Even if I don't plan to buy a new phone every year, I was honestly really drawn in by the depth of the analysis and the editing. This was a really good watch!

[AnsonLee-cxct]

The fact is that you DO NOT need to upgrade every year. That is a complete waste of money as phones do not get significant upgrades every year. Upgrading every 3 years is optimum, saving you money and giving you significant upgrades. For example, iPhone 13 Pro Max still holds up well and is still a beast today. You can sell the phone for about 50-70% of its original value on aftermarket and buy the new phone. Without the limitations of different plans, you can even choose to switch to other phones, not upgrade and stay on your phone or switch to other plans if desired. Sticking to the same plan and upgrading every single year is simply NOT WORTH IT.

If you need a new phone every year you have a problem. The amount of money saved waiting every 3-4 years would make more sense. Rather than getting small updates each year. I keep all my phones.

you are the best channel ever i was wondering this but was too lazy to do the math of all the options. you lay everything out so easy. just subscribed

I got the best deal. I kept my 12 for almost 4 years and just upgraded. I don’t need a new phone every year. And honestly, if it wasn’t for the battery, I’d still have it.

I’d rather use that money on investing. I did the math and my phone cost me about $18 a month for the 4 years.

I don’t care about what other people think or looking broke as some of the people have stated in these comments. That is a ridiculous mindset.

If you care what everybody thinks about your old phone, then you have bigger problems.

So if you do any of these plans, you’re basically just renting a phone every year.

[EnronnSierra]

Use my strategy, keep your phone as long as possible by taking good care of it. I am still on an iPhone X and I will be upgrading next year. Thats nearly 8, 400 dollars saved. I also use the cheapest T-Mobile plan at $18 per month, since I have free WiFi at work and its included with my rent at home.

I have been on the iPhone upgrade program since the iPhone 12 Pro Max dropped. Not once have I taken advantage of it. Usually there’s a family member that is willing to buy my iPhone since they are pretty much brand new and always in a case. Usually I can sell it and get enough money to pay off the loan and take care of the down payment and first month on the new iPhone. One thing to note is that when you sell on Swappa or eBay you now have to verify your identity with your Social Security number and if you gross over $600 in a year you get sent a tax form for you to pay taxes on your gains. I don’t sell on Swappa or eBay anymore because of this. That and I don’t want to give my Social Security to PayPal.

Crazy how boost mobile is now a major carrier

[michaelcorcoran]

The cheapest way is to be a couple years behind and just buy it used.

The GOAT of mobile plan videos! Don’t pay attention to the people who don’t appreciate your video. I share your videos to everyone I know so they have they are informed about carriers and phone upgrades

[CartoonApocalypse]

Great video! I would love to see this, but for every other year since I'm on a two-year upgrade cycle

[Clt.princee]

I work for T-Mobile and this was a very insightful video, awesome job!

[pf]

Pretty impressed by how you figured this out. 😂 Thanks so much for people like me to break this all down. 🙏🏼😀

[westondaniel]

I do the ATT example every year. It’s so convenient, I get the new iPhone on release day and send back last years iPhone in the included box.

[KeyboardSavant]

This was an incredibly insightful piece you put together here! Your delivery had a great cadence, and actually allowed for me to process the information as you explained it. Excellent work overall.

[hugeal]

As the options are vastly different on Business Plans, a video on these 2 lines and up would be super helpful! 👍

[ryangray]

If you do carrier trade in through apple both tmobile and verizon phones come unlocked

[RyanLynch]

very interesting to hear that you're on visible. I'm still grandfathered into their old plan price

[legend]

The iPhone upgrade program includes AppleCare which makes up the difference in many cases.
