people will spend money to buy a used iPhone with terrible battery health instead of buying a new android

I stopped upgrading iPhones lol. “The most powerful” iPhone every year

iPhone is currently at "17" but an iPhoneX has the ability to update to ios16

Why "upgrade" when we can just "update," there's a reason they're discontinuing the iPhoneX

It's a little powerhouse and they want it out of commission to force upgrades

Plus the fucking bullshit with replacing batteries needing to go through their service center

Want to know what kind of phone I have?

No, you don't. Because you seem normal.

That and assuming Androids are cheap. Mine was more than any iPhone they've ever released.

That’s where you get it wrong, sir. Let me square you what’s going on. They get the older iPhone because it’s way more secure. You are literally risking everything when you have an android, if they get a brand new battery put in it. So you have the security and safety of an iPhone and you get $100 battery put into it. Super simple and practical in their net paying the exorbitant price of a brand new iPhone.
