Caveat - I know not everyone is fortunate enough to have this first world problem. My iPhone X contract with 3 comes to an end soon and I want to get out of the cycle of upgrading and spending a fortune each month, which I've done since about 2005!
Yes I know I could buy a Nokia 3210, but aside from that option, how do people keep their iPhone bill down?
I guess I can purchase the handset and do SIM only? But then I don't know if that's worth it as the iPhone handsets seem to mysteriously "die" or slow down once they are a couple of years old, or they make the software obsolete.
I know it's all a capitalist trap but I do kind of still want an iPhone for work and life, so can I have my cake and eat it?
I'd love to hear some tips about how others manage it. Just want to keep monthly outgoings a bit lower really.

Anyone successfully navigated the iPhone upgrade trap and paying less per month on phone?

iPhones sadly do not last for five years…
OP, cancel the contract, trade in your current phone with MusicMagpie or similar, use that as a deposit on a newer iPhone (pay monthly finance if possible), get a cheap SIM, sorted!
