3rd most, after the 4

[–] FlyingLlama280@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The 5, my god why can’t Apple bring back that design!

[–] firewire_9000@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It was so cool and “futuristic” at the time, that I sold my iPhone 8 Plus after two months when the X came out. It was like the 8 Plus was a relic of the past.

Lots of people here are saying the 4, but I agree, the X was absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful device it really grabbed my attention and I was an android guy.

I'd say 5, in matt black it was gorgeous

The X Model is the ugliest One

[–] GuilleBriseno@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Probably the iPhone 4 and then as a slightly distant second, the iPhone X.

[–] pristinerevenge@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's either the 4 or the 5s, and not that.

Most iconic idk but for me the most beautiful

[–] DarthMauly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I change every year or two years. Always sell on my old phones, but the X I kept.

Keep all my work stuff set up on it with a 2nd Apple ID, playa around with the Betas every now and then. Just such a nice phone.

[–] Apokalupt0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I still have one lying around, looks so good. It’s crazy how most of the competition quickly tried to copy the design.

[–] MEGA_TOES@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The 11! It started the design language we know

[–] mura_vr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I still miss 3D Touch. It was so much more convenient than what we have now.

[–] DunkinTacoAlfa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still holding on one even though I had a newer one.

That haptic feedback on buttons really felt astronomical.

[–] asaripot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The rose gold xs was my first iPhone. It stayed in an otter box for years in mint condition. Hands down the most beautiful phone I’ve ever owned. I have the mint green 12 now and it’s nice, but did not wow me like the Xs did.

[–] Talktotalktotalk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I predict this design will come back for the iPhone XX along with a true edge to edge screen

[–] rmajor86@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

X actually changed the game

[–] Talktotalktotalk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Even the glass back was better on this, it was a lot more grippy

[–] joelmsantos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I actually love the 11. I’m still with my 11 Pro, to be honest.

[–] Switch-user-101@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

IMO it was the 6, going to curved designs

[–] Smooth-Evidence-3970@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m still on my 3g….

[–] theflawedprince@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

4, 6, X

4 cuz duh.

6 cuz the iPhone grew up.

X because of the notch :)

[–] mrbcroo7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

IMO iPhone 4/4S - premium design looking phone iPhone 5/5S - slowly getting into bigger phones iPhone X/XS - no button and face id

I do wonder if we are going to get a big difference any time soon, or we will just move things around a bit like with dynamic island, position of cameras, small stuff like that…
