...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.
