consumerism


Yeah, guilty as charged, but in my defense, I change phones often but my replaced phones go to different family members, who are happy with past generation flagships. My previous two phones are being used and all the previous ones had long lives, it's not like I just bin them.

If they sold the 512 7 Pro in Europe I might buy it and offer the 6 Pro to my mother-in-law who has a 5 or so year-old phone now (or my mother with her 4-year-old one, or maybe to my wife, and she in turn to her mother), but I don't think I will be going through the Australian workaround and the associated customs and warranty risks for that.


Fair enough at least the devices get a second life.
