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 6 months ago

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.

[-] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 1 points 6 months ago

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.
