Indeed, if I didn’t have my XR, I’d be all over this bad boy like white on rice. But since I do… I’m going to try to get at least three years out of it. I paid full price unlocked in addition to the apple care plan since I am an iPhone dropper. So… After taxes, I paid around 1200 bucks. It’s always tempting to go for the newest thing, but I should be good for the three years and probably four.
