It's 64gb, which is an absolutely tiny amount of storage in 2026. And you CANNOT upgrade it via MicroSD card ("APPLE" doesn't even have a slot for it!). Newer phone OSes will eat up a majority of that space before you even you install the first application
(fyi, it's impossible to even perform an OS update on a 32gb model, with nothing installed).
Even with 64gb, you'll constantly be off-loading applications, photos, and media every few weeks. Or needing a VERY expensive cloud storage plan.
And then there's the concern of future software upgrades -- if you only use it for the most basic stuff like calls and texts, you'll PROBABLY be fine. But if you're like a majority of people with the mobiles surgically attached to their hands for 24 hours a day, then when the software expires, so does access to "essential" services like banking and medical.
(which btw, if you value data security and privacy, I'd suggest to NEVER put anything critical on a mobile in the first place. But you do you! I know I'm screaming into the void whenever I make that suggestion anymore.)
I would say to only consider this device if one absolutely needs the "APPLE" ecosystem and you refuse to have any significant budget for it. You can easily get $40-75 Track Phones with Android OSes that have MUCH better quality of life specs.
These mid-tier androids sometimes aren't "as powerful" if all you care about is CPU speed, but pretty much anything mid-tier and above made in the last 2-3 years, you'll have more than enough. (If you care about raw CPU speed, use a laptop instead of a handheld...?)
Source for the Android? I use a 2024 "MO TOG" Stylus 5G with 128gb storage, 8gb ram, larger screen, 120hz refresh rate screen, MicroSD card slot, and stylus! It's more than enough as a daily driver. $40, here on SD. The Poetic case I bought was nearly half the cost of the phone...!

Whereas a laptop sitting at home is behind a locked door, isn't mobile, and has better security software than a flim-flam mobile OS. And if you NEED a mobile device for your authentication, you're better off getting one of those $40 Android deals where it literally sits at home inside a locked drawer until you need it.
Or just get a YubiKey.

The second one gets kept in a safety deposit box, because whooo boy, once you go full Yubi, if you lose it, you're locked out forever.

It'll make these FIVE year old devices actually usable for many years to come, instead of borderline ewaste.
But something something "we'll lose revenue if we do that", and now we have a yearly upgrade cycle. 🤣
