If Andoid isnt your thing or it doesn’t align with your needs, at least try and buy used, refurbished, or repair it yourself if possible. Most common repairs (I.e.battery, speakers, charging port, sometimes screens) aren’t actually all that difficult and have pretty detailed guides on iFixit. Iphones get tricky but if you can, use a local independant repair shop. If it’s in your budget to buy a new phone, it’s probably in your budget to repair you old one.
Get a Fairphone (when your current one dies).
i really wish they’d start selling in the US.
Probably not in the next 4 years or so.
