I bought a refurbished 256GB #iPhone13 (unlocked) last night for $400 USD off eBay.
I got my current phone (256GB #GalaxyS10 5G) three years ago refurbished from Amazon for $300.
It still has great battery life and a flawless display but it’s stuck on Android 12 and doesn’t receive security patches any more. I tried getting LineageOS on it but couldn’t since it’s locked to Verizon, so I’m going to keep it connected to my Abxylute S9 telescopic controller and use it as a dedicated gaming device.
While there are several reasons I chose an iPhone over another Samsung phone, one big draw for me was being able to carry #Fantasian with me everywhere I go. I’m currently in the second part but still have a long way to go. I just wish I could buy it outright so I don’t have to maintain an Apple Arcade subscription.
