Many people spend $1000 on every new iPhone despite living paycheck to paycheck

You curious about sucking dick, too?

No but your father was, you cumchugging rectal swashbuttler

>paying more than $40 for phone and sim

Have you been following my dad you creepy ass goblin?

No, but I heard he wasn't allowed near primary schools

Is my dad the only man you take interest in or are you curious about many others?

Only those on the sex offender registry in order to avoid wondering why my little sister comes home walking funny

im still using an iphone 5s lol

>forced to use iphone for work
>turns out it's far better than the alternative
>Jow Forums mostly hates them because they're poor (it's a meme but it's true)

>Jow Forums rightfully trashes it
>one year goes by
>apple releases iOS 12 which makes my 2-year-old iPhone 6s Plus feel like a brand new device, buttery smooth, truly a pleasure to use, does everything I need it to do and more, perfectly, like clockwork
>w-w-well you can rice your home screen and run an IRC client, take that, Apple...!
>who cares about geolocked app stores and stringent quality control that prevents pajeet commenters and pajeet devs from releasing mountains of shitware and tight security protocols that prevent apps from running rampant in the background and killing your battery life and making your phone feel like a windows 95 computer after 6 months of ownership
>another few months go by
>most major lagdroid flagships have now copied the notch

iPhones are really nice for work but fuck walled gardens for personal use, I'd rather buy an Android phone. And fuck notches too.

i buy used, and only every 2-3 years
still using a 7+ i got over a year ago, i'll use it another year before getting another phone

buying used isn't bad, since most of the time they can last 4-5 years if you really don't want to spend, and you can take time to get the next one

>iPhones are really nice for work but fuck walled gardens for personal use
what's "walled garden" about it, though? It's just better designed. You can code your software, install open source shit, it's exactly the same as Android just with a better design. What can't you do, other than installing a ROM made by some Paki on xda-developers?

One of my checks is about $1,500 USD but I would never pay $1,500 for a phone

clap clap we are impressed by your preferences

all these retarded walled garden comments. a house with a garden of any kind is going to be worth more than some flat in a 3 story walkup. why not have a wall for your garden to keep out the trash and prevent impurities from growing inside it? muh open free garden of android bliss

this is smart and probably the way to go, how much did you pay for your 7+? I bought my 6s+ new and I paid $850 at the time, which I thought was exorbitant

What are you able to accomplish with a $1,500 phone? It's nonsensical. If you really must pay for that premium feature that sets it apart you very well better be utilizing it to its maximum to justify it. And I'm not talking about using Portrait Mode on every single photo taken.

personally I don't know since I'm , if I had to guess I would say you can keep and use it for 2-4 years and it'll still be a perfectly good device, unlike whatever you buy which is probably frustrating to use after a year and belongs in a landfill by year 2

damn I got an 8 Plus 256gb for $750 used/like new in December 2017, it still had 100% battery capacity

I spent $800 on my iPhone 6S plus. It came with two months free service.

I've had it since the release date, Sept 2015. Three years+. Great fucking phone!

>damn I got an 8 Plus 256gb for $750 used/like new in December 2017, it still had 100% battery capacity
Nice, I bought my 6s+ back when they were still a more recent release, I think in late 2016, but I might be wrong. It's down to 80% battery capacity so I'm thinking about taking advantage of that $30 battery program from Apple

based as fuck
correction maybe it was late 2015
>tfw your phone outlasts your memory

meanwhile my friends buying lagdroid crap have like 3-4 new paperweights by now kek

hurry bro that program ends in December i think

ok ty fren

It's easier to customize, and fuck having only access to daddy Applel's approved apps. Moreover, I don't want to deal with their overpriced, underpowered memey bullshit

>and fuck having only access to daddy Applel's approved apps
as opposed to having "only access" to daddy Google's approved Pajeet shit apps? it's the same fucking thing
>inb4 I can sideload
wow nobody cares
you can sideload iOS apps btw
>inb4 I can use f-droid
kek

tfw Google is better because their business model is based entirely around selling your data and also they're pro-inclusiveness by admitting apps coded by street shitters into the play store. Based Google.

