assuming you’re doing a 4 year college term all 4 of these phones will definitely last you all 4 years and more to come

it just comes down to what you look for in a phone and what your use case will be

but i will say that the 14 is a bad deal rn because the 13 is 99% the same phone for $100 cheaper

personally i wouldn’t do it because the 8+ may or may not get iOS 17 this year. but even if it does, it will definitely be its last ios update. i’d rather get a newer phone. it doesn’t have the be the latest & greatest but just something that’s in the middle to last long enough

just buy a car charger to put in the cig outlet that has both usb c or 1 usb c & 1 usb a

this is what i have but anything will work tbh: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Anker-Car-Charger-USB-C-35W-2-Port-Compact-Type-C-20W-Power-Delivery-15W-PowerIQ-2-0-PowerDrive-PD-2-iPhone-12-11-X-8-Pixel-3-2-XL/910614807

depends on the prices of the phones

the 11 pro is still a great phone in 2023 but it depends on pricing

what are the prices? each phone is good tbh

the 13 pro max is better but not $300-$400 better. go for a 12 pro max

15

13

iphone 13 easy

honestly the 12 would be better in this case but if you really want the better battery or extra camera than the 11 pro isn’t that bad

what’s your use case for a phone? what’s your budget? because technically the best phone you can get is the 14 pro max cause it the top of the line phone but not everybody wants it for a factor of reasons

that’s only on a minority of 13 pros, don’t worry about it. go for a 13 pro

13 pro

the only differences you’d notice would be that the 8+ gains wireless charging and fast charging over a usb c to lightning cable like all current iPhones do

The 15 is coming later this fall, and the next gen SE would be coming in spring 2024 according to leaks. it’s said to have either the iPhone XR or the iPhone 14 design. Whatever one it has it’s definitely a big upgrade & will be a better bang for your buck.

is 6.1 inches too big for you? if it is, go for an SE 2020 or a 13 mini

if it’s not, go for an iPhone 12/13

12 pro max would last you 3/4 more years of ios updates (most likely this isn’t confirmed yet, we just have to find out for ourselves as time goes on)

14 pro max is nice but the 13 pro max is a better bang for your buck option as it’s cheaper and the 13PM actually has better battery life than the 14PM

i would go to an apple store or any store that sells iphones and try to hold a 14 pro

13 pro

Your best bet would be an SE 2020 as i’ve seen em go as low as $150. But if not then the XS would be better. i would replace its battery tho if you choose as 73% is horrible
