Cheapest phone that isn't so old I can't download apps? iPhone 7 is causing me problems.
As other people have said, you need an iPhone. Preferably Pro Max because the bigger size will mean longer battery life. And a plug for myself, if you want to buy my practically new iPhone 16 Pro Max with 49 charges, 100% maximum capacity, and Apple warranty until 06/18/2026, DM me. If not, look for an iPhone 16 Pro Max to save some money off a 17.

The case for repairing tech devices instead of replacing: Most phones/laptops can last 5-7+ years, saving you $600+ per device and preventing 140 lbs of CO₂ emissions
Really good insight, cool post. There’s also the intangible benefit of waiting that long — awe factor. When I went from an iPhone SE (that I kept for just over 7 years) to the iPhone 16 pro max last year, the jump in tech was absolutely amazing. Sure I knew it existed, but getting to actually experience it personally for the first time was a such a joy for a solid 2 months after I got the phone.

Stopping the phone upgrade cycle—my wallet thanks me
I made it 4 years with my iPhone 13 pro Max. Got it on a deal when it first came out and paid nothing for it. Ever since having my son I have wanted a flip phone so I can close the screen and move on with my day rather than doom scrolling on my phone (my only hobby for years). Switched to the Razr and got it on a promo deal for $0. I will ride this baby out until it's unusable and it has worked wonders for my screentime addiction.

I need to keep this phone for as long as possible!
I have a 14 Pro Max, it does what I need, I like the weight (my mother just moved from her iPhone 11 to a 16, and I’m not a fan, it’s too light, feels fragile)my battery health is 76% I’m just going to get the battery replaced rather than upgrading.
