Check, iPhones, list, Stop, surprised, updating

Maybe you've managed to resist the temptation to upgrade your iPhone to a new iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro. In this case, you will be left with an iPhone from a previous generation. With iOS 18 Apple has done a fantastic job in bringing very aesthetic new features like the new control center or the change in color of the icons. But what will happen with iOS 19? Apple generally limits its new updates to older iPhones and it is common for more models to be added to the “non-updatable” list each year.

What version of iOS is coming in 2025?

The version of iOS that we will see in 2024 will be iOS 19, an update in which stability will be emphasized. Apple has invested a lot of resources in Apple Intelligence and this has been reflected in both the stability of iOS 18 and the availability of staff to deal with major changes in a new version.

iPhone 17 Air: features, price and everything we think we know about it

Which iPhone should I buy to avoid being obsolete?

The most obvious answer to this question is to buy the newest iPhone possible, but we know that prices are what they are. If you're looking for a balance between price and an iPhone that can still be updated for another three or four years, you might consider purchasing one of the following models (new or refurbished):

Apple iPhone 13 (128 GB) - at midnight

Apple iPhone 13 (128 GB) – at midnight

*Some prices may have changed since the last review

The best quality-price option is found in the iPhone 13, although the iPhone 15 also integrates very interesting technologies like the Dynamic Island or a 48 megapixel camera. Of course, we cannot ignore the next iPhone SE 4, which promises to revolutionize the iPhone market with a price of around 500 dollars. Please note that Buying (or having) an iPhone that can no longer be updated in one or two years is not a tragedy either. It will continue to work even if it is “pinned” to a previous operating system. It all depends on your needs, your budget and how you will use the phone.
