You could get a much better brand new Android for this money.

To be honest I've never owed an iPhone always android but just asked google are they worth buying

Most available are around €180 and software updates are available till 2022 only

It ain't great tbh. Keep your money or as someone said, buy a brand new Android. Or put your 210 towards a newer iPhone on bill pay

Depends on the internal storage size and the condition of the iPhone. iPhone 8 64GB internal storage refurbs on MintPlus begin at 249e

I am always wary of refurbed phones. They could be in good condition but the battery is degraded because of all the charge cycles. They can be a false economy.

They do in a sense but one that age probably isn't going to have great app support etc. Most developers stop supporting the older models as new ones come out.

And yes correct, App support will be an issue sooner rather than later.

not necessarily but some apps may be glitchy, slow or older versions.

Yes. For example if you use an online banking app, the developers will stop providing updates for that app for smartphones of an older age and older operating system. Then you cannot use online banking on your phone because it when you open the app, it will ask you to update but you cannot because it is not supported.

Banking apps need regular apps for latest security updates to make sure you are safe and secure. As soft said, other app may work but may have issues.

You can check battery life on the phone easily

210 isn’t amazing but it’s not bad. I bought one last August for about 240 and it’s in class nick.

IPhone totally overrated.. Buy a brand new android with 32g storage for fraction of price.. Do you really need 64g.. Its an awful lot of memory to fill..

You can get the iPhone SE on Tesco bill pay for 30 euro a month and € 50 up front and you’re helping save the planet ! As it doesn’t come with a plug or charger because Apple are concerned about the environment so like their customers to buy the charger Separately in more packaging and at more cost

Yes definitely. The minimum you should look for these days is 64GB. The android OS can use 8GB of that (maybe more) and then app installed. Factor in screen shots and pictures taken by camera, WhatsApp, spotify offline download etc. and it can fill up fast and then you have problems. iPhones don't support microSD cards so everything is saved to internal storage.
