I have now graced the internet with my iPod Tier List! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI44Emzey8w

I feel like the 5S in C is a bit harsh considering what it brought to the table. 64-bit, touch ID, 6 years iOS support, iOS 7. Entertaining video though!
-
The 5S being that far down is literally unacceptable. It was such a good phone and for long years my daily driver (until I got my X after which my mother used it until very recently). It should at least be higher than the 5, as it's such a step up...
-
the 4s was by far my favorite phone. it may just be nostalgia , but it's a perfect device. i recently used it at like 3am to finish a school assignment because i have screentime and couldn't access google classroom. somehow this phone actually worked wonderfully , i could listen to spotify , watch youtube , and check my emails , granted it was a bit slow. i love this thing , it really deserves to be up there in S tier.
-
Man, you need to update this Tier List each year! It's great, brings back so many memories. Shoot an additional episode with introductions of 14|/15 lineups.

I have always thought that the 5S didn't get enough love. It was compact, had a headphone jack, 64 bit architecture, biometrics...it was the genesis of the "modern" iphone. While android had phones with better hardware, the 5S was so well optimized and well built that it is still supported today. I have since moved to android after multiple iphones; but the 5s continues to be the only one I miss.
-
The iPhone 11 also had a faster chip, 1GB more RAM, a bigger battery, the front camera went from 7mpx to 12mpx (so 4K video) and it launched at a cheaper price than the XR launched at
-
I think the 5s is at least an A tier, it's still plenty fast on its last supported version of IOS, and truly was the first "Modern" iPhone. Its design was used all the way up to the SE 2016, and elements are still used in current iPhones with its thin, squared off sides
-
Love my iPhone 11 Pro. Couldn’t agree more with Quinn on the midnight green color and how comfortable the rounded edges are compared to squared off ones.
-
6 higher than 6s? Must disagree. Even way back, it was a great change when started using the 6s. New touch ID generation, 3D touch and the speed was just on different level. Actually, still use it for some lighter stuff till today 📱
-
5S absolutely deserved a better tier than C. Despite the flawed release of iOS 7, it's a foundation of today's iOS, and it brought features we take for granted like biometrics.
-
Have to agree with you about the iPhone X. It’s the first time I wasn’t on a regular update schedule. In fact I’ve kept it until I updated to the 14pro. Excellent phone and a good enough camera
-
thank goodness for the guide. I'm in need of an upgrade 2 weeks before apple released the iPhone 14 and I haven't paid attention to iPhone news since the iPhone XS so thank you Snazzy Labs!!!!!!!
-
The iPhone XR had better battery life than the XS and XS Max… it was actually pitched as the best battery life ever in an iPhone at the time. Deserves to be much higher on the list.
-
The 5S is an S tier phone. It’s still the best looking iPhone, it was a major leap in speed, reliability (the 5 had many major reliability issues), with Touch ID in tow. The 6 next year was larger, but the phone itself looked worse and made the next many years look pretty bad.
-
This tierlist should specify that the ranking is based on the upgradeability based on the previous gen... I must say I found little no sense in the ranking itself, but the summary on what each phone was and introduced/removed was spot on
-
Im actually so amazed by the prices back then. I’ve forgotten as recent memory expects me to pay 800-1200 for an iPhone these days.
-
The iPhone 6S’s durability overhaul was a HUGE DEAL when it came out, I remember Youtubers tried dropping them from drones and the screen would still be working, unheard-of for an iPhone before that point. I think it should be ranked higher because it set the standard for iPhones being durable, something apple likes to advertise about nowadays.
-
iTunes Phone was better than all of these ngl
-
I've been tempted to 'downgrade' my 12 Mini to the 11 Pro for the reasons you mentioned - green, battery and better hand feel. I liked those curved glass edges. The screen size is a great blend between the 12 Mini and 12/12Pro sizes. They got too big.
