Get her a regular tablet/chromebook type of device
It's legit way cheaper, and just as good as the apple products these days. It's not 2010 anymore, android devices are pretty good.

Majority if not all carriers offer to bill you a certain amount for a year or so until the phone or/and tablet is paid off.

Would hate to grow up in these days. My granny's favorite word was No. She was old school to the bone. If she gave u 5 dollars last week and u ask for some money this week she'd be bewildered that you don't got nothing left from that five she "just" gave u, and that was in the 90s. Her head would spin and pop off if I was to ask her for a thousand dollar anything. Even if she were alive today she would not be buying us extra stuff. Shoes and clothes at the beginning of the school yr and at Christmas. Don't ask for nothing else.

I was agreeing with you breh, I couldn't imagine dropping a grand for an apple product when I can save my money and get a device that does everything I need it to

$1000 just for a fukking tablet....
they must be out they fukking minds...
Where I live, nearby communities & adjacent cities, I see new homes popping up. Not small homes, but 2 story 4-6+ bed/bathroom homes.
I wonder how people are able to afford buying them? My guess is that people are either buying them with 2 incomes or families are consolidating and sharing the mortgage.
To think that some people expect one person to afford these homes on top of everything else is a trip!
Yeah, prices are going up but not everyone's income is going up.
I hear ya OP...
shyt is expensive, especially in HCOL states.

Didn't say. I was price shopping for a new one because the old one I gave her (it was the iPad they deprecated a year after it was released) doesn't support new software anymore. Decided to get myself a new iPad and give her my current iPad.
Not only that, but we just has a historic recession with what 20% unemployment and the economy is moving along like none of that ever happened and we're in some kind of bull market.
Do you think things gonna get better within the next few years? I sure hope so!
This is certainly not the time to get into heavy debt, especially for things that aren't a necessity.
There are people willing to pay for this bullshyt at that price and wait in lines, so companies like Apple feel justified doing the bullshyt they do with prices and limiting the features on their products.
