I tend to buy the stuff that was new a year or two ago. Still pretty effective but much cheaper. I even stopped insuring my present Samsung a year ago and it's being upgraded in a week or so.
Mega-bucks for mobiles is crass. Apple is run by the devil and people who spend more that 15 minutes of their day looking at a phone should have their eyes poked out.
Carpy green phone - do me a favour

I echo what Yonny said , you can get better Android products just as good if not better for a lot less than what Apple charge
Edit.. if the colour is so important, just buy a ‘carpy' green cover for it if that's what your into

For me what keeps me on apple is the seamless use of iCloud. I literally use it every day for work and it happens automatically.
For example. I go out to do a landlord inspection. I snap a picture of the boiler data badge. I snap a picture of the readings that I set the boiler up to on my gas analyser. I take a screen grab of the gas rate from the iPhone app that the boiler manufacturer provides. All of these are dated, timed and geolocated automatically. Then they back up to the icloud automatically. At any point in the future I can prove exactly how I left the appliance running.
Also if I find something not to the regs, I take a picture which again is automatically backed up. Then later in the week when I email the land lord, I attach the pics to the email. Again this way I can prove I've informed the customer of any issues. The pictures are mirrored to my iPad before I even get home. Ready to use.
Plus if I destroy or lose a phone it doesn't matter as it's all on iCloud and this costs me 89p a month. Which I think is great value.
I know iPhones are expensive and far from perfect but for a business user they save me so much time. My issue is that I find it very easy to smash them.

Hey Rexy, Also try Google Photos, no cost and auto Update. Can be transferred from phone to phone re-downloaded back to your Phone at anytime. Saves using your phone storage.
Been using iPhones seamlessly for 8 years now and zero issues. One broken screen from leaning against the cover of an engine Block without a screen protector.
Getting the IPhone 11 pro soon. Upgrades overdue and gave me a fantastic offer

Brought myself a mous case when the iPhone X came out. Have dropped my phone dozen of times and it's saved it every time and the phone is still good as new 2 years on.

I wouldn't touch a Samsung, I had the original Galaxy s in 2010 and it started playing up after two years, constantly crashing, upgraded to a Galaxy S2 (I think?) after two years that started getting hot and 'cooked' the micro sd card inside it and I lost over two hundred photos, even my Galaxy tab I bought in 2014 slowed right down. So even though I liked the Android system I bit the bullet and went for an iPhone 6S in 2016, after being an Android user it took a bit of getting used to the ios system but now i'd never go back, iPhone is far better built, mostly metal rather than cheap Samsung plastic, I bought a Gear 4 case for it and have dropped it more than once and its as good as new when I take the case off, also an gorilla glass screen protector....i'll never go back to Samsung, my phone is now three years old and works like new but I think I might have to upgrade at some stage as I reckon all these phones are designed to start failing after a few years, I also pay Apple.75p a month for an extra 50 gb of storage, all photos backed up in the cloud so I'll never lose them

I've always found the Spigen cases are great and normally only around £10 that along with tempered glass you would be very unlucky to break it.

There's been a couple of mentions of tempered glass. Is this like a normal plastic screen protector but made from glass? Or are you meaning that the iPhone screen is tempered glass?

Check out rhino screen protectors, they are tempered, so you drop your phone, the screen protector breaks, peel it off, screen is fine, stick on a new protector.

Green or brown fishing gear - good for blending into the background = very good.
Green iPhone- good for blending in the background = not so good.

Yes there literally a glass screen protector, I've dropped my phone before and it's cracked the tempered glass and not my screen, sort of like a second lifeline if you want.

I had a friend who insisted on everything being camo.
He spent ages on his hands and knees whilst fishing, usual trying to find the camo baiting needle or lighter that he had dropped in the grass.
We gave him camo knee pads for Christmas ...

These phones are excellent, and the only problem is with their storage. It isn't enough. Don't let this put you off buying an iPhone or other high-end smartphone; the device you choose can make a massive difference to how productive and happy you are. Selecting the proper phone starts with understanding what you need out of it and looking for some tips on trustee accounts so you can avoid being scammed.

Man, have you seen the Alpine Green iPhone 13?! I mean, all of them, the 13, the Pro, and the Pro max as well! They look amazing, and they are amazing in general! I own an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I love that phone. First of all, the Alpine Green color makes it feel truly fresh and special. Besides all that, the iOS is working much better on this phone. I guess it's due to the iOS version, but still, it's amazing. The only thing that sometimes annoys me is that I cannot use a fake phone number for verification australia while using the mobile data.
