It's good that using pre-owned goods/items (in general) are becoming a normal thing
I've bought and used a lot of pre-owned items but never a smart phone so far
But I've been using my iPhone 8 that i bought new for around 7 years now
I guess one thing people should do is not to keep "upgrading" unless it's is really necessary

I don't really care and it's none of my business
But i care enough to read articles that i know right from the headline that it is something that i don't care about (or even hate) but will still read it anyway and share comments with others who are doing the same thing and talk about how we don't really care about (and hate) what we just read that we all know from the beginning that it is something that we don't care about and hate
