Please suggest the cheapest iPhone which I need to test my iPhone App.

Hello Friends,
I have develop a 3rd party iPhone app on my macOS 15 VM. It seems running. However, the IDE told me I needed Metal graphic support to test the app. iPhone simulator engine running on VM does not seem working.

So, can you recommend a cheap iphone so I can test my iPhone app?


Yours faithfully.

I am using an older iPhone XS (10) which runs iOS 18.7.9, these are fairly inexpensive to buy on the secondhand market. Back Market, eBay and other resellers come to mind.

If you need an iPhone that runs iOS 26.x then you need to be looking at an iPhone 11 or newer.
