The $750 iPhone XR is the best iPhone for most shoppers because it costs hundreds less than the XS and Max — even though it has most of the same great tech. The only big differences are the LCD screen and the lack of a second camera on the back of the phone.

Although the iPhone 6S looks new, it has three-year-old tech inside and it won't last much longer, so don't buy it — even though it's $200.

• Amazon: $199.99 (normally $299.99) on Simple Mobile Prepaid
• Walmart: $149.99 on Straight Talk

Even though the iPhone 6S Plus is just $300, it's not worth buying because the tech is already outdated and it won't last you as long as a newer phone.

• Amazon: $299.99 (normally $399.99) on Simple Mobile Prepaid
• Best Buy: $299.99 on Total Wireless
• Sprint: $0.00 down plus $22.92 per month with Sprint Flex lease

• Tech geek? Join the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program. You'll essentially rent your phone with monthly payments, and you can upgrade to a new one after 12 payments. If you do that, you end up paying half price for the phone and you get a new one every year without worrying about the cost. T-Mobile has a similar offer, in which you can upgrade as soon as you've paid off half of the phone's entire balance.
• Tech-savvy traveler? We recommend you buy your iPhone unlocked so you can pop in local SIM cards when you travel. To do this, buy from Apple, preferably through the iPhone Upgrade Program. Alternatively, you can buy from T-Mobile or Sprint because they have free international service in 100+ countries.
• Budget hunter? Check out all the carrier promotions and maybe wait a few months after the launch to buy your new iPhone. You can also get the $750 iPhone XR, which costs several hundred dollars less than the XS and Max, but has most of the same tech. You can get a year-old iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus for a good price now, too. We do not recommend the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, though they are still acceptable buys. Do not buy the iPhone 6S or older, though, because the tech is old, it won't last as long, and it is not a good investment.
