    Absolutely correct. It's crazy to buy most tech new. My wife had an old 3G phone and replaced it a couple of years ago with an iPhone 7 for $90. Loves it. Needed a new battery recently, but that's been the only extra cost. My iMac is a refurb and so is our M1 air. I buy all my camera gear and audio gear used.

    • @peterparker2068
      @peterparker2068 2 місяці тому +6

      It's hard to say unless you just buy the older model. I buy mostly refurbished phones but the one thing about used/refurbished phones is that you don't know what the battery life is like unless you buy Apple refurbished. At least with a new phone you get a new battery. Last year was the first year I bought a new older model iPhone. I got the iPhone 13 since the price has dropped and I traded in an older phone and had some credits. The thing about iPhones is the price doesn't drop that much. So if you get an older model that is new in the box then the prices isn't that much of a difference. I just wanted to treat myself last year and it was the first time I bought a new phone in probably ten years.

    I’m planning to upgrade to a newer iPhone (either 14 or 15) by 2025 or later, and going to use it for 3+ years.

    This phone is beyond capable of doing modern tasks and should have received iOS17, it is not the same as the iPhone 8 which is also still quite capable, unfortunately the X does have some issues from a manufacturing standpoint which mine fell victim to on Tuesday, the screen can become unresponsive to touch but usually a hard reset fixes it but over the week this stopped working and the phone is completely unresponsive to touch even after being factory reset when the phone did respond to touch and then again when in DFU mode. I don't like the idea of carrying a $1,000 device when i go out, that is a lot of responsibility and worry about losing it. dropping it or getting stolen. All iPhones from the X onwards are so capable of doing all modern tasks that there is no reason to financially burden yourself to buy something as a status symbol and with the rate of iPhone thefts i think that status symbol can become a target in some cases which is very unfortunate.

    I have a 14 Pro Max and I love it. The battery capacity isn't great at 93% (well that's iOS 17 and due to my condo getting construction done so I have to be on my phone more to keep myself entertained) but the picture quality and the sound is really good to the point where it sounds better than my JBL headphones which I paid $70 for (on sale). I do think the Dynamic Island is a waste of space though and I would've been okay if Apple kept the notch and just made it smaller. Otherwise, great video and I do like the iPhone X design better than it is now and I wish they brought this back.

    By getting older/cheaper tech, what do you get to spend more on with the money you save?
    I have a friend who loves his tech. Galaxy Fold, High end PC, Home cinema setup, ebike, Tesla etc.
    But to afford those he cheaps out on almost every other aspect in life like food and clothing. Doesn't drink any alcohol or coffee. Very little going out to social events. Never goes on holidays. And no girlfriend/wife.
    But he's very happy doing what he likes which is tech stuff.

      I think not spending on alcohol or coffee is a good thing, those two are the most abused substances. Clothes, what is the point of designer clothes? It has not extra features, not advantages. With tech usually the more expensive has added functionality, but comparing $50 sketchers to $200 Nike’s I feel like the sketchers feel better. Social events, some people don’t like going out to parties. I prefer small get togethers with close friends.

Works like a charm and basically perform as back when i bought it in 2017 at release. I think i can delay an upgrade for a couple of years now.

    iPhone is not the only brand producing good stuff.
    I had a P30 Pro, which I used for like 3 years ig. Now about a half a year ago, I got a very good phone contract/ deal and bought a Pixel 7 (also as I wanted to try something new).
    You asked what happened to the p30 Pro? Well it is still an amazing phone, which is used by my lil sis now. Will live for another 2-3 years at least until we give it to family living back in asia (poor country)
    Normally, I would stay with one phone until the day it wouldn't work anymore. The Thing is, that I am a tech enthusiast so I kinda like trying new stuff. Therefore, I will probably change my phone every 2 years, when my contracts end.
    But still, my phones always will find a next User.
    Btw, I got an Iphone SE 1 in Pink as my 2nd phone as I love the design.

    Genuinely asking, what is good about 3D touch? Granted I haven't used it, but I have used Haptic Touch which as far as I know offers basically the same functionality just based on press time rather than press intensity, and all that ever did was give me the option to go straight to a specific page of an app, while taking basically exactly the same amount of time as just opening the app and switching to that page the normal way. In fact it actually made my overall experience worse, because whenever I wanted to move an app I had to perform an additional tap on the 're-arrange apps' (or whatever it was) button because long-pressing just brought up the haptic touch menu. Granted again, I've been on Android for the past 3 years so I don't know if things have changed but I was just wondering. Totally agree with the message of the video though, nice work!

