Some interesting thoughts:

First, you never really own an iPhone. What that means is you are essentially leasing it, even if you pay the $1200 for the new iPhone Pro or whatever… As long as you are still beholden to product upgrades, iOS updates and the like… And assuming you have an Apple ID iCloud account… It is almost like the new digital sharecropping, or the new digital serfdom.

Second, how long should one keep their iPhone? My simple suggestion is literally just keep your iPhone until it literally breaks and is not repairable anymore? And two thoughts: first, maybe just buying the cheapest iPhone is the best strategy; and the other strategy… If you really really want the best iPhone, just buy the best iPhone that money can afford, and try to keep it for like 10 years?

Normal iPhone vs iPhone Pro

Apparently Kanye West was texting so much or using his iPhone so much that he had to get steroid injections in his wrists?

Apparently this has been happening to a lot of people, including Kanye West, myself, even my sister-in-law… When you upgrade to the bigger phone or the plus or the max or whatever, you start to get really really bad hand pain and carpal tunnel. I think this is alone the primary reason why you should just get the normal iPhone, which is lighter thinner and better.

For example, I’m actually quite enthusiastic about the new iPhone Pro in desert titanium, this matte bronze color, but even after using it for an hour or two, I knew that I must immediately return it, because it started to give me really really bad insane pain in my right wrist and carpal tunnel. Fortunately my iPhone SE does not cause this.

So assuming that you want all the upsides of the best iPhone, without the downsides, sticking to the normal iPhone might be your best bet.

Pink is cool

If ever I bought A cyber truck, a Lamborghini, a Porsche GT 3 RS or whatever, it would definitely be matte pink.