The thing is, you don't have access only to Google's apps, and good research should be enough to avoid designated shitting apps.

>admitting shit garbage apps is superior because having low standards is better, also I totally want to live in nonwhite neighborhoods and go to b-tier university, and make $30,000 a year working overtime
>it's all about dat freedom bro, and fuck a walled garden bro, my home screen bro
>yeah that's what life is all about *sips alcoholic beverage*

>>inb4 I can use f-droid

How long do you imagine yourself working there?

>look you can install this custom icon set, LOL appledrones are so stupid!
he says, on a supposedly tech-oriented board

tfw lagdroid users constantly reverse-fanboy apple products when they themselves are just consumerist whores but with less money

I do that. Got an Xr and a macbook pro for work. Never used a mac before but it sure as hell is more comfy than windows for development.

So you're a dick?

Learn to read. I didn't "admit shit garbage apps are superior". I'm just saying that, yes, there's a ton of garbage but if you search hard enough you can find some good stuff. Also lol at that projection.

You deem yourself social outcast if you don't follow the trends.

>muh projection
top tier meme fren
>can't into implications/logical conclusion of line of reasoning
do the needful sirs

pajeets really ruin any discussion involving iOS and iPhone can india just get their own board already you fuckers are terrible at technology

No idea, I mean it's not a criteria for working in a company, but that would be interesting.
Yeah, I heard it was pretty good for development. Not much into Macbooks but iMacs look real interesting, especially the Pro.

People have been spending that kind of money and much more on computers for decades. It's just that much of the usage and spending has shifted to phones.

Is a $1000 laptop or desktop really more justifiable than a $1000 "cellphone" (they're essentially "pocketable" tablets these days) when people probably use the phone more?

>that prevents pajeet commenters and pajeet devs from releasing mountains of shitware
Except it doesn't since 2012.

have you seen the play store lately? i use both, i'm forced to use like 12 different phones for owrk, and guess what, it's like night and day
using a cheap as fuck iphone SE is like walking through a 95% white neighborhood with a token asian guy that minds his own business, maybe it's modest but everyone cuts their lawn, waves occasionally, smiles

using android is like living in a favela in brazil, may as well just fucking give up on life at that point, why even bother

Stop kvetching and just buy it

>have you seen the play store lately?
Yes I've been using it for a long time along with App Store. They're equally shit in general if you're not delusional but at least I'm able to find decent media consumption apps on Play Market.

That's not "implications/logical conclusion of line of reasoning" you cockgobbling mongoloid, that's called unjustified assumptions. Universities and non-white neighborhoods have fuck all to do with Android. Why don't you do us a favor and go chug some bleach ?

this is a consumer electronics board retard
at any rate, you're a raging homosexual

>using a cheap as fuck iphone SE is like walking through a 95% white neighborhood
More like 15% white and 85% chinks who smear their terribad looking, non-functioning and ad-ridden shit on your face.

yea the notch and lack of headphone jack is fucking retarded.

I refuse to buy any phone without either. It also sucks less and less phones have widespread rom support leaving you stuck with the lagdroid UI.

we're in dark times for cell phones.

>can't even handle basic analogies
wew

>claims his favorite reverse-fanboy device is ad-ridden while using a platform explicitly based on selling personal info and advertising
idk how much more autistic and stupid you can get man

>n-n-no, u!
Nice argument kid but no

That wasn't even a basic analogy you retard, have you even passed English 101 at your goddamn sped school ?

>expecting any decent english from applepoos

You can't wardrive with an iPhone.

Work daily with macbook pro for webdev. It is perfect. You have terminal + supported apps.

Don't worry, they elect retarded socialists to steal from the ever decreasing number of net contributors so they can have free housing, free food, and free healthcare so they can buy trivial shit like the new iphone every 8 months

Who is paying retail for phones? There’s always a huge discount when renewing with your carrier.

>despite living paycheck to paycheck
lol projecting much?

