A totally workable iPhone can cost $400 new. Refurbs from Apple cost less. Carrier deals are available.

OK, but I got my totally workable Android phone (Samsung Galaxy A20) for just over $200. Some people may not have that extra money, or may prefer to spend it on something besides an expensive phone.

I think these people should go for the refurb options I mentioned, if they’d like an iPhone.

They don't want an iPhone, though - they're pressured into getting one.
