I bought my iPhone outright but I wait for a deal (ozbargain is a great resource) and I have my phone for 3 - 4 years before I upgrade. I use it all the time. Itâs worth the splurge for Apple for me. But I agree with pricing, everytime I upgrade the outright price has gone up a fair bit.

Since I bought my ipad pro Iâve been leaning towards going back to iOS for a phone
Fuck theyâre ridiculously expensive. I would be buying outright this time and yeah, hoky fuck Iâm not paying almost 2k for a phone.

Iâve had my Samsung almost 4 years so I hear you about keeping a phone for a while.
IPhones seem to hold their value a hell of a lot more than Samsungâs do.
Iâll check out ozbargain, thanks for the heads up :)

yeah I just wait until my sister upgrades her phone plan and gives me her old one XD.
Last phone I bought was literally a nokia 3310. Itâs a phone. I donât care. I get everyoneâs hand me downs.

Phone prices have been getting ridiculous in the last couple of years. Iâm almost swinging the other way and I think Iâll get a mid-tier Chinese phone next

You can usually pick up last yearâs model for a major discount and itâs often not much different to the current model.
