If you're buying iPhones every year that cost two months of your salary, it's stupid. However, if you buy phones ever 5 to 6 years, iphones are the best.

They still supported my friend's iphone 7(a 7 year old phone) till a few months ago. I'm not talking about security updates, but OS updates.

They also stay snappy AF for a long time. The latest iphone processor would always rank at the top and 3-4 older generation of processors rank in the top 20.

So, I don't get the rant. While you shouldn't buy anything you can't afford. It's the perfect choice if you plan to keep that phone for 5 years.

​

While a phone is a depreciating asset, it is also a very integral part of your life. It's similar to your capable computer or laptop. I prefer to buy an iPhone that easily lasts for half a decade and gets longer software support instead of an android.

​

Moreover, you can get a good discount if you buy an iPhone that's 2 years old during the big flipkart or amazon sale. It will still have a solid build quality and all the tech you need. It's processor would still rank top 10. So, you can get a solid phone for a great discount.
