RE: Is iphone so necessary, nice and worth value for money that one may take loan for purchasing it?

• It is only meant for the people who are too rich.

I would classify a smartphone as an item for the middle class.

In the US, one often receives a phone as part of a service contract. A service plan is eseentially a loan.

The question people should ask before buying a smartphone is if the phone will return the cost of the phone over its lifetime.

I went with a prepaid plan instead of a contract. I got a refurbished Pixel 2 for $100. My service plan is $12/month.

I use the pictures on my HIVE posts. The HIVE posts offset the cost of the phone.

I contemplated spending $1,000 on an iPhone. The additional quality of the pictures is not worth it to me.
