Marketing rules, now. iPhones last ages and personally, it’s always been my strategy to buy old/seconds once my current phone runs into an issue that I simply cannot fix. I just went from the original 2015/16 SE to an 11 Pro and it’s mind-blowing. The 11 Pro cost me $270 second-hand. The SE cost me roughly the same from a family member back in the day. Periodically do a fresh install of iOS and get the battery switched every other year and you’re laughing. There is zero need for latest and greatest.
