Just bought a new phone due to it being discounted heavily for Amazon Prime Day - the Essential Phone in White. Really excited for this to arrive.

I would never buy an iPhone. Also this was only $250 with the sale, and I already had $86 of Amazon credit

Wrong, and I do believe that I have the most authority on cellphones of anyone on this forum. Obviously it depends on your own financial situation, but if you aren't poor they certainly aren't.

it's just sort of an "on principle" thing -- fancy phones are dumb, a more expensive fancy phone is more dumb.

Fancy phones do more and better things than cheap and stupid phones.

What did you use your iphone X for? The only argument for me is pictures, and even then, pictures dont really matter much.

Camera -- ok
factial recognition -- gross
apple pay -- gross
talking emojies -- just wtf man
oled screen -- eh
no home button -- gross
tap to turn on display -- what am I missing?
ios in general -- not a new phone thing
1% of it -- are you in a relationship with your phone?

I'm not le wrong generation phonez r evil but I am getting progressively less interested in the new features, I think after a certain point we're getting diminishing returns for definitely not diminished prices.

The problem with phones nowadays is the battery. After 3-4 years that you have one phone the battery is not even gonna last you half a day, so you'll have to change your phone, regardless of its snappy/sluggish performance (you could also change the battery but that is kinda expensive). Then you will also not recieve any more updates so that's even more sux.
Therefore i think spending more than ~300 dollars on a new phone isn't a good idea. Ideally you'd want to get a phone that has battery and acceptable performance that decay at about the same, so after 3-4 years you can change your phone without guilt because it has both a shitty battery and a shitty snappyness. Getting a 1000$ phone and changing it 3 years later even if it still runs well just because its battery sucks is a bit dumb imo.
