Why would you pay £1000 for a phone that can achieve the same end as one you can pay £160 for?
it’s a good question..
My 6s cost £699 BITD when God weralad, amortise that over 3yrs and that’s a couple hundred quid a year.. deduct the £100 for the wife’s 6 and that’s about £150 a year which let’s face it is hardly anything for a handheld computer that allows me to post on here from the bog and annoy some of you lot! Bargain when you think about it.
The 8 is £699 and X £999… 8 will fit in my poncy man wallet, X won’t. X has photo enhancements and I do take about 30-40 pics a week of my food and post them to insta once I’ve filtered them to death.
Not that bothered about another lightning plug for earphones..
And I can afford a new phone by recycling this one to the wife who seems to use hers for grouting and paint mixing.
My problem is I’ve been lucky on the Android side. I had a Moto G5 – £150 sim free, then a G5s which I bought from the classifieds for £60. Ideally I want turbo battery charging, some splashproofing and a faster / better phone within either sub system thats going to cost me >£500 to have a phone that doesn’t come with the flaws I don’t want, which is mainly a bigger size than can fit in my Birzman phone wallet thingy. When you’ve spent £210 on 2 handsets over 3 years, suddenly £500 for a “bit” more feels excessive.

Mrs K has a 6s though and its her 40th next year so I’m saving to get her an inscribed X as my present to her.
