It goes on to list only Apple devices. That's a bit dubious when being self-proclaimed stingy.
One might recommend an off-brand device for a fifth of the price that will last half as long, or a competing brand for half the price that lasts just as long. Perhaps longer if you're interested in doing the upgrades yourself, something which isn't possible on a device that you don't actually get access to from the manufacturer.

- xboxnolifes 4y agoWith how much storage everything takes up nowadays, I wouldn't buy a phone with 64GB either. My current phone is 64GB, and it feels like I'm always teetering the line of being full. I don't even take pictures.
