"Spending 5 mins looking online and would say
Its too expensive for that type of iPhone
Its too old and practically obsolete at this stage "

You could get a much better brand new Android for this money. |

To be honest I've never owed an iPhone always android but just asked google are they worth buying
Most available are around €180 and software updates are available till 2022 only |

"been offered a refurbished iPhone 8 for 210. any tech heads on here know much about this offer. Good or bad? "
It ain't great tbh. Keep your money or as someone said, buy a brand new Android. Or put your 210 towards a newer iPhone on bill pay |

Depends on the internal storage size and the condition of the iPhone. iPhone 8 64GB internal storage refurbs on MintPlus begin at 249e

I am always wary of refurbed phones. They could be in good condition but the battery is degraded because of all the charge cycles. They can be a false economy. |

I'm only looking for it as second hand but kinda want to go back to apple for a while having been with android for years. i was just kinda looking for negatives as I thought most iphones did the one thing. |

They do in a sense but one that age probably isn't going to have great app support etc. Most developers stop supporting the older models as new ones come out. |

And yes correct, App support will be an issue sooner rather than later. |

Yes. For example if you use an online banking app, the developers will stop providing updates for that app for smartphones of an older age and older operating system. Then you cannot use online banking on your phone because it when you open the app, it will ask you to update but you cannot because it is not supported. |

Jesus don't bring up the 'virus'  |

You can check battery life on the phone easily
210 isn’t amazing but it’s not bad. I bought one last August for about 240 and it’s in class nick. |

You can get the iPhone SE on Tesco bill pay for 30 euro a month and € 50 up front and you’re helping save the planet ! As it doesn’t come with a plug or charger because Apple are concerned about the environment so like their customers to buy the charger Separately in more packaging and at more cost  |

"IPhone totally overrated.. Buy a brand new android with 32g storage for fraction of price.. Do you really need 64g.. Its an awful lot of memory to fill.. "
Yes definitely. The minimum you should look for these days is 64GB. The android OS can use 8GB of that (maybe more) and then app installed. Factor in screen shots and pictures taken by camera, WhatsApp, spotify offline download etc. and it can fill up fast and then you have problems. iPhones don't support microSD cards so everything is saved to internal storage. |
