Before this week, you’d be choosing between refurbs or switching over to Android. For people who want an iPhone, it makes buying a brand-new phone for less than $700 a whole lot easier.
It starts at $399 for a model with 64GB of storage. That’s why I’m glad Apple has resurrected an old idea and released another iPhone SE. You could cross-shop with Android phones, but the switching cost is getting higher every year. There are a bunch of other specs and features you’d probably put down lower on the list: speed, screen quality, size, extra cameras, and so on.īut the most important thing for that list comes not from the specs, but from the fact that you’re looking for an iPhone - something with access to iMessage, FaceTime, a huge library of great apps, reliable software updates, and more. What do you look for in a new iPhone? The top of the list likely includes battery life and camera quality.
