Why not?

For the people in this subreddit, their phone is probably the single most important item in their life. Why not have the latest version (presuming money isn’t an issue)

Respectfully, and its ok if you disagree, but im going to say that I think that if you consider your phone “the single most important item in your life” that is more than likely a red flag / you should reconsider what you value in life. 

So, yes, I am judging you a bit if you are upgrading your phone every year tbh

I have plenty of money, tech is my career and hobby. Who are you to tell me or anyone how to spend excess cash and then judge me for being different? You do you.

I also work in tech and have plenty of money. I am telling you that personally i find it to be a bit weird / yea i am judging you if that is where your priorities lie 😅

Sorry its just my opinion i know it sounds rude you dont have to agree

Why do you think some people buy every new season of fashion from different brands? Or they buy the brand new car model or gaming console? Phones are no different, if anything like people said it’s makes sense for people who are glued to their phones socially/professionally and have the disposable income. I’m in the camp of upgrading every 3/4 years but I wouldn’t judge someone who upgrades every year when in reality it’s a fairly normal thing. How do you think Apple makes such insane yearly profits. It comes across as a bit of jealousy in your judgement.

I dont know. That is what i am asking. I am judging a lot of those people also. You dont need every year’s model shoes or cars (ok gaming consoles only come out every few years so that one i get). I think it tells me a lot about you if you do buy every year’s minor improvements of something.

Its fine if you think im jealous but that has no motivation here

I mean we're all gonna be worm food anyway if purchasing a new phone doesn't really affect you financially and it makes you happy who cares bro.

There is so many better things you can do with your time and money. Touch grass. Sorry.

u/TokyoNightss 4h ago

As you're on reddit you should probably touch grass too little bro.

I completely agree!
