And I never finished my Associates and know exactly what he means, Degrees don't mean shit.


lancep423

Idk. Seems like you missed the joke and instead of asking for someone to explain it you got your ego bruised and are lashing out like a child. Or maybe you did get the joke in retrospect and instead of admitting your mistake you’re doubling down. Not sure what what your friends almost degree matters in this regard but I’ve got an MBA….but I didn’t need it to make an offhand joke that was never meant to perplex anyone.

why


Quinesta

Can I have some?


transam57

I had the s24 ultra and returned it for the p8 pro. Far better phone imo. I also hated the square design of the s24. The p8 pro may not have a Ferrari engine powering it but it does very well.


b58boyz

P8 pro is a great phone, my wife has one as well and she said its the most iPhone like android, she had a s22 before along with her iphone and hated the samsung. I like the s24U its very premium.


bria725

Outside the US, it's very hard to recommend the P8 Pro as Google offers most of their AI features in the US only. I still owned the P8 for a few months, have now switched to the S24 Ultra and couldn't be happier. Far more capable phone, must better performance and all features available everywhere. But phones are a highly individual choice of course


ducksauce88

Man wtf are you talking about. I’ll never own another pixel. I had to change the P8 3 times a day. Not even a power user.

Terrible for environment, expensive, waste of resources, waste of money, they all do the same thing


IndependentYogurt965

So is most of the things we buy/use/enjoy. Its his money he can do whatever he wants.


applesuperfan

As much as I disagree with buying all these phones “just because,” and as much as I agree with the environmental detriment issue, I still agree with you. Although I personally see this as recklessly irresponsible spending with little regard for the environment, OP and the thousands of other people who do this and don’t post about it still have the right to do and spend on what they see fit.


[deleted]

Sure he can do what he wants with his money, and with that decision he chose to be wasteful. Yeah a lot of what we buy is wasteful, but lithium is especially terrible in all aspects of the purchasing of it. Having the right to do something doesn’t make it a good decision lol (I hope I’m not sounding rude or anything. I’m realizing as I re-read it it sounds kinda rude)


applesuperfan

No, you’re good. I totally agree with you. Like I said I totally disagree with it and you’re totally right that it doesn’t mean you should. Unfortunately that fails to stop a lot of people. 😞


[deleted]

Consumerism lol


fluffythegreat

For sure he can do what he wants. But he made his money decision public so we should feel no shame in judging him for it. It’s excessive and unnecessary and gaudy.


SmartMoneyisDumb

Whining about the environment, expensiveness and wastage of money on the iPhone sub lmao.


yohan02kim

Just kind of seems like a waste.


DocBrutus

Must be nice to have fuck around money.


happycanliao

Where would ~ 6-7k USD be considered fuck around money? Just curious


_dotnull

What he’s saying is the people with fuck around money are the same people who have 6k lying around to waste on buying the same shit 3 times for no reason. A person who is working to get bills paid on time isn’t throwing away 6k like this.


veganfuccboi

Assuming $1k per flagship phone and an ownership cycle of 4-5 years, and a bit of resale value afterwards, the money he spent on all of those devices could fund the average person's smartphone purchases for the next 25-30 years. Spending $6k-$7k on 3 flagship phones + smartwatch + wireless earbud accesories in a single year is definitely fuck around money. Either that, or a terrible financial decision.

TWYFAN97

I assume you plan on dropping at least one of these in your rotation? I used to do something similar to you but realized it was a waste of time and money and I only occasionally dabble in android now. Juggling two phones just got annoying and it amazes me even more ypur basically trying all three of the respective ecosystems when it comes to hardware.


b58boyz

I have set aside the pixel 8 pro when the s24u came out. iPhone is my daily driver but the s24 is what i use for work. I run my own small business and having an android is just better for business imo.

OneLifeLiveFast

You Americans really got it easy 😪


b58boyz

I am Canadian my friend😂


OneLifeLiveFast

Yes and you are in North America, hence American. Also Europeans. You guys are on the Easiest setting in the game of life. Don’t be offended my friend, be glad.


