Where are you getting an iPhone for less than $160 that still gets security updates??

I can replace my iPX for about $200 for a refurbished one, but not get an 11 which will only have 9 more months of updates. I can probably get a used 11 with an already trashed (<70%) battery for $160.

I don't know. I usually buy used pixel devices, but that's a good point. If you are trying to plan the replacement costs for an iPhone and you can repair the battery for $30-80, that's a steal.
