The new Iphone. When is enough, enough?

Mister Tudball's Avatar
I've had an iPhone 6 for several years. It's been a great phone with no issues and has every feature I need.

Wasn't even thinking about upgrading. But damn Sprint, they have a 50% off upgrade special and it was just too tempting. So now I have an 8 Plus on order for $22 per month on the lease deal, which is less than I pay for the 6.

I think I'm hooked for life.

Why would you lease a phone? $22 a month is $528 every two years.

The lease it to you for 18 months. Then allow you to upgrade after 12 months.Or pay the remainder off at the end of the lease. Figuring most of us,will want a new phone when the next ones come out..

It's been enough for a little while now! You really have to pay thru the nose for the storage that you need to office from your phone these days.

My poor little $100 android only has 4gb of memory, and even with a 64gb SD card it won't run right anymore because some of my apps store a lot of data that I am constantly having to clear to keep it from grinding to a halt.

I just bit the bullet and ordered a phone with 64gb of memory...woo-hoo I am going to be spoiled when it arrives! I am not thrilled that it was $700...but it will be nice to be able to function like I actually live in the 21st century, lol.
