My sibling is looking for a super budget iPhone, does anyone have any idea what their best bet would be with that budget?
Check Swappa. You can get some really good deals on there. It’s where I’ve bought/sold some old Apple Watches and phones.
Check out backmarket, I got my iPhone 12 for $400 there almost 2 years ago. I assume they’re even cheaper now.
I’ve seen some iPhone 11’s for like $250 brand new, still rocking my XR and it serves me fine for the time being
iPhone SE2 128gb.
11 Pro Max’s are around there now on the used and refurb market. Best bang for your buck honestly.
Seconding this, I loved my 11 pro!
iphone 12
The iPhone 12 really is going to feel the most modern. OLED screen, dual camera system, 5G, and MagSafe.
The 11 Pro Max is a battery GOAT, but getting one for $300 might be tough.
Maybe iPhone 11.
Find a brand new iPhone 11, or just slightly increase budget to get a brand new SE3 in Apple store with education price.
Probably an 11
iPhone 12.
Probably the $299 one
If you live in a city iPhone 12, if countryside iPhone 11.
You can find an iPhone 12 to 12 pro around that price
iPhone 11 is your best bet.
