except for a 5-generations-newer chip, 5G, double the storage, display improvements, and 5+ years of software support i'm not saying it's much of an improvement. but some of those old iphones are around the stagnation point of phone progress for the average user. the 5 year difference translates to ~half the launch price, with modernizations and future support. it's a pretty good deal and upgrade for someone coming from an older iphone 7, who doesn't need a $1k "flagship". doesn't seem like a fault at all that it's not even more better. this isn't the spec phone
