I got my phone for free, thankfully, from Visible. They were going to make me upgrade, but I never did and they just decided to send me a new phone instead.

First time I've gotten a new phone for free since I was a kid.

I bought a second hand flagship from 2019 and surprisingly seamless keeping up with the new ones. And always keeping it on an optimized manner. The only apple device i have is ipod touch 6th gen, yes its old but still working serving my music needs. Also bose speakers from 2000s they get dusty pretty easy but still functioning up to this day.

Samsung S21 Ultra that I got in September of 2021

I'll probably go another year before upgrading, depending on how much it makes sense financially.

My old iPhone phone gets sent to a developing country to be used by another person.

It’s not going to landfill just yet.
