What iPhone should I get? And should I get one now?

iPhone SE (with Home Button) alongside iPhone X (no Home Button)

A few clients have asked me recently what phone I would recommend for them.

If you are thinking of getting a new phone, it would be worth holding off for another few weeks if you can - as the new range of iPhones is set to be announced (if rumours are true) in another couple of weeks. These phones will all be versions that have FaceID and are minus a Home Button. I'm sure they will all have excellent cameras, and they will most likely be 5G enabled.

But I know that many of you prefer an iPhone that still has a Home Button and TouchID.

Should I upgrade to iOS 14 yet (or iPadOS 14)?

Update 14/10/20:

iOS 14.0.1 seems to quite stable and should be relatively safe for those of you waiting to upgrade. Apple is shipping iOS 14.0.1 with its new iPhone 12s that can be pre-ordered on Friday this week, so that's a good sign for the stability of the release.

Here's a video from Apple on how to upgrade. Of course, always make sure you have a backup before you upgrade. Here is Apple's video that takes you through how to back up your mobile device to iCloud.

Previously published 27/9/20:

You probably already know that the latest upgrade to the iPhone and iPad (and Apple Watch) operating systems is now available - iOS 14 for iPhone and iPadOS for 14 iPad.

I always recommend that, given that new upgrades often contain 'glitches', it is worth waiting for at least a little while before you install the new operating system. For this year's upgrade, there was also the issue that Apple released it very quickly after it was announced, meaning that many developers of Apps were not quite ready to release their App update to support this new operating system. There was an increased risk that some apps might not initially work.

Fixes have been released already by Apple

Only 8 days after the Sept 17th release of iOS 14/iPadOS 14, Apple then released (on 25/9) to fix some early issues. iOS / iPadOS 14.0.1 is now available for download and installation.
