Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade::North American sales are bad for everyone, except, miraculously, Google.

I have plenty of disposable income. But why would I spend hundreds and hundreds on a new phone when I just got a Pixel 5 off eBay for $100?

Pixel 5 was peak pixel.. I have a 7a now but TBH preferred the 5 just for its size and rear fingerprint reader.

On the iphone side I picked up an iphone SE 2020 for £120 (no an ios fan but it's good to have around for development and testing).

There's really not justification for £800 phones any more when the older ones are this good..
