Before you choose
Consider
Ledger StaxOn iPhone, transactions use Bluetooth. Some cryptocurrencies require a separate wallet app.
Ledger Nano XChoose a touchscreen if you prefer touch input to button-by-button review. An iPhone-only owner needs access to a computer or Android for the first OS update if Nano X is still below version 2.4.1.
