My inclination in the past has been to buy the next model up which in this case would be the iPhone 8. I am more than happy with a 4.7" screen, I really believe it is an ideal size. I had hoped for an Apple refurbished device but there don't seem to be any at least not here in Australia. There is also a surprising lack of second hand examples. Does this mean that they are so good people are hanging onto them or they were so bad there aren't any left?
The other option is to live in hope of the SE 2 (the so called iPhone 9) being actually released some time this year.
I suppose if I must I will go for the iPhone X or XR but 5.7" just seems unnecessarily large and heavy and the price is prohibitive at AU$1129 plus depending on storage whereas an iPhone 8 from Apple is AU$880 with 128Gb.
So assuming I want the smaller phone, don't care about the reduced photo options ( no portrait setting etc) what is my best and cheapest option at this time?
