You marry the second because the first is bipolar and has relationship issues.

Hmmm…I've been an idiot for over 19 years now then.
But I'm her idiot.
That's great. But I know for a fact if you ever split, the courts are stacked against you with a vengeance.

you don't know that. maybe thats what happened to you, but not everyone.

I don't know if it is just me, but, I find it funny how so many people keep buying new phones every year just because there is a newer version out. Their current phone might be fine and fully working, yet they will spend hundreds of $ just to get the latest model. I am not talking about just iPhones but any smartphone.
Some people can afford it and its their own personal decision. Not everyone is in the same situation.
I find it funny how some people spend their money but again its their money so not really my problem or concern.
To some people, the cost of a smartphone is a lot. To others, it's nothing. It all depends on how much they earn for a living.
Outside of money, why do they buy it. I didn't say they shouldn't use their money as they please. What's the reason for buying the next model, just a year (sometimes less) after the one they just bought?

Irrelevant of cost, why do they do it? Having the extra money to buy them is not a reason as to why they are buying them. It just means the cost is irrelevant for them.
Whatever their reasons might be they dont need to explain anything to me or you.
Worry about yourself, focus on what you do and try to improve your own situation.
If a particular decision is not right for you it doesn't mean you can judge others decisions, people will do whatever makes them happy and in the end there's nothing wrong with that.
Everyone is responsible for their own life.
wtf is your problem? I am not judging them, I am asking a question about how these people reach to buying a new phone every year.
What is your problem?
Nobody has to explain their reasons of upgrading yearly to you.
You're trying to mock and act like you are smarter than everyone that updates their iPhone every year?
Who are you to judge?
You are the one with the issues.
You're the one trying to talk down and say you think it's funny that people upgrade every year.
I wasn't going to reply but...I can't reply as I would have liked as I would most likely get banned.
Not HAHA funny, funny as in curious; strange; peculiar; odd:
The haha funny wouldn't make any sense to begin with. There is nothing humorous about the purchase of phones. (that I know of).
Anyway, seriously now, done talking to you.
Have extra, lots of extra, money means they don't need a reason to justify a purchase. It would be that they just like the smell of unboxing a new phone, or simply 'why not'.
That is an answer/reason. Liking how it looks, smells, is a reason. Thank you.
The minute people catch on and realize that they don't need a new phone every year is the death knell of Apple.
My 6 works fine. I have zero interest in upgrading it.
The 7 has serious issues that don't I wish to entertain.
The OP is right. You should be bored. The 7 is just a 6 for the most part.

There's nothing strange or weird about peope that like to upgrade to the newest device every year.
That's why Apple and all carriers have programs that allow the yearly upgrade to the new device. And those programs are very popular btw.
What is so strange or peculiar about that?
I tend to agree with you. I was pretty pro on switching to Android for a while, and even had the money all ready to get a S7 Edge. Then I had a go with an Android tablet, and used it as my daily driver for a week. That was enough to get me to change my mind. The experience was horrible. Android was fine to use every now and then, but to use it every day - no thanks. My 7+ 256gb is on order, and due to arrive in a few weeks.
For me, the lack of a new design is a huge bonus. It means that the iPhone 7 is effectively the third version of the 6 design, and has had the glitches worked out of the design twice. This is more than any other iPhone. It makes the iPhone 7 one of the most solidly designed phones Apple have ever produced.
Apple have a habit of screwing up when they redesign a product. The iPhone 4 had the antenna problems, the iPhone 6 had Bendgate and Touch Disease. The "s" models have always been the phones to buy.
This is exactly why I believe there will be a lot of very disappointed people when the iPhone 8 comes out.
Exactly. I loved my 6, 6S, and 6S+. Apple now made it even better by putting in a dual camera, and spec upgrade to make it faster and smoother. What's not to like?
Just because something looks quite similar doesn't make it the same for the most part. It's fairly different for the most part.
Actually, it's more like you go out with the first and have some fun for a couple of years, get rid of it, then you switch to the second and have some fun for a couple more years. Then when it is time to upgrade, you pick something that suits what you want, and use that for a couple more years, before you get rid of it, and start again.
So yes, picking a phone is VERY much like entering into a modern relationship.
If anyone is bored of their iphone 7 I think I can help. Box it up and ship it to "David from Canada" (don't worry, Canada is a small little town and they'll know who I am if you just write David).
If you ship it over to me then I promise you'll never be bored of your iphone again!

Just moved from 6 to 7+. It's definitely not the same phone. The only thing that remained similar is the general design; they're both glass/metal rectangles.
Also, I've finally given up my last attachment to small phones. Should've moved on to 5.5 or higher long ago.
