Torn on this one.
On the one hand, there's a lot of great metal, it's obviously not all garbage.
On the other hand, I love winding up those people who get all bent out of shape about how one or more of those genes "isn't real metal" so I kinda still appreciate the post lol.
At that price point, I would be looking for pre-owned iPhones. Why iphone? Because they keep updating their software longer than any other manufacturer.
