The only thing that annoys me is when people mention the cost. Stay out of my pockets & you won’t have to feel some kind of way about how much it costs🤷🏾*♀️ Worry about your budget, not mine!!

It doesn’t have to do anything about budget. I can easily afford one but would never spend that much on a smartphone. That shouldn’t bother you. I’m glad you bought one and am enjoying it! We all have our own perspectives.

I probably should have said, when people complain about the cost of “my” device or the cost of any of “my” items. It’s one thing to say you wouldn’t pay for said item, but it’s another to steadily question why/how I’m able to get mine. That’s why I said stay out of my pockets lol

Gotcha. Its no ones business how you can afford your device. If you work hard for your money you can spend it any way you like.

Amen and I have always felt the same way, I work hard for what I have and if I choose to spend the money for an iPhone X, it’s my business, period.

Maybe it’s just me...BUT I think a lot of people have seen the value in programs like Apple Upgrade, T-Mobile JUMP, AT&T NEXT, etc. However they got onboard at various times. Thus, I believe I don’t hear comments about the X because I’m beginning to see it as the iPhone I see most often, or at least a lot more often, except one caveat.

Clearly there are some who have held on to the “Home Button” and also prefer the “Plus” models. That’s great for them...but back to my point, people making monthly payments with an opportunity to get a new device versus making payments on an old device are seeming to catch up. So the “not spending $1000 issue is gone”. They’ll simply always be slightly behind the early adopters because of their “upgrade date”.
