It totaly depends on how important you think a device is.
I bought a $100 Motorola and plan to keep it until the battery isn't charging anymore.
So if I can keep it for 5 years I think $20 per year is reasonable.
Comparing this to the iPhone it will save me $980 a year. That's a nice holiday with my family...

- graeme 8y agoThat device won't have security updates. So you just dismessed a major part of OP's reasoning: they don't want an insecure phone and don't want to hand one off to their kids. Maybe that's what you meant by important?
