alt Hacker NewsUnrelated note but, cheap/midrange phones are a scam, you almost always get better value purchasing a second hand premium one.

Eh, I don't find my Pixel 8 to be notably better in any way that I notice or care about than the Moto G that it replaced, except for the fact that it runs GrapheneOS.
How is buying a midrange phone new a scam? Just because a second hand premium one is better value (assuming you don't place any value on being brand new). You buy it knowing full well that it isn't a premium device but most people don't need a premium device.
Are non-premium new cars a scam too?
