WHY pay like $1300 for new cell phones

after talking to friend he told me his i phone 13 will cost him $1450 with payments monthly

my old I phone 7 cost me $190 total with water tight case 3 weeks ago online ordered from walmart delivered in 2 days $145 full price and the old case fit the new one

also my desktop pc HP  huge 17 " flat screen only cost $550 for everything

I still have my 2 tin Campbell cans form 1960 with waxed string in my garage if you¡¯d like to really look nostalgic! But they will cost you ! Pm me for a good price 

Paying more than $1,000 for a phone is just plain stupid unless the phone can cook and clean for you, predict the outcome of games. Otherwise, forget about it.

it's those flat earthers type who are driving up prices

 because iPhone is now became an addiction for people and they spent much more money every year to purchase iphone latest version.

...because people want

A) A faster processor, and/or

B) better screen resolution, and/or

C) A better camera, and/or

D) to flex on poors.

The average phone will last you 2/3 years under the right conditions. They're designed to go about 2 years. Not really a lot of money all things considered. Sure, you can get by just fine with s $200 phone but if you can afford it, why not have the latest.

change carriers = free phone .... they want your business .... then a couple 2-3 years later, change carriers again.  

Those phones aren't free. They'll hide the cost in your monthly bill.

 Duh

Call me, call you. My phone cost me $110 and it's not a brand name either! I don't need on the go social media. You kids are so inundated by social media. You read lies and believe them.

 Stop using your Fruity(gay)phone. Start using a Samsung. I'll pay you $500 a month, one stipulation you have to give your Fruity phone.

I use both Google phone and an iPhone. Tbh, the apps and the camera are much better on the iPhone. The thing that you really need to work well is the facial recognition camera so you can log into your gambling sites and make your picks. My iPhone is faster than the Google phone for that, and the browser just works better. Let's face it - for us degens, the speed to surf these sometimes archaic gambling sites is king. Having a nice camera to take pics of your family is also helpful, as are the golf apps if you play.
