Absolutely correct. It's crazy to buy most tech new. My wife had an old 3G phone and replaced it a couple of years ago with an iPhone 7 for $90. Loves it. Needed a new battery recently, but that's been the only extra cost. My iMac is a refurb and so is our M1 air. I buy all my camera gear and audio gear used.

[@peterparker2068]

It's hard to say unless you just buy the older model. I buy mostly refurbished phones but the one thing about used/refurbished phones is that you don't know what the battery life is like unless you buy Apple refurbished. At least with a new phone you get a new battery. Last year was the first year I bought a new older model iPhone. I got the iPhone 13 since the price has dropped and I traded in an older phone and had some credits. The thing about iPhones is the price doesn't drop that much. So if you get an older model that is new in the box then the prices isn't that much of a difference. I just wanted to treat myself last year and it was the first time I bought a new phone in probably ten years.

[@saburotoshio]

This makes me grateful about my iPhone Xs. I’ve been using it for years and now I just had to change the battery because it drains like reallyfast. But overall, it’s still pretty great phone and enough for my use. I’m planning to upgrade to a newer iPhone (either 14 or 15) by 2025 or later, and going to use it for 3+ years. Until then I’ll use my Xs until Apple stopped updates for it.

[@peterparker2068]

The end of life cycle is just around the corner. I think they killed off the iPhone 8 updates. Roughly it's a six years of support for iPhones.

Using an Xs too! it still performs well and I know it will still be usable for years. Camera is also still good, it’s just the battery that needs to be replaced. I only have 76% battery health with 4-5 hours straight of screen time so I might just replace it also.

[@ColinsCity]

This phone is beyond capable of doing modern tasks and should have received iOS17, it is not the same as the iPhone 8 which is also still quite capable, unfortunately the X does have some issues from a manufacturing standpoint which mine fell victim to on Tuesday, the screen can become unresponsive to touch but usually a hard reset fixes it but over the week this stopped working and the phone is completely unresponsive to touch even after being factory reset when the phone did respond to touch and then again when in DFU mode. I don't like the idea of carrying a $1,000 device when i go out, that is a lot of responsibility and worry about losing it. dropping it or getting stolen. All iPhones from the X onwards are so capable of doing all modern tasks that there is no reason to financially burden yourself to buy something as a status symbol and with the rate of iPhone thefts i think that status symbol can become a target in some cases which is very unfortunate.

Yes they absolutely could have supported iOS 17. Such a shame

[@UteGirlz]

By getting older/cheaper tech, what do you get to spend more on with the money you save? I have a friend who loves his tech. Galaxy Fold, High end PC, Home cinema setup, ebike, Tesla etc. But to afford those he cheaps out on almost every other aspect in life like food and clothing. Doesn't drink any alcohol or coffee. Very little going out to social events. Never goes on holidays. And no girlfriend/wife. But he's very happy doing what he likes which is tech stuff.

[@techno_eclipse]

I think that’s fine. I just want people to invest their money. The number of people retiring with no where near enough in retirement is staggering. I also don’t want people to be materialists and only get value out of thing.

[@peterparker2068]

You should watch or listen to "I will teach you to be rich" podcast. That's one of his philosophies, spend money on things that make you happy instead of mindless spending and invest the rest. But of course have an emergency fund. Live your rich life.

[@Get_yotted]

I think not spending on alcohol or coffee is a good thing, those two are the most abused substances. Clothes, what is the point of designer clothes? It has not extra features, not advantages. With tech usually the more expensive has added functionality, but comparing $50 sketchers to $200 Nike’s I feel like the sketchers feel better. Social events, some people don’t like going out to parties. I prefer small get togethers with close friends.

Literally the only last iPhone that actually has a major upgrade compared the previous one (iPhone 8), and because of this, after the next 6-7 iterations, this phone still haven’t been obsolete and almost exactly the same as the latest iPhone, which means there’s not much reason to upgrade other than some quirky features that you rarely use. Good job Apple. Planning to see if I can survive with this phone for the next 10 years?

imo - get an iPhone XS. just like the 3G got the upgrade to the 3GS which made it significantly better (and more software support), the X did with the not much more expensive XS

[@catfishxX]

iPhone is not the only brand producing good stuff. I had a P30 Pro, which I used for like 3 years ig. Now about a half a year ago, I got a very good phone contract/ deal and bought a Pixel 7 (also as I wanted to try something new). You asked what happened to the p30 Pro? Well it is still an amazing phone, which is used by my lil sis now. Will live for another 2-3 years at least until we give it to family living back in asia (poor country) Normally, I would stay with one phone until the day it wouldn't work anymore. The Thing is, that I am a tech enthusiast so I kinda like trying new stuff. Therefore, I will probably change my phone every 2 years, when my contracts end. But still, my phones always will find a next User. Btw, I got an Iphone SE 1 in Pink as my 2nd phone as I love the design.

