Is it still worth buying in 2026?
Yes, especially if you can find one at a good refurbished or used price. The A15 Bionic chip remains fast, camera quality is still excellent, and battery life is among the best of older iPhones. However, newer models offer USB-C, improved cameras, Dynamic Island, and faster chips.
If you’re considering buying one, I can also compare it with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, 15 Pro Max, or 16 series
