How much is too much for a phone?
Just wondering how much everybody spends on a phone, what in your mind is cheap/too cheap, fair, and expensive/too expensive?
To me cheap is sub $100 and I don't think it want like a $50 or cheaper phone, fair to me is anywhere from $150-350, expensive would be over $400, and then too expensive would be like $500+, especially those $1000 phones.

I think my iPhone SE was like $250, I don't like the new flat curved wide phones.
Probably the last phone I'll get as a gift too, my iPhone 4S is still in good condition.
If you have to finance it it's too expensive. I bought my last phone for ~$450, and the one before that for $350.

I've had an iPhone 5c for 4+ years and plan to keep using it until it explodes. I'd plan on spending $250-$300 on a used/refurbished model 7 or 6s+
For Christmas, my brother got an iPhone 6 for $500.
I had the LG G4 which was basically free with my cellphone plan but I hated it and ended up spending around $300 for an iPhone SE. I'm very budget conscious and wouldn't spend more than $300 on a phone.
I have an unlocked Pixel 2.
After taxes, I paid $650 for the phone and a 'free' Google Home Mini.
My opinion on prices is that sub-$300 is cheap and $900+ is too expensive.
