I used to use a Motorola phone I got off Amazon for like $200. It was great, but various factors have caused me to return to using an iPhone. Looking online a bit maybe it was the G7 plus?

My favorite "feature" of these Android phones is the price. It's like having insurance on your phone. If you lose or break it, it's not $1500 down the tubes.

Honestly that's my favorite feature of iPhones too. I've always bought used iPhones 2-3 generations behind. And they're often supported for many years.

Current iPhone is 1st generation SE 2016, probably worth less than $80 and runs latest iOS.


I’ve usually bought 1-2 generations behind, often at the $250-400 price point, and then run them for 3-4 years or so. I just replaced the battery on my wife’s X and that looks like it’ll now go well past the 4 year mark.
