This is probably a monkeypaw wish, but I almost wish my daughter was old enough to need a device. I have like 3 that are 1 generation old (long story) and she won’t need anything like that for close to a decade.
Is there a good place to sell used phones and recoup money?
Not that I’ve found. Despite feeling like they must be worth something I’ve never found an actual use case for an old smartphone besides giving it to someone who can’t afford their own. I would love to donate old phones to a social service to be given to job seekers, homeless, domestic violence victims, etc.
I’m kinda grateful iPads and tablets were hella expensive when my kids were small because now the temptation to give the baby their own iPad because they are cheap on Woot or whatever must be tremendous.
The survey you’re quoting was that 90% of teens said they wanted an iPhone.
I have teens and know a lot of them right now among actual hardware they are still in 50/50 iPhone-Android at least among my kids’ friends.
Teens say they want brand-name shit all the time but reality is that most of them are toting hand-me-down hardware from their parents.
The survey I’m quoting does not say that, what I said is an accurate reflection of the survey results.
“87% of teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone; 34% own an Apple Watch”
But I didn’t cite it so partially my fault. Here is the link https://www.pipersandler.com/teens
Your comment is anecdotal and incorrect, this is why facts are important. Hand me down hardware can still be an iPhone.

At that sample size there is only a 1.043% margin of error according to Slovin’s Formula in Statistics.
That’s how surveys work, what do you want from me?
The current stats show exactly what I said they show.

They aren’t that old. An S22+ an S21 and I think the oldest is an IPhone SE2.
