Before buying a new phone, consider buying a refurbished one.

So, Every three years my phone contract is open to be changed. It is the same for many people. So sellers want to sell you a new phone and you have to pay for it monthly. For example, I once had a seller that wanted to sell me an iPhone 13 Pro for 900€ ($962). I wanted an iPhone 14 Pro. So I bought it, new, from the official apple website. If I wanted to buy an iPhone 14 Pro+ with 512 GB storage, I would have to pay 1769€ (1905 $). But that's not the best part. So I wanted to sell my iPhone 13 Pro and I was kind of charged for 900€ and the seller didn't want to give me anything. So I went on my country's largest website to buy and sell anything (something like Craiglist) and I found the exact model and got nearly 700€ for it. Every time, I will buy new and high end and sell it in three years. You get a warranty and so on and it's just a phone. It can be used for 6 to 8 years without problems so you can get a very good price for it if you keep it in good condition. So that's your LPT for the day. I hope it will help you out, because it really helped me.
