Does the world really need a new iPhone every year?

Phones should drop at the same pace as gaming consoles at this point. No way you can justify a $800+ purchase every yr to tweet and text

I can't fault a business for trying to maximize profits. I mean EVERY business's goal is to make money.

I mean, I ain't faulting mcdonald's for making ppl fat either. ppl need some personal responsibility and to throw that on to a corporation is lazy and weak as fukk.

No one's faulting them...just not buying into the hype anymore. Happens to businesses all the time.

Just because they release a new model every year doesn't mean you have to buy it every year.
So it's incorrect that their phones have a short life span.

My pops been rocking the same iphone 5 for 4 years now without any issues
Too bad your pops doesn't represent the demographic

If this was going from 6 to 6s or 7 then I'd say not. But the 8 is a total refresh and I signed up for the upgrade plan so damn right we do :yeshrug:

If not, I'd just be selling my current 7+ and taking the proceeds to put towards a new device:martin:
