Tbh, speaking personally A half decent camera, and ability to install whatsapp app is all I ask from a smartphone.
My last one was about £90 brand new. HTC something or other.

My Oneplus 5 cost me £500 but I tend to keep my phones until they give up or 5 years go by so, if it lasts as long as my Nexus 4, I'll be happy.

My Sony xperia Z2 must be 5 years old now and still going although the battery won't last a day now.

Still, when it dies I have the wifies ex Samsung S5 to move on to as she has upgraded to an S7.

I like free phones.

Oh, and the S5 has a removable battery so even better!

The headphone thing is annoying. They do bundle a lightning to 3.5mm jack and you can buy splitter cables but it is an annoyance on the 7 that I have.

I will probably upgrade to the 'X' but probably won't upgrade passed it for a while.

I was going to buy the iphone 9 but it seems I never own an iphone now

I agree it's a bit of a pain, there are splitters for the lightning port to go 2/1 so you can charge and listen to music at the same time. Still that's not a particularly good solution when they could just include the damn 3.5mm port.

The new ones have wireless charging so you could lay it on the pad and listen to music... still they could just include the damn 3.5mm port.

But using apple car play in my car is always more reliable than my wife's android auto which randomly disconnects and I can sync with iPad etc etc so worth sticking with apple for me.

You know they can't do much more with smartphones when they're advertising turning your face into a moving emoji poop is a feature.

I think smartphones have got to the point where you don't need more power so there's little point in upgrading. My phone died the other day and I bought a new S5 for £190, it does everything I need it to and much more.

Guess this is what happens when Moore's law starts coming to an end.

Bring out a new phone and ask a grand for it.

The worst thing Apple have done is stop production of the Ipod Classic.

I can't seem to find anything similar: Big hard-drive, big battery life and no extra features like connectivity that just wastes battery.
