I’m not sure where you live but my iPhone (bnib) cost me less than half a US dollar a day to purchase - and it’s only getting cheaper. I average about seven hours screen time a day and run everything through the handset. (Navigation, streaming, payments, hot-spotting, tickets, translation etc.). For what I get out of it it has to be one of the cheapest things I’ve ever bought…
I bought my SE for £420 in March 2020 - ammortised over roughly ~1800 days since then, that’s around £0.20/day ish. I will maybe replace it this year, or if not then very likely next year. So when I replace it it will probably have cost something like 15p/day for the hardware alone. I pay £15/month for 4g (up from £12/month for the first few years) so actually the data costs far more than the hardware. I never really considered that.
I paid about $560 in US money for the handset (interest free over 24 months - 77 cents a day?) but have now used it for about 3.5 years - currently works out about 44 cents.

50 cents per day for how long until you pay it off?
