I think is a shame the price of current flagship mobiles.
You can buy a very well kept modern classic car for the money.
Additionally, the average mobile is more than capable of doing what you need to do.
Emails, chatting, online checkin and shopping online.
Oh man , please tell us where we can get a modern classic car in good shape for $1k ☺️
The average life span of any cp nowadays is 2 yrs. Thats it, throw away the old and buy new one. So I prefer the mid range, true it has the same functions of that flagship mobiles. So why waste your money?
