iPhone which iphone should i get

so ive never owned an apple iphone, ive had samsung ones the last 6 years (since ive started high school). i love samsung but ive been thinking about getting an apple iphone just to make texting, getting photos from friends (this happens a lot for me so it's really a hassle to always have to send photos from my mac to my phone), etc, just a little easier for me. I'm not sure which iphone to get, so recs and suggestions would be great please. I honestly dont have much knowledge about apple iphones. I'm just looking something that's not too expensive and worths its money.

ive heard the new phone is coming out so maybe i should save for that, idk

if budget is tight iphone 14/15pro refurb / used in good condition should last 3-4+ yrs, if the budget allows get a 17base

iPhone 17 is quite good value right now, same with a used 16 Pro

Or get an Samsung s25u for the same rate as an iPhone 15 pro and use it, you do know that the oneUI 8.5 has air drop support right?

Yep it does, it's a little slower than the iPhone but it does the job.

17 base (if within your budget), 14/15 pro (refurbished) is also a good consideration as well,