>net contributers
lol. The mental gymnastics of corporate cucks

You're right, a meth addict in and out of prison has the same value to society as a PA working at the hospital, gosh you're so right.

>Seventy-eight percent of full-time workers said they live paycheck to paycheck, up from 75 percent last year, according to a recent report from CareerBuilder.

Because that $1000 really bites into 10k a year for health insurance and 80k for a down payment on a home. Go fuck yourself.

>Who is paying retail for phones? There’s always a huge discount when renewing with your carrier.

only for android phones, most carriers offer financing via phone bill

Ah 1 note though docker for mac sucks performance wise.

>10k a year for health insurance and 80k for a down payment on a home
except people who buy iphones while living paycheck to paycheck earn

1k phone really isn't that much.

It's the $60 bill that kills you slowly.

78% of people need to work harder and quit being entitled. Stop drinking Starbucks and buying apple products, save some money. Wanna eat that expensive faggy quinoa? Fuck you. Eat an American potato. Wanna buy a new bathroom cupboard from IKEA cause it's broken? Fucking don't. Pay a Mexican to do it.

Learn how to live and stop crying about everything you babies.

If you think health insurance is too expensive, don't buy it.

An $80,000 down payment would be for a half a million dollar house. If you want to live in a half a million dollar house then make more money. You aren't entitled to live in a half million dollar house because you want to.

>buying phones from your carrier
>guaranteed locked bootloader and tracking malware preinstalled

Yeah you’re right. In a system where drug dealers are allowed to operate with impunity and rehab costs many thousands of dollars. Why can’t these filthy poor people bootstrap themselves?

>In a system where drug dealers are allowed to operate with impunity
Stop electing Democrats. You won't, though.

>rehab costs many thousands of dollars
>I fucked up, now society, pay to fix me

80k down would be for a 430k house to avoid pmi

It's on the more expensive side of detached homes but definitely realistic

>It's on the more expensive side of detached homes but definitely realistic
We're talking about USA home prices, not California or New York which are different countries.

>78% of people need to work harder and quit being entitled
You fundamentally misunderstand the question.

The issue isn't that they need to make more money (although that is the case in some instances), which would point to a conflict of interest from careerbuilder.

The bigger issue is lifestyle creep (investopedia.com/terms/l/lifestyle-creep.asp) for people in the middle and upper class who spend a lot more money as they make more.

Most Americans don't have enough savings to cover 6 months of bills:

Another source:
>A year ago, about 75 percent of U.S. workers said they were living from payday to payday, a number that has grown to 78 percent this year. The study, conducted by Harris Poll, surveyed nearly 2,400 hiring and human resource managers and 3,500 adult employees who worked full-time in May and June.

More like $100 bill because they get the unlimited super edition package and don't bother shopping around.

And they buy a new phone every 1-2 years, which is like paying $42-$83 per month.

I have a female coworker the same age as me who pays 5x what I pay for car insurance, despite my car being worth more than her's, because she didn't bother to shop around for insurance.

I don't live in California or New York and houses are expensive as fuck here. It's usually expensive to live where people want to live (aka where the jobs are)

If you are talking about places people want to live why would you post a pic of Rhode Island

Detached homes in Cali and ny cost at least 1.5mil. I'm talking about cities with good growth.

Detached homes in Ohio cost 50k and you can get a real nice house in TX and FL for 100k. But those are shitholes with no growth.

The answer to people being bad at price shopping and budgeting is more government. Obviously.

Who said anything about more government?

>you can get a real nice house in TX and FL for 100k. But those are shitholes with no growth.
And here we see the Cali bugmen so wrapped up in their state propaganda that they actually believe this. Funny you pick Texas to shit on as a dead state when it's been #1 in growth for three years straight now

>wages have been since Reagan

Texas outside of Austin is a Mexican crime ridden shithole and Austin have home prices equal to DC because that's where the good jobs are.

>when it's been #1 in growth for three years straight now
>a few wealthy stock owners are doing great so that means everything is fine

Too bad we can't do something about that and instead people like you continue to vote for politicians that make sure it stays a violent crime ridden hell hole
