The only ones that have technically 1080p resolution is the 6 plus, 6s plus, 7 plus, and 8 plus. All the others are either sub 1080p or higher than 1080p. The only 1080p iPhone still supported is the 8 plus which you would probably end up experiencing some issues due to the 5 year old A11 Bionic. It’s still good for day to day tasks and such, but even then it’s not the best or fastest. Graphics is definitely a sore spot in terms of that phone due to it being 5 years behind current GPU power in iPhones. It can be done theoretically but not sure how good the experience would be.

I only want one for xCloud and geforcenow as I cannot for the life of me find a 1080p phone or tablet available

Grab a used iPhone 8 Plus on Amazon, and if the battery needs replaced it’s like $30 bucks or something, probably only spend around $200 total give or take.

I’m trying to look for a brand new one. Some stores may have them still, hopefully. Rule of thumb for myself is to avoid buying second hand as much as possible, especially when it comes to electronics

Do you plan on activating it? Or just a wifi device? If so go check out TotalWireless. It’s a 3rd party phone carrier that’s owned by Verizon. I got a 6s plus a couple years ago from them so they usually carry a bunch of older devices new. They might still have 8 plus’s for sale new there, but don’t quote me. Not sure how their supply has changed but they had them last year when I was using their service before I switched to T-Mobile.

Well, I could also use it as a spare phone, I’ll try to check