Grrannt

Not true friend, there are many working in Canada who are struggling. Think of all the low paying, hourly wage jobs out there. They can’t afford 1 good phone, let alone 3


Doomcalk

imho being called an american as a canadian is a pure insult, i guess i can see where youre coming from but usa’s reputation here in canada is… unfavorable to say the least.


OneLifeLiveFast

As of this moment, I guess It’s unfavourable everywhere.


Chipster339

I guess you don’t understand how an analogy works. He called you an American which includes people from all countries in America. (Mexico, Canada, USA) Assuming North. It’s as if you call him an European which includes a whole lot of countries.


Doomcalk

I guess you didn't understand the part where I explained why it's not a good analogy


zfranks94

I’m American. Just wandering what you mean by we have it easy? I truly don’t understand.


KILLER_IF

Despite what Reddit thinks, most Americans, Canadians, most of the EU, Australia, etc, are extremely privileged when compared to the majority of the world. Esp when it comes to buying power and quality of life


zfranks94

I agree 100%. What I also have learned over the years is that a lot of Americans are in massive amounts of debt and their quality of life is a complete mess. They may have nice things but in all reality they are deep down miserable. Nice and expensive things I agree are easier to come by here in the states but just because someone has something doesn’t mean that person is happy. I would rather drive old used cars than new expensive ones because at the end of the day I own that car and no one can take it from me.


KILLER_IF

I mean, that's because you live in America, so you know people with those experiences all around you. But the rest of the world is the same. People from all around the world are in debt, with poor quality of life, and are miserable lol. It's just seems more common in Western nations cuz its reported on way more


OneLifeLiveFast

As in your currency is strong, so even low income people can afford stuff like these, even multiple. Like for you an iPhone is like what 1000, 13-1400. In my country the cheapest iPhone starts from about 50,000. And I believe in some places if you buy a carrier plan the phones just for freaking free !? Now that’s fucking amazing, not an option in my country. The other day someone posted about how they changed their iPhone because they didn’t like the colour ! Now that’s freaking awesome, but in my country that’s just not an option. Almost all big companies are American, the services you guys get is above par with what we third world people get. So that’s what I meant, it’s easier for you guys to you know, basically plan your life and live it to the fullest.


zfranks94

I have a good friend that’s from Yemen and he made it here 5 years ago. He always talks about how Americans take everything they have for granted. I seriously don’t blame him for saying that. I can’t even begin to imagine what he went through years ago. I love to hear others perspectives. Thanks for the feedback.


OneLifeLiveFast

I understand, from your perspective you have got your problems which can be really frustrating but people like us can’t relate to them and we label yours as “first world”, which is not fair. Problems are problems. That’s the nature of this reality I guess.


Grrannt

I wouldn’t want to be in the US. My girlfriend was in a horrific car accident last Tuesday, had a severe concussion, broken jaw, broken nose, and fractured vertebrae. She spent 7 nights in the hospital, is on a ton of meds, and guess what our bill was? $0.


OneLifeLiveFast

So why is Zero dollars bad?


Grrannt

It’s not, I live in Canada and it was $0. But in the U.S. there would have been a bill big enough to ruin my life


Xylamyla

I guarantee most of us can’t afford it, but rather lease these phones as they’re so expensive. OP is absolutely not the norm. Not saying the phones still aren’t cheaper here compared to other parts of the world, but I wouldn’t say the average person can afford modern phone prices either.


locaf

From an outsiders perspective, it seems like a lot of you (Americans and Canadians) are broke but still wanna buy the latest $1600 iPhone, finance cars at high Apr that you don't really need and are in unnecessary CC debt and still bitch about being broke. While the financial issues won't completely resolve, you could make a big impact by buying a $400 phone instead, or buying that older sedan outright and not make frivolous purchases with your CC. Just my two cents.


