Same for sure! I assume we are the odd ones out, but I get so excited for iPhone season even though I know most of the features are going to be incremental upgrades.
It’s my “one thing” every year. We can’t afford vacations or anything, and I cannot afford to buy the phone outright—I upgrade through tmobiles jump program, where I just pay tax on the new phone and send in my old one, and the new installment plan replaces my old installment plan, for the same amount. This does not bother me in the slightest.
Last year I watched the keynote while waiting for my daughter at the bus stop, I’ll be doing that again this year and I’m excited for it

Love this! I do the same via apples iPhone upgrade program. September is my favourite time of the year! I used to queue up for each new iPhone every year 😅 it was always such a good atmosphere. Miss those days.Same for sure! I assume we are the odd ones out, but I get so excited for iPhone season even though I know most of the features are going to be incremental upgrades.

I’m always surprised at the number of people that think that the only people buying iPhones, already own iPhones.
Fun times! On release day for the OG 2G iPhone I went to the Apple Store to check it out, not knowing what I’d think as I hadn’t had a smart phone before. Checked it out, loved it, but walked away… and turned around the very next day and went back to get one. Team iPhone ever since and I absolutely love it!
Back then I used to religiously watch WWDC and these keynotes too! Then I started watching them at 2x because I couldn't handle Tim Apple's drivel and hyperbole. Then I read summaries because even at 2x it wasn't worth my time. Now I don't even bother with reading a summary because Apple have lost the ability to captivate/excite me at all.
I sometimes even watch old Keynotes with Steve. It's less waste of time for me than watching the recent ones.
BAHAHA I feel this to my core. I can get more excited about products that have been released and been made obsolete than their new, unreleased garbage.
