Looking to get a new to me, used iPhone.
First option: Looking at a cheap 4s($75, negotiable I assume). I had a 4 and at the time, loved it. I worry however that it will not support most basic apps: GroupMe, Direct Tv, IG, SC, or Twitter.
Second option: iPhone 6s Plus. I do like the plus size phon. When I got my 6, I thought it was too big. I now like the extra size to help ease my eyes as I've lost significant vision in one eye in the past year.
Third option: if anybody here has a used iPhone in the br area, comment in this thread and I will make an email to get in touch with you, I would also be eternally grateful to both you and tigerdroppings. I could then say that The time I spend on this site is jusified.
Thanks guys

why go back so far? you can get a 5s for maybe $25 more and its a way better phone than the 4s because most apps will make you update to the latest iOS or they wont run and a 4 will turn into molasses if you update the system and you'll hate life.

also, go swappa for your phone.


eta $100 iPhone 5s, good condition for AT&T

eta my daughter's SE was stolen and she is now using an old 5s we had laying around and according to her its working great..and she's 16 so she's got every stupid social photo app in the world running at the same time.

No you're a moron if you're telling the OP to buy a 4 because he won't be able to install any apps.

Eta and I paid 240 for a great condition iPhone 6s for my wife 2 months ago. You picked the most expensive 6s class in your link to try to make it look expensive

under no circumstances would i be purchasing a 4s. once the hardware becomes unsupported for OS updates its a dead phone.

Did something happen to your 6?

I'm not in BR, but I do have a couple of 16GB iphone 6 models that I'm not using. Been meaning to sell them but haven't been in a rush. Both in great condition, in a case since we bought them 2 years ago. If you're interested, make me an offer.

I would not consider anything less than a 6. That 4 will have no support and give you a ton of problems. Wish it wasn't that way, but it is

You want a cheap phone, get a new android phone like Moto G, will be much better than an old iPhone
