A new iPhone SE is $250 from Boost Mobile right now. The last time I owned a budget Android phone the MISC folder filled up with garbage that I couldn't delete until the phone was unusable. My iPhone SE will probably end up lasting something like five years. I think the iPhone SE is the best choice if you're on tight budget because its OS is better and the phone will last longer for that reason alone.

No, it isn't. It is probably about $500 if you want to know the true price you'll pay over the duration of the contract.

iPhone SE with 64GB is $399 direct from Apple...

How old are you, gramps? This hasn't been the case since Android 4 days.

Not sure what you mean, can you rephrase your question, please?
The majority of those models are filled with uninstallable garbage.
