Is gifting a used iPhone X in bad taste?

I regularly do this. It’s the reason I’m so persnickety about keeping a case and a screen protector in each new device.

Every family member I’ve ever given my old phone to has been happy about it.

Give him a nice new case and App Store gift card to go along with it. The perfect mixture of new and used.

If it’s family, I see nothing wrong with it. I wouldn’t go gifting used stuff to others though.

How sweet of you and such a nice gesture...I'm sure your dad was appreciative of your thoughtfulness!!
