I've never owned an iphone but I want to try one as my android phone is about to die. First one that came to my mind was the IPhone13 for the price, but maybe there are better models with the same price range. Could you help me? Also, the camera is not a huge priority to me. Thanks!

I got the iPhone 14 last March. For my uses, I would have been better off with a lower end Samsung, like the A14. I use the iPhone for maybe a total of 10 outgoing voice calls and text a month. Mostly, it is my watch if out of sight of a wall clock and aI listen to music streaming occasionally. It is way too fragile compared to my previous phones, and very slippery. I don’t take pictures on a phone so I can’t comment except my testing when new pictures were just ok. I bought the iPhone for fun after hearing about the Apple ecosystem being superior. No complaints, just a non intuitive learning curve. Make sure the seller teaches you how to turn it on and off before you give them money, smile. Two unlabeled buttons and then a virtual slide on my iPad was ridiculous. My hearing aids pair up via Bluetooth so the missing headphone jack was less important to me. No instructions or power block was annoying, but that did add to Apples profits.
