I don't get paying more than $150 for a phone. I just need to check emails, read hexbear, and listen to podcasts. Am I the only one terrified about having this fragile and very stealable $2000 thing in my pocket???
In 2019 less than 10% of Americans were buying $1000 phones so you're probably with the majority still.
Also yeah I drop my phone a lot so I use a really sturdy phone case that's protected it 100% of the time. Obviously ruins the look though so why even bother with a fancy looking phone...
i've been using a moto g5 for years and i drop it all the time, no phone case
to the point where it's become a bit of a joke among friends in class, since every time it drops it kind of spreads around, battery on one side, back cover to the other, volume button goes wherever, and like 1 or 2 people help me pick up the parts lmao
but the screen is still pristine, not a single scratch, not a single crack
i'm really sad it's becoming too slow even for normal daily shit, i doubt any current cell phone could take such a beating
My millionaire friend from school did buy those new things, used them, lost, or destroyed them within a couple of month and had like 1-2 phones per year or more (newest models of course).
Ya I know a no work, 30 something daughter of a capitalist, who buys every sub version of the iPhone the second it comes out. She'll even line up and shit.
Yeah exactly (mine was the daughter of a land lord family and married a capitalist heir who fetishised her hard). Lining up for new gadgets did happen, too. Though often not personally.

Lol, I buy garbage phones but no case. To each their own.
AFAIK I've destroyed one phone from dropping, and have had to replace one display.

no one buys phones outright (but you should!), everyone just gets it through their carrier for some monthly price added to the bill over three years.
