Going to get a new iPhone

My office will pay for it, so not overly concerned about cost.
I am still using my old iPhone5.

Suggestions on the best one to get? I would like to keep it at least 5 years.

Same form factor as the iphone 8, but with the latest chip, so will not be obsolete for quite a while.

I do like it and with a slim profile case + screen protector, it is not all that much bigger than my old iphone 5. Still, I miss the 5s sometimes. Its size was just perfect for me.

At any rate, I'm happy with the new iphone SE.

Unfortunately, they are going to be obsolete here pretty soon, so it is a sad day that we have to give up our 5s.

I just bought a 6s from eBay, for a few bucks (cause I hate contracts) and it works great.

If you do, you must get an older model. If you don’t, there’s no reason not to get the latest and greatest.

Apple will reveal its latest iPhones in just a few hours, but if you can’t wait until the official announcement, all four new phones have leaked in full, thanks to noted phone leaker Evan Blass.

Blass has posted what appear to be official Apple renders for all four new iPhone 12 models, which he claims (in line with the various rumors) will be called the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
