how much would you say is a reasonable amount to pay for a phone, and how often do you buy one?
@jacqueline That’s an interesting question. If it’s the most used/important device in your life then it makes sense that it’s the most expensive one. If you only use messaging, navigation, photo and auth, not so much. My last 3 phones were €50, €900, €200 and each used multiple years / as long as possible. I’d still be using the expensive phone, but the battery connector died (due to the battery needing recharging multiple times a day) and fixing it would cost too much.
@jacqueline those three phones cover over a decade, I think you should get at least 5 years out of a phone, but 10 would be better.
