I just have the ones the family want to throw out, even my 16 year old won’t be seen dead with.

I’ve an apple I phone not the newest but it does the job and it links up lovely with my iPad. Job done. And also I’m on a contract I can well afford.

I have a Motorola. I've had it 2 years and it's great. Does everything I need it to. I've even had work online video meetings on it. I often use the hotspot (internet sharing) for my online teaching with my laptop, when the bandwidth is being shared in the house by too many devices. I definitely recommend Motorola (and I don't work for them!).

Sorry I can't help with the question JeanneLeFol but I did wonder what model iPhone you have. I started to use iPhones 12 years ago when I bought a new one. Since then I have had upgraded lots of times but never bought new or had a contract. I buy them off eBay (auction). Last one was iphone 7 for £83. It's battery wasn't brilliant but £45 paid for a new Apple battery.

I sell my old iPhones on eBay too and get good money for them. Just sold my DH's old iphone 5. £45

I didn’t realise how slow my old iPhone was ( bought second hand some years ago but still getting updates ) until a neighbour passed me her new iPhone yesterday to show me something on it.
There is no way I can afford a new iPhone so it will have to be an Android. Have any of you successfully moved from an iPhone to android ? I’ve been looking online at Motorola smartphones as I don’t want to have to sell a kidney to buy one. All advice much appreciated !!
