That argument is probably more about whether Huawei should play a roll in setting up the 5G infrastructure, I highly doubt a country like New Zealand will not have 5G as this is the inevitable next step. It maybe another year or two before we see broader availability, but as I said, I buy my iPhones now with a 3 to 4 year lifespan in mind. In my opinion the time when upgrading every 2 years or even every year are over. The only time I upgraded from one iPhone to the next the following year was between 2010 and 2011. I bought my first iPhone 4 in 2010 and when the 4S with SIRI came out in 2011 I really wanted that. After that I upgraded to a 5S in 2013, 2 years after I got the 4S, then I got the 6S Plus in 2015, again 2 years, then I got an iPhone 8 in 2018 which was 3 years after the 6S Plus. I expect I have the iPhone 8 for 3 years and who knows, maybe I’ll even keep it for 4 years, it all depends on what deals are being offered. When my wife and I bought the iPhone 8 we actually had already decided to stick with our 6S phones for another year and we then would have bought probably an XR last year, but around Black Friday in 2018 our provider offered the iPhone 8 64Gb for a $150 downpayment and $15 over 2 years which adds up to a total of $510 and back then if I had bought an unlocked iPhone 8 from Apple it would have been $819 so getting it for $310 less seemed like a pretty good deal and after selling my 6S Plus at the time for $400 I essentially am paying a bit more than $100. All these prices are Canadian Dollars.

Yeah 5G, I’m interested in it for the data speeds but I don’t see the networks and or hardware being up to scratch for a couple of years yet Not to mention there is some great arguements around new Zealand currently about why we shouldn’t go to 5 g, From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, 10 February 2020 12:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Thoughts on iPhone9? If you don’t want to spend the money then why bother to buy this upcoming phone? Your iPhone 8 is a perfectly fine phone and it will serve you well for another 2 years, I have one myself and certainly wouldn’t even dream about buying this upcoming phone which almost certainly will not have 5G support. Whether I buy an iPhone 12 in the fall depends greatly on what Apple comes up with, but for me it is also unlikely since it will probably have first generation support for 5G, and maybe even first generation support for under display touch ID, but in my opinion the phones nowadays are such mature products and so expensive that I want to get at least 3 years out of one and even better 4. I figure if I guy whatever iPhone comes out in the fall of 2021 I get a model which better supports some of these new technologies, by then my iPhone 8 which I only bought in December of 2018 will be 3 years old and it will have earned it’s money. I know some people are on plans which allow them to upgrade each year, but of course these types of plans don’t come for free an d in the end Apple and the providers get their money out of you.

Sounds like the iPhone 9 will be the best of all worlds. I hope the pesky IOS 13 bugs disappear and it works like IOS 12, smooth and reliable with 13 features. I will scoop up a 9 if that happens, maybe. I like my 8 and not enthused about spending more money.
