> an old smartphone collecting dust in a drawer that could be had practically free. Needed to use an old smartphone in a drawer recently, due to current one failing. Unfortunately they tend to be too old to install current apps. Good for calls, text and web, but not for random laundry app of the week. Same with friends' old drawer phones. If you're poor the phones you buy are often second hand too, which exacerbates the problem of the old one in the drawer being out of date for current apps by the time you need to get it out again as a backup.
