The iPhone SE is dead, and with it, the compact smartphone as a mainstream product. What happened?

        Your spending that much on a used phone? I can’t phantom paying more than $600 for one

          You’re willing to pay that much for a phone? I think my last one was $350.

          OK, now someone else go lower.

          I get that too. It helps to put it in perspective:

          • 870€ is about 45% of the official original price
          • the phone was used for 2 months and in a very good condition (saw it firsthand)
          • valid warranty etc

            To put that into another perspective: it is around twice my country’s monthly median salary. This is still very wild.

        That is insane as well. $300 for my Pixel was already painful enough. 870€ is a whole decent computer :/

        Edit: could have got it for less, but it would’ve been secondhand.
