Need a new iPhone - what would you recommend?

Hi frugal friends!

I got my iPhone 13 a few years ago and it's already failing me. I've tried replacing the battery, clearing out storage, etcetera, and it still won't function properly. So I think it's time to get a new one. I'm currently with Xfinity Mobile and it looks like I can trade my current phone in for an iPhone 15 (the oldest model they carry) for a monthly payment, but would it be smarter to buy second-hand? This is my first time switching devices and am not sure what the most financially savvy move would be...

(And yes, I need an iPhone for work, so unfortunately I cannot switch to Android or another brand).

Thank you for your help!

Meal prep apple pie baked oatmeal with recipe!

I've been obsessed with this apple pie baked oatmeal so I thought I would share! I make a batch every other week, split it into 6-8 servings, and stick in the freezer to eat over the next couple of weeks for breakfast. I was making a bad habit of stopping for breakfast at a coffee shop in the morning because I just couldn't get myself to make anything after waking up and I hated every make-ahead recipe I tried. But then I found this! Now all I have to do is stick a serving in the microwave and go. It's saving me lots - and it uses ingredients I usually have on hand anyway. And it's so delicious!

2 cups oats (sometimes I use protein oats to bump up the satiety factor)

1 tsp baking powder

1.5 tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

1 3/4 cups milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 apples

OPTIONAL 1/3 cup maple syrup (for extra sweetness)

OPTIONAL 1/2 cup raisins or pecans

My friend also gave me some flaxseed meal and I've been adding 2 tbsp of that as well.

I bake it in an 8x8 pan for about 45-50 minutes at 375 degrees!

It's a super flexible recipe that I got here: https://www.erinliveswhole.com/apple-pie-baked-oatmeal/

Anyone else have any favorite make-ahead breakfasts?

Does the time of day you take class affect what you want out of it? I find that I want a 6am class to slowly ease me in and then kick my butt, but I'd rather something a little less intense in the afternoon - more of a steady burn than an all out HIIT. Is this just me?
