The iPhone XS on Amazon (paid link) no longer gets iOS updates, so it is stuck on its last version. You can find one renewed for $100 to $150, but it is dated and will not stay current. Only buy this if you need the cheapest iOS phone. If you want software that stays current, consider the iPhone 17 (paid link) instead.
