A second hand or refurbished iPhone SE is probably the best deal out there. It replaces a land line, especially for lower income folks who move a little more, has built-in internet access (a gateway to accessing government services, jobs, healthcare and knowledge) and built-in navigation, making navigating confusing public transit easier. And Apple supporting hardware forever means that it won't be left out without updates after two years like most lower-priced handsets.

I’ve spent so much money on cheap or inexpensive phones the past few years. They end up breaking or they lose functionality and become unusable.

I have the new SE and knowing that it will likely be supported (and repairs, if needed, are accessible) I until the next SE comes out. I’m very excited the next SE will probably be the form factor of the 12 mini or very close to that.
