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. It’s worth the splurge for Apple for me. But I agree with pricing, everytime I upgrade the outright price has gone up a fair bit.
Phone prices have been getting ridiculous in the last couple of years. I’m almost swinging the other way and I think I’ll get a mid-tier Chinese phone next
Since I bought my ipad pro I’ve been leaning towards going back to iOS for a phone
Fuck they’re ridiculously expensive. I would be buying outright this time and yeah, holy fuck I’m not paying almost 2k for a phone.

I’ve 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 Samsung’s do.
I’ll check out ozbargain, thanks for the heads up :)

You can usually pick up last year’s model for a major discount and it’s often not much different to the current model.
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. It’s a phone. I don’t care. I get everyone’s hand me downs.
