August will be when I complete my original 9 months contract for my job. I receive my contract completion bonus and I am thinking of getting a new phone.

Of course, when I first knew that I would get a completion bonus, I was thinking of saving it to my war chest and to deploy when time is right but because I recently lost my iPhone 8 and I am using a iPhone 6 Plus from my uncle.

It is all good except that the battery life is really bad and it can drain within half a day and it is quite slow when opening apps. But I am also considering to just change the battery at the Apple store for $69 dollars as I feel that I can still survive with this phone as long the battery life can be better.
I am still thinking and figuring it until on Thursday night, on the way back home my phone blacked out on me. That was when I thought that I really need to change my phone.
So I am also leaning towards getting the iPhone XR at $850 which will be not from the apple store but a pretty reliable mobile shop that my mum got her google pixel from.
I am leaning towards the iPhone XR as it is cheaper than XS and X. My aunt has the iPhone XR and I used her phone before and it was pretty good.
I like to get a new phone as well as I will be traveling and I wanna have some nice photos. Currently, the quality of iPhone 6 Plus is not very clear. So I don't take photos as often as I did previously.
So I think I will be getting the iPhone XR 😉
Just change the battery in SimLim or buy a xiaomi
ReplyDeleteWhy not give yourself a challenge - buy the new phone only when your passive income is sufficient to cover the cost of the new phone?
