iPhone prices — hell, flagship phone prices in general — have never been higher. At the same time, the carrier subsidies that used to cover up the costs have gone away and so the amped up prices are all amped up in our faces. Still, I know some people online — not just YouTubers and bloggers — who each year, every year, still always get the new iPhone. Now, I have to do that for my job, but I was curious why and how they did it. So, I asked. Why was easy. They always wanted the latest and the greatest. How was a lot more interesting: They’d mastered the art of selling their previous iPhone right before the next one was was announced and using the money they got to greatly — greatly — reduce the cost of upgrading. And you can too! SPONSOR: Eero Get $100 off a package that includes an eero base unit, two eero Beacons and one year of eero Plus.
