It's waaaaay more than that though... I hear what you are saying often and scratch my head everytime. Your phone is your singularly most used electronic device that you own... more than a computer, more than a tv, more than even your car. It can virtually do anything; and there are few items even available on the market that are as capable... the price tag is very very well worth it and has the quickest ROI of virtually anything you could own... It's even a business and work tool. The massive improvement in speed, screen quality, camera quality, battery and a host of other improvements make the upgrade more than worth it. That's what you realize after a day of owning the new phone... The kicker; comments like the ones made above have come to me from people wearing $15k Rolexes... if that's not a LOL, then I don't know what is. |
We must use our phones much differently. I use my PC, iPad and TV far more than my phone. When I'm in my home (and I work from home), my phone is forwarded to my landline and I don't use it at all. The best ROI to me is to delay upgrading as long as possible unless Apple or another phone manufacturer gives me an easily understood reason to upgrade.
As far as luxury purchases go (and I don't have a Rolex, but I do have an M4) those are for enjoyment, not ROI.
