I will never, ever...

...wait in line for a stupid phone.  I just don't get the people who do wait in line.  Especially if you're paying $1999 pre tax for a maxed out Apple iPhone.  I will never pay that for a phone.  Regardless if it's, as Tim Cook says $30/monthly tab.  

I am always a generation or two behind on my phones.  iPhones are disposable products.  You get rid of them within 2 years once your contract is done.  I am currently sporting an Apple iPhone 8 Plus in a protective case.  My contract is up in May 2020.  Will I be getting another phone in May 2020.  Nope.  Why?  My contract will go down to $50 a month plus tax for 10GB of data.  I am not a zombie meaning I'm not stuck to my phone 24/7/365.  

My current phone does exactly what it's supposed to.  Make phone calls and take pictures.  I have the 64GB model which is enough storage for me to shoot 4k/60fps video and photos for the day or week if need be.  I also have iCloud storage of 50GB which I pay $1.49 a month for.

I honestly don't get why people wait for a freaking phone.  There is absolutely no reason.  A new phone is not relevant.  It does not make you look cool because a cell phone is so ubiquitous now.  Your grandmother has a phone.  Your friends have a phone. Everybody has a cell phone.  Need versus want is what I am saying.  You don't need a new phone.  You have more computing power in your current phone than what NASA had to put man on the moon.