But, we're getting a great deal, and Apple supported my iPhone 8 until 2023, when I got it in 2019 and it released in 2017. It was great for a long time but it also kinda sucks now, so I need a new one that will last a long time. I WILL make my 15 stretch for AT LEAST 5 years like my 8, it will last until 2029. I think.

[@jayh40515]

I agree with the buying a used Iphone instead of new. My last 3 phones, XR, Se 3, and Iphone 12 pro were bought used. Between buying and selling, cost me $400 all in, and all 3 were unlocked at the time. Also I have used prepaid for the last 6 years, and most expensive plan I have had was $20 a month. I will never go back to buying a phone from a carrier. Currently using 12 pro, don't see a reason to upgrade for the next few years.

[@rstigc8407]

Man I used an Iphone SE since 2016 up until 2022 when it stopped getting newer IOS versions, never ever had a hiccup with it other than battery life. Ended finaly upgrading to a Iphone 8 Plus for about a Year and then got the brand new 14PM 512gb(at the time). Still Im a huge beliver that Iphones really can last as mutch as you want. 6 years for a Phone nowadays sounds hella crazy. But im planning to do the same with my 14pm, use it until there no more updates for it

[@imacg5]

Just changed my iPhone 8 plus for an iPhone 15. About 3D touch: you can long press on newer iPhone models to get the same effect. It's not as satisfying as the OG 3D touch, but you can get the job done. About screen: OLED is definitely a win, even if iPhone 15 doesn't support 120 Hz. About cameras: main camera actually doesn't have a huge upgrade except for the 24 MP mode and night mode, but selfie camera is leaps and bounds better. Ultra wide replaces the telephoto camera, which is a bummer for me since I shoot macros more than landscape. All in all, I can let go of my 8 plus without missing, but can't call 15 a clear win. About multi-task: due to its RAM size, the 8 plus struggles to run more than 5 apps in the background, some modern app gets purged even with just 3 apps running at the same time. This is a minor annoyance for older models, since you don't really need to run a wall of apps, but 15 is definitely superior, with some future-proof. About performance and battery: this is the main reason I decided to upgrade now. After 6.5 years, my 8 plus just can't spend a day without 2 charges, even after I changed the battery last year. I found out that if I don't use it, 1 charge can last around 3 days, so the fast battery drain definitely has things to do with the modern OS, but - what's the point of having a phone and not using it? Conclusion: if you're a light user, iPhone 8 plus can serve you well with a battery change, and try to stay before iOS 14 if possible. In this category, I set my iPhone 15 to charge to 80% max, and can still get by a day without charging, so I'm pretty happy about this. About security: oh how I miss Touch ID. iPhone 8 plus doesn't have the best fingerprint recognition tech, like you can't unlock with a wet hand (eg. in shower), but it works pretty consistently. But when using Face ID, I have to wear my glasses for the phone to recognize me, even after I register an "alternative face" without glasses. This is a huge reason why I chose 8 plus over X in 2017, and Apple still haven't figured it out in 2024.

[@BoatLoadsofDope]

My galaxy z fold 2 just stopped working, then i remembered i had an old iphone x laying around. Got it started up again, and the original battery has only lost 11% of maximum capacity. Works like a charm and basically perform as back when i bought it in 2017 at release. I think i can delay an upgrade for a couple of years now. It was the first iphone with faceid, and it still works perfectly, i'm surprised how well it has kept up with time.

I've been using an iPhone Xs Max since August 2023 when my android phone broke. If I'm being honest, the battery life is pretty bad and there are some software issues here and there (especially now since it's overheating a lot). I can only ever use it for 2-3 hours max because it would die after (even though I'm only using it for social media), however the best thing about it is the camera, design, and software support. I'm honestly amazed at how the Xs Max, released in 2018, is still being supported now in 2024, six years later despite the above issues I've stated. Though honestly, I believe some of the issues came as this phone has a lot of aftermarket parts. I don't have much complaints because I got it for free lol.

[@mrwiz124]

Just to note for the rest, technology is the biggest part of most peoples lives, you’ll probably spend the most time on your phone and computer for various reasons, and you will be utilising new tech for hobby’s and work. An iPhone X doesn’t even hold a candle to a 15 pro max performance wise, so if you need the performance, battery, signal strength etc then don’t feel bad getting it. If you just use it to text and call then getting an x is fine.

I also have an iPhone 12 mini and a X but also a XS The 3 phones operate the same, in fact, every iPhone that has no home button operate the exact same style. Not much difference when upgrading except the different cameras and the battery life of each and the chipsets. Not worth upgrading to anything beyond the 12 mini.

