Huh? I guess the current model is, via a bank? And this rumor is that Apple would be the bank? Who cares?
Given that a smartphone will remain in good working order, and reasonably current in terms of tech, for 2-3 years, you'd have to be a bit of a mug to pay this.
And I'm pretty rough on my tech, I imagine most people would do far better than that.
My last iPhone lasted more than six years hahaha
I didn’t even need to upgrade, but I wanted 120hz, USB-C, and better cat pics in low light. I did not realize how big of a difference it would be for cat pix. It’s wild that I don’t have to charge it every night, too!
Did you replace the battery at any point?
Nope! Original battery!
