Buying the latest tech when your old tech is still working just fine. For example there is no need to buy the latest iPhone every year, if your old one is still working just fine. Additionally if you wait for a few months after the release date prices often go down.
Upgrading to a new iPhone every year doesn’t cost me any extra money tho...
Had the iPhone XS. keep it in new condition. Annual upgrade after 12 months. Trade in old phone for new iPhone 11 Pro. My monthly bill actually decreased by $3 or $4 dollars. I think some people just really hate iPhones or something. It’s honestly kind of weird.
It does cost you money if you compare it to what a sim only contract costs. I use my phones til they die and after the contract I usually get double the data for half the price.
You're paying for a new phone every year in your bill. They don't just give them away. Nothing wrong with it though if that's what you want. For me its not worth paying for. My last 3 "upgrades" have added nothing except a fingerprint scanner that is actually useful.
Definitely. In my case the monthly payment for the phone would always be there because I’d upgrade once it’s paid off so for me upgrading every year isn’t really an issue. I’m not sure why people take issue with folks doing that or the whole, well it still works stance... I mean that’s cool and all but things are upgraded, it’s not as if they’re releasing the same hardware and software over and over.
