@cockneylaurie You have already explained what is happening here. Your iPhone-using acquaintances (perhaps because they have more disposable income) buy iPhones new. After a couple of years, they sell them to people who use them another couple of years. What did you think ”second hand” means?
But many people also buy new and use them for many years.

Updates for "new features" generally just bloat the phone and slow it down, so as to give you more wallpapers or some such. (Actually on Android many apps never require anything but the version before two that your phone comes with. "What did you think ”second hand” means?" Really implied insults - Blocked
