It's waaaaay more than that though... I hear what you are saying often and scratch my head everytime. Your phone is your singularly most used electronic device that you own... more than a computer, more than a tv, more than even your car. It can virtually do anything; and there are few items even available on the market that are as capable... the price tag is very very well worth it and has the quickest ROI of virtually anything you could own... It's even a business and work tool. The massive improvement in speed, screen quality, camera quality, battery and a host of other improvements make the upgrade more than worth it. That's what you realize after a day of owning the new phone... The kicker; comments like the ones made above have come to me from people wearing $15k Rolexes... if that's not a LOL, then I don't know what is. |
I agree with you, but under certain conditions. I worked in the mobile sector for 5 years (at both T-Mobile and Verizon) and have dealt with all types of customers.
I've had customers come in with an iPhone 4 (in 2015) and they were perfectly fine with it since they didn't need the iPhone 7 (latest phone at that time). I've also had customers come in needing an upgrade because their phone isn't advanced enough to handle their needs. At the end of the day, phones are similar to cars, some just need something from point A to point B and others may need to upgrade every few years to satisfy their needs.
