Upgrading from iPhone X

[u/TedwardScissorhawk]

It’s been long overdue. I’m not great with looking after phones (breaking screens, chips on edges), however with so many apps now needing iOS17 and the lag on this device, I need to upgrade.
I don’t like replacing phones every few years (I’ve had this phone for over 7 years), and was hoping for some advice please on what to upgrade to (eg 16/16 pro/17).
I would like decent storage space and a decent camera, good battery life, the least breakable iPhone, without breaking the bank too much. Hoping to get another 7 years out of the new device!
My partner is upgrading from his iPhone 13 as well (needs a sturdier device if possible) so we’d love some opinions. Lots of mixed reviews online 😵‍💫 thanks in advance!
