Both these phones have been cited by some as two of the best handsets ever released by Apple in 2018. Of course, technology evolved at breakneck speed, and what people look for in a smartphone can be subjective. However, it does showcase how respected Apple is as a manufacturer, which can be seen by its many iterations of the handset over the years.
