To upgrade my phone?

ive had my current phone for two and a half years. The battery is gone and it’s slowing down, the apps don’t work correctly etc.

I have looked into upgrading and it’s only £15 a month more than my current contact which I can easily afford. My partner thinks I should stay with the current phone that I have because it’s “not sustainable” to get a new one and this one “still works”. But I just think it would be more beneficial to get the new one

2.5 years isn’t long if it’s working, how long until you have paid your contract off? Why not then get a sim only and save up for a new phone rather than expensive contracts

Agree buy a phone
You can get a decent smartphone for much less than 60 a month.

Get a new phone and fuck his opinion.

I got a new iPhone upgrade last year and the battery on it has already gone to shit so I wouldn’t recommend Apple!

Is your current phone an iPhone? Because thwybsewm to be the only one to become useless after 2 years, even before they are even paid for.

Why they are so popular is beyond me!

It baffles me that people on here can’t make the most basic life decisions for themselves.
