. The price of the iPhone 13 mini is also smaller, because you save about 100 euros compared to its bigger brother.

iPhone 11: budget alternative with Face ID

Do you mainly want a cheaper iPhone, but do you think Face ID is important? Then check out the iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 has many of the functions that you still see in new iPhones.

For example, all iPhone 11 cameras have a 12-megapixel resolution (including the front camera). Thanks to the A13 chip, you can also go a few years ahead with support for new iOS versions. In addition, it is also for sale in various nice colors.

Of course you are going to miss some features. The camera is not so good for taking pictures in low light. In addition, the iPhone 11 does not support 5G and still has an LCD screen.

Cheap iPhone with lightning fast chip

Is Face ID not that important to you and do you want a cheap iPhone that also gets iOS updates for a long time? Then the iPhone SE 2022 is the device you should buy for the holidays. This budget iPhone from Apple has an A15 chip (just like the iPhone 13).

The device does have an old look. That means that the smartphone has a home button with Toch ID (so there is no Face ID). This iPhone SE 2022 also has a 4.7-inch LCD display. You will also find only one camera (of 12 megapixels) on the back of the device.