      It is such a minor thing, and it's impossible to video, but I would describe it as a more human way to interact with the phone. It goes off of pressure and how hard you press, it's such a minor thing and very niche to me specifically. But navigating is so much better with it, albeit not that much better since apple removed it. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

    I upgrade every 4 generations or so, had an iPhone 6s Plus, then onto XS max and now have a 13, only upgraded to a 13 due to damaging the screen on the XS max, hating the cheap replacement which subsequently failed. I’d be quite happy with it if it had its original screen. Prefer the round edges and thinner body.

    I agree with the buying a used Iphone instead of new. My last 3 phones, XR, Se 3, and Iphone 12 pro were bought used. Between buying and selling, cost me $400 all in, and all 3 were unlocked at the time. Also I have used prepaid for the last 6 years, and most expensive plan I have had was $20 a month. I will never go back to buying a phone from a carrier. Currently using 12 pro, don't see a reason to upgrade for the next few years.

    Just changed my iPhone 8 plus for an iPhone 15.
    About 3D touch: you can long press on newer iPhone models to get the same effect. It's not as satisfying as the OG 3D touch, but you can get the job done.
    About screen: OLED is definitely a win, even if iPhone 15 doesn't support 120 Hz.
    About cameras: main camera actually doesn't have a huge upgrade except for the 24 MP mode and night mode, but selfie camera is leaps and bounds better. Ultra wide replaces the telephoto camera, which is a bummer for me since I shoot macros more than landscape. All in all, I can let go of my 8 plus without missing, but can't call 15 a clear win.
    About multi-task: due to its RAM size, the 8 plus struggles to run more than 5 apps in the background, some modern app gets purged even with just 3 apps running at the same time. This is a minor annoyance for older models, since you don't really need to run a wall of apps, but 15 is definitely superior, with some future-proof.
    About performance and battery: this is the main reason I decided to upgrade now. After 6.5 years, my 8 plus just can't spend a day without 2 charges, even after I changed the battery last year. I found out that if I don't use it, 1 charge can last around 3 days, so the fast battery drain definitely has things to do with the modern OS, but - what's the point of having a phone and not using it? Conclusion: if you're a light user, iPhone 8 plus can serve you well with a battery change, and try to stay before iOS 14 if possible. In this category, I set my iPhone 15 to charge to 80% max, and can still get by a day without charging, so I'm pretty happy about this.
    About security: oh how I miss Touch ID. iPhone 8 plus doesn't have the best fingerprint recognition tech, like you can't unlock with a wet hand (eg. in shower), but it works pretty consistently. But when using Face ID, I have to wear my glasses for the phone to recognize me, even after I register an "alternative face" without glasses. This is a huge reason why I chose 8 plus over X in 2017, and Apple still haven't figured it out in 2024.

    I've been using an iPhone Xs Max since August 2023 when my android phone broke. If I'm being honest, the battery life is pretty bad and there are some software issues here and there (especially now since it's overheating a lot). I can only ever use it for 2-3 hours max because it would die after (even though I'm only using it for social media), however the best thing about it is the camera, design, and software support. I'm honestly amazed at how the Xs Max, released in 2018, is still being supported now in 2024, six years later despite the above issues I've stated.
    Though honestly, I believe some of the issues came as this phone has a lot of aftermarket parts. I don't have much complaints because I got it for free lol.

    I just bought a brand new iPhone 11 from Tracfone for $249. They also had refurbished ones for $168. I watched several comparison videos between the iPhone 15 and the 11. There's only a fraction of a second difference in most things. It's not worth hundreds to a thousand dollars more. The iPhone 11 is a huge step up for me, considering I was use to budget Androids.

    The iPhone X is still a very good phone, but it's really let down by the lack of 3GPP NR 5G connectivity and the fact the latest version of iOS compatible is iOS 16.7.7, which lack some of the features of iOS 17.x versions.

    The thing is, it doesn't feel right to use a phone this old, because, at the time when iPhone 10 was released, using a 7 year old phone (iPhone 4) was unheard of, because barely anything was supported, but now, a 7 year old iPhone, which is the iPhone X is able to provide an almost identical experience to the latest iPhone 15, Just like it is shown in this video clip. It is slightly slower, but come on, would you really benefit from a 2-3 second improvement when launching apps? The main downside is the battery, but once you get that replaced, it's great and it truly shows how smartphones have peaked and there isn't that much to improve.

But, we're getting a great deal, and Apple supported my iPhone 8 until 2023, when I got it in 2019 and it released in 2017. It was great for a long time but it also kinda sucks now, so I need a new one that will last a long time. I WILL make my 15 stretch for AT LEAST 5 years like my 8, it will last until 2029. I think.
