lol imagine having two phones, takes years to save up just to buy one!
Have you tried being rich? I highly recommend it.
Could also try being frugal, there are plenty of smart phones for 200-300$ that will do everything your $1200 iPhone will do with a longer battery life. Most people I know spend more on a phone annually than I spend on my last car! And no u don't need a new phone every year or two. Currently typing from my Moto G I got for 200$ new.
Legit sound advice, I use the cheaper android phones so I never spend more than £120 on one. Only issue I ever have is the lacking RAM, otherwise they're great.
I paid 70€ on my current phone, and it has 8GB of RAM, and even a headphone jack. Buying used is great
Damn, I need to start buying used then.