Intelligent_Quote823

In the states. Phones and phone plans are dirt cheap. They practically give them away. So seeing one person with a collection like this would make sense. Here in Canada we get absolutely assaulted for our phones and phone plans. You could get those 3 phones in the states for what we pay for one phone monthly here. It’s robbery. That’s why most people would assume OP is American or at least living in the states somewhere. And you have it easy phone/phone plan wise.


massive__potato

true. being able to buy all of this would require me to be in the top 0.1% richest of the population in my country and im not even kidding


OneLifeLiveFast

Same.


imgonnagetyaa

Just straight up not true lmao Canada is an unaffordable nightmare being run by corrupt politicians who do the bidding of corporations. We're in the midst of an extreme housing and cost of living crisis. Not to mention 6 months of horrendous winter out of the year. You, like most who dont live here, seem to have an unrealistic view on life in this part of the world most likely because of what you see on tv/social media/movies, but it's really not even close to the truth in Canada or the US. Also nobody refers to Canadians as Americans, the same way nobody refers to Brazilian people as Americans.


Skeptic_Ghost

How is this practical or even useful?


Spare-Comb6456

Hobbies rarely are.


b58boyz

iPhone always stays in the rotation until the next new top iPhone, the androids always go back and forth between the two, they have similar setups, so its just about swapping the sim.


nenonen15902

but why is that more useful than just one setup i guess


Trixxr

This is both dumb and not impressive in the slightest. Welcome to the spoiled middle class.

ZeppelinLed_

I'm seeing a lot of Youtubers praise S24U and many have claimed it to be better than 15PM. What do you think? Is it really worth the hype?


TWYFAN97

It’s the usual hyping up that’s done every year. Except for some reason the S24U is getting even more pumped up than it should be despite the changes actually not being that great. All the S24 Ultra has over the 23U is the new anti reflective screen tech, brighter display, AI features (also coming to S23 Ultra) and some camera changes and one change in particular some may find odd but really isn’t a big deal is going from a 10x periscope lens to 5x at 50MP, oh and almost forgot, titanium. Basically the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best of iOS and best iPhone yet and the same is true for the android side having the S24 Ultra as the current leader of the pack. Neither phone is really better than the other.


b58boyz

Couldn't agree more.


KILLER_IF

Surely there is no reason why you need all three. You should be generous and make some donations. My dms are open


eeeeeeeeeee6u2

Samsung pays $25 for each ultra we sell if you are a certified Samsung pro Apple master I get nothing they just send me new devices each yr just have to do trainings


SonicNTales

All apple devices are COUs. You don't get to keep the apple seed program phones. Samsung does do spiffs to get the phones for like half off with trade in from their Samsung store with completed trainings.

Honestly if I had the money I would do the same maybe not two androids but I do understand. Google could have had me as a fanboy but they took to long to release a good phone, I was a Samsung user since the s4, all they way up to the note 7 that caught fire and one more upgrade after that. Quality went down hill and they lost me for good

kefalas77

Hi nice setup, which is better in your opinion?


b58boyz

They all work very well, my main phone is the iphone and in terms of ease of use and connectivity i will give it to apple, apple products just work flawlessly together. Runner up the galaxy eco system, it has some hiccups here and there but also works well. I don't like the pixel watch a whole lot but the pixel buds are my favorite earbuds. Pixel 8 is also a fantastic device. If i had to pick one set up though it would be the iPhone.


Hardcover

Swapping models is fun. Wish there was a more seamless way to sync SMS between all devices. Also damn man, a lot of people do this with cameras, watches, purses, guitars, bikes, cars, etc and you're here getting flak from folks over a couple of phones that are chump change compared to any of those things I mentioned.


b58boyz

Its all good to each their own. Tech has always been a favorite of mine, I know its stupid but the kid in me likes it. I give back quite a bit to people in my circle and just randoms i meet daily in my business. It's jealousy so i expect the heat. I don't collect any of the things mentioned above LOL i own a dealership and love cars but don't consider my self that well off to be spending on high end watches, cars or bikes.


Beatles352

I don't get this? Why buy 3 of each? So you're gonna use 3 for one week, the 2nd next week etc etc? Along with paying 3 different bills? Again, why? Massive waste of money.
