Barely any new reason to get it, but the horror you might face of not convincing the world that doesn't care that you are hip is just too much!!!

Imagine owning a smartphone in 2017


Durr I need a $1000 device that costs $100+ a month to use so while I am on the toilet, I can view Facebook updates from people I vaguely knew in HS

Still rocking an iPhone 5. Put in a new $25 battery like 6 months ago and it's still going strong.

Ugh, my girlfriend does this.
On our first date I was like, " I don't understand why people have to get the newest iPhone every year." And she got all quiet, and I was like "oh, you upgraded from the 6 to 7 didn't you?" Whatever, her money.

Didn't Apple practically brick everything before the 6 in the latest update?

I fucking hate how long it took me to finally find a phone I'm satisfied with, and how many times I switched before getting to that point. Like, six devices since 2014. Problem is every one of the phones before that, save for one, had a problem with it which made me stop using it.

Turns out the Motorola G4 Play is my perfect device. $130 device and a $18 monthly bill. :V

Well said, fam. The only time I get new phones is with ge free upgrades with my service plan. My iPhone 7plus is the only phone I've had that wasn't outdated (it was free, though).

I don't get people camping out in the streets to get a new phone that will probably do the same things as their old phones.

I equally don't see the allure of camping out to obtain a commercially marketed product.

Yes, maybe you'll be the first person on your street to own the device but millions of other people already have it. You aren't special.

It's like lining up to a Toyota dealership to be first in line to get a Corolla.

Smartphones used to advance quickly enough that you could justify buying a new one every year, and I think most people were at least on a two year cycle due to their plans.

Now, the technology has basically plateaued, so you can easily go 3-4 years without upgrading. A 2013 smartphone still works fine.

Didn't Apple practically brick everything before the 6 in the latest update?


Everything from the 5 down. 5S has a 64 bit chip so it's safe.

That being said, I have Jump On Demand and it only takes a few bucks to upgrade. Worth it considering its a device I'll always have with be and be using every day, even if it's for a year. That equates down to what, a few cents a day? Still worth it.

JOD? You give your current phone to T-Mobile, pay the upgrade cost of the new phone and you're set. Can do it 2-3 times a year, but of course with iPhones it's only an annual thing
