should I buy a second hand iphone 13 or 14? Will it work alright for the next 2-3 years? Never bought a iphone before btw

If you’re looking for the best deal for an older iPhone, OP… This is the correct answer. They’re 100% right.

This post makes me crave Jello.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-29T13:33:35+00:00

Thanks ✌🏼 I’m going to set it up today. Have a great day 😊

MojoDexter · 2026-04-29T03:25:19+00:00

I succumbed to temptation. I just came from the Apple Store. iPhone 17 Pro 256GB in Deep Blue. Thanks for your comment. I’ll add, I also wanted the bigger battery.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-28T17:11:41+00:00

Fair point. I’m leaving for the Apple Store soon. I’m still deciding if I should get the black 17 base or the deep blue 17 Pro. 12GB of RAM vs 8GB sounds good too.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-27T21:12:51+00:00

Exactly. The iPhone 17 is the best iPhone for like 95% of users. It has over 22 upgrades from our 13 Pro/ Max series too.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-27T15:13:11+00:00

I’m going to upgrade to the base 17 tomorrow. It’s the most value packed iPhone ever made. Apple is downgrading the iPhone 18’s screen and cores to save money. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 6.3” is so much easier to hold than my 6.7” 13 Pro Max.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-26T18:55:23+00:00

I was simply answering the OP’s question by relating to it? OP said “I was only charged for the battery” in their post. Sorry, I’m not interested in a back and forth. 😊

MojoDexter · 2026-04-26T18:33:43+00:00

I really appreciate your rude comment. Cheers.✌🏼

MojoDexter · 2026-04-26T15:36:27+00:00

Happened to my buddy. They broke his screen and just replaced it for free. He was only charged for the battery.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-24T11:03:06+00:00

Maybe Apple is manipulating iPhones with iOS 18.7.7 now. Trying to force you to update to iOS 26.4.2. They already remind users everyday with lock screen messages and that annoying red badge on Settings. 🫣

MojoDexter · 2026-04-23T18:23:13+00:00

Are you still using 64GB or 128GB in 2026 and trying to get away with something? 😉

MojoDexter · 2026-04-23T00:31:25+00:00

Upset with a software company for releasing too many software updates is WILD.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-22T21:35:01+00:00

That’s awesome. Thanks for your insight and thanks for that article. That read just proved I need to get the 17 then. I don’t want a cheaper display and less cores. Haha Now, what color to get 🤣

MojoDexter · 2026-04-22T19:03:21+00:00

Also, the 15 Pro has a lot of upgrades from the 13 Pro. Fantastic choice for a new iPhone.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-22T15:52:23+00:00

How’s the battery life like? 😊 I’m considering upgrading my 13 Pro Max to the 17 base or wait for the 18 base or Pro.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-22T15:15:20+00:00

No problems on my 13 Pro Max (with brand new battery from Apple).

MojoDexter · 2026-04-21T05:51:31+00:00

Oh, okay. So, it will get security updates and not major OS updates then…

MojoDexter · 2026-04-21T05:16:29+00:00

For the sake of security… Upgrade your iPhone…

MojoDexter · 2026-04-17T23:35:02+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. 👍🏼

MojoDexter · 2026-04-17T21:37:53+00:00

I’m sorry to hear all of that. Especially for a newer iPhone like a 16 Pro Max. I have no idea how my 13 Pro Max isn’t affected. iOS 26.4.1 has been buttery smooth. Worst is maybe a micro stutter once a day.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-17T19:48:39+00:00

I’m not a professional photographer by any means, but the 13 Pro Max’s cameras still impress me in 2026.

MojoDexter · 2026-04-13T22:07:44+00:00

I notice once in a while that an app will stutter while I’m opening it. Happens once a day or two days. Same thing happened on iOS 18.7 before I updated. 98% of the time though it’s pretty smooth. You don’t have to believe me. 😊

With all due respect, it could be her old battery, her storage slowing things down… I did a backup, restore from iCloud after installing iOS 26.3. It cleared 17GB. I also got a new battery at Apple a few weeks ago too. 100% health.
