    You do know that Apple gives pretty damn solid trade ins right?

    If you have a 14 pro and want to upgrade to a 15 pro, you get $570 for your 14 if it’s in good shape. So a 15 pro is only $429.

    If you really enjoy having the latest and greatest, it’s not that hard to put away $35 a month towards upgrading.

        The average person isn’t buying their phone outright either. They’re getting an upgrade from their cell carrier, and most of them do “free phone on us” as long as you stay under contract for 2 years.

        T-Mobile for example (just who I’m with) will give you a $1000 credit towards a 15 pro if you trade in an “eligible device” over 24 months.

        Relatively few people are just outright dropping $1000 on a phone.