I’m still using iPhone 7 for now. Beside battery problem, I don’t have any to complain.

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

I tried old iphones, and it was unbearably laggy, frustratingly janky, and crashed frequently. Thus, I switched to Android. I don't know why apple users make a big deal about updates because the updates have always slowed down my iphone. Apple's intentional slow down of iphones have forced me to remain on the same iphone version for 3 to 4 years.

[@techno_eclipse]

The importance would be the security patches. But I hear you, any suggestions on solid old Android phones?

[@hieuniverse]

Right off the bat is the mention of 3D Touch, man do I miss it

[@muhammadediilfa8513]

still usable, replacement battery r quite cheap, and of course the premium feel of "stainless steel" body

[@Yashas_Nayaka_16]

I am happy with my 12 mini using since launch 🙏

[@kenji4330]

After i decide whether i keep the samsung or the iPhone i should really stop thinking about any of the newer phones and not upgrade until like 2027, its so crazy how the human brain works sometimes, just getting thoughts like, “get the iphone 15 pro” for no reason makes me feel stupid af. Also, today i went on my first real run this year, gotta tell you, its so much harder to actually run after so much running on the spot, but im glad the weather finally allows me to go for runs.

[@techno_eclipse]

Warm weather is something I am really looking forward to. I am significantly more active when the sun is shining and the birds are chirping!

[@kenji4330]

@@techno_eclipseim both looking forward to it and not looking forward to it, yesterday it was 54 degrees farenheit, in a week its gonna be 80 already, in the summer it’s unbearable where i live.

Bought my 11 ProMax 512GB brand new in 2019. It is a beast!!! I also have an iPhone 12 and it is an inferior phone to the 11 ProMax, the only thing that is better, which I don’t care about, is that in dark mode, black is slightly sharper and deeper. Everywhere else it’s behind

[@daleemrick9816]

Absolutely no guarantee this phone could be sold for $100 a year to a year and a half from now.

[@lewellynjnr.tjakaurua177]

Thanks Bro, Appreciate it.

[@arnoldmbuthia2687]

while $1000 is a lot to use on every phone iteration, it does not ruin you financially. If it would you would not even have $1000 for recreational use

[@jish8681]

apple was absolutely mental not giving this ios 17, the ipad 6 with worse specifications got the update theres no reason why this shouldn't have

[@richarddavis5289]

iPhone SE here, it works better than my pixel 6. But the 6 definitely took better photos

[@BenjaminHyink]

This and the XS are the best looking iPhones Apple ever made

[@Sacto1654]

The iPhone X is still a very good phone, but it's really let down by the lack of 3GPP NR 5G connectivity and the fact the latest version of iOS compatible is iOS 16.7.7, which lack some of the features of iOS 17.x versions.

[@wht-rabt-obj]

Thank you for saying iPhone Ten instead of iPhone "ex". I always loose respect for creators that say "ex". Makes me feel like they aren't very knowledgeable about what they are speaking to.

[@johnzestercorps]

3D touch never died it just got renamed to Haptic Touch

[@techno_eclipse]

No, they took away the screen pressure sensing technology. They still have a fake 3D Touch, but its not the same

[@johnzestercorps]

@@techno_eclipse what do you mean can you explain

[@harleyquinnfps]

@@techno_eclipsewhat do you mean? Im playing game and haptic touch doing exactly what 3d touch does. No difference

[@LenovoProGaming]

i use the iphone 6s plus as my main and its fine

[@bosschungles]

I got the 6S when it came out and back then it was amazing, but back then it didnt seem all tha special as much as it felt solid and reliable... but today The A9 chipset has proven itself to be the most robust SoC that stood tests of time. My 6S is amazing. (With a fresh battery ofc)

[@LenovoProGaming]

@@bosschungles i still have the old battery and its fine from me as i dont use it much, got it a few days after release

[@EddyGraphic]

There’s nothing wrong with buying a new phone just don’t do it every year, I upgrade every 3 to 4 years and always pay full price, you should never finance it, you’ll end up paying twice the cost and be locked to a contract.

[@itsalwaysoniontime]

my main phone was literally an iphone 8 up until june when it broke

[@RobloxianX]

Realizing that the iPhone X is now “Cheap” is terrifying. What happened to those years?

[@CharlieWorldCcT]

This phone can do wathever the iphone 15 pro can, i mean the only real difference is battery and camera, and the camera factor is only important if you are a hard content creator, but for casual photos on Instagram still working very well!

[@zackzzedits]

I use an iPhone X daily for years now

[@jordawesome1716]

Most people aren’t buying a 1tb iPhone

[@strike9966]

The iPhone 11 pro is the PERFECT version of this, although it doesn't have 3D touch. I had a 15 pro but got rid of it, its unnecessary.
