before my current phone I always bought secondhand. the only reason I got this one new was because I couldn’t afford the up front payment of a second hand phone so got a new one on contract to pay off over 3 years. Once my contract runs out I won’t be upgrading I’ll just keep this one until I run it into the ground or possibly sell it to buy a second hand one that has a less shit camera. My last iPhone I had longer than anyone thought was possible, and it was second hand to me! (iPhone SEs are almost unbreakableo swear). Ive never smashed an iPhone even after dropping it a lot (CASES PEOPLE CASES) and while I know planned obsolescence is a thing, I’ve found with phones that people use it to justify buying new ones much more than is necessary. I don’t buy any tech new if I can help it! Save the planet and save your money!
