2026 Is the New 2016: The Tech Throwback We Actually Needed

Remember 2016?

  • Snapchat filters ruled the world

  • The iPhone 7 had just launched (with a headphone jack still fresh in memory)

  • Everyone was playing Pokémon Go

  • Instagram still had a chronological feed

  • And your phone battery… actually lasted all day.

Well, welcome to 2026 — where we’re bringing that same energy minus the outdated hardware and plus the sustainable glow-up.


📱 Throwback Tech That Still Slaps

Think iPhone X, iPhone 11, even iPhone 13 — all devices that still:

  • Run the latest iOS

  • Take incredible photos

  • Stream, swipe and multitask smoothly

  • Cost way less when bought refurbished

  • Come with no contracts, no nonsense, and an upgrade you can feel good about

It’s giving:
✨ Nostalgia
♻️ Sustainability
💸 Real savings
🎯 Smarter choices


🔁 Why Refurb in 2026 Is the 2016 Energy We Love

In 2016, owning the latest phone was about showing off.
In 2026, it's about owning your decisions — and realising that “brand new” doesn't always mean “better.”

  • We’re trading “unboxing flexes” for cash-back trade-ins

  • We’re swapping 24-month contracts for flexible subscriptions

  • We’re ditching waste and choosing circular tech that makes sense for the planet


🧠 The Vibe Shift Is Real

If 2016 was the year we fell in love with our phones, 2026 is the year we finally learned to buy them better.

So yeah — 2026 is the new 2016. But smarter.
