I buy a discount old non-iPhone from Target for $29. When I drop it and it's destroyed, I drop by Target and get another one.
I have in my lifetime spent less than 10% of one iPhone on phones total.
It runs maybe half as fast as a current phone. At 3% of the price.
- returningfory2 4y agoThe math doesn’t check out? My iPhone SE is $430 new, so as soon as you’ve bought two of these throwaway phones you’re over 10%? Making this comment to push back on the idea that somehow iPhones are insanely expensive; the SE is not.
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoJust bragging. And yes they are insanely expensive. And the SE is half the phone the most expensive iPhone is. About the same phone I have. So there's then no reason at all to buy it over a $29 phone. At least not from my point of view
- nebula8804 4y agoI used to buy these phones. There is a value in not having to deal with some garbage build of Android in day to day usage. Just because you are fine with this compromise does not mean the majority of the Apple user base will be.
