That new iPhone is a lot of Bills, Food or a family holiday, petrol, Ticket fees and bait money.
Each to their own how they spend their hard earned 👍👎.

I'm getting the proper hump with iPhones to be honest. I have two, one is my work number and one my personal phone.
I've had
x1 4s
X2 5s
X2 6s
X1 Xs
I have broken the screen on every single one of them. The latest one, the XS, was in a case, I dropped it from waist height, screen broke, now hardly works and Apple want £280 to repair it. The US presidents car has windows that can take a direct hit from an RPG so how hard can it be to fit a bit of glass to a phone that can take being dropped on a small bit of gravel.

I bet it takes more effort to make RPG resistant phones than it does to not drop it in the first place
Those glass screen protectors seem to work, my missus one took the impact and broke but the screen stayed in one piece.

iPhones are a rip off all round imo. I had every iPhone from the original through to the 7. Then they released the X which basically had the same specs as the Samsung S8 but for twice the price. Couple that with the fact Apple were caught slowing down old phones...... I walked away and will not go back. Rip off merchants.

My upgrade is due literally as the stock hits the shelves, I'm in... Green 256gb please!
I've had 3GS, 4, 5, 6s+, 7 & X and only ever broken the 6s+ and up until the X I've never used a case either. I now have a thin skin and a screen protector applied in store, had the X for 2 years in December.
I actually work in retail and it makes me die the amount of people who'll happily spend £1200 on a phone or £2000 on a laptop but won't spend £30 on a case as it's “too” expensive...
Probably those same people will buy a Korda Krusher and then buy the sleeve for it though...🤪
At the end of the day there are a range of phones out there to suit all budgets, these iPhones are at the top end of that so won't be what everyone wants or needs but that's the same with almost every “product” on the market be it Cars, Watches, Reels, Kitchen Units, Lawn Mowers, Trainers etc etc etc

Wife and kids all have Apple phones but i have always had Androids.....there's nothing theirs can do that my Huawei P20 pro can't but there's a lot that mine can do that the App Store wont allow, (unless you jailbreak them, which invalidates everything!).
My son recently upgraded his iphone and i had the opportunity of having his 8S, I played around with it for some time but couldn't transfer anything directly from my Android, (the "Move to iOS" app is crap and the Apple Genius Bar confirmed this) and the lack of like for like Apps was quite surprising! At the end of the day there was not nearly enough to justify moving from Android so I stuck with the Huawei...(although I know the Chinese are supposed to be using them to start world domination!).
Ironically my Employers are changing all of our work mobiles over the next month or so so from Samsungs to iphone 8's so i will end up with one anyway!!

Isn't it crazy that people are made to think that if they don't have the latest Iphone then they are missing out and being left behind! People are made to feel inadequate if they don't have the newest model. See it so often......people saying they are skint .....whilst sat scrolling through facebook on their £80 a month phone. Incredible. It is each to their own I guess

It could be construed as narcissistic conditioning,manufacturers of stuff right across the board,know this,and use the weakness of humans to perpetuate a need,a need that is made to be paramount in today's human psyche...
It is exactly the same in angling,eg,if you don't have the 'right gear,lingo or clothing',subconsciously by others you maybe could be ostracised.
It is all about thinking for yourself,and not becoming a slave to overt consumption....
