These iPhones Cost Less Than $200

2017-07-07
hey guys Boston iPhones are becoming a lot easier to pick up so I was able to get each one of these three iPhones for less than $200 on prepaid carriers what are they worth it I did a video on this iPhone 5s last year where it cost me one hundred and fifty dollars however today you can easily find these available from $129 but even as well as $99 off contracts it's the same story with the iPhone 6 well some places have it listed for 300 or even as much as $450 oh they will pick this one up for only 200 the iPhone se is also available for cheap so it still costs 400 dollars unlocked straight for an Apple I was able to take this one up for only 160 prices are definitely going to vary depending on what sales are going on in the big downsides that these are all going to be locked to a prepaid carrier but I'm curious what kind of iPhone are you getting for $200 to start with we have the iPhone se even though this is a little bit of an older design this is actually a pretty new phone it only came out about a year ago what's cool with this is it's actually not even a base model so this guy's going to be rockin 32 gigs of storage the embossing experience is pretty straightforward so now do we have our Apple stickers and paperwork right here there's also going to be the old-school Apple earpods we have our USB power adapter as well as a lightning cable put it side-by-side with the iPhone 5s and the SD a looks very very similar so what you're getting here is a pretty small phone now the repair it's kind of rare to actually get a decently expect small phone these days but it's it's small it's definitely really small it still feels premium though it's not only do we have the chamfered edges as well as the nice metal and glass design but most more important of that it feels sturdy and that's not something that you can always say about budget phone moving over to the iPhone 6 just like the SE we're going to be getting a 32 gigabyte phone which is going to make this a lot more usable with the iPhone 6 we're getting something that's basically the same design as the current iPhone 7 so if things have been tweaked just a little bit in the last couple years for the most part you're really not going to be missing out on much arguably there are actually some design improvements here so known as the iPhone 6 still has the physical home button but it also does still have a headphone jack you're getting some nice upgrades with a safe most notably Apple paid support so it was actually something I use I'm pretty much a daily basis you're also getting a much larger 4.7 inch display compared to the smaller 4-inch panel on the others so while this is though hope it's small by most flights of standards today it feels a lot more usable the specs are pretty interesting so the iPhone 5s is the oldest phone here is rocking an Apple a7 processor with one gigabyte of RAM whereas the iPhone 6 has the Apple a8 and the iPhone se has the newest Apple a9 with a full two gigabytes of memory all three feel reasonably snappy but the 5s is starting to show its age a bit with only one gigabyte of RAM it does get a touch slow sometimes when you're doing a lot of multitasking there really is not that it's the same story with the iPhone 6 and really use it feels almost exact same as the 5s a lot of that does have to do with the fact that it also runs 1 gigabyte of RAM on the other hand the iPhone se is super quick so it has the same specs as the iPhone 6s which absolutely puts it on par with a lot of current flagship to put things in perspective all three iPhones are going to be more powerful than a budget option like the Moto G 4 but it really is the iPhone SD that takes to win here all three are up to date on iOS 10 and they're all getting the iOS 11 update later this year that's especially impressive when you look at the iPhone 5s which came out all the way back in 2013 I've got to give big props to Apple for supporting a phone like this for five years pretty much no one else does that the biggest issue is just the smaller screen sizes on the 5s and D I see you like it a lot of people do like a smaller phone but as far as I'm concerned it just feels a little bit small and cramped to be fair you're not really losing any functionality everything is just a little bit smaller than usual but if you're used to a bigger phone these are going to be a little bit hard to get used to when it comes to cameras the iPhone 5s mistakes have a very similar-looking 8 megapixel camera whereas the SE bumps that up to 12 megapixels thanks to the iPhone 6s which it basically stole all its parts from first we have the 5s this is probably the best camera on a smartphone when it came out but today that's actually not bad the dynamic range is not quite there but this is a really really difficult shot these all look pretty nice so I would have to give a slight edge to the SE here but really I would be happy with any of these phones well smart phones have definitely advanced a lot over the last few years what's impressive is just how decent these iPhones feel to use you know the three and even four years old what's really impressive is the camera on the se well it's about a year old at this point it really is only topped by flagships like the Galaxy s8 and iPhone 7 video and the se also looks nice so choose from full 4k and while it might not be a red the stabilization means it actually looks really nice the iPhone 5s hides its age surprisingly well for just a little bit more less than half the price it wasn't it launched I think the iPhone I see is an obvious upgrade but only if you're down with a smaller phone which leaves us with the iPhone 6 well it might not be the most powerful in the world I think the larger size more than makes up for that so would you guys pick up a $200 iPhone and if so which one would it be let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
