If you want a good sub $1000 phone you need to go android.

Not even that, the iPhone SE is $430 and is the closest phone they’re claiming to want but then going for the top of the line phone instead.

They said "good". I phones are not my cup of tea, but the she is particularly bad.

No one says you have to buy a new phone, used iPhones are usually a lot cheaper.

My iPhone 14 Plus was sub $1000 last year. Even an iPhone 15 Plus is sub $1000. And the 15 Pro Max with 1TB of storage from Apple directly is $1599 (this was the most expensive I could find on the Apple site.)

No you don't. But also, define "good".

[–] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That definition depends on the person, but for me

  1. Works as a phone

  2. Can play my phone games (Blue Archive)

This game?

Looks like iPhones qualify just fine even by your narrow criteria.

It needs to run well without major stutters. Haven't used an iphone since they got rid of the headphone jack. I would imagine anything even remotely modern will be fine.
