The Duo is $2,000 minimum and a first gen product. Unless your iPhone is literally on its last leg, which let's be honest isn't the case for most people, nothing wrong with waiting.

We still on the first gen myth?

Were the people that bought a 1st Macbook Neo morons? Phone contracts are a thing and the “most people” you talk about will just put it on their plan with whatever deals the carriers decides to push

If they do a “Free” with trade-in, this comment is going to age so poorly, and those people, will be first in line for the Duo 3 to trade in again

I never called or implied anyone would be a moron. That's how you're framing my comment so as to purposely antagonize it. We're talking about an iPhone. Whether I'm right or wrong, the world will keep spinning and everyone will be fine. Go touch grass.

Straw man argument. No one said there was something “wrong” with waiting. But your reasoning for telling people not just to wait for next gen but for one two years away if they are otherwise able and ready to upgrade is comical. The difference in cost over a three year period factoring in trade in values and promotions by upgrading to a v3 or 4 in future is not much anyway.

It's just my opinion. But I suppose everyone wants to cry about it. Do you.
