They either buy used or a couple generation old. I've never paid more than $350 for an iphone myself. If you don't "have to have" cutting edge, then older phones are fine.

Yep! I’m always sitting 2-3 gens back. My current is an iPhone X which is more than capable and I’ve felt no need whatsoever to upgrade.
How old is old in this case? 1 or 2 generations of the lowest (SE) or second lowest (mini/regular) tiers?
i just got a 12 mini for $350
