I almost did but now....
At least you're not the only retard here :D I bought, two! One by mistake xD

Lol, tbh I'm happy with the 9a. I listen to podcasts and music when commuting. Last month my iPhone 13 mini stopped playing audio. Had the 9a for several days, it still has 49% battery left which is mad. Going without a sim and use the iPhone for calls. Still trying out different setups and profiles for now.
Your spare phone will come in handy for trips or backups hot wallets 💪
This new phone is still said to take 1.5 years. And Pixels are still supported, so don't worry
