Hey ! I just broke my Pixel 4a (fp reader is dead, screen is flickering, battery health is getting really bad), and i am looking to try out Apple ecosystem. I have a budget of around 300 euros, and i have no problem looking at refurbished devices / secondhand. Here is a list i made (prices are from backmarket, a refurbished website). :
- iP11 (around 290 euros)
- iP12 Mini (around 310 euros)
- iPSE 2020 (around 150 euros)
- iPSE 2022 (around 260 euros)
I already have an M1 iPad Pro that i carry around most of the time for work / reading / video calls etc… I’ll be mostly just using iMessage / FaceTime / Maps and answering messages on average social networks with. i think I’ll keep the phone around two years max since I’m almost done with college. Am totally okay with smaller phones. I need to save a bit of money so if you see a better option, tell me!
Thanks for helping me out!
Edit : thx 4 all of ur replies<3 probably gonna get the 12 mini since i love small phones, and Face ID on my iPad Pro is just so great to open Bitwarden haha:)
Edit2: been almost one yr after i got my i12mini, and its rly rly nice, even though battery is the thing i hate the most about it. Will probably try to get the battery pack with it.
The 2022 se has the best CPU of that bunch and will last the longest.
Sure, but it’s screen is smaller than the 12 mini and it is still a touchID device, which will feel much older than the faceID phones.
Touch ID is faster and the CPU will get OS support for longer.
Sure, but it still feels old with the giant bezels and the homebutton.
