Reality check. Which of 2 mobiles

twopenny

I've been dithering and brain now going round in circles.

I wanted a small light mobile. Calls and texts. Very occasional internet usage. PAYG.

Apple mini £208 second hand 
Small and light as I want.
Up to 5g
Limited to istore for free apps star identification, bird song, bus arrival times.
Can't listen to music on bus without getting chargeable ear buds.

Honor 5c £59 new
Larger and heavier x 2
Has headphone jack which I prefer 
4g
Android apps with more apps choice.
Would be easier to use for reading 

Seems the Android makes more sense but most of the time it will be in my bag unused and it's weighty.
I have an honour tablet which is very good.

Simple requirements are never simple it seems.

Any thoughts that I've missed please.

Just on the iPhone and headphones - you can get an adaptor that plugs into the phone's Lightning socket (it's not USB) that will take ordinary wired headphones.

Buy a new phone with a warranty.

Just a warning about used (re-conditioned, used - like new etc) phones.  I have bought 2 in the past, they both failed miserably.  One of them the battery failed very quickly.  The other, the touchscreen failed after about a year.  On both occasions I had no warranty beyond the (1 or 3) months offered by the seller.  

For new phones, I always think iphones and the latest galaxies are far too much for what they offer.  I have had motorolas and curently have a Google Pixel 7.  The Pixel is very good, I tend to buy new old stock so you get a good guarantee but are buying the cheapest new phone in their range which hasn't been used by someone else for 2 years.

The other option is a non-branded android phone which are plentiful; there are a lot of good ones for around £100 new but they may be too heavy for what you want.  On that note - if it's in your handbag would you really notice a few extra grams?!

Interesting about the headphones adapter Flaneurs. 
Never heard of that. Our buses now have charging sockets. But I have a little MP3 player with a 72hr play time.

Butter I had been looking at the pixel because can be small.
Yes weight does matter. I'm old and injured with small hands and 90% of the time it won't be being used. I too have a second hand one that's lasted me 8yrs. But phones are used a crazy lot more now so I think wear and tear will be greater.
