Theyve got foldable iPhones now, the iphone Duo - it uses the apple pen as well Theyve got the iphone 18 pro which comes in different colours - theyve got pop start Rosé photoshopped with a burgundy one 😩 for some reason New Apple watches that record conversation so that you can rewind 15seconds and see what was just said Are you arsed? Will you buy the latest models? I bought the orange iphone last year and returned it, and went straight back to Samsung, far superior imo!

It says it’s a two-part case, I reckon it’ll work like the Samsung fold cases. I’ll definitely be waiting! Someone on Reddit mentioned just getting a refurbished one and I thought that was a grand idea

Do you know, i forgot about the Samsung fold, had to Google it 😅

They had a fold one ages ago and then withdrew it due to problems before releasing the current ones iirc

Definitely good to wait a little before buying, but it does look cool

I love Apple products, but the cost is prohibitive. I just can’t justify spending that kind of money. I’ll be keeping my current - refurbished - phone till it dies and then getting a replacement - refurbished - phone as and when.

These are just the pro models aren’t they? So they will be more expensive. Think the standard 18 will be announced at a later date and should be a better price. But I agree there’s no need for a new one every year. Mine is a 16 and I must have had it two years as Sky have emailed me saying I can have a new model of if I want one. Which obviously would be a new contract. As long as the battery is ok I will keep this one.

It looks cool but how would you get a case on it, i cant really tell

Its always a good idea to wait for the phones to be used for a while first, I remember the iphone 6 bent when it first came out 😬

I think I'd need a camel to trail behind me carrying some of those cement block phones now. Any chance of a cute, small, lightweight one?

Maybe the foldies fit the bill, but I reckon they cost as much as a car now.

The one I have will do until it dies on me. Same as all the previous ones. I am seriously NOT up to date with my phone, but it works, does everything I need and that'll do.

I have a watch but rarely use it now. I have cardiac arrythmia and it was too anxiety inducing looking at the heart rate, so I stopped wearing it all the time and am all the better for that. I could turn that feature off I suppose, but am too lazy.

I think the foldies are for that purpose but the hefty price tag, omg

Theres just no need for a brand new one every year anymore is there

Sorry to hear about the arrythmia x

I think that Duo looks absolutely fantastic. I’m really impressed with it. But there’s nothing wrong with my 16 plus and I can’t upgrade til next year, so I won’t get it brand new and not interested in getting it brand new. I will be getting it eventually though. I can get rid of my iPad and have two in one.

Misread - $2000. But nearly £1500 so my point remains 😂

Its just too expensive isnt it?! And the phone contracts now are 3 or 4 years long, and still over £50pm, its just non justifiable!

As soon as I read ‘prices from £2000’ I lost interest.
