The Top 5 iPhones of All Time

The Top 5 iPhones of All Time

The first Apple iPhone was announced 15 years ago, and we've reviewed nearly every one. These five are the best of the bunch

Apple started 2007 with a single product that made a big splash. But over the past 15 years, there have been far more than 15 iPhones, as the company rolled out big ones, little ones, cheap ones, and costly ones.

The plan was one iPhone a year until 2013, when the iPhone 5c joined the iPhone 5s in a dual release. Since then, we've gotten up to five iPhones a year, in the banner year of 2020 when we saw the iPhone SE 2, the 12 mini, the 12, the 12 Pro, and the 12 Pro Max.

iPhone 3G (2008)

The app store makes the iPhone. Apple's original iPhone was interesting but limited; I wouldn't even really call it a smartphone, because I define a smartphone as a device able to run third-party apps. It had lousy phone-call quality and couldn't show many desktop Web pages. I loved the interface, but the experience could be pretty rough, as I said in my original review of the first iPhone.

iPhone 5 (2012)

The iPhone broke free of its AT&T shackles in the 4S year, but thanks to 4G LTE and the larger 4-inch screen, the iPhone 5 was the one to really take advantage of being on every US carrier. This was just a beloved, well-made phone, which I called "faster, less frustrating, and less fragile" than the 4S in my review. This was the first iPhone I feel like I saw everybody holding at once.

iPhone SE (2016, 2020)

As the decade began to turn, smartphones became steadily larger and more expensive. The iPhone SE (and its successor, the SE 2) were joyous correctives to those trends—affordable, powerful phones that fit smaller hands, but got you into the iPhone ecosystem with finesse. They showed that you didn't need to empty your pockets or fall back to an older model to get those treasured blue chat bubbles. I have high hopes for an SE 3 coming soon.

iPhone X (2017)

Apple's tenth-anniversary iPhone piled in new design ideas and features that played out over the next five years. It was the first iPhone with an OLED screen, the first without a physical home button, the first with Face ID, the first with notable AR capabilities, and the first one to cost $999. Whether or not you liked those changes—and a lot of people still don't!—the iPhone X set an agenda that the iPhone 13 family is still working from.

The iPhone 12 Pro is a true professional camera phone.

iPhone 12 Pro (2020)

I'm the 5G guy! So I have to give a nod to the first 5G iPhone, even though 5G networks haven't lived up to the promises Verizon's Hans Vestberg made at the phone's launch. The 12 Pro also introduced the latest sharp, square-edged design and dramatically improved camera night mode, probably the top camera feature average people have asked for.

The Best PS-5 Games

The Best PS-5 Games

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Like Origins and Odyssey before it, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla continues the franchise's transformation into an epic, open-world, role-playing game. As Viking warrior Eivor, you sail through 9th century England and stomp everything in your path. Beyond raiding and pillaging, you’ll also build and nurture a settlement, as well as get wrapped up in the larger Assassin’s Creed mythology shenanigans.

Astro's Playroom

Astro’s Playroom may be a free PlayStation 5 pack-in title, but it’s still one of the best games on the system. Building upon Team Asobi’s great work on past Astro Bot games, this 3D platformer takes you through PlayStation’s rich history, from a museum dedicated to the PS1 to a demonstration of all the innovative, immersive haptic features you’ll enjoy with the PS5 DualSense controller.

Demon's Souls

Back in 2009, the PS3-exclusive Demon’s Souls birthed an entirely new genre of inscrutable, brutally difficult action-RPGs. Without it, we wouldn’t have Dark Souls, Bloodborne, or the recently released Elden Ring. Now, Bluepoint Games has remade FromSoftware’s original nightmare. Enjoy the same great punishment with a shiny, new coat of PS5 paint.

Death Stranding: 

After severing ties with Konami, Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima let his freak flag truly fly with Death Stranding. This is a game where Norman Reedus carries a baby in a jar to rebuild America by delivering packages and defeating time ghosts. The PS5 Director’s Cut spruces up the graphics, tweaks a few mechanics, and adds new story missions. But we’re really just here for more Mads Mikkelsen.

Deathloop

You know what you’re getting into when you play an Arkane game. Titles like Dishonored and Prey give you fascinating powers that let you creatively approach and disrupt their intricately designed clockwork worlds. Deathloop takes this to the next level. Trapped on an island caught in a time loop, you play as an assassin who must figure out how to murder all your targets in one day. Through repeated runs, you gain the skills and knowledge necessary to make time itself bend to your will.

Devil May Cry 5: 

Devil May Cry invented the “stylish action” genre by letting you slash and shoot your way through hordes of monsters, while looking as cool as possible. This next-gen Devil May Cry 5 upgrade shows why no franchise (except for maybe Bayonetta) does the genre better. Swap between different characters (Dante, Nero, and V), each with their own unique demon-slaying powers. The underworld doesn’t stand a chance.

Ghost of Tsushima: 

Sony returns to its Japanese roots with Ghost of Tsushima, a majestic open-world action-adventure set during the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. Travel through windswept fields pulled straight out of Kurosawa movies. Engage in precise sword duels and stealthy takedowns. This PS5 upgrade even adds an entirely new region, Iki Island, to explore.

God of War Ragnarok

Kratos may be an iconic game hero, but the 2018 God of War reboot miraculously turned the wrathful god into an actual character instead of just an avatar of divine destruction. God of War Ragnarok delivers more of the same as Kratos and his son Atreus face fend off more Norse gods as the end of days approaches. The already stellar combat system gains new depth and creativity, while the vast levels look even more stunning as they're presented as a single take.
