Phone manufacturers are pretty direct in their guidance on this one.

        you don’t need new phones, and I personally have purchased new phones (horrible carrier locked smartphones) for about $20 about 3 years ago.

          Yes, I am sure you $20 smartphone you bought 3 years ago is functioning super well. I think you faily to realize that more and more people only utilize their phone as their computing device. No desktop, no laptop, just a phone.

            the $20 phone I got is almost completely unusable as a phone, but for browsing social media/playing music/readin books in the shower it would probably last a few weeks while being cheap enough to not care about replacing it.
