Buying the best iPhone in 2018 is more complicated because the choices aren't very obvious for everyone. Apple launched three new iPhones last year, including the pricey iPhone X. You have big decisions to make.
There are eight iPhone models on sale through Apple's official website, and even more from other retailers looking to sell you on a used iPhone. They range from the 5.8-inch all-screen display of the iPhone X to the 4-inch one-hand-friendly old-school screen size of the iPhone SE. The prices vary wildly.
No matter what, buying a top-rated iPhone is always an expensive decision, so we're here to help. The iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have all secured spots on our prestigious best phones list, but what happens when all the phones on a recommended list are iOS 11 (and iOS 12 beta) devices?
Our top iPhone list highlights the different specs, screen sizes, and price points. Each of these handsets has something to offer every type of Apple fan – so we've boiled down the choices for you in a simple-to-read format.
BUT WAIT! Before you splash out on a shiny new iPhone, you'll be wise to hold out. We've now had the new suite of iPhones appear: the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR - all of which offer something different and we'll be putting them through our suite of testing very soon.
The former two are the more premium models: bringing the very best spec that Apple has ever thrust in an iPhone and will be here soon, and the XR is the cheaper model (although not actually cheap compared to the rest of the market) but won't be out until later in October.

Incredibly expensive
The iPhone X is as impressive as it is expensive, but if you really want the best iPhone today and don't want to wait for the iPhone XI, this is the one to get today. Millions of Apple fans already have since it launched almost seven months ago. It's the future of Apple's smartphone.
It has a large all-screen display, except for a notch cutout at the top that houses a new TrueDepth Camera. This takes selfies to another level and can also map your face to an iPhone X-exclusive Animoji. If you don't know what that is by now you probably won't care.
The iPhone X is Apple's 10th anniversary smartphone and has just about everything iPhone users have been asking for, from a more forward-leaning design to faster specs and new features. You'll just have to get used to Face ID instead of reaching for that non-existent fingerprint sensor.
