I just pay it off whenever I want to. This year I’m paying outright for my device so my monthly bill will be substantially cheaper since I’m switching to Verizon.
Got a tip for us?

As always, buy the product that best suits your needs. For some that’s Apple, for others not 🤷♂️

5G? For some countries, sure. In the US, it’ll be a long rollout, but the sub-6 frequency band will be helpful.
mm wave is a whole different question. imo that’s just a way for the carriers to have cell users subsidize their fixed wireless play.

I'm not boycotting a product I want because of some rational that is unimportant to me.
Ok, We got it. You are also part of the problem
I’m not boycotting it neither. If I couldn’t afford it, then I won’t buy it. People have a whole year to save for the next iPhone if they don’t have the money already in their account. I have been saving since last year for the 512GB and even have money for AppleCare+ saved up.
And that is the freedom of capitalism. My guess there are more of me than the “let’s boycott Apple crowd.”

They do this because they know people will buy it anyway, like any company would do in the same position.
As for the Apple sheep or fanboi arguments - everyone has a product or service where price is not a consideration, so I find that argument redundant.
Personally I've stopped buying the top of the line iPhones (in either model or storage), since they don't offer great advantages and are way more expensive. I've actually broken my usual practice of a new phone every two years (I have an iPhone 8), but this year I plan to go to the larger iPhone 12 (non-pro) model.

I was making a joke because you wrote “principal“ when I think what you meant to write was “principle”. I was just poking some lighthearted fun at you is all

Well darn I was hoping there really was an Apple Academy where they taught how to code, make apps, how to get big on social media, etc.
I have the 7+ also and I would guess IOS 15 would be the last update for it, so over 2 more years left with a phone that is perfectly fine.

Maybe we should start one then! You could be the principal
Plus what a fun origin story, that a couple of Apple fan site forum members came together to make an all-inclusive institution like that haha
