i buy used everything these days unless i have a business need when it comes to electronics.
i still use m1 max 32gb which i got last year. i got it for $899. it replaced a intel mbp which had served me well for 5 years.
i use an iphone 15.
idk i mean i have money so im not broke or poor.
but you can bet your ass even if i had more, like $100 billion or whatever, i am STILL NOT going to drop $2k on something if its not going to make a meaningfully life changing different in my life.
it’s just a phone made for doing the Least Common Denominator type shit. like calling and texting or doom scrolling a bit
consumerism is for losers. no shame in that.
i rather just collect the money via my indirect investments including in apple if others want to blow their money tho!
i can spend it on something actually unique and interesting :) like high end audiophile earbuds which sound amazing but are brittle and have issues. so i’ll buy 2-3 pairs of those while one of them is under repair :)
