How important is a nice phone?

I've just smashed my phone screen. It's only cosmetic damage.
Would this be bad for daygame?

If you can still add a number to it, why would it matter?

This sentence only show everything we need to know...
Iphone 8 will have a blow-me button, if you can wait...
Tell them too much, they wouldn't understand; tell them what they know, they would yawn.
They have to move up by responding to challenges, not too easy not too hard, until they paused at what they always think is the end of the road for all time instead of a momentary break in an endless upward spiral

Suits, when you get questions (and I'm sure you do), do you go the "it's practical" route or judo into "smartphones are evil"?
Props for the small rugged Nokia. Used to have one. Simpler times...

IF one wants or needs a smartphone, I would suggest the iPhone 4S as a balance between use and price.
The 4S is the first in the iPhone line with Siri, and the oldest phone that uses it, so any repairs should be not that much, plus a replacement of the entire phone is only about $150 or less on eBay. The highest version of iOS is 9.3.5 and should be good enough for any app that you would want to use today. The iPhone 4S is thicker than a lot of iPhones and seems to be a little sturdier than the newer thinner ones.
As a given, any iPhone needs to be in case to protect it from the inevitable accidental drops. In my observation, the newer, larger screen area on iPhones are at a disadvantage because with the larger screen area it makes a drop more likely to 'get lucky' and hit the screen dead on, causing cracks.
The only practical use I have found for an iPhone is the MAPS apps, that replaced my old GPS.
Other than that any time I want to do any work, I would need to start my laptop.
While there may be some question of if having a newer iPhone helps with game or preceived status, I don't think it would matter since everyone can or has the latest iPhone; what does matter is if your phone would allow you to have a chat conversation or not, or use social media, providing your prospect(s) is/are on social media also. After that you would put your iPhone away and concentrate on the prospect, not staring into your iPhone.

For gaming young girls, it doesn't look too good and can hurt you.
I used to have an iPhone 4s and dated a couple 29-30yo and even they made fun of it. I just played it off and made fun of it myself with them. I can pull a pretty good self deprecation game as a way to relax them into thinking I'm human and not perfect.
You can easily get Iphone 5C fo r~$100 or you can get AT&T goPhone or one of the comparable carriers iPhone SE(equivalent to iPhone 6 processor/camera wise) for $150 and get it unlocked.

In Miami during the summer I have to wear a hat or cover my head with sunscreen if I am outside for an extended time or I get a sunburn on top of my head. I loath wearing hats because they cover my face and girls cannot see the beauty that is me (yes , I am vain) but mostly I hate covering my bald shaved head because it makes people think I am insecure about it when I am not- I in fact immediately remove the hat as soon as I get inside because I do not like wearing hats. If you are bald embrace it and shave that shit! Comb overs are a crime against humanity!

I remember the time when I charged my 3310 once I week I still held the power after continuous use. Btw, I have cheap Prestigio phone, basically a Chinese phone branded by Prestigio company. Good specs for cheap, but battery has atrocious life, need to charge it once a day minimum.

All carriers in the US have barebones candy bar phones you get free with a plan or at very low cost ($50 or less). No need to try and get an old Nokia or "retro-revival" device.

I really wish some MGTOW jilted nerd genius would create an EMP to wipe out all the telecom satellites and see where all these crack cocaine smartphone hooked broads do next. That would be gold for us guys.

Any girl seriously questioning your smartphone cracked screen is throwing you a shit-test. People will question you in general social settings too.
You either pass or fail. The splintered screen has nothing to do with it.
Possible options:
"Yeah, new phones are so fragile I don't even know if I'll get it fixed" (usually they'll agree with you or you can segue into where the cheap places are to get it fixed and game on).
"I know I JUST got the screen replaced!" (and segue into her likely having the same experience breaking a phone right after having it fixed...except with her it was probably fixed by a beta orbiter)
"Fuck this phone, I'm waiting for my upgrade to come up" (works well if you have an expensive/semi-new phone already)
"I know I hate using phone cases so this happens sometimes" (this is actually one I've used a lot and a couple friends of mine would use as they literally hate having a phone case and that invariably ends up with a broken screen from time to time)
Use your imagination or just tell the truth (not that you're a cheapass but that you don't even plan to fix it) and maintain frame.
The only times a "nice phone" come into play is if you have such a crap phone that it's totally incongruent with your lifestyle/persona.
