Because if they werent, there would be revolution every 20 years like Jefferson wanted.

Annoying these things are both (a) almost required in many careers and (b) only made to last at most 3 or 4 years. I rode my last one as hard as I could for literally a half decade but its number eventually got called.

Its like a car. You know you're not going to be making money off it but so the least you can do is soften the impact...and it not like you can really live without one.

Uhhh I'm a limo driver and almost all of my trips come through an app.

If I had an interview tell me they dont have a cell phone, reguardless of skills, goodbye. Not even continuing the interview at that point

>>1828048
>most jobs like limo driver for an app.
You meant some companies require an iphone however an actual company would give you a company phone and not require you have one before hand.
>>1828053
You must not be a native english speaker. The company isnt requiring you to buy specifically an iphone. You can buy a cheap flip phone from walmart and be okay.

>>1828095

And you fail at reading comprehension as OP did not say a word about an iphone.

Because its hip and trendy

Good choice anon, i'm typing from one right now. Had it 4 years and still works great!

because some people don't give a fuck about spending $1k on a phone because they aren't neets and have real jobs that allow them to make such purchases.

Just bought the galaxy a5 2017, after 4 years of my galaxy s4.
It's really basic, I like it, good quality/price ratio. The best thing is the battery life, moderate use could last you two days.
I can just call and use apps all day without having to worry about it dying all of a sudden.

>i need a relatively cheap status symbol available to proles like me to enjoy life

>>1827967
To enjoy the money they have earned? Not everything is an investment you robot

My iphone 5 still runs like a champ after 4 years. I finally had to retire my ipad 2 after 10 years but it still runs.

Im 22 Years old and in the Army
I bought a decent noname-brand prepaid smart phone for 100$ and the monthly cost comes out to about 13$ a month for 300MB data and enough calls and texts. But I still get A TON of shit and stuff from the people here, my point is the petty bullshit doesn't end after highschool, it gets worse

pls no bully

The average person around here is so fucking bad with money they will buy a car with 30% interest and make payments equal to 3/4 of their monthly paycheck. I live in the barracks and my total monthly expenses are around 100$ a month in fixed expences. And maybe 60-90$ a month in optional BS, but I know tons of soldiers who live in the barracks, have no real expenses(healtcare, housing, food all provided. vehicles not even needed) yet are in thousands of dollars of debt.
Human beings are not treated like cattle, human beings ARE cattle, hook them up to a milk machine and milk them. They cannot be trusted to budget our own money, let alone VOTE on how to budget our nations money

Because i haven't had a smartohone since the original motorola droid.

Master race galaxy s7 firebomber here. Hoping it burns my shitty house down.

Really nothing not to love here.

Nearly all consumer goods depreciate. They should never be understood as stand alone investments or assets

The bourgies know how to keep the proles in line.

because the iphone 7 is simply the best smartphone one can buy
beautiful design and perfect os
android is for poorfags

iphones are overprized as hell, but if you just want a smartphone that works with no bullshit, you gotta bite that bullet.

Personally, I could easily afford it, but it's just not worth it too me. I'll stick with my blackberry for quite a few more months, and when I finally have to get a new one, I'll see what I do.

The only thing that bugs me about iphones, is that idiots that think its a status symbol.

No, it's fucking not. If everyone, not matter if on wellfare or in a McJob can get one, it is not a status symbol. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

But on the other hand, I wish everyone would buy one of those, and apple keeps rising the prices, because that will keep rising the apple stock. And that is the apple product I own.

I cringe at some of the shit I've bought in the past. Computers with multiple graphics cards, a racing bike and other electronics. I could be thousands of pounds richer, at least I wised up before doing serious damage.

>2 years later still pretty fast and I see no reason to upgrade
>I could sell it right now for $200 and every day of use this amazing tool would have costed me 20 cents.

Having a smartphone is a ridiculously good deal if you buy it used and sell it on eBay when you're done with it.
