iPhone Buyer's Guide


Looking for the perfect iPhone? Can’t decide which one’s right for you? Never fear, CeX is here with our handy breakdown so you can find the perfect iPhone for you.


iPhone SE (Gen 2)

Apple's revamp of the iPhone SE brings back everything that you loved about the iPhone 7 & 8 (Including the sorely missed fingerprint scanner!) but packs it full of cutting edge tech and a great camera to give you one of the best value for money phones available right now. If you want old-school looks with new-school tech and iOS software updates for many years to come, this is the phone for you!

iPhone 11 Pro & 11 Pro Max

If you’re crazy about those camera capabilities or are even just a bit of a picture perfectionist, this is the iPhone for you.

The 11 Pro range boasts 3 cameras at the back: Ultra Wide, Wide and Telephoto cameras & 4k video recording. You’ll also find a selfie camera that can capture slow-mo, or as Apple call it a “slofie”, and an incredible step up in Night Mode from previous iterations. The Pro and the Pro Max both come with Face ID and  Apple Pay. The 11 pro range is splash, dust and water-resistant with amazing OLED displays.

iPhone 11

If you’re looking for a newer iPhone with a big screen and some great camera capabilities, this is the one for you, with the added bonus of coming in some playful pastels too!

The iPhone 11 comes with a dual-camera at the back, 4k video recording, a selfie camera that captures slow-mo and carries an impressive Night Mode function. It’s part of the overall iPhone 11 range, so of course, you also get apple standards such as Face ID and Apple Pay. The iPhone 11 is splash, dust and waterproof resistant and is a bit like the 11 Pro’s younger, more fun cousin. What makes it more fun? Apple launched an entirely new colour range with the iPhone 11 which you can get in some amazing pastels as well as their white & black variants.

iPhone XR

The XR is the perfect iPhone if you want something modern, colourful and to cover all the basics, without splashing out on features that you just won’t use.

The iPhone XR is great if you want a fun, up-to-date phone, without paying out more for extra cameras that you might not need! The iPhone XR has a 12MP camera, 4k video recording and a sharp 7MP front-facing camera for your Animoji & Memoji fix. FaceID capabilities and Apple pay feature in the phone. The iPhone XR is splash, dust and water-resistant.

iPhone XS & XS Max

The iPhone XS and the XS Max are pretty much identical, with the same specs, colour and capacity options, so it really just depends how big you want your screen to be!

The XS and XS Max hold pretty much the same insides as the XR, but with an elegant glass back design. The XS and XS Max mirror the dual camera from the previous iPhone X, with 4k video recording and a 7MP front-facing camera. As with every phone from the iPhone X range, the XS and XS Max have FaceID, Apple pay and both phones are splash, dust and water-resistant.

iPhone X

With the slogan “Say hello to the future” that’s exactly what it was for them, a piece of the future. For the hardcore Apple fans, grab yourself a piece of Apple history as these are no longer being produced.

Apple’s iPhone X was the first of their phones to feature a “bezel-less” design. It’s sleek, it’s shiny and was a phone full of iPhone firsts for Apple. The iPhone X boasted Apple’s first 5.8” OLED phone screen. Face ID was also introduced, removing the fingerprint scanner that you see in the iPhone 8 range, allowing for an edge to edge display. 

The back features dual 12MP cameras, with 4k video recording capabilities, as well as Apple’s first TrueDepth 7MP camera at the front. The iPhone X is splash, dust and water-resistant.

Screen: 5.8”
Camera: 12MP

Colours: Silver /Space Grey 
Processor: A11 Chip



iPhone 8 & 8 Plus 

If you’re not a fan of FaceID, aren’t fussed about fancy colours or just simply don’t mind not having the latest phone, then maybe an iPhone 8 is the one for you.

The iPhone 8 & 8 Plus are true to the iPhone’s original designs. It pretty much shares most of the internal bits of an iPhone X, but imagine all of that in the body of an iPhone 7 and you’ve got yourself the 8 range. Big on the inside, but smaller on the screen size.

The 8 Plus shows 12MP dual cameras on the back, whilst the iPhone 8 has one 12MP camera, both phones have 4k recording capabilities and 7MP front-facing camera. This was the last Apple phone to have fingerprint ID, it still has Apple pay. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are both splash, dust and water-resistant.

Screen: 8 4.7” / 8 Plus 5.5”
Camera: 12MP
Storage: 64GB / 128GB
Colours: Silver / Space Grey / Gold 
Processor: A11 Chip



iPhone 7 & 7 Plus

If you want a cheaper phone that still does it all, grab yourself an iPhone 7 today. 

The iPhone 7 is a great phone for those who don’t want something overly flashy, in fact, it’s currently our most popular iPhone! It’s a great starter phone for anyone just getting into iPhones, and covers all your basic needs in one device!

The iPhone 7s have a great 12MP camera on the back, with 4k video recording capabilities and 7MP front-facing camera. Both phones have Fingerprint ID, Apple pay and are splash, dust and water-resistant. 

Screen: 7 4.7” / 7 Plus 5.5”
Camera: 12MP
Storage: 32GB / 128GB
Colours: Silver / Black / Gold / Rose Gold
Processor: A10 Chip



iPhone SE

This small but mighty machine is great for anyone who’s really not a fan of the larger, thinner designs of more recent iPhones. Compact and clever, the iPhone SE might just be for you. 

If the iPhone SE had a cap it would read Tiny but Powerful. You’ll find a 12MP back camera with 4k recording capabilities that were leaps ahead of its time and a 1.2MP front-facing camera as well as Fingerprint ID. Released with an A9 chip, more powerful than its successor in the iPhone 6, and a 4” screen, the iPhone SE is more than capable of covering all of your basic needs. 

Screen: 4”
Camera: 12MP
Storage: 32GB / 128GB
