I took the dive into the medium Xs with Apple Care. My hobbies can be rough on things and I lost my 7 kayaking. Lately I’ve been thinking what the hell did I spend almost $1500 on a phone for. I’ve bought spec-ed out laptops and home built computers for that price.

I loved my 7 and almost had it for 3 years. It would’ve lasted 4-5 years.

To be fair, I use my phone significantly more than the laptop I have at home. $1500 is a bit insane, pretty sure $500 dollar phone and $1000 for other stuff is better value for me personally.
