I see people nowadays buying ~€1,000 #smartphones, and replacing them every year or two — especially techies and teenagers.
Hear me out: I bought my current smartphone… four years and five months ago. I paid exactly €144,74 for it. It was (and still is) free and unlocked. It is still in good working condition (although getting a bit too slow now).
I am a professional technologist.
_What the hell do you need a $1K cell phone every couple of years for?_

@Pat @tripu just watch my 30-ish kids playing the latest games on the iphones, while the baby trundles around. Whoops, stop for an Instagram post.
