minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down2·2 days agoThe only answer is money at that point. I don’t know how much phones are these days, but aren’t iPhones like $1400, but Android is like $900? I may be wrong though. Last time I bought a phone was 2018, and it was $600. Still using it.

minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 day agoOh, I was comparing flagships, because iphone doesn’t have a non-flagship to compare to.
minus-squareRedFrank24@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoI already tend to buy the expensive flagship models of phones. I buy unlocked and it lasts me ~5+ years, so I get the best phone I can get at the time and make it last, so money isn’t as much of an issue if I were to move to an iPhone.
