My sibling is looking for a super budget iPhone, does anyone have any idea what their best bet would be with that budget?
iPhone 11 is your best bet.
Probably the $299 one
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
Check out backmarket, I got my iPhone 12 for $400 there almost 2 years ago. I assume they’re even cheaper now.
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!
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.
You can find an iPhone 12 to 12 pro around that price
If you live in a city iPhone 12, if countryside iPhone 11.
Check Swappa. You can get some really good deals on there. It’s where I’ve bought/sold some old Apple Watches and phones.
