What about a newer iPhone?

If your Valentine's Day sweetheart is carrying around a phone with a cracked screen, there are a variety of iPhone deals going on at eBay right now as well.

Last year's iPhone SE is a great budget-friendly option and doesn't take up a lot of room in a pocket or a purse. The A9 processor completely blows away the previous phone with the same form factor, the iPhone 5S.

Or perhaps it's time for an iPhone 7? The A10 Fusion processor is even beefier than the A9 in the SE, and the larger screen and improved camera is fantastic for on-the-go photography.
