MODERATORS
Exactly, we are looking at teenage kids. They all inherit old iPhones hand me downs or cheap refurbish. A 15y.o. girl in the article brags that she uses an iPhone 11 because that's what all her friends have. That phone has hold up pretty well and is a capable texting, photo and phone call machine. But any ~$300 Samsung will give it a run for its money. This is just marketing brain rot to which kids are far more susceptible than adults.
