How do you choose the right size for your iPhone?

During your search for the best iPhone for you, you should also keep the size in mind. Do you choose a small iPhone 13 Mini, the medium-sized iPhone 14 or 15, or does the large iPhone 15 Plus or 15 Pro Max suit your better? In this article, you can read what to keep in mind for the size of your iPhone.

Choose an iPhone size

Choose iPhone

We'll help you choose the right size by going through the following:

  • The difference between the regular, Plus, and Max versions
  • Controlling a small screen with 1 hand
  • The iPhone 15 and 15 Pro have a medium size
  • iPhone models with the same size

The difference between regular, Mini, Plus, and Max versions

Different iPhone sizes

Many Apple devices are available in a large version. The Apple iPhone 14 and 15 have a larger 'Plus' and 'Pro Max' version. In addition to a larger screen and size, the Plus and Max models also have a larger battery and/or more RAM.

With the iPhone 12 Mini, Apple released their first small version of the starter model. The iPhone 13 Mini and 12 Mini have a compact 5.4-inch screen. The downside is that the devices have a shorter battery life. From the iPhone 13, the series no longer include mini models. This means that there are no iPhone 14 Mini or 15 Mini models. If you want a smaller iPhone, choose a refurbished model.

Carry in your pocket: smallest iPhone models

iPhone in pocket

For many people, their pockets aren't large enough for an iPhone. But if your pockets are large enough, it's nice if your device fits. Choose an iPhone 13, 13 Mini, iPhone 12, 12 Mini, or iPhone SE 2022 in this case. You can also easily control the screen of a small device with 1 hand.

Medium size: iPhone 15 and 15 Pro

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro

The iPhone 15 and 15 Pro are in between the sizes of other models in the same generation. This way, they have a convenient medium size if you find the Mini too small and the Max too large. These models have a bezel-less 6.1-inch screen, and their size belongs to the 'medium-sized' category.

Watch movies and play games: a large screen

Gaming and watching movies on an iPhone

Do you like to play a mobile game in the waiting room of your dentist, or do you like to watch Netflix on your iPhone? It's nice to immerse yourself in as many details as possible. The larger the screen, the more vibrant your favorite characters look. You can choose from the iPhone 15 Pro (Max), iPhone 15 (Plus), iPhone 14 Pro (Max), 14 (Plus), 13 Pro, and 13 Pro (Max).
