What's your price limit in purchasing a phone?

Way back when I was in secondary school, things were a little bit cheap compared to now and using $100 to purchase a phone was seen as waste of money. Oh yes! I made a vow not to follow the footsteps of those that squander money on phone, I vowed not to purchase a phone that's even up $50 not to talk of $100. Should I say it was poverty mentality? No! At that time phones of $100 were seen as "rich men's phones", so I wanted to stay on my lane to manage what I have (cut your coat according to your resources🤗)

I saw those big boys in class holding a well studded phone as waste of resources because they could easily get a simple phone with the basic requirements such;

• Make call

• Browse(what the kind of network available at that time)

• Snap picture (with the kind of camera quality available

• Normal inbuilt space (RAM; afterall there's SD card

they would save some money but hell no, they like to spend money on phones.

As time goes on, we started seeing the reason to get a good quality phone, we began to check phone processors, Canon-like camera, RAM and other things as major requirements.

• We wanted to get along with technology,

• we wanted to feel the sharpness of Camera,

• we wanted to feel the fastness of internet (3G, 4G, 5G)

and all these come with increase in the price of phones.

I that once said I can't buy phone with $100 went ahead to buy a phone of $150 and above.

I've bought series of phones that were above $100 and they didn't looked like waste of money to me when I bought them because they worth the prices.

Should we talk about iPhones and their prices?

It's no longer a big news that Apple [iPhone] is dominating the phone market with its high quality products and this also comes with a matching price.

You know the prices of the various specs, right?

I've seen a lot young fellows holding these phones as if they were bought with $1 and it makes me wonder if they're plucking money from the tree... although some of these young fellows using the phones are not 'pure'

A lot of people have done malicious acts just to belong in the latest iPhone's gang. I need not to mention those acts.

And if they by mistake misplace these phones, they'll be like, "The world has ended"

I once picked a misplaced iPhone 13 for a customer that came to our eatery to buy food. She unknowingly left the phone after she purchased food and you needed to see how she rushed back with fear all over asking if we saw her phone.

I know we have our weaknesses on how we behave if we lost our phones, but this lady was on a cr*zy level, she acted as if she'd drop dead if she doesn't see the phone, her heart was beating as if she partook in Olympic race.

Immediately we gave her the phone, she became calm and relaxed.

Today, I called a friend that I haven't heard from for a while, it's not that we talk often but I noticed I haven't been seeing her disturbing status on WhatsApp even. She told me that her two iPhones were stolen and she's "mourning" the phones. One is iPhone 13 pro and the other is a lesser quality of iPhone, they worth over $1,700.

I was shocked to hear that she lost that amount of money on phone. I wanted to raise my voice on her but she's a big girl na....

According to her, she passed through "alot" to get the phones and all my mind was that it was her father that bought it for her because the man is rich but she said she bought it herself (the rich family must have contributed though). So she used her $1,700 to buy a phone when she's not working.

Funny enough, she wasn't using the phone to do any reasonable thing aside snapping of pictures and videos for Snapchat.

Conclusion

No doubt, it's good to enjoy life when you have the money but of what use is it to get use a million dollars to buy just a phone when you are "poor"?

What of the phone get lost?🤗
