Ha ha—is that like purposely driving a beat up old Volvo?
No, it’s refusing to drop $800 on a phone
The one I have now is a iPhone 6. I got it a couple years ago used for about $200, maybe less.
Our son got a newer one a while back and gave his to my wife. She barely uses it so it doesn’t matter.
She and my daughter compete to see who can use less data.
